What in the hell are you talking about

BTW, the building reached 21st floor already.

I'm loving it. It reminds of one of my favorite buildings here in Chicago:

I mean it seems a little bit a main office building, Headquarters, from a big computer company lilke IBM- For example see IBM building in Sao Paulo. It has a little bit of it, although in Dubai the architecture is better.

I like this building. Very minimalistic.

Can't imagine why they named it The Index though...

AltinD · #88 Posted **Jan 27, 2007, 9:21 AM**

^^ It is named The Index becouse it is part of Dubai International FINANCIAL Market complex.

That is just insane! How wide that is plus how tall its going to be. By far I think thats going to be the best building in Dubai.

Reminds me of the Fortum building in Finland:

Ghost · #92 Posted **Jan 27, 2007, 8:45 PM**

Lecom · #94 Posted **Jan 29, 2007, 3:39 AM**

How many u/g levels will it have? I counted at least 5.

SFUVancouver · #95 Posted **Feb 3, 2007, 2:30 AM**

This building reminds me of an office tower here in Vancouver. The building was built as the headquarters for timber firm MacMillan Blodel. It was designed by Vancouver architect Arthur Erickson. The picture below is the tower as it was when it was built.

WonderlandPark · #96 Posted **Feb 3, 2007, 2:59 AM**

Nice photos, but damn, are they ever going to finish that Rose Hotel tower, they have spent like a year on that spire ^^^

The Index is one of the stronger designs in Dubai, IMO, and it is AWESOME to watch going up, that concrete form system is huuuuge.

Yes there are actually two of them... Both of the gigantic concrete edges of the building are actually cores. You know, where the tower cranes are poking out of the building. In fact those tower cranes are probably going down/coming out of the unfinished tops of elevator shafts or stairwells or something like that.

^ That's what I first thought!
