I'd never seen Kuwait City's skyline until those last pictures - how impressive! It's amazing!
And to see this building's design come to fruition - it's incredibly futuristic! Can't wait to see it complete!

It is great to finally see this tower materialize. I always was interested in the design, but wasn't sure how it would look built and in the skyline. The final product simply kicks ass!! It is really damn tall, has a unique soaring form with brilliant use of materials (intelligent site and orientation considerations), and it really enhances the skyline without overwhelming (despite its towering height). Awesome!

I almost forgot about this gem. One of my favorites and it certainly is slim pickings in the supertall forum. Can't wait to see the finished product!!!

Kuwait City's skyline has really good designs, it seems that they just don't go with the first render they see. They have really good taste when it comes to architecture.

Architecturally, this is one of my favorites under construction.

It's sculptural... but the glass is a little too reflective for my taste. I like a sheathing that reveals some details.

from some of the more detailed shots, it appears brutalism is alive and kicking.

This tower was totally off my radar for most of its construction . The renderings just did not do it justice . Now that it's nearing completion , all I can say is "Wow !" . What a fantastic looking building .
