Has anybody considered the tremendous waste of water created by generating a 24/7 cloud around the structure, especially when Dubai is in one of the world's hottest deserts?
I didn't think so.

I think its simply amazing the stuff they're even willing to consider in Dubai, regardless if it gets built or not. 5 years ago I looked at all the proposals there and said to myself 'none of that stuff will get built', and now I'm seeing whats actually being built, and I cant be so glib about it any longer. Dont dicount this kind of fantasy stuff so quickly.
As much as I think this building and others in Dubai area very cool looking, I'm not sure if these are all going to have the intended effect. Some of these buildings look more like they belong in Disneyland than in the up-and-coming "business hub" of the Middle East.
I really appreciate the bold vision of designing/proposing this, but I can't imagine I would like my city to have a permanent rain cloud affixed in the skyline. Would anybody here?

Seriously, long column's like that are rather unstable without lateral connection. No visible lateral bracing means that thing is going to wobble like mad. No thanks. I mean, sure it's a desert and all and a rain cloud may look refreshing, but this is nuts.
