I think they started doing that for some time now.

^ ^ Funny that when I mentioned they were putting up some of the facade a month ago, everyone thought I was nuts.

great, can`t wait to see more GLASS!

Slugbelch · #**1008** 06-05-2006, 01:23 PM

Webcam finally working. It was down forever and was hoping for an upgrade...

nope. No progress on this part of Dubai.

The wings have caught up with the core though.

UrbanSoldier · #**1009** 06-05-2006, 10:29 PM

OMG!!! The glass is beautiful, even if it's only 4 panels!

It looks like it's navy blue and silver. The Burj Dubai never ceases to amaize me!

I think this is the first shot from on top of the thing:

Sweet updates! Glass! Views from the top! Good stuff. This is a milestone in the tower's progress.

Slugbelch · #**1013** 06-07-2006, 04:47 AM

Core 3 in this direction, I guess.

It looks like the mall in the background, but I wonder what they will put in the empty ground in the distance? Because after that, it starts to get hazy.

If I had an Armani apt. where he is standing and had this view of the rooftop of the big, fat mall, I would hope that there would be something nicer to look at in the future.

Isn't all that land in the background for Bussiness Bay?

malec · #**1015** 06-07-2006, 11:29 PM

Business bay is to the right of that pic I think

I believe that the workers are mostly for India, and they are probably more familiar with english than arab.

Who is that guy? One of the posters here? Or just someone else's photo from the internet?

Slugbelch · #**1018** 06-08-2006, 03:36 AM

^puliskalawakan from flickr. He was a visitor to the site around 3-22-06. He also posted the model and the construction site pic ground level also:

(All were posted in the Middle East forum)
BTW, another one from there. Old but good:

It's probably been said before, but, the number of cranes is amazing.

I am currently in Dubai while on project. I have been here numerous times, but today I took the Big Bus tour and I am still in shock at what is going on in this Emirate. Absolutely unbelievable, I do not understand what is driving all this but good for Dubai.
