Rev.Reverence Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 HOLY SHIT! That's pretty scary/weird/cool...confusing...I know...
Hellion Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 That f%$king awesome! this one is now on the drawing board as well I still cannot believe that the Dubai Tower will be just over 2600 Ft tall!
Burrich1 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I heard about that on the news today. Sweet. Too bad our country isn't cranking out the architectural marvels like we use to. Makes me feel like we've lost our edge.

sass_in_the_pants Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 That is SOOOO cool!! And Darque, at least you can visit FLW houses: http://www.peterbeers.net/interests/flw_rt...an/michigan.htm
~Tszura~ Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 While this building is stunning and gorgeous, there's nooooooo way I would get in it. On paper, I'm sure all the layout and schematics makes sense, but I just don't trust how it would actually function. It may be one of those things that's fine for a bit, but then somewhere, within all the moving parts, a weakness develops, and then *CRASH**....the whole thing comes down! Why can't we just be happy with the magnificence of our natural world? We always have to try to outdo the world around us. tsk tsk tsk

It's like the Contemporary Resort in Disney World. The idea was to build an A-frame, and all the rooms could be inserted and removed with a giant forklift from the outside. It worked for a while but once the foundation settled, the building shifted and all the rooms got wedged into the frame becoming irremovable.

I'm not just a chicken-shit~there's good reason for my fear! And weren't they actually building up the land in Dubai for all this crap? I hope this structure isn't going on one of the man-made land masses.........I wouldn't go within a 1/2 a mile of that structure if this was the case!
