The islands that are in the shape of the World are a nice touch!! The prince that spearheaded the effort wanted to ensure Dubai's olong term economic stability, and he has forseen that his oil based city needs a new basis for economic sustainability. That will come in the form of tourism.

And they have an indoor ski center. Looks like a huge tube. They don't have the weather for snow...so they make the weather for snow. lol

i wonder who's going to pay the repair bill for once the wind turbines go out, the renter or the owner?

either way, both sides have must have cash so the $100k+ bill to fix the problem shouldn't be much for either party...

Dubai is a very nice to place to visit for up to a week. Lots of fun stuff to do for tourists. I wouldn't want to live there though.

With the right software controlling the movements it could look cool. With 80 different individuals each controlling their own floor it will probably end up looking like the last picture most of the time. In other words, like crap.

The news of this building is old news. You can find info about it all over.

ive actually been seeing this on the news and various places, but the same question comes up.

This is going to be built and designed by someone who has NEVER built or designed a skyscraper?
