droneriot July 21st, 2010, 07:50 PM Hard to take this seriously with that design. Looks like something you'd expect to be built in Pyongyang.
skyperu34 July 22nd, 2010, 04:20 AM Not bad. General plan looks very interesting.
comet the cat July 22nd, 2010, 12:21 PM as weird as this looks, i actually like it, more power to Pyramids! But what continent is this on?
Swarfiga July 22nd, 2010, 01:14 PM It looks like an Almost Brutalist Version of the Ryugyong.
GulfArabia July 22nd, 2010, 03:15 PM TUNIS is an Arab country in Northern Africa
Great new Icon for Tunis :D
are these turbans on top ?
Mesch July 22nd, 2010, 03:51 PM Shouldn't they have highrises and skyscrapers first ??
droneriot July 22nd, 2010, 04:02 PM Here are some highrises:

Note that I only made a quick search on the web, they might have better (taller) ones.
Mesch July 22nd, 2010, 06:33 PM I don't know. I still don't think that Tunis has the fitting environment for such a supertall skyscraper..
droneriot July 22nd, 2010, 06:50 PM I did not comment on whether this project fits or not, I merely commented on your assertion that Tunis does not have highrises.
Mesch July 22nd, 2010, 07:54 PM Neither was my post a comment on the pics ;)
But thanks anyways for correcting my misconception..
Tounsi July 24th, 2010, 01:04 AM I don't know. I still don't think that Tunis has the fitting environment for such a supertall skyscraper..
and why is that ???
thanks for the pics droneriot btw and we do have other highrises in the city here are other pics of the ACTUAL CDB of Tunis:

In fact Tunis as a capital of a relatively small emregent country should have have a supertall and will have pretty soon supertall all construction are going uprise due to the lack of available space.
On the other hand major project are underway in tunis Tunis Sport City ( affiliates of Dubai Sport City ) The Tunis financial harbor (affiliate of the GFH in Bahrain)
There is a thread and a whole forum dedicated to Tunisia it will probably rectify your biaised vision of Tunisia ^^

Handbanana July 24th, 2010, 06:08 AM If built, won't this be the first 1000+ ft building in Africa?
motozine July 24th, 2010, 08:32 AM don't really like with the design.
sam06pr July 25th, 2010, 05:17 PM That's interesting. Maybe this will spark a growth of skyscrapers in this city
