In any other forum posts like the first one here would be done away with as a silly hoax.

Not here. :cool:

yes :D

i'm really excited when we'll hear more about this
hopefully it will go through soon

i mean why should all these architects just do proposals for dubai, when they can build anything they want

i'm sure it's just a matter of time they become approved

This one must be close to the Dubai WTC, look at the reflection in the glass.

December 4th, 2004, 01:42 PM
Yeah, this is one is beyond perfect, all the features I like in a skyscraper are in this tower, at least the exterior features.

Brilliant, dazz.

This tower should've been called Iceberg.. or maybe Ice Burj ;)

Dazz, I cant believe you just recently started drawing buildings, you seem to have the experience of a pro. This drawing is amazing! Keep it up.

SA BOY
December 6th, 2004, 10:05 AM
It has been confirmed by emporis (not me) at 350m so its a bigboy all right

How can they find out if you weren't the one who told them? Do they contact the architecture firm that designed it or what?

SA BOY
December 7th, 2004, 09:31 AM
could verywell be the case. I dont have time to mail every architect regarding heights so I ask you guys to help out.

ahmedr
December 7th, 2004, 10:51 AM
Who's in charge of contacting architects at emporis.com, maybe he's got better relations with international architects that are doing some Dubai work and perhaps he can get us some info on the status of the buildings designed designed by these architects.

SA BOY
December 7th, 2004, 12:04 PM
It could be the case as I have just recieved a mail from Emporis HQ with some more confirmed heights. I have requested confirmation and sources of these heights before I update them but its like ocen heights, new burj hotel tower, icon etc

Trances
December 7th, 2004, 01:32 PM
new burj hotel tower,
looking forward to know that one
belive it will set bench mark for the area in a way

ahmedr
December 7th, 2004, 03:57 PM
I think hes talking about the recently announced Burj Dubai Lake Tower.

Dubai-Lover
December 7th, 2004, 05:19 PM
i guess when normal people like us mail them and say:
gimme height
it won't work

but when they see emporis, they maybe are more co-operative

from that last pic, it looks like it will fill the gap between the trade centre appartments and emirates towers. cant wait to see this so close to the emirates towers!

Dubai-Lover

if it's going to happen it will definitely be the best tower in dubai ever
