What are your favourite buildings in Dubai.
No such things as meh, it's all so tacky in this thread.

I don't like a part of Dubai buildings but there are some buildings who are stunning and would be real classics if they were placed in some other city where there would be more positive attention for the building.

Your favourite can be build, proposed, approved or under construction building. Just show that Dubai isn't only the city of '10 skyscrapers in the desert' which some say but that is really is a city with some world class skyscrapers.

My top 10

Burj Al Arab
Everybody on this forum knows the Burj Al Arab. It is a beauty

Well, they've got some really great ones there (and some hideous ones too (read about it in my boom thread)) but very few are on an international level of greatness. By this I mean something as good as swiss re or turning torso.

An example I think is the Al Sharq tower. It may look like a bunch of silos to some people but the beauty really lies in the details. I said this when the tower was just released aswell but I realised I was 100% right when I saw these renders:
