Q1 & Eureka no longer worlds tallest apartment towers - Page 7

Erektion · May 7th, 2011, 10:49 AM

To me the crown on The Torch is fine (just) but overall I find the designs to be bland on all of those top 3. It's like someone went and took out an Architecture for Dummies book and went wild. Hopefully Pentominium brings back a little faith in the design process. I'm sure the quality will be high with Grocon associated in the build.
(hang on just checked thread but can't see evidence of Grocon...have I got the right building?)

Cull, I read that Pentominium has gone on hold and doesn't look like it'll continue... So no hope for that

But have you seen this in New York? Meant to be 432m so this could be new worlds tallest?

Forgot about world one, didn't realise it had started construction either

CULWULLA · November 29th, 2011, 11:39 PM

yeah atm looks like its progressing. just about above grd. long way to go. but i think it may become tallest before pentomimium starts up again.

CULWULLA · February 23rd, 2012, 11:21 PM

god i hate this thread makes me so sad

Dimethyltryptamine · February 24th, 2012, 06:31 AM

+1, makes my eyes sad. i honestly feel sorry for the people of Dubai for having to look at those buildings!

CULWULLA · February 24th, 2012, 11:16 AM

all the tops look good though

Eastern37 · February 25th, 2012, 04:37 AM

Dubai and the rest of Saudi have a different architectural style to us, I wouldn't say it's that bad, were just not used to seeing tall saudi styled buildings........

Mornnb · February 25th, 2012, 05:31 AM

The problem is that they look like 400m buildings of Meriton quality... Such massive buildings should be better designed.

GoldNey · February 25th, 2012, 09:46 AM

what i don't like is that some of me i find are beautiful and amazing, while others look like big bunches of lego all stuffed together..

CULWULLA · May 18th, 2012, 12:11 AM

BRing on more super talls! City Rd corridor and egate! At least one prominent supertall in Perth should be achieveable.

I dont follow. The earth stopped rotating coz someone didnt wash dishes? Must try that sometime. Anyway, doesnt happen, people in Dubai have maids, only this shithole doesnt.
