*** Dubai Portal On Skyscrapercity ***
hi guys!
 jan and i had the idea to create a dubai portal for skyscrapercity. this is what i have worked on for the past three or four weeks and i can tell you it was a lot of work! the database now comprises all towers with details, pictures, links, news articles, construction updates and much more. there also is a portal for sharjah and abu dhabi, but these are still incomplete. help for these would be much appreciated. the dubai portal will be online from today on. (don't know the exact time, depends on when jan has time  , maybe at 9am gmt  )i will give you more details later. just post your opinions and updates here. the link is http://dubai.skyscrapercity.info resp. http://www.skyscrapercity.info/300.php?id=13

The link has been added in the menu. Portals are there as a non commercial place to gather and show all relevant, interesting or fun info there is about a city or a country. Basically it's just filing of relevant stuff that is being posted here at the forums, but it also allows for customized listings, news and construction updates, image overviews and data search. Anyone is welcome to contribute.

thanks once again jan, especially for your amazing pics
can't wait to add mine in december/january now who will pay me for adding all these towers?  it's a full time job about 10 new towers within 1 1/2 weeks, not bad! i guess it will continue like this for the next few months, as jumeirah lake towers is scheduled for completion in 2007, so they need to shoot these towers out of their cannons!!!

a 3d map is a tremendous idea
if you do the work i just know it will be a hell lot of work we should divide it into projects then one for dubai marina and one for jumeirah lake towers and so on otherwise it would be impossible

Well maybe you can list all projects you want pictures of and then non-lazy members in Dubai can choose which ones they will do, so that the work is divided.
I'll be in Dubai this December too, so if you can't catch up with everything, I might be able to get some pics of stuff. Will also be there in March, hopefully. |

3d maps need very good artists, its gonna have to be the work one or a few individuals, the data is already available, just someone to draw them up as little 3d buildings on a map.

yes, it will be very hard to create something like this and a professional could do it relatively fast
i don't even know how to do things like this me and graphics, forget about it!  i guess the most difficult thing will be to get a 3d plot map!! you need an aerial picture of jumeirah lake towers for example, at least you can clearly see the plots there but in dubai marina it will be difficult to locate the exact plots!!! but if anyone has an idea, i would love to help out as much as i can!
