The island then, is it the square block bottom centre of the marina or is the island something else?

the island, in fact there are two of them, is the extended promenade they recently built, which can be seen as white square blocks in the marina map indeed.

nevertheless there are two, on each side of the plot and they are round shaped. weird.

Maybe it won't be an island but a peninsula? That's what it looks like right now. Unless they later seperate it again by a small canal.

That's pretty shit since all we use is imageshack and tinypic.

Anyway I can't think of a really tall, black and twisting tower. Infinity tower twists but is not black and doesn't have a huge spire

hmm it look like iam only one seen the rendring , i will tel you what the artical say
first its two twist tower conected by elevators ,and that elevators can rotat 90* so that mean you can view 360* ,that twist facedes helps to escape from low altitude sun on west and east in higher floors by changing direction to better orientation but the lower floor are not a concern because they are usually shaded by other surrounding buildings .as the megazine says, it have high ticnology that towers faced by skin it called photovoltaic Panel to generate electrical power from sun as a source of renewable energy also there turbines to generate electrical power from wind as a source*of renewable energy .
i forgot to say there samll building may 10F front that two towers and thay surrounded by web.............
and it award the smart design 2006 by the international completion VELUX

you know it now?
