'Lord' Foster to design towers in Hyderabad
Added: (Fri Jan 25 2008)
World-renowned architect Norman Foster will build the 100-storeyed tower of the Anil Dirubhai Ambani group and an iconic tower in the proposed IT park of BPTP in Hyderabad. These are the first projects in India to be undertaken by ‘Lord' Foster, who restored the Reichstag in Berlin and built the Millennium Bridge in London.

I would finish todays updates by posting these pics of the APIIC 's 100 storey tower site...Today I traveled 100 Km to get all the updates on the projects...

Of all the sites that ive seen...I believe this is the best...I could see the Hitech city on one side and the Lanco Hills though only some portion on the other..and to my back I can travel straight to the new jazzy airport...

I Agree. Great job man!

Finally there is some movement on site!

Hindustani · March 8th, 2008, 07:36 PM

dont hold your breath. they have not even started digging yet. No renderings out yet either. Relience totally suck at this point. had this been a GMR project, they would have been on 30th floor by now.

wtf, whose genius idea was it to build a 100 storey tower 200 million miles away from civilization? imagine how stupid it's going to look to have one of india's tallest towers sitting there in the middle of nowhere with nothing around it but forest and villages...

maybe if they develop this area into a huge downtown it'd be like dubai or the gandhinagar project, but otherwise it's just going to be stupid.

lol. that is fair enough, but we gotta appreciate that this is being built near the ORR, and until the work on the ORR steps up a little faster it wud be silly to start constructing these towers, coz it'll just end up being a white elephant in the middle of nowhere. im sure the sales of the offices will help finance the project as it goes along, but one of the major selling points must be to emphasise its connectivity.....to be honest i got a little faith in Reliance, i think its Sobha developers we should be worried about.

This project is a part of a designed cbd where the surrounding land will be auctioned..And by the time this tower will be complete in 3-4 years time, the surrounding areas will be a huge construction zone

In 3 to 4 years???? Well the way the project is shaping up it may take more than a decade to complete.

Its only for the sake of connectivity to the scraper, APIIC officials toyed with the idea of setting up near the ORR and out of city. Also they wanted "all the foreign travelers to see and appreciate the magnificent structures" from their aeroplanes while landing at shamshabad as per APIIC's chief acharya in his video interview earlier.

Alright, here's the deal. 100 storey is not just a single development. It is coming up in one more CBD along the ORR. You can refer the earlier posts for details of the APIIC project. Acharya announced in his video interview that once completed the CBD would look like "NYC's Manhattan" or Mumbai's Nariman point. so you do not have to worry that its an isolated development. They are only testing the patience of eager skyscraper fans like you and me.

i-Design · March 11th, 2008, 08:12 PM

Most highrises take a few years of development before construction and development notices are issued to the public.
Reliance and Sobha aren't the best companies to handle such projects they lack capability.
I even doubt that norman foster has even visited the site yet, since the media would definitely crab his attention if he did visit India.

My advice is wait for a year or so.

I hope that Reliance and Sobha look for creating history rather than make this project into some bogus cheap government contract.

BPTP should convert their IT park into the La Defense of asia.

Norman Foster can change the face of hyderabad is he is given the freedom to create!!!!!!!

Hindustani · March 11th, 2008, 08:20 PM

Its been 1.5 yrs already & no real news or renderings whatsoever. At this point, hell with Foster & ask Relience to Grab Hafeez Contractor by his balls & beg him to re-name NOIDA TOWER to APIIC TOWER & get it u/c ASAP. I doubt Foster can design any better than Hafeez's NOIDA TOWER design which is sitting in his "unapproved" projects desk collecting dust.

I hope Norman Foster takes personal interest he did design some amazing stuff.

I am skeptical of both the towers ie APIIC TOWER as well as LANCO signature tower coming up.Ultimately the projects will be abandoned on the grounds of viability if not feasablity.

i-Design · March 12th, 2008, 01:20 PM

Hindustani,
Hafeez Contractor is not a good architect.
Noida Tower is shit... if it were to be built it would make india look so bad. Most foreign architects would laugh at us for considering hafeez contractor is the greatest architect in modern india.

vagroup and morphogenesis are good not hafeez.

Why don't you look up norman foster's website and see what he has designed!!!!!!!

Look at vagroup or morhogenesis they are way better than hafeez.

hafeez could not even give a proper plan for nariman point and his mumbai airport is bad compared to SOM's proposed design.

Grow up and appreciate the art of design.

By the way hafeez selected Norman Foster as the architect for the APIIC Tower!!!!

i-Design · March 12th, 2008, 01:28 PM

Go look at his World Trade Center in new york
that building is a 78 storey office.

Grow up.......

What an illiterate you are. Well. its time to educate you. Foster's supertall designs have FAILED to be 'ICONIC". His WTC towers designs have been criticized to nth degree by NYC print & electronic media & public as well for lack of foresight & reflection. Just because an architect can design flat megaprojects (new beijing airport T3) to perfection DOES NOT mean he can design vertical supertall to ICONIC status. The best supertall in US is the Chicago Spire u/c by architect Santiago Calatrava & thank got Foster's unimaginative brain is kept away from it.

Now. to educate you further. Hafeez's ICONIC Noida Tower design vs Foster's vertical Easter Egg design from London.

..VS...

Hafeez's vision for Noida Tower is class apart & reflective of not just delhi but India. A tower starts off like Qutub Minar & ends up being like several peaks of towering Himalayas was ICONIC enough.

Just because someone is KNIGHTED with "LORD"ship doesn't mean he is the best in the world. You are no longer in British Raj so no need to believe that Taj Mahal is the greatest architecture wonder of BRITISH EMPIRE territory.

You are an azaad Indian & start believeing in yourself & stop running after white man to design you a supertall. You dont need to believe LORD Foster will design you another Taj Mahal. Its time you start giving credit to some of your own who have vision enormous enough but frequently let down by lack of political will & vision.

Now you have 'grown up' as you put it & thoroughly educated.

shivy · March 12th, 2008, 08:08 PM

umm actually i like the egg shaped tower a whole lot more. I just don't find Hafeez contractors designs any good. Im pretty sure they made a few good things, but I dont like their designs. India needs a really cool tower like Taipei 101. Its beautiful and incorporates chinese culture. The noida tower is just...well I don't like it, but thats just my opinion.
