there are a few things I really need to say about this skyscraper:
1. First of all: This design is really really awesome! 2. It reminds me a little bit of the Dubai Towers Dubai 3, A 400 meter spire for energy production and solar panels on the towers facade, the first really green building in Dubai! definitely the wright way! 4. I still can't believe they are really able to construct that high, I mean it is three times the Burj Dubai and also what is the air like in 2 kilometres height? Is it possible to work there as it would be 500 metres? IÄm also not vey sure about the structure, for me it looks like it would be a building, mainly built out of steel, so it could swing a lot at the top when they don#t include something like a mass damper or what they have at taipei101. Also what is about transportation? how would you bring steel colums up 2000 metres? by helicopter? and if so, wouldn't the costs for that be ridicoulos? 5. For me this vision looks more real than a lot of other ones that we have seen so far just like Sky Tower in Tokio or that 1 mile building somewhere in the USA. And at the moment Dubai is the only city in the world that really has the ego to build such a tower and if Sheikh Mohammed gives a few billion for that project I can really see this one going ahead, at least a little bit smaller. 6. From what is mentioned in the photos it is aimed to be built with water around it. What if this is already much more than only a vision? We have a few new projects that all have big enough water areas within the development and where we still don't have any detailed plans, towers or stuff like that. What if this is planned for projects like The Universe, Mohammed bin rashid Gardens, Jumeirah Hills or that other stuff around Burj al Arab. It could look awesome somewhere in jumeirah Hills only a few meters away from the Tameer tower at Hard Rock Hotel... Just a few things I thought about.

I am only going to be impressed if and when it's going to be a serious proposal. Until then, they can envision all they want.

Errr, it would cost around AED 10-15 Billion to build this. First of all, i'm not sure if this level of engineering is even feasible and second and most importantly, this just cannot be PROFITABLE!
Logic aside, build it please!!! |

i dont know if it sounds crazy , but i think they spent alot for this vision to be made to scare any other countries from building higher than burj dubai in the coming few years . like the "mile tower" in jeddah
just a thought

If they can build a 700 - 800 meters version of this it will be great.
Who envisioned this anyway?

The base is ugly but i like how it twists. A project like this can solve any kind of population problems in every city.

I bought an apartment in this tower on floor 299 but unfortunately there are rumours that my view will be blocked by the 500 storey Marina Sky Towers II...!!!
