HAHA, the name is 'the skyscraper'

Excellent design I must say, I didn't expect to see another project in Dubai considering many other projects being effected by the global inferno of economy.

luci203 · January 8th, 2009, 03:28 PM

~300m for "The Skyscraper"

sound just like that ~200m "Mega Tower" from Hong Kong.

Anberlin · January 8th, 2009, 03:31 PM

Awesome design

This is a quiete old project but it was on hold for ages. Now it seems that another contractor was found and they started with pilling.

The name is a bit dumb. But the design is awesome

wtf it looks so over 330m in the first render it looks more like 450-500m tall rather than 330m tall.

also it should 500m+ for the building to be named the skyscraper. but great design. they should supersize it to be 500m+

Compared to its surroundings, this building almost seems . . . normal! Certainly an interesting design for Dubai. Kinda reminds me of an exhaust tip on a car.

Densetsu · January 11th, 2009, 11:08 AM

I hope this one will get real. In addition, it needs a new name.

BlackSmith! · January 11th, 2009, 12:07 PM

If there is "The Tower" in Dubai, why not having also "The Skyscraper"

It looks good... but it also has the most unoriginal name I've ever seen for a tower... ''The Skyscraper''

I wonder whose the genius who thought about that

CULWULLA · March 11th, 2009, 05:38 AM

nice. love the shape. captain obvious!

AvanGard · March 11th, 2009, 12:09 PM

"The Skyscraper"... now thats a name

I guess its better than "A Skyscraper" or just "Building". Are all the cool names taken already?

How does it translate in Arabic?

***skyperu34*** · March 19th, 2009, 08:00 PM

Piling in full swing here but for some reason Al Attar on SZR stopped. What a weird company.
