wave tower in dubai



madrid's a-cero architects led by joaquin torres has designed a new tower for the city of dubai. 'the wave tower'
is a high-rise proposed to be installed on the city's waterfront, the first skyscraper to do so. the tall tower,
which appears to float in the sea, is connected to land by a gently curved bridge which mimics the waves of
the gulf sea. the building is under development and will be in the madiant al arab district. it will stand at 370
meters and have 92 floors wrapped in a double skin glass facade.

i agreee with poster madmax, all designs only potrtray a hopeless over the top quality. like buildings of old being built on over the dead (34 tallied in dubai in 2005).

must admit the dynamic phalic devices provide rich analyst material though gotta be fair.....haha
