Sky Tower on the left
Sun Tower (not a supertall) on the right

The four buildings with the connected rooftop is a blatant ripoff of one under construction in Singapore right now.

^^ Actually it might be the opposite. This project was announced back in 2005.
I think it's probably a coincidence since both projects were probably under design at the same time at some stage

It's supposed to look like Stonehenge.

Aargh, that's ugly! :yuck:

It looks like it´s built with LEGO. :haha:

I never really did like this project.

Now that somebody opened the door : I have to agree.

interesting project. thanks for the post.

The little sister of Dubai finally has its sleeves up :)

That is a strange design for sure.
I am quite shocket that such a huge project as this can't
produce any better 3D renderings than these.
It's impossible to get a fair impression of the project.

Wow!!!! :tup:

WOWZERS. I really, REALLY like this project :D:D

while some might like Architonica, I find their work to be nothing but kitschy crap.

I think it was Looney Tunes, but when I was a kid I remember a cartoon where they always threatened to send people to Abu Dhabi as like banishment from civilization. And now it's getting a supertall. Strange how things change.

Is it 1243 ft to the roof or to the tip of that spire?

It's the tip I presume.

Looney Toons!
 

Yeah I remember those. They also used Timbuktu that way.:jester:
