DUBAI | SZR Supertalls | >300 M
 

Based on the marina supertalls thread I decided to make this new one so I that can lump some more towers together instead of creating loads of threads. Sure some of these designs are crap but there are some good ones too.




Emirates Park Towers
77F, 395m, Rising, (~35th floor)

Current Design

Hard Rock Hotel
78F, 379m, Under Design, probably never built though

Lamtara Towers
70+60F, 360+320m, On Hold

Al Yacoub Tower
72F, 330m, Rising (~55th floor), slow work though

Current Design

HHH Tower
72F, 317m, Almost topped out

Current Design

Very nice. I love the first three, although it looks like they recycled the old Russia Tower design for the LamTara Twin Towers

http://www.emporis.com/files/transfe.../02/103271.jpg

Al sharq is a very good one, although the rendering might be deceptive.
Too bad it's only proposed.

Forgot to put in Al Yacoub Tower which was a 330m tower designed to resemble Big Ben. It reached the 4th floor and stopped since the developer was forced to redesign. :)

Also there's a massive project to be built between emirates towers and the trade centre tower. With it comes a tower (right next to SZR) that is to be around 450m tall, but won't start for another few years.

Fabb, "proposed" doesn't mean anything really. It's actually approved, in that there's no problem for the developer to be allowed to build it. It's just that it hasn't started yet and there's no information apart from some models and renders, even though it's been around for a while.

Al Sharq Tower looks very good, I hope they build it!

Not too bad, but that green and gold glass building looks like hell! Like the city of Houston, TX took a dump and that building came out.

green and gold? Which one is that?

^The already built building in a bunch of the pics that looks like it has stacks of coins hanging from it.

how many towers all togeather is there on SZR

That green and gold tower(Al Attar, I think) is seriously nauseating. Possibly the most hideous thing I've seen in Dubai. I really, really don't get some of this stuff.

On the other hand, Rose Rotana I'm quite fond of... just get rid of the 1000 foot advertisement on the side of it.

Sorry Imre,

Can you explain what is happening in those pictures?!?
It looks like something out of a Bond movie. Is this an elaborate machine to lift the (offset) spire and put it on top?

Yeah. WTF is going on? Is this building really a Transformer?

Lol

It's the BMU (Building Maintance Unit)

Emirates park towers (April 19th) by Altin


Random proposal for a massive tower next to Dusit

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1...solt229jx3.jpg

^(massive tower)
The main facade has a some kind of irregular hole near the top.
That's ... weird.

yes..the whole building looks weird. also the "hard rock hotel" looks a bit strange..i wonder how it will look when it's completed.

I think it looks like a guitar... at the top of the tower then.

Great update on the SZR towers, malec. The glass on Al Attar Tower looks pretty funky. Could it be that it's covered with a protective coating, or is that the real color of the glass?

Has Al Attar tower reached the roof level ?

I love the look of the Hard Rock Hotel, although I wish they'd chosen a better name. Somehow the name invokes images of a seedy 2 story motel with neon signs built in the 70's.

Amazing architecture. These buildings are really a model for the post-modern age.

nice
