It great to see Dubai putting up more inovate designs, these newest towers have a lot of potential.
This rendering has gone way overboard though....
I mean come on, look at the clouds way down there. Are these people at 25,000 feet? I'd expect to see some oxygen masks out on that balcony.
The design is amazing though. Exterior cables have never been used to transfer loads loads on any building of this height. Its typically a low-rise or just a portion of a high-rise that will see a cable structure, but here the whole tower will be wrapped in them. I wonder though if this is just for athestics, with the floors cantilevering out from the core, or if these cables really are indeed taking on a load.
