Hideously tacky.

Looks like downsized and rectangularized Burj Dubai

WTF? It looks nothing even remotely like the Burj Khalifa.

As for me, I quite like it. I have a soft spot for pseudo-neo-classic designs, especially when it's going to be so very lofty.

This thing is just so awful. I hate it.

I wasn't sure at first what to make of this building but after giving it some time to sink in , actually , I rather like it. I see a touch of the Willis Tower in the massing but more like an updated version of it with a touch of artistry at the top.

I love this design. Glass and steel is great, but it`s not all there is.

I watched a 1970s sci-fi movie that had a "Space-Arab" city with a matte painting of buildings like that.

Someone has uploaded a drawing today, but it won´t be displayed in the standard diagrams??? I´m confused. The drawing is approved but not displayed...

Anders Franzén · #49 Posted **Apr 1, 2010, 7:44 AM**

I haven't heard of this tower before today, April 1st, so I'll believe it's a joke until I see if it's still here tomorrow.

As for the design , can't say I like it but at least it's not a bland glass box. Are the Arabs developing their own regional skyscraper style?

youngregina · #50 Posted **Apr 1, 2010, 10:50 AM**

I actually think it looks like a smaller and boxy version of the burj khalifa.

shakman · #51 Posted **Apr 1, 2010, 1:27 PM**

Not bad. Just wait until the finish product is up. It may appease to more of you.

The North One · #52 Posted **Apr 1, 2010, 3:49 PM**

MolsonExport · #53 Posted **Apr 1, 2010, 4:15 PM**

Larger than life and twice as ugly.

...to ugly that's the reason.

No, joke. Don't know. I'm afraid that they have financial problems. It's the second 500+m tower in Doha where construction has been suspended in the last year.
