DUBAI | Four Season Hotel | ? HEIGHT | ? FLOORS | NEVER BUILT
The new design of FOUR SEASONS Hotel in Dubai Festival City has been unveiled.
It went from this 320 meter tower:
to this:
A SSC forum member was involved on the design of the first one, but he mooved to a different job so we have no info on the second design, however it is obviously much shorter.
this seems like something that would happen in New York City, not Dubai. There are several buildings in Dubai which I do not like, yet that first design of the FOUR SEASONS was actually really really awesome. They should build it in America now.
the second one seems too high tech-ish to be a hotel its nice though just make it a microsoft office building or apple or any high tech computer thingy company
The first design was spectacular. I think the second is a real letdown and it's so completely different. Often times these redesigns just try to improve and refine the original but for some reason they just dropped the whole idea.

I like the second one better. I am glad they traded height for height's sake and went with something more innovative like China's TV building. I wonder how that clear part at the top will be executed.

Renderings will often add flares and whisps of light where the final structure will not contain such things. I hope thats not the case in this circumstance.

Wow, I feel silly. I like this tower now.

The effect of the white foggy area completing the box as shown in the rendering will obviously never be accomplished in real life. So, it would at least look a little better if the planes of cutout sections on each tower were parallel.
