1. This building is the signature towers in dubai. They were designed by Zaha Hadid and are 75,65, and 55 stories high. I like how they are bent out and look like they are defying gravity. they are a very shiny metal that make it look like mirrors.
2. This is the 0-14 building. It's 23 stories tall. I think the circles make it look very organic. It reminds be of a bee-comb. It looks much taller then it is. It won't be completed until 2009 and i'm very excited to see it completed.
3. Can we say awesome!!! This is the dynamic architecture tower designed by David Fisher. It will be 68 stories tall and completed in 2010. I love the spin at the bottom. It makes it look interesting, yet at the same time gives the building a sense of movement. It's in a dark brown, reflective color which makes it stand out. It all gives it a natural look, like a giant red wood tree.
4. This is Burj Dubai designed by SOM, and it's a monster. This is the tallest building in the world at a towering 160+ stories. I like how portions of the tower break off and stop short. It starts with a huge base and ends in a small needle point. It gives it a mountain like look with it's jagged plateaus along it's structure.
5. This Al Sharq and is 100 stories tall. It looks very industrial and fragile. There are 9 huge tubes seamlessly put together. It looks as if it should be very small because it's made of just tiny tubes connected. The tubes are broken up in layers, which makes it's distance look very long. there is shiny metal at the very top, which would make it stand out.
6. This is the Burj Al Alam. It starts with a wide base and curves in to form a slender" waist." this makes it slightly resemble a stretched out human torso. It ends with jagged, petal like shapes at the very top. this adds and unexpected twist to the building, like a surprise at the very end. This building will be 108 stories and completed in 2010.
7. This building is amazing! It is the Dubai Towers and will be completed in 2010. The first time I saw these I couldn't believe this was going to be a real building. These curving structure defy everything I can imagine about design. I think this is the most unique building i've ever seen. I would travel all the way to dubai just to see this building. It has a goldish color to it that give a sense of fire to it.
8. This is the Time Residence and s 30 stories tall. this is a very elegant building, and added to that elegance is the shiny black windows that cover the entire building. It looks like a cylinder being unfolded into a flat plane. It looks very unstable at the top, but that adds to its appeal. The curve at the top is very pleasing to the eye. This building would be neat to look at no matter which angle you were at.
9. This is Bayswater and is 25 stories tall. At first this building looked kind of clunky and stable. Now when i look at it, it looks like two pillars leaning against each other. The leaning gives it a tension. It looks like what a building would look like after an earthquake.
10. This is Pentonium and is 120 stories tall. It has small triangular jut outs that are on the middle of the building. It looks like waves rippling through the buildings. The blue color of it give it a classy look. This building would look very cool at night with all the lights on inside of it.
All these buildings are the buildings of the future. They will be in Dubai. I chose these ten because they were all very unique.
