ABOUT DUBAI

'dubai towers' is the centerpiece for the large 'lagoons' development. the buildings and the development were all conceived of by TVS.

'dubai grand pyramid' obviously derives its form from the egyptian pyramids, with a modern twist.

'opus' is another dubai building designed by british architect zaha hadid. the 235 million GBP development was designed for the business bay for omniyat properties.


'synergy' is another building designed by india's sanjay puri for dubai's business bay area. the 20-storybuilding was designed to appear like a stack of cubes that were fluidly merged.



dubai city is located on the united arab emeritus on the persian gulf. the current ruler is mohammed bin rashid al maktoum, who is also the prime minister and vice president of the united arab emirates. the city has a population of 1.6 million people and a 37 billion USD economy based largely on trade, manufacturing and financial services. contrary to popular belief petrol and natural gas only make up a small percentage of revenues.
the city has gained world-wide attention in the past few years because of its booming economy and ambitious architectural projects. with a focus on business and tourism, the city is ramping up construction on an unprecedented level. in fact, dubai is said to be home to 15% to 25% of the world's 125,000 construction cranes. don't think that the architectural expansion is over, because a slew of new project are on the table and in the works as we speak.
