Dubai - an architect's dream

I found a website today that I think will help everybody see just how much Dubai has grown since 1990, when the UAE stopped focusing on oil income for their country and started their march toward Total Tourist Domination! There is no doubt in my mind why every architect I've talked to says that Dubai is THE city to build in.

Some of those cityscapes remind me of Blade Runner... Cool and scary how fast that is happening.

Wow. And really, I have no desire to go to the top of those buildings. Seems that a slight breeze would make the thing sway a few feet! It definitely will be amazing to see!!!
