Candles in the wind





TVS design a dramatic cluster of architectural and engineering innovation

The dramatic 'Dubai Towers - Dubai' have been announced as the centerpiece for 'The Lagoons' development. Both the towers and the master planned development were designed by TVS. The four towers, ranging from 54 to 97 floors, are clustered to form a choreographed sculpture, representing the movement of candlelight. The Towers will combine in form to represent the evolutionary and innovative achievements of Dubai. The architectural expressions are guided by a sophisticated aesthetic with structural and engineering innovations unmatched by any modern structure. The ‘Dubai Towers - Dubai’ will be characterized by a range of additional facilities including retail, entertainment, and residential which merge to create a vibrant, dynamic community. The estimated completion date is mid 2010.

Personal Opinion : Whatever Dubai wants, she'll get it in a snap. No doubt.

Dubai will be like a high class Vegas-like place with these funkadelic type of buildings. Check out for more proposed projects there. (All very stylized designer buildings)

I read once that apparently the emphasis of Dubai's future is leaning toward tourism, coinciding with the depletion of oil in the coming future.
