Dubai Sun Tower
I thought it would be interesting to take a look at some of the new developments on the horizon for Dubai. As a result, I am taking the next few weeks to focus on the future architecture of Dubai. Some of the most interesting projects, if you can believe it, haven't even been completed yet!
Today's feature is the Sun Tower, designed by US-based architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The building is planned for the Dubai Waterfront and makes energy efficiency a "top priority for the design" in order to deal with the huge amount of sunlight and heat the building will absorb.

I like it!
One of the better designs, that's for sure.
that SOM.. what will they design next?
Getting off topic but not really.. The Bahrain World Trade Center (designed by UK architects Atkins) is "the first time anywhere in the world that a commercial development has integrated large-scale wind turbines within its design to harness the power of the wind to generate an alternative energy supply."
It is nice to see more interesting building designs make their way to this part of the world.
