Above, the view of the Burj Dubai over the skyline, recently passing over the height of the tallest man-made structure in the world, the CN Tower, which held the record since 1976. The Burj Dubai continues to stretch higher, making it the tallest man made structure ever attempted to create. You can also look at the other buildings around it, meaning new large structures will soon attempt to create an ancient city into a modern wonder.
Burj Dubai brings a lot of commerce to parts of the city, having been re-illustrated. At first nobody knew about the tropical wonder of Dubai. It makes me wonder why so many commercial industries made it here. Unfortunately, big cities lie on coastal areas. It's not bad, because it's beautifully tempting. But in the future, there will be flooding. Millions of people will live in these areas, cramming the coast. Once Antartica melts, the whole project is done for. It's a thing to think about. There's always a price to pay. For instance, there must be a trapdoor in a land of promises.
Burj Dubai is amazing. It's design, construction, enough said. Also, recently, Dubai surpassed the height of Taipei 101. I don't like the architecture of Taipei 101. I definitely like the damper idea, but the outside looks like... I can't explain. All I can say about it however is that you can't try to fit too much traditional work into a modern piece. The definition of modern is something futuristic. Futuristic means something not like anything else. Something that is conspicous to our world is futuristic. So far, I like the Burj Dubai the best.
I put down my trust in the Freedom Tower because they changed the design. I totally liked the previous one. The new design looks to much like a rectangular prism. All buildings are like rectangular prisms right? As I said earlier, something that is conspicous to our world is futuristic, so we have to take one step forward and think of something new.
