Sweet! I love skyscrapers. Funny thing, I had the 10 wonders link bookmarked and never realized it was this blog. Now I remember why I like it so much.
Apparently SOM are the skyscraper specialists. I wrote a short entry on their massive skyscraper project in Dubai, called the Burj Dubai.
This is pretty sweet. It’s nice to know that SOM is still kicking it into high gear with their work and always pushing the envelope. I wish there were more groups like this in other industries.
Apparently SOM are the guys to go to if you need a skyscraper! They’ve got another massive project in Dubai called the Burj Dubai.
Anyone know if these skyscrapers are commercial or residential developments? This could be some amazing real estate, only i dont know how the view is with china’s pollution problem. Anyhow, they are some great looking buildings, great architecture.
