Don’t mistake by counting it as any ordinary architectural magnum opus as it is more than that. Spread over 1.5 billion sq ft, this ecological masterpiece dubbed as waterfront city designed by Rem Koolhaas is a self-contained city positioned over a simulated island that blends stimulations from 19-century mosques to Koolhaas’s own ideas about the THX 1138-esque basic city.

The striking views of this ecological marvel are quite futuristic. It is no less than a self-sustained city. It is being said that the island will be separated into 25 indistinguishable wedges that will be occupied by a blend of tall and squat towers interspersed by incredible structures viz. an escalating 82-story tower, 44-story sphere that will serve as mini-city within a mini-city equipped with an extensive arrangement of escalator pipes.

To give an earthy feel to the edifice, it will be populated with customary parks and its very evolvement assures that Dubai is all set to leave the world behind within no time. Till date, Dubai has continually startled the world with the marvelous buildings that it has dished out over a period of time. In terms of green architecture, the nation is heading faster than any other city globally. Dive into the project and enjoy the feel of being green.
