I don’t know what it is with me and tall buildings. But this one especially amazes me. There is no name yet for this city-in-a-skyscraper. But what we do know is that it is going to be approximately 8184 Ft tall (2447 Meters!!) and it will be built in Dubai - Jumeirah City. This city-in-a-skyscraper will consume 37,000 megawatts per hour per year, with a 15MWH peak usage, but as the plans show, it has been designed to generate most of it using wind, thermal, and solar power. It has the environment in mind.
Dubai’s current architectural marvel the 3,280 feet-high 200-floor Nakheel Tower (still under construction) is nothing compared to this! The building is so tall that its main elevator is in fact a vertical 125mph bullet train. Personally I do think it looks breathtaking. Everything cool is being built in Dubai at the moment. I need to save up so I can go there for a holiday~
