Global Development Justin Petersen - Arch 1701
7 stars for Dubai -Nicknamed “The Funnel” (to the left). -This Building is the design of Architects from Sybarite. -Will house a two story tropical butterfly jungle. -The Burj Al Arab (right). -Cost is between $1500 & $4500 per night. -Has a fleet of Rolls Royce's for transportation around the city.
Morphing Tower -The idea resembles the rotating restaurant atop the Hyatt Embarcadero in San Francisco. -Architect David Fisher promises that the residence won’t get sick. For it takes 90 minutes to make one full revolution around the tower. -The design is quite simple, says Fisher. It’s a concrete silo with donuts that will spin around the outside. -Although the firm will not disclose the secrets as to how they tend to deal with pluming and sewage. -They do say that the electrical will be similar idea of a third rail on a subway car. That there will be constant contact with the circuit. Source: http://planetapex.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
