Dubai? Any cutting edges going on?

Gotan

Hi,
Got told I have 2 be there in 2 weeks..

I am looking at what is going in Dubai.

Like or hate it; it's is own chapter in post-post-modern architecture history.

any ressources on development, sustainable features in effects there?

new urbanism?

cheers!

an architect friend of mine has been traveling to the uae pretty often over the last year or so. things change quickly, it's such a dynamic environment. my sense from her is that you won't get a sense of 'what's going on' until you're there seeing for yourself. development moves very quickly, but then some things that are announced with a lot of fanfare disappear even more quickly.

i kind of agree, dubai is fast growing place, and much easier to go there and sense what it is about ... you will use the taxi a lot, if you don't have a car, since they don't have public transport systems yet

I'll be going there in mid may. I love construction, so I'm looking very forward to it.

They actually have plans to develop a high speed train system there. They want to make the city all futuristic in a cheesy 70s interpretive way.
