worries me the creepy detail of "walled city" thought we were living in more open days...still this is more like a corporation-city, but is a good step, lets see how succesfull the scheme results, but sounds like an interesting thing, and yeah the renderings r quite nice, was this done at Foster & Partners, or someone else makes their renderings?? (auralab maybe?) they look nice, congrats to whomever did the renderings!
Despite the lurid appeal of the renderings, this Special Free Zone (SPZ) is an elaborate expatriate ghetto. The scheme is considerably more complex than the architecture suggests. Its socio-political underpinnings and motivations deserve far more scrutiny.
