The City of Dubai

While surfing the internet, I came across an article on the city of Dubai, which is located on the northern tip of the united arab emeritus. Over the past few years, the city has become very well known for its booming economy and very ambitious architecture. The burj khalifa, which is now the tallest structure in the world, was completed in January of 2011. The skyscraper is very ambitious in its design and turned out to be very successful.

A very interesting design for a resort called "the cloud" was being considered a couple of years ago, but has yet to have been built. This resort was planned to be 300m high in the air supported by slanting legs that resemble rain.
