World's Largest LED Project: Come On, Guys
The United Arab Emirates aren't booming like they used to, which is worrying. Judging from the latest, though, the UAE was only about three major architectural undertakings away from building an actual giant penis, so maybe it's for the best. More »Bird's Eye View of Some Fast Birds
The GeoEye-1 satellite snapped a picture of the Dubai Airshow and we can see all the pilots' pretty planes, lined up and waiting to zip-zip-zoom through the sky. Anyone wanna play Guess the Aircraft? [PopSci]World's Tallest, Most Expensive Fountain In Sparkling Action
As you would expect, the world's tallest fountain is in Dubai. As you would expect, it's next to the world's tallest building. And as you would expect, it's as naff as everything else in there. More »Dubai's Technosphere Concept Would Fit Right Into a Disney Park
I think they ran out of weird building designs, because the centerpiece of Dubai's Technopark looks like it was copied from Epcot's Spaceship Earth. Whatever happened to architecture proposals for Dubai being completely nuts? More »Tarzan's Making His Reservations At This Frame Hotel
Finding a room service guy who doesn't even blink if you're running around in a loin cloth (or less) shouldn't be tough in this Dubai hotel. The place already almost looks like a jungle on the inside. More »Dubai's Vertical Village Might Suck Up All Of the Sun's Rays
Despite grumbling about economic woes taking a toll on Dubai construction projects, it seems that their Vertical Village is going full steam ahead. The question is, after it's built, will there be any sun for the rest of us? More »This Is What the Burj Dubai Would Look Like in Midtown Manhattan
What would the Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building, look like if it was in NYC? It would look something like this. Holy shit, this thing is huge. And here's some more perspective for you: More »Cleaning the Tallest Building In the World Requires High Pressure Water Guns and Balls
Things in Dubai get dirty pretty fast thanks to the desert. But how the heck do you clean the 2,683-foot Burj Dubai? What about a window-cleaning SWAT team rappelling down its surface with high pressure water guns. [Thanks Gerard]Travel Through Dubai at 818mph
After the futuristic Dubai, here is the real Dubai as seen in high-speed from its new metro, inaugurated on September 9. Impressive, in a New York and Miami get drunk and have a bastard child kind of way. [Thanks Gerald]How Would Dubai Look In the Future?
Ah Dubai, you and your glittery airports and your insane skyscrapers and your Death Star islands. If you don't fall into the desert first, this is how you may look in the future. More »What Lies In The Shadow Of The Statue? Dubai, Of Course!
OK. Sorry for the geeked out LOST reference. Couldn't help it. But seriously, Dubai is planning to build this huge, talking statue for the Zaabeel Park. And I think there's a discotheque in the head. More »British Airways' Last Concorde May Become Dubai Novelty
It's like those sci-fi rich guys who collect everything including somebody's frozen head, only it's real: Dubai collectors—possibly the same ones turning the QE2 ocean liner into a hotel—are trying to buy BA's last Concorde. More »The World's Largest Luxury Yacht Sails Out Of...You Guessed It...Dubai
Even though poor Dubai has been far from immune from Depression 2.0, someone who's still doing just fine is Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Emir of Dubai. This is his new $350 million yacht. More »Even Illustrious Dubai Is Suffering a Devastating Real Estate Crash
With the world in financial peril, it seemed like Dubai, home of 200 new skyscrapers built in the last five years, could have enough hype to be immune. But such is not the case. More »Dubai Hotelier Hasn't Heard of Flip-Flops, Plans to Refrigerate Entire Beach
There's nothing like a good bit of Dubai excess, but this just isn't impressive enough to justify the profligacy: the Palazzo Versace hotel is building a beach with refrigerated sand. More »Two Guys Jumped Off the Burj Dubai and Lived to Tell About It
BuildingPorn: The Dubai Skyline-in-Progress
The Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world, is at 160 stories and counting, with the tower due to be complete next September. But it's not the only tower under construction in Dubai, not by a longshot. No, the city appears to be sprouting up from the ground like a bunch of weeds, with as many cranes as buildings. And now, The Big Picture has nearly 30 amazing shots of the city in transition. Hit the jump for another of my favorites and then head over to The Big Picture for the rest.
