You hear more and more lately of British people escaping to Dubai, fleeing taxes and starting up home in this lush hot area. Dubai is steadily becoming famous for it's architecture, every building that is being built seems to be topping the last for it's obscure shape, height, width, colour. Everything you see seems to be top modern living.
All i am trying to decide is...is it enough? Would you want to live in a culture that is totally based on high tec fashion, that has no real soul and depth, only pristine living to an almost scary extent. I can't decide if i would love or hate it. Or if i would love it for a week and then miss Englands mistakes, inaccuracies and just general personality.
However, you can't deny the buildings in Dubai are beautifully structured and executed. The bottom picture is the tallest building in world currently standing at 2,257 feet tall and it's offically opening in 2009 so who know's how tall it will be then! The dubai towers (middle picture) are an amazing set of buildings, one being a six star hotel and others offices and spas ranging between 57 and 94 floors. With a lagoon in the middle and a view of the sea you cant argue these buildings are visually stunning and so incredibly well designed, they are also due for completion in 2009. The top picture is Burj Al Arab. A hotel which is situated on a artificial island and connected to mainland by a curving private bridge.
I do love all the architecture seen above, i think i would like to see Dubai in many years, actually completed rather than in constant work, then create my opinion.

I love the buildings in Dubaii. They are modern and really fit in with the landscape of the place. Dubaii is deffinitely a place i would love to visit as i dont think there is any other place on earth which holds such beautifully designed buildings as these.
