iPad Tower [arch in Dubai is crazy part un]
MY NINJA PLEASE!!!! This $*%# is ridiculous for more reasons than I have time to write about. First off…the project is real [apparently], and will begin construction in Dubai [what, you hadn’t guessed that already?] sometime this year.
The 23-storey building, which is scheduled to bring more than 200 units onto the market in 2009, was designed by Hong Kong-based architects James Law Cybertecture International.
The tower will sit atop a docking station angled at six degrees to give the exact look [from Gulf News].
