It looks like Rem Koolhaas is having a flashback to 1976. Take a look at OMA's latest project.

Also notice the iPod directly behind the "death star."

Good catch. I didn't see that. Looks like an airport terminal, especially with those long approach roads.
Unfortunately, Dubai has blown its chance to be a new city. It's repeating all the same mistakes the old cities made in terms of urban planning. It will choke itself with its success. |

So you don't think that they can save themselves at this point? The way money is thrown around there, anything is theoretically possible.

If they're saved, it won't be voluntary. There would have to be some catastrophe, natural or otherwise, to snap them to their senses.
