Monday, April 27, 2009 Ziggurat Dubai - the pyramid of the future
Ziggurat Dubai has been touted as many things, from a new age pyramid in desert, to a monstrosity that will fail. Since it was launched at last year's Cityscape, not much has been heard about this audacious project which falls under the same umbrella as Masdar. It is an enormous project planned at 2.3km square, so it's not one that will form at the side of the Sheikh Zayed road over night. Indeed, this will be a project for 2020. If it ever does get fulfilled, it could house and sustain 1m people. Yes you read that right. 1 million people.   How do you even fathom something of this magnitude. YOu will already have seen the videos of engineering work and the like being undertaken on Masdar, but this kind of pyramid makes you think of black and white films and Ben Hur and the like.    Forget history - there are even some overlaps with the thoughts of the Matrix trilogy.        It's future fiction becoming future perfect!
