Dubai Architecture: A Photo Gallery

"DUBAI IS NUTS!!!"
A page on dubai-architecture.info

For the record, I don't agree with the title, or one possible interpretation of the the mildly-vulgar statements at the end of this page.

However, this collection of photographs and renderings is spectacular - from

"The UAE Spaceport would be the first spaceport in the world if construction ever gets under way. I'm not joking... "

This page is mostly a gallery of photos and renderings of Dubai's architecture.

In my opinion, if you want to know what the 22nd century will look like, visit this page.

About Dubai's Spaceport

Based on Dubai's established record for outstanding and innovative architecture, I don't doubt that Dubai's spaceport will be spectacular.

But it isn't the first.

There's a commercial spaceport in use now. The passenger terminal hasn't been built yet, and the only in-use launch facility is a 20-by-100 foot concrete pad, but Spaceport America is up and running. That's a subject for another post: "Spaceport America: It's Real, and Open for Business " (October 25, 2008).
