In Dubai, This Sort of Thing Is Completely Normal


NYTimes.com article about Rem Koolhaas' plan to build a slice of lower manhattan on a man made island off the Dubai coast. Amazing. 1.5 BILLION square feet of development. A 44-story spherical tower... and it's not even remotely the most ambitious development in the city. Seriously, I woke up this morning in a house built on a frond of the world's biggest palm tree. On the way in form the airport, we passed the world's tallest building. And I'm shooting for the skiing trifecta of water, snow and sand before the weekend is over. I have no idea how I feel about all this yet.
