What are Some Construction Projects in Dubai?

"The world's highest height", "the world's largest shopping center", "the world's most luxurious subway", all the magical buildings have risen, and the first frequently created in Dubai has appeared in newspapers. Not only is Dubai not satisfied with this, but it continues to "create myths". However, the dream finally woke up one day, and overnight, Dubai became a city that let the financiers talk. Looking back at the projects that have been completed, are under construction and were originally planned to be built in Dubai, I believe that everyone will have many emotions.

Old town

The old city is located at the foot of the Dubai Tower and contains the world's tallest skyscrapers and the largest shopping malls as well as large-scale residential areas.

Opus Building

"Opus" looks as if it is hovering from the ground. The whole building is composed of three independent buildings, forming an extraordinary whole, and the space gives a sense of distinctiveness. The interior of the building will be inlaid with curved glass walls like curtains, allowing visitors to capture the charming scenery through the empty space. A reflective pattern that gives people a sense of chaos in time and space will be applied to the glass wall. This design provides a certain degree of reflection and presence to the cube, and on the other hand helps reduce sunlight exposure inside the building.
There is a platform similar to the pulpit in "Opus", which is scattered on the first, second and third floors. On the top floor there is a lounge area, a beach terrace (including a swimming pool and a cool balcony), a media area and a gym.

Consists of four buildings of varying heights. From 54th to 97th floors, they are brought together to form a dance-like sculpture image, and the design inspiration comes from the shaking of flames and candlelight.

Three artificial islands form the shape of a palm tree, hence the name Palm Island. The island is home to nearly 500 apartment buildings, 200 villas, 25 hotels and 200 luxury goods stores. Palm Jumeirah is a state-of-the-art island, completed in 2005. Another 125 kilometers of coastline will be constructed artificially.

Dubai Paradise

Space is one of the themes of the development of "Dubai Paradise", and the goal of "Dubai Paradise" is to become the largest tourist park and attraction in the world.

cloud

It's just a concept, so don't expect too much! "Cloud" is an adventure tourist city designed 300 meters above Dubai, supported only by a sloping stand that symbolizes rain. It was designed by Lebanese architect Nadim Kalam. It was built mid-air, in contrast to the total height of skyscrapers scattered throughout the area. This design seems a bit crazy.

Artificial island of the world

The largest man-made island in the world, it adds 232 kilometers of coastline to Dubai. The scheme is designed according to the shape of the world map. The "World" is an artificial archipelago of 300 islands, located 4 miles (approximately 2.5 miles) off the coast of Dubai. Like other artificial island projects, "World" is mainly built with sediment dredged from the seabed and developed by real estate developer Nakheel Properties. It was first proposed by Dubai Chief, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The World is one of several artificial island projects under construction in Dubai. The world islands are the most expensive real estate on the planet, and the price of each island is about 15-50 million US dollars. It was said that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie purchased the Ethiopian islands at the time, but this was not confirmed.

Da Vinci

According to the design, "Da Vinci Tower" (also known as Dynamic Building) is 1027 feet (about 313 meters) and has 68 floors. It is located in Dubai, UAE. This building is expected to be a great architectural initiative for several reasons. First, each floor can rotate independently, which is unique in the world. This will allow the entire building to constantly change shape. Each floor rotates a maximum of 20 feet (about 6 meters) per minute, and it will rotate once in 90 minutes.
Secondly, "Da Vinci Tower" will also be the world's first prefabricated skyscraper. 90% of the building will be completed in the same factory and then shipped to the construction site. As a result, the entire building can stand up in just 18 months. The only part of the building that will be completed on site will be the core structure. The benefits of this prefabricated skyscraper are reduced costs, reduced construction staff, and a total cost of 23% lower than a normal skyscraper of the same size. Only 90 workers are busy at the construction site, and the vast majority of workers will stay in the factory, where workers' safety can be more guaranteed.
Third, the entire building's power needs will be provided by turbines and solar panels. "Da Vinci Tower" can not only achieve self-sufficiency in energy, but also use enough electricity to power five surrounding buildings of the same size. Turbines are installed between two rotating floors, and they will produce 1.2 million watt-hours of energy as the floors move around. Solar panels will be installed on the roof. As planned, Da Vinci Tower will be completed in 2009.

Dubai Arch Bridge

Dubai is building the country's first and largest and highest arch bridge in the world. This bird's eye view is the design of fxfowle, a New York construction company. Construction of the bridge began in March 2008 and is expected to be completed in 2012.

Dubai Mall

The Dubai Mall is a commercial street to be built by Emaar Properties in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This commercial street is part of "Downtown Dubai". Developers claim that when the Dubai Mall is completed, it will become the world's largest commercial street. Construction will begin on August 31, 2008.
The commercial street will cover 12.1 million square feet and consist of 10 to 15 small commercial streets with 9 million square feet of retail space (including a total of 1,200 stores). Attractive aspects of Dubai's commercial streets include: the world's largest gold market; an 850,000-square-foot fashion island; one of the world's largest aquariums; Olympic-sized ice rinks; Oasis fountain waterfall; riverside patio foyer; The tallest building (soon to be completed) Burj Khalifa. This commercial street has won 5 awards.

Dubai World Center International Airport

The Dubai World Center International Airport, located in the heart of Dubai, will be the world's largest passenger and cargo center, larger than both the Dubai International Airport and the Dubai Air Cargo Terminal. The annual cargo volume of Dubai World Center International Airport can reach 12 million tons, which is three times the current largest cargo center Memphis Freight Center. The airport's passenger volume will reach 120 million passengers, which is more than the passenger traffic of the world's busiest Atlanta passenger airport. The amount is nearly 30% more.
Built for the future, Dubai World Center International Airport is designed to fit all next-generation aircraft, including the A380 Airbus. The new airport can guarantee the simultaneous take-off or landing of four large passenger aircraft. In addition, unlike ordinary airports, the runways at the new airport will work 24 hours, minimizing waiting time for waiting in line.
