nomcat if you actually read my post you'll notice that i said that Dubai still needed a long way to go. i was referring to this and a few other things.
please feel free to start a thread to discuss in politics or GD if you wish, but not in photography. i have no issues.
charl - i didnt work on The Burj - its tough trying to get in there. we did a lot of work around it, so i dont know what the finishes are like just yet. ill let you know once i go to the observation deck and level 120!
but you're right, its not a beautiful masterpiece of a building. but when they started building they didn know exactly how high they could go, so it was always a WIP with a concept and goal.
The stepped design is obviously the wide base it needs to stop it from overturning due to the live forces at 800m. TFP engineers most welcome to comment.
i should have the pics up sometime today jazz, but a few forces worked against me
1) i lost my Cannon G9 camera. 2) i was a little further out that i'd like to have been due to the traffic jams in the area. 3) i was shooting with she-lish's small cannon camera, so my pics arent as good as i'd like unfortunately
