Description
In little more than a few decades Dubai has grown from a desert backwater to one of the world centres of new construction. This book examines 38 recent developments in the emirate, including the signature projects of Burj Al Arab, currently the world's largest luxury hotel, and Hydropolis, the artificially created island that looks like a set from 'Dr Who'. Dubai presents a kind of preview of the ultramodern - a trend that is also reflected in the design of various restaurants, hotels and label stores. Plenty of projects from RMJM, KCA International Designers and Wilson & Associates in particular.
