What fun the skyscraper architects must be having with the oil money in Dubai. It seems that if it can be imagined, it will be funded and built. The latest wild skyscraper is Anara, which will be 125 floors high and have multiple uses, including offices, hotel, apartments, galleries, and shopping. The building will only have one apartment that was built for the sole purpose of being dubbed the most expensive in Dubai.
British firm Atkins, who are erecting many structures in Dubai, are responsible for the Great Exhaust Fan of Dubai.
