My Bad: Eco-Dubai

In an earlier posts I put down the growth in Dubai because of the unsustainability of the development. But recently I have come across some very interesting projects that use Dubai's abundant natural resources (mainly sunlight and wind).

Check this out. A very interesting project that incorporates solar panels and wind turbines. What's equally interesting is that there was concern for incorporating social spaces and using the design to reference middle eastern Islamic architecture and geometric patterns.
