Wow, this has gone fast, actually we celebrate our 1 year birthday on Friday, and we have no idea what we gonna do to celebrate that online. We need to give you readers something that you deserve but can’t really come up with anything. We do have some stuff up our sleeve but not quite done yet, right now I’m trying to figure out where we wanna be in another year, we know have a nice flow of readers, I mean that I’m very happy for all of you that visit daily or just time to time.

I know that there are times when we don’t update that frequent and we are terrible sorry for that, this is a site that we currently don’t make any money on, and we put in a lot of effort in scanning the web and updating it because of the pure joy of writing and sharing. So there are some natural causes to why we sometimes get less active than others. But in a near future we really hope for some change, not just a new president in the US but maybe a boost in readers and some small amount of money flow into the business so we can afford to take some hours of to deliver even better stuff.

There has always been a thought in the back of our heads of creating something bigger than a blog, something where people can participate and evolve together, thru design and architecture, photography, gadgets, life, people and pure happiness. We are a long way from that but we think that if you all enjoy the site and help us to spread the knowledge about the site there can be some change in a not far distant future. Thank you for making this first year of blogging about everything from Shoe Strings to the Burj Dubai a real pleasure, and we hope that all of you will countinue to read and be inspired and help us to spread the word – We Are Super Famous!

22th September Burj Dubai Madness

Posted on by

Thursday morning coffee and a marvelous view over the Burj Dubai Scyscraper, The Address. The first time I saw the address was when I went my first year on media education program. I was stoked, i started talking to people about Dubai and all the craziness going on there, but people wouldn’t listen so i gave up. But it seems now that people are more than willing to listen about all madness that goes on down there. So to give you a quick look over the progress, here’s an image from monday noon.

What are your thoughts about the massive building that goes on in Dubai? Just give us your thoughts if you feel like it. Keep track on Burj Dubai, Smell yah later.

Dubai Madness / Waterfront City

Posted on by

It’s now official, Dubai is the worlds craziest playground for architectures. We have had multiple post before with Dubai Art/Architecture, this though takes the grand prize. The new Waterfront City is a city built upon a man made island of 140,000,000 square metres. The biggest contractor in the world on this area has the contract, Nakheel.

The Waterfront City will be built from scratch, the cities vibrant core will exist of the squared artificial island. The new city will create 1,5 million new inhabitants and the waterfront development and other regions will create ONE MILLION new jobs.

The core island will be hooked to the main land via, both the new metro-train system and pedestrians strays and car bridges. Although Dubai is aiming on having as little cars as possible to create an Urban retreat.

So it all started with Burj Al Arab then went on to The Palm Trilogy and then went even further with the Burj Dubai. Sky is really the limit in Dubai not your dreams.. Because in Dubai even your dreams is possible, there is also the Dinosaur Park, in Dubailand will be created.

When Finished building the Waterfront City will be the most high-tech, Eco city on the planet. The Architectures has planned the building so that they are preventing hot winds from entering the city, and making the moist drain to a self watering system. They are planting trees so that the air will be purified, the are using the water breeze and aim it into the inland to create a cooler atmosphere in the otherwise 111 F medium heat. (44 Celcius / 317 Kelvin). This is by far The largest building site in the world obtaining over 35% of the world lifting cranes, Dubai is the Future and it’s already here.
