Nakheel flips out and launches The Universe


^ian^

I think this is disgustingly ugly. The Palms are nice... the world is OK... the universe is a complete joke.
Looks like someone smeared crap on a picasso.
Concord Dumb ar$e idea. It ain't happening... ^ian^
I really think they should not do it... apart from the fact it looks like it was designed by a retarded midget with the intellect of a 4 year old crayon stabber - it just doesn't make sense. BabyDoll actually the palm doesnt even look that nice. looks sterile and congested :cry: reviewer They would eventually turn Dubai into a big circus in the desert.... scarlet I'm particularly not happy about it. But apparently its for the greater good of all the waterfront projects ^ian^
I'm not exactly sure how it is for the greater good of anyone but Nakheel's coffers... and I'm even dubious about that. St.Lucifer
i think it'll bolster the other projects in fighting tsunami's..etc ^ian^
No I don't think so. The gulf is not susceptible to tsunamis anyway due to the lack of water volume to build a big enough wave.
I don't get it... in one breath Nakheel launch a program for environmental sustainability and then simultaneous launch this.... this.... thing!!!
Look at puppet! look at the puppet! <-- points to anyone who can cite the quote. reviewer
I agree but the Persian Gulf/Arab Gulf..is on the same path as the so called Ring of Fire Volcanic activity....means susceptible to major earthquakes..

^ian^
When was the last earthquake here?
^ian^
Hey man, that's one whacky website. We should all have been dead from the 2000 poles shift according to that site.
Can we get back to discussing how damn ugly this new 'project' from Nakheel is? reviewer
^ian^
Earthquake is a very low low risk here... more like to be wiped out by a stray warhead when they nuke Iran. reviewer
Maybe..but still there is a risk .......as the plates continue to move (since its in the ring of fire)....the risk will never go away... ^ian^
Who gives a crap? Can we get back talking about 'The Universe'? BabyDoll
Doesnt need to be on the path of Volcanic activity ring. Just need to recall the tidal wave that hit Thailand some 2 years ago !! St.Lucifer The brojec is bery ambitious.. how otherwise in the world would they continue the egonomic groth? reviewer
The question is ..Is there a need to build such ambitious project?
Dubaidude007 Time for new management for Nakheel reviewer
The real question is ..Is there a need to build such colossal project? ^ian^
Well the 'need' part is always subjective.
My own thoughts are does it need to look like a hat full of assholes? BabyDoll
A hat with holes will look like this:
reviewer
Well the "look like" part is quite arbitrary.... ^ian^
That hole hat looks pretty cool... where do I get one? BabyDoll Being devils advocate, I suppose it makes sense. First build the palm on water. Second, build a World. Third, build an universe. I wonder they would consider Pluto as a planet or not ! Concord Please people. You are scaring me I thought it was the Net Nannies posting. Here is the scoop. "The Universe"...Oh my God that is hedious (already said)...but maybe envoromentally concious (already said). So here is what we'll do "think blue" (see gulfnews cover today)... we'll scale it down to just some environmetal features and...voila...Universe turns into a "blessing"...Anyone remember Palms (Jumeirah, Jebel Ali, Deira), World?...of course not..."Anyone remember laughter..." reviewer
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Need I say more.... BabyDoll
You are thinking of growing pony tails ???? :shock: St.Lucifer
hmm... hmmm u are.... hmmmmmmmm ^ian^
Horse + Baked Beans + Cheese....
whoops... wrong thread. reviewer
Is your mouth full of lentils or what....... :lol: :lol: St.Lucifer
nyet... something from the last sentence .. your almost double posted real question .. made me think something..
and yeah this is not the lentil thread :) reviewer
Yep.... I did..DP...what a sharp eye you have.....I thought you're busy with that fooooooood..thing on the other thread.... St.Lucifer :D DP wasnt the reason for the humming .. it was something else that caught me thinking but now seems like its cleared... reviewer
Thinking what...? :?: bonk Here's a photo of from the Nakheel movie theatres at TDIM today. It looks like someone's stuck on bits of cloth in a rush job.
reviewer
Like a petra dish of salmonella under a microscope...... sage & onion
Dubai has become every Architects dream location, and now this!!!!!!!!!!!!,
It's beyond belief. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: raidah with every step into the sea, nakheel digs a bigger hole for dubai to fall in. too bad none of the main developers comes up with something really different when it comes to their buildings. Concord
I thought you used to post sensible post...but then again what the hell do I know... St.Lucifer
Hey its been sometime.. raidah :D those strong words! ;) Dubaidude007
Raidah,
How much more different can they get from this monstorosity they are trying to sell? Dubai Knight I saw, I read, I despaired! Its officially PANTS! Is there no originality in this town? Even if the 'Universe' (trying to go one better than the Bahrain project called The Galaxy) were a nice development...this does it no favours. However people will buy it, because of where it is and what it is. They are going to buy a truck load of dog poo... :evil: :evil: :evil: Knight reviewer
Imagine this..all of it being copied and planned in Saudi Arabia... Dubai Knight
The Saudis are building an exact copy of Dubai on the Red Sea.
The only differences are:
No alcohol
No dodgy establishments for meeting laydees
As a result: No people!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Knight reviewer
The least is thy're trying to be original..... :roll: :roll: Dubai Knight
You think?
Dubai is REALLY original. They are building replicas of all the major wonders of the world in DubaiLand.
The city really is encapsulated by Karama:
"Copy handbag
Copy watch
Copy DVD
Copy wonder of the world?"
:shock: :shock: :shock:
Knight reviewer
:lol: :lol: Nobody can top that...a new logo my be good...
WELCOME TO DUBAI......hEY KARAMA :!: :!: (with spanish accent pls) scarlet I went to the Nakheel exhibit todat at TDIM. drumrolll and Nakheel brings you THE UNIVERSE aha ahhsh ha ha The main galaxy is all highrises ( in this conceptual plan) The milky way is villas and there will be golf courses. For the first time I didn't get the tingles when a new project was announced, just a feeling of despair ^ian^
No Cake? St.Lucifer
no good lookin gys around? None pinched ya? scarlet
The offered me full food but I declined it was 4pm Dubai Knight
I am sure the food would be like The Universe:
Tasteless.
:shock: :shock: :shock:
Knight BabyDoll Ha ha. I was there too - but there was no food!! I completely missed The Universe as well. :shock: Oh well ... gtmash So with all those new islands crammed in, all those rich people will have neighbours who can spy on each other with binoculars? Like at the cramped Marina? Dubaidude007
Rich people don't spy on each other- its called admiring the view :) bonk
Is it worth going to see The Universe display? I went on Sunday and all I could see was the video show they had (have seen everything else so don't really want to go again). Dubai Knight It would seem that you cannot see the Universe...but you can see something in the Arabian Gulf planned by Nakheel that looks something like Uranus! :lol: :lol: :lol: Knight BabyDoll
If they serve good food then YEAH go again :lol:
If not, dont bother. Sooner or later they will be showcase in Ibn Battuta mall. bonk
I'll have to take your word for that, although I don't know when you saw it. Last time I tried to look, I twisted my neck badly :wink: . bonk
Food wasn't great. Tired cheese and tomato or tuna sandwiches.

Good point, just wanted to get photos to update a website :). BabyDoll Does this help? reviewer
Or people watching....admiring their own kind of people....bling..bling :D bonk
Thanks, yes that first one is useful. But I should really take my own photos for the website, especially since I had a go at someone here for plagiarism last week :). scarlet
No it was just a video presentation. And Bonk i know what you want photos for> Thought you were on skyscraper as well 8) bonk
Ok, thanks :).

Busted! I should have worn my 8) . scarlet That's Ok - i use a different handle on that site! Good input though raidah
they are not strong. its true. by the way, even thou i think the palms, the world, the way they were imagined and made its a wow story, but never have i beleived its good to damage nature the way it was done because of those projects. and not to mention the danger that can come with this level of interfeering with nature.
as for other developers, i told my boss our company is no better than any other because we stand in line with all the rest who just want to outdo everybody else with something bigger and higher and more fancy looking. im writing from the office, so obviously my comment was not a reason to kick me out. :P craigindubai
You mean that's only in the planning stages??? I thought they were nearly complete on that project??? St.Lucifer
Dint u hear the shieks saying.. u've not seen anything yet. its just 30 % whats comin up in dubai.. Dubai Knight
Whats coming up...is my lunch!
:shock: :shock: :shock:
Knight reviewer
I wonder what's gonna be next this time.......for the remaining 70%.... :roll:
