Dubai on the Rise: Top 3 Up-and-Coming Wonders

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Nestled in the heart of the Middle East, the Emirate offers tourists a surprisingly decadent oasis full of coastal beauty , innovative wonders, and fascinating Dubai attractions. Dubai’s transformation from a mere coastal town into a giant, yet beautiful, metropolis continues to gain the city worldwide attention.

The Apeiron Hotel

An innovative resort stretching from the sky to the sea

Plans are in the works to add a second Dubai 7-star hotel to their collection of resorts. Borrowing its name from a Greek cosmological theory about an indefinite source from which everything in the universe originates, The Apeiron is designed to burst with originality. The island resort is still in conceptual phases, but the familiar Dubai luxury and technology are evident even in the designs.

Some of the hotel’s features include:

  • 438 suites
  • Underwater restaurant
  • Butterfly jungle
  • Helipad and sky reception
  • Spa
  • Health club
  • Underwater lagoon

Dynamic Tower

An 80-story, multipurpose building that generates energy

This revolutionary skyscraper with independently rotating floors would combine the Emirate’s lavish tendencies and Dubai’s architectural superiority with new eco-friendly technology. Although still a concept, the tower is designed to not only power itself, but provide five other smaller buildings with energy, as well.

Dubai’s dynamic tower, designed by Dr. David Fisher, introduces an entirely new element into 21st century architecture: time. Each floor will be able to move at different speeds and in different directions.

The tower will be 80 floors with each section of the building having a unique purpose:

  • Floors 1-20: offices
  • Floors 21-35: luxury hotel
  • Floors 36-70: residential apartments
  • Floors 71-80: luxury villas

Dubai Hub One

A cultural center designed to be the heart of the Middle East

Already equipped with some of the best shopping in Dubai, Studio Nova has proposed that Dubai build a hub for the United Arab Emirates where individuals could take in culture the same way they consume goods.

The building itself was designed using computer algorithms and special programs that transform space in both futuristic and productive ways. The hub will allow Dubai cultural attractions to be centrally located in one place.

The cultural hub will provide individuals with a space for:

  • Galleries
  • Museums
  • Libraries
  • Meeting spaces
