Dubai Tower Thompson | In Photos



The Dubai Towers are the most mesmerizing piece of architecture that is to hit the world in this century, at least in my opinion. "The four towers, ranging from 54 to 97 floors, are clustered to form a choreographed sculpture, representing the movement of candlelight", the architect write in their press release from January this year. I love the structure of the building. It looks so complex. I love the curves of the towers and how they look like they are just slightly twisting. The twists and waves are extremely subtle, but you can't possible not notice them. The effect is so elegant it leaves you breathless. Honestly, I'd make a trip to Dubai only to look at these towers (and manage some shopping as well!). The four towers, ranging from 54 to 97 floors take inspiration from a flickering candle flame. The amazingly original and exquisitely beautiful Dubai towers are the project of architecture firm Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback and Associates.


Dubai Towers Dubai is a four tower complex proposed in the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The developer, Sama Dubai, intends this to form the centrepiece of The Lagoons, a megaproject located on Dubai Creek which will consist of seven islands. The towers have between 57 to 94 stories[1] and although the heights are not known, it is believed the tallest will top 400 metres (1,310 ft) while two others will rise beyond 300 metres (980 ft).
