Dubai Tower Design

For the next couple of weeks, my office is working on an after hours competition for a residential development in Dubai. I have worked on projects there in the past (that I have shown most of you), mainly in the city planning - man-made palm island realm. This project focuses specifically on a peninsula of development, with six towers and their adjoining open space to be designed. I was intrigued by the design of the tower(s) conceptually as a palm tree. The team really liked the idea, but I'd love to get your reactions to my preliminary sketches.

Hello, I'm back...

This is a three tower thing? I'd like to see more environment around the towers so I could picture these things a little better. The soncept sounds cool, and I really like the levels or steps around the building, which react to its growing out of the earth.

there can be up to six towers. the site plan is still being developed as part of the overall entry, there's still a lot in the air.
