Dubai has gone an extra step to prove that it is absolutely crazy. A resort known as the cloud is being built on poles, 300 m tall!! Yes, you heard right. The Cloud is being built on 300m tall poles erected on the ground.
It is designed to resemble a cloud from which rain is pouring down. The architect, Nadim Karam, (he is a Lebanese architect) unveiled the idea recently and the idea has won critical acclaim.

The concept has just entered the design books and has not yet been finalised but judging by Dubai's trends, it looks like this baby is here to stay.
There was speculation about the stability of this piece of architecture (I dont know how else to call it. it is not a building, not a tower, not a skyscraper....wierd) but it looks like only time can tell whether or not this resort will be built.
