The ugliest building I’ve ever seen. Having a lot of money doesn’t mean they have good taste. They always try to impress people with the size/cost of their projects. Emirates are like Disneyland.

Wow, this is disturbing. It looks like a ferrari was ran over by a tank or something..

il made in italy nel mondo. andiamo bene

I´m scared….Outta here now!!!

Well, it certainly looks… um… parasitic?

Truly a waste of space and materials. Why????? Is it because of money??????

Peach the Starfish from Finding Nemo?

At least there is not a word about “sustainable credentials” in the description… that would have just been too funny a claim.

What does the bird look like if you are not a bird? Horrible and tacky display of money over common sense

I’ve always said it, and this proves it: money can’t buy taste.

This “thing” is not as bad as the commments that is producing.
I wonder why somenthing that is trying to be in some ways progressive in terms of form, site orchestration and maybe program? gets so many negative comments.

if it was one of those little boxes with louvers all around it wouldnt generate this much controversy.
But i guess this frenzy insult is a kind of back handed compliment. And you could tell by the kind of language and words that are being used that the people are somehow threaten by this awesome ameba……i dont think is nice but i think that it is important to have works like this and we should be a little more critical and do not try to dismiss our profession all the time because of pity arrogance…..(architects are probably the only people who constantly bashes the achievements of the profession and then they wonder about the state of it in todays society)

javier – are you serious??

you’ve used the word “progressive”, which means that somewhere in that write-up, the writer has convinced you that this building is equipped to further enhance (anything) in preparation for the future. that, it has not. it is NOT an original amoebae form, which is prevalent today – and at that- a fading fad. it does NOT address the surrounding landscape nor engage it nor enhance it. it does NOT state anything about it’s environmental impact, carbon footprint or green principles in effect. the writeup stated it clearly will offer to the “global tourist destination” of the island, similar to that of Las Vegas, Times Square, Disneyland, and the White House.

do NOT dismiss architects by stating that we’re all condescending and arrogant towards works that attempt to push the envelope. that just shows that you have not really engaged with other projects on this site, which although some may not be the most incredible, they at least attempt to address a need while invigorate design in an efficient and environmentally conscious manner. there is no enviable or even noteworthy kudos for steroidal buildings created to flaunt the ego of a brand and flex the muscle that the dollar could bring while negating all of the wonderful opportunities that a seemingly bottomless budget and infinite site could bring. we won’t just allow this shit to pass..

The building, the ugliest ever!!!
but the theme park, looks kinda fun…hahaha

wow…. I seriously thought ferrari land was a joke….
