Dubai Sci-Fi
The more and more I read about Dubai, the more it strikes me as a city straight out of science fiction. The most recent article was this 60 Minutes segment hosted by Yahoo news. The Sheik decided that they should double the coastline of the city, and so they built an island that looks kinda like a spider, so that each of the arms could have beach-front condos on it.
I don't know if the look they're going for over there is the futuristic, or whether that's just what's happening, but Dubai looks like where it's at for science-fiction styled architecture and man-made islands.
Edited to add a photo that appeared in the NYTimes a few weeks ago, but that I couldn't find online. Luckily, I'd saved it. :)
