AlDar HQ - The world's first circular skyscraper - Abu Dhabi 2010 أبو ظبى

[RalphMuskinyaar]

however they made their city, they provide employment and money for the workers who would die of hunger in their own countries. 

[sameer21219]

[94hourstilAHIG]

@sameer21219 that's good shit man. I would love to take a tour of Dubai someday

[comerwea324]

[my86samurai]

[levaforeva]

0:49 borgore?



[runescape1411]

i was born in dubai

[TheDrumdude21]

My cousins school is just opposite that building!

[cb7pwn]

FUCK Dubai!!

[princessemobitch1]

think about Dubai sinking

[almasry]

A place where everyone gets doomed if they don't know how to smell the coffee... All of this is architecturally amazing but what for?

[free00to00ryhme]

wow. so they building a bunch of new skyscrapers just to make their shit hole of a country look good? thats fuckin smart, i mean debt building.

[greenkidd529]

@free00to00ryhme their oil that they dig will run out by 2016, so they have to find another way for their city to thrive. the prince decided to go with dubais traditional methods of Tourist and trade for prophet. so they make landmarks that stand out to get people to go. and they also build manmade islands to extend the land for more tourist. its actually good business(as far as revenue) and pretty cool, itd be an awesome place to visit! :)

[Zenafora]

0:50 Now they have to build a mother fucking museum just so they can put this goddamned circle thing in it.

[deanlibertyoldtimeco]

Prince of Dubai doesnt have to deal with democrats red tape

[iseeyouCU]

the title was written: AlDar HQ - The world's first circular skyscraper - Abu Dhabi 2010 but why some people here babblin about Dubai? dumbasses!

[greenkidd529]

@iseeyouCU because haters gonna hate, sadly..im ashamed sometimes im american :/

[trishia000]

so this building is called Aldar HQ? hmmm

i was livin on a villa in front of this building and i never knew what its called..

[SuperAdvent1]

Wow cant believe dubai was all sand 10 years ago... They built an entire city in the same time it takes USA to build a fckn bridge.

[KnightMD]

@SuperAdvent1 Yeah. The wonders of slavery. Google an article called "The Dark Side of Dubai" if you want to learn more.

[akiladehan]

@KnightMD US minimum wage of 5-something $ in some states? Practically slavery to me... And funny how the minimum wage for Alabama is apparently 0.00$ :P

[deadorfree]

@KnightMD you jealous idiot!

[4ecompass]

@SuperAdvent1 When I see comments like these I think of the pyramids built in egypt, PURE SLAVERY. Go gloat on that.

[Awash777]

@SuperAdvent1 The circular Al Dar building is in Abu Dhabi, the richest city in the world. The USA is controlled by corporations who cares less.

[greenkidd529]

@SuperAdvent1 their prince has the money to dish out on a speedy project thats why, and he can hire as many people as he wants. and not just from his country from all over! here, we only hire our construction workers/city works to build the bridge and deadlines are usually lengthy. we dont have the money or resource to dish out, especially since we're trillions of dollars in dept. haha we wont ever hav these cool structures :/

[BehelitOutlaw]

@SuperAdvent1 And BTW those who engeneer those works are not from Dubai but Europe and US

[greg55666]

That thing is awesome.  Retarded, but awesome.

[VinodBombay]

looks like a big vagiana...

[tracytracy1000]

big pimple

[myndwork]

ugliest piece of shit ever made.

[consrignornt]

@myndwork you're an ugly piece of shit

[myndwork]

@consrignornt suck my ball hairs.

[johnawesley1]

ah good american money put to good use..

[Meingun]

yes i agree prince hubabuba

[JavaLuCpp]

You know what i like about these guys. They spent money of city building instead on tanks and AK47. Thums up and keep it up.

[Axesss]

they should have made it of solarcells instead

[TheRohanroxx]

did u know that there are 2 skyscraper inside its just a covring of 2 skyscraper. i live in the cuntry u people all over the world in holidays come to this country

[sk9hm]

dubia is a new york and chicago wanna be

but there trying to make it better with "taller buildings"

[consrignornt]

@sk9hm

no, Dubai is trying to be Dubai

you americans just can't stand that your being left behind

[sk9hm]

@consrignornt im not american

[Breth1018]

give me some rocks please :D

[Flamez481]

i bet my coins bigger than that :D

[sertox12345]

its nise that you guys can dig a hole and make all that cash for doing nothing

[uppercaseeffyou]

@sertox12345 atleast they have to dig and sell money.. america has to work hard to get the money... and when that doesnt work.. it invades a country or 2.. when that doesnt work press "ctrl+p" and they get the money printed.. its called natural resources u idiot..

[deathlord9696]

they finished that arleady

[StuPadazzo]

This is what you can do when you don't have to worry about those pesky building codes. I saw the documentary of the company that installed the glass in this building and that's all the foreman talkied about - how you couldn't do stuff like this in countries that have safe building codes. They went on and on about the things they saw going on inside this building when they were constructing it. Baaaaad stuff....

[zoomerlawns]

My biggest fear isn't that it would collapse. My biggest fear is that it might roll away into the sea.

[spider23000]

All I see is a giant teabag.

But i'm not an architect.

I think it's great that architecture, like every other form of art or expression, is completely open to debate. It's not wrong if people hate this building, that's art for you. I think it looks ok, it's original at least. It wouldn't work in most other countries. And it's better than most of the hideous things they're building down the road in Dubai

[richard232323]

windows cleaner anyone?



[Vaxonblue]

Hail to the mega-waffle

[bustacapinlutha]

what a bunch of dumb asses. does anyone see the fuckin awesome building? Are you just

jealous because the only architecture in the west resembles Del Taco stands.

[Minidude110]

1:11 "architect marijuana's ray"

[lyue1996]

Oh my god! Fking awesome!

Check out Shanghai Tower, it's unique too .. :D

[M0NAD33]

And I love the way the architecture gracefully fits into the surrounding environment. Such aesthetics not to be incommoded by reason or taste!

[rahmm460]

thats the gherkins arse

[elcamo11]

why does dubai have all this amazing archetechture?

[ajaychandar92]

I wonder what would happen if somebody pushed it from one of the sides.. :P

[MegaLambo24]

wow got to give it to them, i dont care what race they did it now what bitches

[ZA56AA]

They've got the oil oligopoly and the play with the prices instead the West to push them and push them hard with wars so the Westerners to take theoil reserves from those savages.

We've got the savages from the Middle East and the Asians with the chao labor from the East.

Both are enemies.

Bush is a hero.

[reymatt76]

It's hideous and everyone knows it.

[cyberdudero]

They buried Mickey Mouse!!!

[4ecompass]

@cyberdudero Lmao!

[nkd8765]

"MOMMY CAN I RIDE IT!?"

[Faithful650]

This is the Aldar building, it stands out and I can see it from my window at a distance. It is on the Raha beach and besides it is the Raha Mall. Locally we call it 'The Dirham' has it looks like a local dirham coin. It is indeed an outstanding piece of architectural work!

[Einstien1879]

stargate : > )

[manualLaborer]

when will Volkswagen pay to put up a giant "VW" on the front of the building?

[RHVids100]

chuck norris uses 2 of these for his sunglasses.

[ArtBrilliA]

Dreams Money Can Buy !

ArtBrilliA , Ym CMB Also !

[FuJi1616]

Why amazing buildings is in Dubai???.... and the most amazing of Dubai's Awesome Buildings/Architecture is The "Rotating Tower"

[Faithful650]

@FuJi1616 It is in Abu Dhabi not Dubai. Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates while Dubai is the center of the UAE.

[trustindog01]

next level

[HelmetBlissta]

Filthy oils sheiks building these testaments to their own ego's, when they could be making the world a better place for ordinary people. They should try building some hospitals or schools in countries that need them rather than this type of ego-monument.

[soori20]

@HelmetBlissta who ever told u they don't??? They just have enough money for both... Please don't go insulting people without actually doing any research on them :)

PEACE!

[HelmetBlissta]

@soori20 I appreciate your comment and you are quite right that should not insult people. It's just in my experience however hard I might work it is always a struggle. Yet some individuals on this planet seem to have claimed the resources for themselves. The oil was created millions of years ago before any human being was alive. How then so some claim rights to it over others. The worlds resources should belong to all. So respectfully I ask could they nationalise the oil industry.

[od1984]

@HelmetBlissta Its not my problem or any rich shiekhs problem that your ancestors decided to settle in a shit hole. .. every settlor has the right to use his resource and sell it to others. if you wanna nationalise the oil industry than china, russia, usa and any other big selfish hungry country will abuse your recourse and there will be nothing left for you. think my friend before you comment.

[TubeBoober]

@soori20 Thank you!!

[od1984]

@HelmetBlissta If you dont know anything about a person or any subject why comment?? dont make your self look or sound like an ignorant do your research about UAE shiekhs. They spend more than 100m a year to help undeveloped countries.

[BnTamim]

its near Yas Marina F1 Circuit and hotel and away from dubai 70km

[myndwork]

ugly.

[godschild945]

AMEN!

[sandip0sheta]

amazing engineering

[FsimulatorX]

Seams like dubia has a tree where money and ideas grow

[SILSmd]

@FsimulatorX Just money. They then use it to buy the ideas.

[BnTamim]

@SILSmd

If you wanna build new house you will go to construction company to look at the designs...Its the same, they pic this design,its unique.

[ThisIsMattEvans]

This is what I love about Abu Dhabi. They don't just make construction and development plans for the sake of it. They have an idea, they realise the potential, they get on with it, they help shape the greatest city in the world. Truly amazing…

[rpcarnell]

Now we need a building-size Cookie Monster

[jamie101911]

Man , They're window cleaners get a Full days work outa themm... 

[filip95SRBcawi]

@jamie101911 yes they r working allmost every day .... every morning when i go to school i see them :P so sick

[jamie101911]

@filip95SRBcawi Well ill pray that they are safe (:

[beastifying]

fucking towel heads/ sand niggers can only build this because us americans are dumb enough to buy there crude oil

[beezamm]

@beastifying than fix the problem

[beezamm]

@beezamm oh that's right .. your not smart enough.. Sooo who's the Nigger...LOL

[RedNorthern]

@beastifying lol is the addict insulting his dealer?

[koolkitty9876]

@ThatzzWassuh Haha, it did!!

[ayeeshka]

[homerbear46]

OK...admit it, this would be awesome in a disaster movie getting smashed off it's footings and rolling down the highway!!!

[travisimoto]

a circle....how unique -.-

[85slug]

That shit look like a dream that i had,anyways about time for another vacation trip.. Dubai here i came baby!!!

[uaexsaif]

persian gulf?! WTF!!

[danielpavelic]

Amazing. Truly stunning - nothing to say more. 

[Frequent2001]

amazing structure! built by abu dhabi's slave workers from all over africa!

[Haringamag]

@Frequent2001 actually they do not employ slave labour. they employ qualified engineers and normal construction workers from reputed organisations and pay high wages/ salaries.

[Frequent2001]

@Haringamag actually maybe you should look things up before posting something on youtube. of course they have to hire some qualified engineers, it doesnt mean they don't have a system of slave labour. you can call it whatever you want, but when you have someone travel from aboard, promising them a great salary, and when they arrive you tell them that they owe a big amount of money that they have to pay back by working constantly, and being lodged in a bunch of shacks, thats slave labour.

[TubeBoober]

@Haringamag: Im glad u mentioned this to the ignoramuses out there. I have friends who are teachers, DJ's, etc. that go to (or have gone to) Dubai for work and get paid HANDSOMELY!!! Some have temporarily moved there and some may stay there to live. They say it's absolutely STUNNING (the architecture) and the ppl are kind.

[TubeBoober]

@Frequent2001 Funny... the workers on the video were white.

[Frequent2001]

TubeBoober shows how fucking retarded you are to think everyone living on the african continent is black.

[feyzu66]

@Frequent2001 who gives fuck about what they are...

[Frequent2001]

@feyzu66 the guy im replying to seems to care. its just funny to see someone so fucking stupid who actually thinks he knows stuff.

[TubeBoober]

@Frequent2001: Asshole!! The REAL Afrikans ARE Black!!! Not the land-raping leeches (wh. ppl)

[Justwantaccount1]

it is beautiful. awesome.

[shams302]

@mhalqungchristine14

the west will destroy it in WAR

[engaradwan]

Persian Gulf!

[passingbynight]

The giant Oreo cookie!!

[sawys100]

superr 

[aj56thstreet]

I can build that in 5 seconds.

[harrybyles1996]

i can see that outside my house

[k31van]

The circular shape is spoilt by the ugly criss-cross on the surface.

[dunaparty]

nice shape but this isnt a skyscraper...only 110m high.....

[Dannycow3]

0:49 that guy's hot

[nickt916]

i want to go there, and present a triangle idea, then a star, ill be a zillionare!!

[FmobileYT]

this is a masterpiece, it's like the sunshade of Abu Dhabi mashallah

we need more buildings like that in Kuwait

[kittleboy]

What are they doing to do with the hot weather ?!

Bringing clouds?! like in Qatar

then what after the oil is over ?

Future of these cities:

Like in old cities shown in the movies with no one in them and the sand is waving through the air with wind

[vitalwords]

@kittleboy That Time As They Olready Are On The Way , They Will be Financial GIANTS :) . So Its Not Gona END .. As Long As Allah Wants To End :)

[uaexsaif]

@kittleboy lol, even though that's a long way ahead.. there are so many large projects going on in Abu Dhabi for other sources of energy such masdar for solar energy and so many students are studying to be nuclear engineers.. im in 10th grade and most of my classmates are going for nuclear engineering next year!

[kittleboy]

What the hell is this

[kittleboy]

Damn rich arabs

[isometric85]

@kittleboy what rich arabs??? all the richness is the brain of the european people or asians..

[admx94]

So.. you were in NY and it was dirty... I live in NJ, trust me, that's nothing new to me. What I meant was, America (the USA) is very clean. About 30% of America's land is preserved through the national and state park systems. Even more is preserved portions of ocean. What you encountered in NYC (which is a beautiful city) is typical of a REAL city, not some Las Vegas copycat that is unoriginal and doomed to fail. BTW, Las Vegas is very clean too, because its in a desert. Dubai will get dirty...

[faico444]

@admx94 compared To Dubai USA is Like A Tape Video In a World f Blue ray.

[nekor101]

@faico444 ur way off dubai isn't that good its just a city full of millionaires and billionaires ^_^

and the U.S wouldn't be one of the world's powers if that were true

[faico444]

@nekor101 And that a good thing having billionaires all around not invaders.

[ugurmurataltun]

faboluous ...



[truckerfromreno]

those dirty Arabs used camels to carry the mud bricks.

[Mich4elCorleone]

@truckerfromreno that's a nice example of uneducated kid fellas !!

[arabmafiaify]

@truckerfromreno are jealous haha ? OK WASH MY FERRARI I GIVE U 1000$ ok haha

[cyberdaemon]

World biggest cookie, WOOT!

[jeepmann92]

I'm just wondering how it deals with wind...

[KnightMD]

@jeepmann92 Aoout 1/3 of the documentary addressed that.

[bonasi678]

@KnightMD where i can find the full documentary ?

[KnightMD]

@bonasi678 Google "Can it be built? Circular Skyscraper" :)

[faico444]

@KnightMD nothing is impossible in Dubai already Being Built As U Can see U should go check it out.

[officalzak]

@jeepmann92 Well if you look at it you can see the it curves outward so that the wond can escape from the middle to the end but really good question though.

[savannahblk]

No, what im doing is marveling at how the UAE is blowing up while the haters comment on how its nothing. Dont flip the scrip cause some sucker tries to put the us above this country. Anybody would love to see this except the skeptics and those who dont appreciate or respect the UAE.

[savannahblk]

Lol@ hereHehereHE, YEA the US can do all those things. BUt U forgetting dumbass russia can blow up the world and its army isnt SCARED OF NO OTHER ARMY in the world. The british army is regarded as one of the best trained armys in the world every single year. America has more billionaires along with poverty, corruption, child delenquency, lmaooo. More than half of the worlds oil suppy comes from the middle east; why is the US kissin saudi, kuwait asses? Now u tryin to control iran and iraq,lol.

[67000bull]

Keep it going great job.

[FaisalScarface]

props to savannahblk.way to go dude

[FaisalScarface]

phoenixaltar's just a jealous retard..and joaquinveyron..c'mon man..those engineer went there hungry for cash from arabs.what do you think the arab countries would do if they weren't this oil rich?there's no if here retard..they indeed have those oils..you're just the same jealous

ابو ظبي اجمل وانظف مدينة عربيه

[IchiCrack]

@savannahblk

The Arabs are trying really hard to fit in with the western world. They try to mark their place in the world by building bigger and more ridiculous as though there is meaning behind that. UAE is just a playground for western architects whose concept projects would have been passed up in their country.

[Lucasius19]

@IchiCrack Well it looks much cleaner than in US, and actually arabs are the architects...

[admx94]

@Lucasius19 Lol please.... Burj Khalifa, heard of it? Oh yeah, American architects. And as for America being clean, do you know anything about America?

[Lucasius19]

@admx94 Yes i know a lot about US, i was in New York and it is dirty! BTW don't say America, America is an continent, real Americans are Native Americans the Indians and i hate US Peoples for few reasons, 1st you came from Europe, steal the lands and massacre the Native Americans and destroyed those people lives 2nd when i hear about some wars always there have to be "US" i have never saw a war without you being involved.
