This is extracted from a beautiful highly recommended National Geographic documentary titled, "Can it be Built? Circular Skyscraper". It is the world's first circular skyscraper. In the documentary, Engineers talk in gorgeous and generous detail about the innovations and obstacles that went into designing this piece of art which went hand in hand with building it in a record 30 months. All copyrights belong to National Geographic who filmed this project from start to finish. Link:

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

  • is: A M A Z I N G !!

  • @KnightMD you jealous idiot!

  • it looks like something out of disney world!

  • @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! :)

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

  • @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 :/
