. the structure looks like it is not massive but its massive.. and i thought that the plan is square but its not.. the illusion is so nice.. i like this bldg. and one thing that give life in this bldg. is the interior light effect… the natural lighting give aesthetics inside the bldg. . .

beirut is discusting with all these projects !!! From 5 year till now More than 20 tower project will be built by end of 2015 in beirut ! for non lebanese!
Destroying the old traditional buildings an destroying all the culture that lebanese people has to rebuild towers that has no harmony in a small city such as Beirut is a disaster !!! The project might be good But not in Beirut !!!

Dr. Grovi, these project are not for (lebanese) at all but they will do fine, as long they have the down town, clubs and jumaizeh.. they dont need towers but what can we do, it is a middle eastern trend for investment now adays.

The last “diagram” doesn’t say anything!! Enough already with these BIG-esque abstractions that don’t justify a project at all! Let’s learn how to use diagrams!

Yes. Not bad, chic, contemporary. But:

Can’t help but thinking these fancy projects make me uncomfortable. Those new shiny towers in all the cities of the world. They will speed up the march towards an elitist life style society, those who can pay, separating from the rest, the “normal” people, especially in poorer, somewhat under-developed countries.

If there is no larger educated middle class, those projects will continue the fraying of social ties and values. The Middle-East, Africa, places in Asia(Vietnam, even China) will all develop rapidly, with unforgiving pace and never looking back. Design feeds that process. Sadly. I am not pointing fingers, just how it is.
