Largest bridge goes to Dubai...!





We all have recently seen the amazing architecture of Dubai and their buildings. It looks like Dubai is set to take the title of World’s largest bridge with this latest concept bridge. This bridge will be a mile long and 670-feet high at its highest point. It will have a whooping 12 lanes of traffic with a metro line running down the center. It is expected to be able to carry over 4000 hours vehicles per hour and will cost a measly 817 million dollars (chump change to them at least).

7 Star luxurious hotel in Dubai




Dubai has become notorious for its luxury architecture. Developers are said to be hovering over this unique 7-star hotel in Dubai designed by Sybarite Architects after a major hotel group showed interest in putting up the funds.The US$350m (£173m) 28-floor Aperiron building would be 300m from the Dubai coast and accessible only by boat or helicopter.

As well as 438 luxury suites, it would contain a spa, an art gallery, and an underwater restaurant with views into a surrounding lagoon.To top it off, the top two floors would house a temperature-controlled butterfly jungle with tropical species.Its unique structural design has not yet garnered a nickname, but Building staff have variously named it ‘The Rollmop’, ‘The Pringle’ and ‘The Funnel’.
