More Strange Buildings

Here's some more strange buildings in Dubai. It seems like most of the new buildings have to be different in some way. Although at first sight it might seem like there are no two buildings the same, there are in fact a lot of "twin towers". I particularly like the two in the first picture. I am not sure what they are, but they look a bit like twin penguins. The twisted one in the second picture is the Infinity Tower at Dubai Marina. This will be 73 stories high when it is finished and it will twist by more than 90 degrees. Construction started in 2006, but was held up for 18 months when a dam holding the marina cracked and flooded the foundations. It was just about complete when we saw it, and should be finished now. These buildings were seen from the Dubai Metro, a great way to see the architecture along Sheikh Zayed Road, the main axis road of Dubai.
