I found this really cool building in Dubai, but I can't seem to find any other info. I saw a lot of very interesting buildings in Dubai, but no real info.

You sure that's not London?

Sure that's not London? (heh, dupe w/link)

When fact checkers attack!
 

heh.

That is 30 St Mary Axe, London - aka The Gherkin

With Tower42, Formerly the NatWest Tower behind

It's really nice to see the long-lasting and consistent style
of British architecture protecting their classic scenes of history...

Yeah, I thought it looked like the Gherkin. :) What a dumb name for a building imo, but I guess that's what it looks like.

Maybe the Burj Al Arab was intended; it has a similar shape seen from the front.

There's a long-time Cellarite (and skyscraper fan, to boot) over here who lived in Dubai for 5 years, and can totally hook you up if you're ever looking for info... :-)

That is the largest dildo I have ever seen.

That's only its nickname of course :)
We now also have The Shard and to come, The Walkie-Talkie.

Lamp, London is a living, breathing, working city.
I'd rather have something interesting to look at as well as the historical buildings, than the boring cereal-box offices we usually get.

Me too!

Not to mention, if we did actually protect all our 'classic scenes of history' we'd never be able to build anything new in the capital.

You can't go three feet in London without tripping over a historically significant something.

Depending on how appropriate my footwear is, I can't go more than three feet without tripping over...

I'm sure there's a joke about a Dwellar in here somewhere ... ;)
