The three wind turbines on the Bahrain World Trade Centre are scheduled to be commissioned in three weeks time, the last week of October 2007. This is the first time that a commercial development has integrated large-scale wind turbines within its design to harness the power of the wind. The three massive turbines, measuring 29 meters in diameter, are supported by bridges spanning between the complex’s two towers. Through its positioning and the unique aerodynamic design of the towers, the prevailing on-shore Gulf breeze is funneled into the path of the turbines, helping to create power generation efficiency.Once operational, the wind turbines will deliver approximately 11-15% of the energy needs of the building, or 1100 to 1300 megawatt-hours per year — enough to provide light in 300 homes for over a year.

TEMPOHOUSINGThis might be a tempo solution, but it is definitely not a temporary housing. Those very ugly 20ft/40ft containers that we see around Dubai causing huge traffic, could be turned into a beautiful habitat spaces with a minimum time to construct & budget. The brochure shows the many applications that we can use it in our upcoming new Dubai. With labour camps over populates, and Mirdif/Jumaira guys are paying 250% more than the market because they “Bachlors” in a family only property. This might be the solution (more…)

New Island in Russia

It seems like Russia (which is the biggest country in the world) tries to compete with Dubai (United Arab Emirates) in unique construction projects. Before the building of artificial skiing resort had been finished (the similar one stands in UAE), Russian government has presented to the public the model of artificial island that will be raised from the Black Sea waters near Sochi coast in 2014, towards the opening of the Olympic Games. It is no no wonder that the island will be called “The Federation” - its shape will resemble the whole country in miniature. 

Another project which looks similar to the ones that we have in the backyard.
