Dubai is still creating its insanity - and it is ready to open at the end of this year. The "picturesque" skyscraper is essentially a huge gold-plated picture frame with an observatory that provides wonderful views of Dubai's skyline. 492-foot tall Dubai Frame is almost complete, though its designs are stuck in controversy.
The Dubai Frame will be located in the city's lovely Zabeel Park and is expected to attract around 2 million tourists annually. Currently construction is underway, however, there is a huge case of a huge skyscrapers. Architect Fernando Donis has filed an intellectual property claim against the Dubai Municipality, which states that the city has stolen its design.
Growing 150 meters from Dubai's Zabeel Park, "The world's largest picture frame" has been officially opened in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is known as the Dubai Frame, the structure is the latest in the city eye-catching megaproject, making panoramic views of the horizon while preparing the views of prestigious buildings such as the Burj Khalifa for visitors and residents across the city.
Two towers are connected to a bridge of 100 square meters, in which there is a 25-square meter glass panel that offers a spectacular 360-degree view.
Dubai's frame's outer design was inspired by the Expo 2020 logo.
After killing 900 other concepts, the design of Donis was selected as the winner of the International Design Competition, which was organized in 1998 by the Dubai Municipality and Thyssencrup Elevator. After winning the competition, the architect and city contract could not agree on the conditions for the construction of the building. Obviously, the city was not able to stop its design and its construction ahead of construction.
Almost a decade after the first proposal, visitors can now cover the bridge which is 9 3 meters long, in which the glass flooring paths and full-height scenes can be seen in the old town Deira and skyscrapers in the north. A Neon 'Whirlpool' tunnel towards the south of Sheikh Zayed Road will then bring the visitors to an interactive, augmented reality exhibition on the history and future of the city.
There is a museum on the ground floor that will show the change from the fishing village of Dubai to the metropolis.
The project is costing around Dhs160 million.
Working on the Dubai frames began in 2014. Although the current design is particularly shiny, this building is similar to the award-winning concept of Donis. Donis told CNN that the picture frame structure "is the same height, it is very wide, the location is exactly the same and the name is mine too."
So far, the Dubai Municipality has not yet responded to claims that it has violated intellectual property laws.
