gotta love designers on mother fucking crack and way ahead of their time, make a bridge from europe to africa is a nice idea but we have any material known to man yet that could cant up to the natural damages mother nature puts on us.

The same company that brought us The Palm Islands, Al Nakheel Properties (Nakheel Corp), have done it again expanding their portfolio of man-made islands with this latest Dubai island project shaped like the continents of the world. The World will consist of between 250 to 300 smaller private artifical islands divided into four categories - private homes, estate homes, dream resorts, and community islands. Each island will range from 250,000 to 900,000 square feet in size, with 50 to 100 metres of water between each island. The development is to cover an area of 9 kilometers in length and 6 kilometers in width, surrounded by an oval shaped breakwater. The only means of transportation between the islands will be by marine transport.

Construction has begun on the $US 1.8 billion project which is set to be completed by the end of 2005. It will be located 4 kilometers off the shore of Jumeirah, close to the The Palm Jumeirah, between Burj Al Arab and Port Rashid of Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Each island will be sold to selected private developers and are expected to have pricing beginning at Dhs. 25 million (US$ 6.85 million).

Here is an interesting article on http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence...ridgemain.html
about the Gibraltar bridge. It would be 9 miles long and connect Spain to Morocco.

**wildgirl** · 08-15-2005, 08:47 AM

**BlueDesignStudios** · 08-15-2005, 02:11 PM

wow pretty cool.. I love watching tv programs on the engineering / design of those structures, it's amazing how people bring a dream to life!

**woj** · 08-15-2005, 02:12 PM

**JuiceMonkey** · 08-15-2005, 03:20 PM

**tristan_D** · 08-15-2005, 04:46 PM

The Gibraltar Bridge looks very scary. I don't think I can drive through it.

**StickyGreen** · 08-15-2005, 09:30 PM

"the world" seems so artificial to me...i don't like that shit. it's like creating new pieces of earth that weren't really there. good shit for the owners they're probably gonna make a killing but it's still just weird to me...

**jmk** · 08-15-2005, 09:37 PM

crazy stuff!
