The Boom is Over

Just now went to a forum and i saw a link all about architecture...
So i clicked on this...
And there's really a lot of new things to look at...
And this is the one that caught my attention...
Cause recently i heard my sis said that Dubai is now just like a bubble...
Due to the economic crisis...
And i also just told my friend this afternoon...
And now i saw the articles...

Amongst many, many signs that the building boom has come to an end, from gridlocks of cars abandoned at the Dubai airport by fleeing workers to massive holes in the urban surface of Chicago, to entire architectural firms going out of business, to delayed towers and theme parks on pause, none seem quite as explicitly apocalyptic as the sight of OMA's CCTV complex – that is, the part of it known as TVCC, containing a luxury hotel – roaring with flames.
The boom ended long ago, but its icon are now on fire.


I'm lazy to copy the picture and post it up here...
If interested can click on the link ba...

My new sem is just so so...
But i know it gonna be a very rush and tiring semester...
Cause seems like we're going to complete 14weeks stuff in 7weeks...
So just get myself well-prepared ba..=)
