Compare this design from Rem Koolhaas (OMA) for the RAK, a new research facility in Dubai, with the Death Star (Star Wars, remember ..). This is no coincidence - The Emperor is not amused!

Just take a look at this surreal image of the skyscrapers on the Sheikh Zayed Road - it’s the ‘Strip’ of Dubai - pointing trough the clouds. Incredible.

‘Restless Planet’, this will be the name of the ‘amusement park’ being build right now in Dubai, for the exorbitant pricetag of 1,1 billion dollar. Closer to Jurassic Park, you can’t get. Me likes a lot!
