Kind of cool but I prefer engineers creating these structures rather than architects.

Also, what's going to happen to Dubai when the oil boom ends?

They'll settle for being a favorite tourist and business destination for Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Being Las Vegas, Atlanta, Houston, Miami, and Orlando for 4 billion people isn't a bad economic base.

1. Some architects are equally engineers.

2. Dubai has shifted most of its income away from oil revenue and delving into more of financial operations, free trade, and tourism.
