Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

but what about the water? does this building have a desal plant all of it’s own? they use an enormous amount of energy, i’d imagine a lot more than could be generated on the roof.

and i worry about who builds these buildings, there have been some really disturbing reports of Indian and Pakistani workers being treated like slaves to build these shimmering towers of wealth. it ain’t sustainable of you don’t pay your workers a living wage.

still, let’s hope this is another small step in the right direction.

lots of great eco-friendly elements and precesses that the completed building includes.
I just hope that the building process and material selection reflects this commitment to sustainability, making it a truly remarkable structure.
