Comments on: James Law’s Technosphere is an Eco Deathstar for Dubai http://inhabitat.com/james-laws-technosphere-is-a-benign-deathstar-for-dubai/ Green design & eco innovation for a better world Wed, 22 May 2013 16:54:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: clippernolan http://inhabitat.com/james-laws-technosphere-is-a-benign-deathstar-for-dubai/comment-page-1/#comment-233017 clippernolan Thu, 17 Jun 2010 17:34:44 +0000 http://www.inhabitat.com/?p=68911#comment-233017 I think ericharper has a point - that sustainability should be in the context of how it can potentially apply to the wider world. Still, I like stories of innovation, even if the word 'Dubai' tends to kill credibility for me most times. As Gibson said, 'the future is here, it's just not evenly distributed'. So, one never knows Cheers for the post.

For one, it's in Dubai. Two, it's just to me a tremendous misuse of valuable building materials. I know Inhabitat is about design and cutting edge concepts, but you have to inject reality into what you determine to put on your site. It's not just about starchitecture, it's about true sustainability and truly good ideas. I’m sorry, I just don’t see how something like this can ever be sustainable. For one, it’s in Dubai.
