Great site. I mean it. I explored every bit. I am curious, however... have ALL of these plans been approved? Like the Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Center? I'll be checking for updates!

Hi muck, thanks for your reply!

Most of the projects on the site so far are either approved or already under preparation/construction. This exludes the Dubai City Tower which is unsurprisingly only a visionary proposal.

The Paris Pyramid and The Constellation so far are only proposals.

The Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Center has been widely announced as being part of the masterplan for the cultural district of Saadiyat Island. Not sure if it has been given a final approval and I haven't seen news on the project recently but unless it will be cancelled it is expected to be built.

Well, I assumed that the Dubai City Tower was a vision, but what a vision!
I did get the impression that the Paris Pyramid had been approved, although I'm not sure it strikes me as something I would expect to see constructed in Paris.
I am curious as to whether or not you are familiar with "Paris in the Twentyfirst Century" by Jules Verne. I need to relocate that book to see if Verne predicted anything like that Pyramid, as he did predict the Paris Metro.
Once again, great site!

It might well be approved, I'm not sure. It's definitely controversial in the city. I think it would be better placed in La Defense.

No, I haven't heard of that book yet. Vernes was an amazing visionary!

Thanks for stopping by again
