Najveće gradilište na svijetu /<br />

The world’s biggest building site<br />

So after we complete this adventure in the new Arabic<br />

(consumerism) Mecca, we are still left with a question<br />

mark. Plenty of question marks, actually… There are<br />

numerous doubts: what kind of a system of values lies<br />

in (this amount of) systematic creation of an urban environment?<br />

Which aesthetical, and which ethical conclusions<br />

provoked Dubai to become what it is today,<br />

regardless of the completely transparent and justified<br />

reason, the emanation of something that may not be<br />

unique and unseen, but is certainly close to genius – the<br />

vision of the project’s founder, sheikh Al Maktoum. But<br />

just like in everything else, time will provide all the answers.<br />

It has the privilege of making a final ruling, which<br />

has been demonstrated as true on many occasions.<br />

Just like Paris was once shaped by Napoleon’s organic<br />

vision (and we know how greatly that city’s vision has<br />

aged), who knows? Maybe today’s healthy doubt<br />

and criticism of the contemporaries will eventually be<br />

prevailed by pure inspiration from “the great investor”,<br />

who wasn’t carrying any burdens of the profession and<br />

was simply led by pure inspiration, in a precisely determined<br />

historical moment and reason. That ruling will<br />

largely depend on one small detail. As was said at the<br />

beginning of this story, time must first give an answer to<br />

a slightly embarrassing, banal question: will Dubai survive<br />

the effects of global warming, or will it, much like its<br />

Hydropolis, become an underwater unit in the not-sodistant<br />

future?<br />
