Инфинити тауър Инфинити тауър (на английски: Infinity Tower) е небостъргач в процес на строеж, намиращ се в Дубай, ОАЕ. Очаква се да бъде завършен през 2009 година и със своите 80 етажа и 330 метра височина ще бъде най-високата сграда с 90-градусово усукване, построявана някога. Строежът е започнат през Февруари 2006 година, а по-късно претърпява инцидент когато една стена се срутва и цялата строителна площадка бива наводнена. Работата е подновена през Юли 2008. Усукването е идентично с това на небостъргачът Търнинг Торсо в Малмьо, Швеция. Всеки етаж е завъртян с 1.2 градуса, като по този начин се постига пълно 90-градусово усукване и сградата придобива формата на винтова линия. Инфинити Тауър ще прелага жилищни апартаменти, конферентни зали, тенис кортове, басейни, фитнес зала, спа и др. [редактиране] Наводнението Строежът на сградата бил спрян за година и половина, след като на 7ми Февруари 2007 година стената, която го отделя от Дубай Марина се пропукала и сторителната площадка се наводнила.[1] Снимки показващи наводнението: [редактиране] Външни препратки - Официалният сайт, достъпен на арабски и английски - Сайт на изпълнителите на проекта - Статия на тема наводнението - Снимки на мястото след наводнението

Cayan Tower Cayan Tower, known as Infinity Tower prior to its inauguration, is a 306 metres (1,004 ft), 80 story skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates by Cayan Real Estate Investment and Development. The tower is designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill SOM architectural group, the same group who did the concept design for the Burj Khalifa also in Dubai and Trump Tower in Chicago. Upon its opening on 10 June 2013, the tower has become world's tallest high rise building with a twist of 90 degrees. Contents Design[edit] Cayan Tower is designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and its development is carried out by property development company CAYAN. Cayan Tower's apartments are designed with wooden floors, marble counter tops, and kitchen fixtures. The tower also includes a five story parking garage behind it.[4] The Cayan Tower has house financing options available for those residents who may want to lease out their weekend or holiday condo. The rooms of the tower are designed in such a way that it wouldn't be affected by direct sunlight due to titanium metal panels on cast-in-place concrete columns aided with repetitive staggered screen panels to stop penetrating sunlight from disturbing the residents of the unit. Site flooding[edit] The tower's construction was on hold for a year and a half after the foundation site of the tower was flooded when the wall that held back the Dubai Marina was breached on 7 February 2007.[5][6] Witnesses described a loud cracking sound, followed by an inflow of sand and water. The project resumed construction in July 2008. Official launch ceremony[edit] The Cayan Tower was inaugurated with fireworks accompanied with laser light display on the tower on 10 June 2013 and become the world's tallest twisted tower, surpassing Turning Torso.[7][8] The tower was renamed from Infinity Tower to Cayan Tower as the developer of the tower said: There are more than one tower with the name Infinity and we wanted something different, We are very attached with this unique project and it was a very conscious decision we took. We know there won’t be any Cayan Tower in the world and this will be the only one.
