In the early part of 21 and quickly became known as the era of Dubai. Erected many architectural projects in the world, the most exciting, breathtaking and stunning in a city that was little more than a desert outpost a decade ago. He was led to the insight to know that this natural resource essential, oil, and was in limited supply and chose to embark on rapid program to transform the emirate into the capital of the world to continue to thrive beyond the time when the world depends on fossil fuels.
Projects in Dubai, which is constantly looking for discrimination through excellence. For years, and saw the lovers of architecture and the Burj Dubai eagerly rose to the clouds. While the project has reached a high level of the sky, and another search in the depths of the Persian Gulf.
Hyrdropolis is a fantasy hotel beneath the waves. This is inspired by the tale of a submarine Hotel Jules Verne 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It is an oasis under the water where visitors can marvel at the architecture surrounding them, and beyond the seas.
The project is divided into three sections. "Earth Station" is the complex where visitors are 1. A large building with a roof that dips and rolls like the top of a wave. From there, people walk in the tunnel to begin their journey to the hotel, in and of itself. Tunnel 1700 feet long and carries the train under the land and sea alike. On the one hand, and of course, is the hotel itself. Simulate natural forms, shaped like a group of bubbles and curves designed to provide maximum resistance against the pressure of sea water, as well as hurricane can sometimes be engaged in this field. This has been compared with the jellyfish alike, and sea turtles. The hotel features a pair of domes that allow control and an expansive view of the water and the creatures that live in it. They are large enough to break above the waves, one has a retractable roof allowing surrounded by people on the ocean while looking directly into the sky.
From the surface, and the hotel has the appearance of an atoll of artificial circular future with the barrier of low height just above the waves. Within this ocean is the infrastructure such as a shell with curving surfaces in the home in the sea. It is clear that such projects do not come easily. The building has been moving in fits and starts and is currently on hold. It is not known what is the difficulty, or when in the end of the project begins
This is not the world's first underwater hotel. There is a smaller underwater hotel in Florida, and more underwater hotels are being designed and built around the world.The train is supposed to be able to transport 1,000 people at a time.
