Burj Dubai lights up on night before its opening; Hugh Ferriss would like this <\/font><\/p>\n

January 03, 2010<\/p>\n

Somewhere, perhaps in the very small section of heaven where last, great architectural renderers go, Hugh Ferriss is smiling.<\/p>\n

Hugh Ferriss, you see, was the great architectural of the early 20th Century. In the 1920s, his visionary drawings of mountainlike skyscrapers helped popularize what became known as the "setback style."<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the drawings showed spotlights knifing into the sky behind Art Deco skyscrapers (below). The images were so powerful that they inspired actual buildings–or, more accurate, their architects–to follow Ferriss’ example.<\/p>\n

Well, if you’ve looked at my colleague Kuni Takahashi’s spectacular photo of the Burj Dubai here in Dubai tonight–on the eve of its formal opening tomorrow–you know where I’m heading.<\/p>\n

The skyscraper’s spiraling setbacks are filled with laser nights that shoot into the air just like a Ferriss drawing. It’s as though the chief architect of the Burj Dubai, Adrian Smith, formerly with the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and now head of his own firm, had precisely this kind of image in mind when he designed the tower’s spiraling setbacks. Life continues to imitate art.<\/p><\/div>\n
