Masdar City Ariel Fly Through

Whatever they are, there is nothing holding them up.

those aren't roofs, those are the over head panels that look like leaves that collect solar energy from above and moisture from below.

Yeah I think the Japanese will build one sooon

Needs a middle-eastern theme or it will be just like another Japanese city.

hopefully those are solar panel trains. :)

where can you find this animation in an better quallity? would be great for my presentation ;)

I am living in Abu dhabi ... I noe about this project and i have owned the residence in Masdar

The animation was great, looks like it took a lot of work. The editing was fantastic, and it told the story of the place quite well. A few critiques... The leaves blowing past the wind mill are going the wrong direction. Those PRT vehicles should be running in a track way, not on the open road. The trains have no overhead wires or apparent power source underneath. The roofs of some of your buildings are floating about 10 feet above the top of the walls.

excellent project! Amazing to see how the UAE will be the first to build a fully economical city using renewable energy. A++

Don#t think it be ready before 2012 though.

Just saw this video at a Ch2mhill-OMI project manager meeting. Good Job.

but we have hell working hours... working round the clock.. 7 dayas a week.. and 3 hours sleep every day!

Im really excited about this. They're planning on opening this up in 2009. It's in partner with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). To be a part of Masdar, you must apply directly at MIT, which they have a committee which goes through the applications. Im really hoping to get in. Good work! This city holds a lot of promise in my view.

Thanks for the vid. :)

wow! thats real cool/ how long did it take to make?!

grats to foster+partners..great work:)
