It's probably old news! But I just heard of...
Did you ever thought to look to that amazing construction from the back, that's from the sea facing the land? You might be surprised...
The story says that this amazing building which was designed by Tom Wright of WS Atkins PLC, the world was told that it was built to resemble a sail, however after the tower was finished and everything was paid and settled, Mr. Wright, a Christian British architect, made a statement! which started as a private statement to fellow colleagues and friends, but later it came out and was all over the internet, it's in fact a shocking statement I would say to some especially that this tower is widely considered to be Dubai’s most important landmark.
The statement says that he, intentionally that's, had built what he referred to as " The Largest Christian Cross in the Muslim World", it was said that he wanted to have some sort of a Christian influence in a Muslim country, and it seems Dubai was the choice!
The funny thing is, that after this was discovered, Saudi Arabia prohibited cars coming from UAE to enter the country, that's because the old car plates in UAE had a picture of the tower on them!
In anyway, till this moment! The architect himself didn’t deny nor approve this conspiracy theory! but, even if looked like a cross! Does it matter much!!
I'm sure the answer is relative as well, and all opinions are respected.
Cheers
