The proposed Ras al Khaimah Convention and Exhibition Centre in the UAE has a very similar resemblance to the famous Death Star. It was designed by Rem Koolhaas and Reinier de Graaf as part of their collaboration with OMA. The sphere plans to hold a convention center, hotel rooms, apartments, offices and retail space all under its magnificent roof and make the people inside have a one of a kind experience.

Wow that is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
George Lucas would be very happy for something like that to happen!
that would cost an absolute bomb to make :P reckon they take republic credits :D
I would pay a lot of money to live in the deathstar. Only question is, what would health and safety do about the giant laser?
Sweet Jesus. I want
That needs to happen.
this would be awesome. Sweet blog!
that is so cool, i love star wars
SWEET RL Deathstar!!!
I love star wars, best thing ever!
Good blog!
As long as there's no super laser, I'd totally visit!
These futuristic mass housing/town ideas that I've seen have all been pretty interesting, japan is gonna need em.
This is so beautiful. I want to live there.
What an awesome waste of money. Would be so badass haha - very intriguing design.
Loving the blog, followed.
awesome idea!
Koolhaas is pretty famous. Holland represent.
I'm afraid the death star will be quite operational by the time your rebel friends get here. :) Awesome.
Looks less evil now with trees!
The Truth About Genetics
Just discovered your blog but I'm loving it. George lucas will like the money incoming from that to his pocket!
You have a new follower sir!
God, I hope this happens.
If this doesn't happen, then... their lack of faith disturbs me!
that looks really cool :D
i would check in there ^^
+1
thats just bloody awesome!
these places have been possible for 50 years now. Civilization is ruined thanks to gov't
hahaha wtf, the guy that thought that it would be a decent project was probably baked out of his mind.
Sometimes I hate looking at concept architecture - it makes me sad that the chances of actually seeing it built are slim to none!
This will probably be much more feasible when we got fusion power and contruction nano bots that can extract CO2 directly out of the air. The world will be amazing.
Something tells me that there is more to it lol. I'm feeling conspiratorial today.
That should be interesting. Must be nice being that rich.
i want one so bad :D
thats crazy as hell. i like all the plants inside
The Death Star is huge. It would be awesome it they build it, but being a copyrighted deal it probably wont happen.
This sounds great, very unique.
Good job, supported!
COOOOL!!! =D
In Antiochus and his daughter you have heard Following!
that's pretty awesome...i hope it gets built
That looks epic o;
looks amazing.
awesome content. +following
If they end up building it I hope they don't make the same architectural mistake as in the movie.
I'd rather they made an actual deathstar
nice
Darth Vader would be proud... except for the plants :P
ElliotGreen: He will happily sue the creators alright. :/
Looks pretty cool.
As...different...as the base idea for creating it is, if it were built it would definitely be a thing of wonder.
I hope I'll be rich enough to enact all my fantasies one day.
So where is the thermal exhaust port on this one?
it's so cool
will this be build via naming rights? the verizon death star?
I remember seeing this a while ago and being completely stunned. But yeah, they'll figure out a way to make it work.
Dude, that thing looks so freakin' cool.
My god FUND IT!
