An architect wants to build an underwater tennis court in Dubai

[jakeXT]

A Polish architect by the name of Krysztof Kotala has released designs for an audacious project with his design firm, 8+8 Concept Studio: a tennis facility located entirely underwater just off the coast of Dubai, where spectators could choose to watch the games below them, or the sea life above them through a massive glass dome.

Why Dubai? Well, Kotala says, “(The court) should be something where there is the tradition of tennis. Dubai is perfect for this idea.”

Dubai, which is notorious for superlative construction, is already home to the world’s highest tennis court, atop the Burj al Arab skyscraper. The proposed location for Kotala’s’s project (probably one of the world’s lowest tennis courts) is just next door:

1. This could create

some interesting shadows on the court!

3. What worries me is that all the fish look about 30 feet long

And there appears to be a 40 foot mutant sea slug resting on the roof.

I'm a bit confused by the "130 24 98" score for a tennis match too.

All in all, I think the 'architect' is probably a Bond villain in disguise. Maybe the red '10:00' isn't the time of day, but the countdown for the inevitable nuclear bomb?

5. "Do you except me to serve Dr Kotala?" "No, I expect you to die, Mr. Bond!"

4. sounds like the premise for a 1970's disaster movie. nt
