So it looks like Dubai is approaching its Po-Mo phase, Philip Johnson beware! In an almost deferential move, there is a new building slated for construction that looks like a Turbine (see this post at Inhabitat). Instead of going the Masdar route and building a building that generates its power, this building just refers to the shape of turbines as a way of co-opting the green building trend and making it a design statement. In place of power generation, the "turbine" will generate spectacular views of the desert mirage that is Dubai for the dinners in its floating restaurant.
