Modern Architecture - Water Drop Resort

Designed in the shape of a water droplet, the Water Building Resort will be the first building ever to convert air into water, using solar power energy. A sunny, southerly facing facade made of photovoltaic glass will harness solar energy, allowing light to pass through. The northern facade will contain a ventilation system that will convert humid air and condensation into pure drinking water.

The bottom floor will also house a water treatment facility for purifying salty sea and rain water, along with a center to control water quality.

As the Water Building Resort is a resort complex, guests will be able to enjoy restaurants, gyms, exhibition halls, hotel and conference rooms, spa services, and an underwater aquarium; all of which will be based on the theme of water, the environment and renewable energy.

Looks like something that would fit Dubai's cityscape. Where is this place going to be located?
