Dorobani_Tower_Bucharest.jpgHere is a skyscraper to interest the shoe-aholics of the world - Dorobani Tower in Bucharest, Romania.

Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, this 200m skyscraper will not only feature 35,000 sq m of luxury hotel stuff such as restaurants and spas, but also 4,600 sq m of shoe shopping space on its lower levels.

True shoe fetishists can even fork out for one of the apartments making up another 35,000 sq m of the building, because when you love something you just want to be near it.

Plans show an oblique diamond shaped tower that bulges in the middle and a patterned, mesh-like facade that changes at various levels. Behind some glazed areas are curved balconies, adding even more detail to the striking skyscraper.

Construction work was supposed to start in 2008 and be finished by 2013, but the tower is yet to be approved.
