Surreal



When completed next year, the world's tallest building will reach 900 meters!

Yes, that's 2,953 feet! 3/5ths of a mile up.

Part of a $20 billion downtown Dubai construction surge.

I guess it's nice to see where your gas dollars are going, if you can afford to fill up that is.

Well you have to fill up, or the tower to no where for no particular use just won't get done.

This is a massive disaster waiting to happen and frankly scares the bejeezus out of me. Wrong wrong wrong. Has no one ever seen Towering Inferno? Come on, people! Just because we can, doesn't always mean we should.

Haven't seen towering inferno but I don't see the problem. Isn't this just part of what we do? Isn't architecture art? Probably the longest lasting too.

It is a most beautiful sight and when those filthy apes take over after we blow ourselves up, they'll admire it and say those humans were awesome builders, too bad they couldn't get along....

Haha, well put Q. That is way too much money for a structure of that artistic appeal; defiantly no frank gehry. Damn those filthy apes..
