I heard about that on the news today. Sweet. Too bad our country isn't cranking out the architectural marvels like we use to. Makes me feel like we've lost our edge.

We haven't lost our edge, we've just outsourced it.

:cry

Not only have we lost it, but we can't afford it even if we had it.

If only Frank Lloyd Wright was still around.

While this building is stunning and gorgeous, there's nooooooo way I would get in it. On paper, I'm sure all the layout and schematics makes sense, but I just don't trust how it would actually function. It may be one of those things that's fine for a bit, but then somewhere, within all the moving parts, a weakness develops, and then *CRASH**....the whole thing comes down!

Why can't we just be happy with the magnificence of our natural world? We always have to try to outdo the world around us. tsk tsk tsk

It's like the Contemporary Resort in Disney World. The idea was to build an A-frame, and all the rooms could be inserted and removed with a giant forklift from the outside. It worked for a while but once the foundation settled, the building shifted and all the rooms got wedged into the frame becoming irremovable.

OMG! See!! I'm not just a chicken-shit~there's good reason for my fear!

And weren't they actually building up the land in Dubai for all this crap? I hope this structure isn't going on one of the man-made land masses.........I wouldn't go within a 1/2 a mile of that structure if this was the case!
