Nothing against the building. It's interesting as a technical achivement and I would like to visit it. But don't show it as a muslim pride thing because it was designed by western architects using western science and technology. In fact many western countries could afford that, it is simply they don't want to waste money on an unuseful thing like this.

Not true, the builders may be from the local area. But the technology and architecture sure is from the Western world. Also western countries could afford, many of these towers. So that's just nonsense. (Well atleast.. a few countries in Europe could) But it is just more safe + less money to build smaller buildings. /fact

The building is obviously impressive, incredible, but I don't like the design or the oil money it represents, and if I had a few million dollars to buy an apartment anywhere in the world I wouldn't get one in that building! Would become awful riding a 100 story elevator every day and then having to drive miles from the building to get anywhere.

crash this building !

[p1eterp0st]

@HomeDelsGats nonsense, building a tower like this shows great accomplishment of a community, and it creates loads of jobs, as most builders are just from the area, and on top of that, I wouldn't be so sure that western countries could even afford such projects
