Burj Khalifa and that tower from Shanghai look OK, but why is that building from Mecca so ugly? I mean, WTF?

Honestly pathetic

How the fuck does a lightpole count?

The building on its right is clearly taller if you include its lightpole.

Because Saudis have no taste and love tacky things.

May as well move to the Moon and build it there. I think it would be a heck of a lot cheaper lol.

>>66226212
It really is pathetic.
I was hoping they would have made two of them @ 550 meters, with the roof being 550 meters, not the freakin' spire.

Isn't Mecca supposed to be sacred? Why are they trying to make bustling sky scrapers and shit?

Samsung built the Burj Khalifa... Can't wait for it to explode.

Indeed it is.
>Why are they trying to make bustling sky scrapers and shit?
In their defense, it's mainly to accommodate the growing number of people who come during the Hajj pilgrimage.
The Abraj complex is meant to be like a hotel/shopping/etc place, which is why it has such a ridiculous floor area.

so only 11% of ur country is ur actual people? what kind of meme country is that

>>66226498
Yes, it's utilitarian but c'mon.
Isn't Mecca suposed to be the ultimate holyground for muslims?
He could have built something along the line of the cube. A great geometric and yet minimalistic building. Something more spiritual

>>66226527
It's appereance, it looks like someone wanted to have something big and shiny without taking into account the aesthetics/proportions of it

Heh... they should call it the United Milk of America, amirite?

the building basically looks like a gold watch

>>66226542
Emiratis have really small penises, so their women invite men from all over the world to fuck them. Their current favorites are Indian men.

>>66226599
idk if the comparison is apt. the indigenous didn't create america. america was created by europeans, for europeans, by pushing the indigenous off of their lands and then building stuff in their wake.

Honestly, I'm surprised to read this. This building looks like some totall mish-mash of various styles and forms, also - I would expect that the most sacred Islamic site has some buildings related to traditional Arabic architecture, while this building looks like an uglier brother of the Empire State Building or those Soviet scyscrapers built by Stalin, pic related

>>66226542
America cucked by euro/spics
Europe cucked by Arab/pakis
Arabia cucked by poos/jungle chinks

>>66226681
I thought the two were based upon each other

Empire State > Stalin > Arabshit

>>66226575
Hmm, I guess.
I'm not a huge fan of the building's design, either.
As a matter of fact, I kinda wish they didn't build anything modern, but if it's gonna make the pilgrimage easier then what can you do.

Yeah I was joking.
But on a serious note, that's population, not citizens.
Only Emiratis can be citizens. Everyone else is just an expat.
>>66226657

>>66226669
Nothing. We have enough oil for the next 150 years, and by then, we'd have enough shit done to be completely off oil. We're in the process of building a number of oil-free cities as we speak.
>>66226681
I get where you're coming from. The Burj Khalifa, for example, was partially inspired off of an old Middle Eastern tower, which is why they put in the curves (it's also to combat winds at high altitudes).

>>66226722
Not true. We haven't cucked anyone.

Yemen is an honorary member since they have these cool mini-skyscrapers from the 1400's.

Yes, you are right, but I think that this building in Mecca is more similar to that "MID" in Moscow, or maybe to the "MGU" (pic related), than to the Empire State Building, what is even more strange, because these Stalin's buildings were symbols of victorious atheistism
>>66226776
>The Burj Khalifa, for example, was partially inspired off of an old Middle Eastern tower, which is why they put in the curves (it's also to combat winds at high altitudes).
yes, exactly, the Burj Khalifa is an example of good architecture combining modern technology and consequent aesthetics

We also have this Stalin's "gift" in Warsaw and some people want to destroy it, because it's seen as ugly, at least that's one of their reasons.
