It actually fits the area.
Its in Vauxhall, which was a brownfield industrial area until recently, so the whole area is all luxury flats and inprogress skyscrapers right now.

Pic related is the MI6 headquarters, about 5 minutes away from the US embassy for example

Walking distance from MI5 and MI6. Cute :3

The US Embassy in El Salvador is among the biggest in the continent. It is quite literally a fortress.

Legend has it that it was build on Indian land and they are continuously spooked by the restless souls of my ancestors. Take that, gringos!

Depends on the zone you visit, honestly.
The most "touristy" ones are kept clean, while the areas around the train station, or residential zones are pure filth
>>

it seems like most euro train stations attract filth

I was almost mugged by an arab outside Brussels midi station when I was in belgium, this was with armed police walking around in broad daylight too

>>77398746
the only real problem in Rome would be the gypsies.
Just don't let any filthy-looking kid get behind you near enough to touch your pants pockets and you'll be fine.
Also the military and police have been for a few years costantly patrolling the stations, which is good.

Glass is great because it complements the functionality of erecting a huge tower. You get an amazing view, and surrounding it with glass ensures that the view is as big as possible.

The main demerit of glass is that you obviously can't do much with it. Flat panels or bust, and adhering things to glass, while doable, is a risky proposal.
Nondescript glass cubes are the perfect balance for someone who wants to maximize the usability of a plot of land by taking advantage of verticality, while minimizing cost because they're ``poorfags'' without vision. Building a complex spire that looks like DNA is obviously going to be extremely complicated and will require more engineer time and more construction time.

They're building a new one here too, after the one in The Hague got too small and couldn't be secured properly. They chose to build it in Wassenaar which pretty much has the most expensive property prices in the country

This pic just shows 2 of the 6 buildings, it's basically a whole campus. Funnily enough they shipped in the contractor from the US, but they ended up letting Turks and Romanians do all the work. So despite all muh secrecy, hundreds of T*rks and R*manians now know all the ins and outs of the new buildings
