The Ryugyong Hotel. They stopped constructing it in the 80's due to monies reasons or something. And it was just a blot on the landscape.

And the Koreans were like...

Well in 2008 they started building it again, and...

It looks pretty damn good.

Too bad it'll probably end up getting precariously close to a U.S made ball of sunshine if the Northies continue going about their ways and such, but yeah... North Korea eh...

Anyway I just felt like making a thread, fuck you guys if you don't appreciate architecture

It reminds me of a rollercoaster.

"Recently, the North Koreans have started installing glass panels on the concrete shell of this 105-storey hotel which had been abandoned for 16 years after construction stopped in 1992. An Egyptian firm, the Orascom group, has ventured to restore the hotel. Pyongyang watchers, however, have some doubts about it. It is difficult to imagine why a foreign investor should want to waste his money on this folly. Orascom also helped the North Koreans to launch a third generation mobile phone network which was proudly inaugurated some months ago. Maybe the reconstruction of the hotel was the price they had to pay for some more profitable operations in Korea."

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.

Lets hope they didn't cut any corners in building materials like most totalitarian states which want a symbol to prove how great they are. Luckily it's a triangle.

It's an okay looking building really. Much better than some of the shit that's gets passed off as architecture 'round here. You should see our shitty Supreme Court. You should see the proposal for our fucking airport.

I remember watching a news report on it. They were polling pedestrains. 13% said they liked it, 42% said they didn't like it, 45% said "is this a joke?"

It's MEANT to be rocks but yeah, it looks like a couple of Pumpkins.
Terrible, terrible design.

What the hell? I remember that thing got a, for the love of god do not enter since this could collapse-stamp on it since it was constructed totally wrong. So apparently some mirrors on it is gonna make the construction problems go away. I wouldn't step on the yard of that building. At first I thought this was shopped by Kim dong Ill but apparently it isn't. Wonder when Hotel Doom is gonna collapse?
