Bad Construction

Many more images here. Most are from Russia. Once again, people, this is what socialism gives you.

Crazy Dubai

Some really amazing and weird buildings going up in Dubai.

Including the world’s two tallest buildings.

Some of these buildings will be wind powered, which is fascinating.

I really think the UAE government is smart to make Dubai this center of the Mid East. Aside from being a moderate country, making a Mid-East destination an attraction in the region that’s stable and beautiful is something the rest of the Arab world needs to think about emulating, and get away from these stone age polices they’ve been having.

Floating City 2000

When I was in high school, I used to design futuristic cities. These were the days before compute games like Sim City.

I used to imagine how the city would function, how to make it work better than a normal city and so on. It was fun, but now I realize how off I was in some of my ideas. Kind of like this imagined futuristic floating city. It’s more of an Arcology than a city, But it’s kind of cool in that retro way.

It’s funny how similar it looks to the arcology exaqmple picture on that Wikipedia article.
