Truely incredible and insane. Especially the one in Mecca.

There was a time when the tallest buildings were the churches and cathedrals.

On the other hand, dollars are just "IOU nothing" bits of paper.

That is like porn for architects, I am not an architect so I didn't hang around long but what is up with THIS one ? They should call it the Escher building, CCTV Headquarters - pffft not very original are they!

The " Shanghai World Financial Center" looks like a giant bottle opener.
