That being said, this is retarded.

Next week, Dubai builds the worlds' largest and shinyest inhabitable toaster.
The building is nothing really but mediocre, if not unattractive. Giving it a contrived "record" is just a sign of desperation imo.

Shouldn't this thread be moved to the construction forum? It looks like it's moved well beyond the "proposed" phase.

I don't see what the big deal is. Its obviously not meant to be functional. Skyscrapers are allowed to put up useless spires but they can't put up a sundial design because its in Dubai.
