I have always been interested in tall, big, beautiful, innovative, or unusual buildings of all kinds. That building and complex fits some of those criteria. I also find it interesting in how these buildings get built. Maybe 20 years ago, PBS had a 10 episode series on building a particular skyscraper in New York. The building itself was nothing special, but it was 60 stories tall, so it was a big project. It had everything from financing it, procuring the land, designing/engineering it, dealing with various contractors, and all the problems that came up during the whole process. It was kind of like "This Old House" but for skyscrapers and it was my favorite show at the time. It was a reality program for architects...lol. I thought I would post this video. To be honest, it would be far more impressive to see it in at least 4K on a large screen rather than a computer monitor. Still the images are almost Star Wars like in what a modern city can be. I would love to go there just to see it in real life. Dubai, United Arab Emirates 12K HDR 60fps Dolby Vision

Dubai has unlimited funds and uses amazingly creative architects. Plus, no one seems concerned about murdering a butterfly, minnow, or spider during and after construction. No lawsuits. The Dubians and engineers just go for at the construction sites.
