The Burj Khalifa is a mostly empty phallic symbol. It has no purpose other than to represent oil money. It’s not even esthetically pleasing



It’s certainly there to show off wealth but I like the design of it and the the look of this thin massive tower rising from the flatness of the desert. I also thing it fits in well with the other surrounding buildings and by and large Dubai has a nice cohesive style unto itself.

bullshite. Better than having another "where to live in Baton Rouge", or "what's the trashiest city in Louisiana" thread for the millionth time.

I find the Burj Khalifa quite pleasing... makes me wonder how the rival tower in Saudi is coming along.

As for the question, most modernist or brutalist Western skyscrapers are boring at best if not hideous. Just plain boxes with no attempt at style or substance.

I love cylindrical towers like that West Bank hotel.

Not quite the same, but we used to have this in Atlanta:



They imploded it. I miss it.

How you gonna hate on St Judes? That's literally the only redeeming feature of Memphis.

Just WOW! I came in this thread to post this exact damn building...Good call

No. 2 on my list would be that atrocious red CNA Building that just ruins the skyline of Chicago.
