NxtUp...Architecture
Ugh! (Posted a over year ago)
Under construction in Mecca, the Abraj Al Bait Towers. What was the inspiration for that monstrosity? Batman's Gotham city? What is with that clock? Will it be the biggest clock in the world? Click on image to enlarge.
UPDATE: I take back the comment. The tower is very cool.
It looks as if it is a set from a movie.
The first pic shows a plan of development already in action that expects the construction, actual in the neighborhoods of the "Ka'drink" (sp.)

I think the clock got dropped from the design. About half the images on the internet of the building show it without a clock.
ReplyDeleteClock is still in design and height has been increased. For more information, check the following link http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=334299

ReplyDeletelooks a lot nicer... a fantasy.

ReplyDeleteIt may be a free masonic/satanic oblisque!
ReplyDeletesatan has been trying to divert attention from the biggining!
Mecca needs more buildings like that, the land is limited due to surrounding mountains, and number of visitors are in millions.Hope the other major projects (on hold)there start construction.
