I dunno, that entire area looks so ugly, the symmetry and generic copy and past structures and overall design theme are just off-putting. The giant roads that go everywhere are an ugly color too and it just feels so plain. [video=youtube;bcuAw77J8_Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcuAw77J8_Y[/video]

I once knew a dude from Azerbaijan as I was living in Germany. He was expelled from school in the second week.

I wonder what would happen to all the pretty glass on their skyscrapers if the entire middle east got hit by a giant sandstorm that stretched for thousands of miles.
Gotta love all these tall buildings on fault lines...
Lucky arabs and all the money they get from all the oil they have.
Damn jihadist muslim scumbags blew up the WTC towers and are now building their own! Quick! Launch the missiles!

It's a pretty looking building, but from all the places, Azerbaijan?

Why would they want to build it in Azerbaijan?
I live in Azerbaijan and I'm pretty sure it is never going to happen. They come up with new futuristic shit every month and I have yet to see one of them work.
Azerbaijan is just sad that they are never mentioned in the news ever.
[QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;34634393]All of your bones would be broken and you'd be turned to jelly. At that height, the surface tension of water is just as hard as concrete.[/QUOTE] It would be the speed and not the height here.
I wonder if we'll be alive when it's finished.
This building seems to suit my (theoretical) suicide plans well I am going to go to the tallest building, and ride a mountain bike down the side
[QUOTE=crackberry;34645598]Why would they want to build it in Azerbaijan?[/QUOTE] Where else would they build it?
I thought Azerbaijan was a really horrible, poor country where you had to dodge tribal's AK-47 fire at breakfast. Guess i was wrong. [editline]11th February 2012[/editline] [quote] Azerbaijan has reached a high level of human development, economic development, standard of living, and literacy as well as a low rate of unemployment and intentional homicide compared to other Eastern European and CIS countries.[23][24][25][26][27][28] [/quote] Yeah i'd better stop making fun of it. Seems like a boss country.

[QUOTE=XanaToast.;34634380]the place on the 3D render type map looks like something from anno 2070 or Brink[/QUOTE] More like SimCity
I wonder why won't anyone wealthy build a huge city, then bring the poor to it and give them a house and a job. I don't think you need to spend that extra €990,000,000,000 on yourself.
holy mother of god that looks so freakin awesome
Still waiting for citadel 17
