Saudi arabia and UAE could have beautiful, comfy looking cities like this but instead they build ugly generic glassboxes.why doesn't arabs appreciate beautiful architecture?unfortunatly i'm sure the only reason pic related (yemens capital) doesn't look like fuckng dubai is because of the lack of money
It’s because of an inferiority complex. They see the west as superior so try to copy it and see their own architecture as worthless.
>>217831355Glassboxes are cheap and easy to build. This is true everywhere.
>>217831612This. They live in deserts and can just use Efficiency V shovels to collect sand and make glass like in Minecraft
>>217831355but they got plenty of marble rocks tho. when I went to Mecca, their whole building inside out are made out of expensive looking (genuine) marbles, even in toilets, the marbles are covered up to their ceilings (rare in this country).
>>217831826Marble is consider very trashy menoid material here. The stereotypical middle-eastern household has white marble floor tiling + walls and silver decorations
>>217831355that doesnt look good bro
>>217832314It can be very beautiful if used with taste THOUGH
>>217832400This, dubai is easily one of the most beautiful cities in the world, you are just poor and tasteless who are obsessed with these outdated, primitive architecture abandoned by progress
>>217832763Dubai is completely soulless anon
>>217831355Riyadh? Dubai? No, this is Kashi, Xinjiang.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT-20Smu-kEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfiA--xRx3Q

>>217831355architecture in pic rel is actually suited for living in a hot desert. lots of shade and windglass boxes are the absolute worst you can do in hot climate, same with extremely wide streets and paving it all
>>217831355It's a cargo cult region with an inferiority complex and a lot of money.
>>217833013Think he was being sarcastic (not the other Israeli anon)Anyway Gulf Arabs are going for flex, not comfy or quaint, that's their whole vibe
>>217831355>Saudi Arabia could have been a beautiful, comfy cityAnd my grandmother could have been a bycicle.
