Why is no other country able to make an equivalent of the Burj Khalifa?
>>543375253It makes america look like the 3rd world shit hole that it is
>>543375253burj khalifa? is that mia's sister?
>>543375379Nah, all these ayrabs act like new money niggers. Actual generation wealth people often act quite humble, refined and down to earth.
>>543375253Dubai has the unique combination of white engineering genius, cheap brown workforce and Arab based politics to make it happen
nobody builds stubby anymore
>>543375253the huge log of shitta
>>543375527you forgot shitloads of oil money
>>543375253Because it is a waste of money and it looks even more retarded when the building density is so low in a city like Dubai
>>543375253Any country can build something like that ,just throw enough money at it an it will happen..most countries have other priories than building tall ass towers for no reason. The state build it iirc
>>543375527this and >>543375652 this too.dubai is impressive but also non-impressive at the same time. It's "developed" but not really a developed society. Or at least not one we would be comfortable with in the west
>*does retarded thing*>why don't you also do this retarded thing? is it because you don't know how? is it? is that why? it's because I am so much better than you, right? say it! come on, SAY IT Ugh
>>543375494burj khalifa and dubai mall right next to it were unironically though amazing investments that brought tons of wealth to dubai. the difference is they took the risk and were the first ones to do it. now everyone wants to try to copy them.
>>543375253Why compete with Arab chest-beating? It's empty but expensive vanity to impress their neighbor in the end. Just ignore them.
>>543375723Dubai doesn't have plumbing. The lines of the shit sucking trucks goes to miles. I really don't get why anybody thinks they're advanced when they don't have the simplest of infrastructure.
>>543375253is that the place where they have trucks pick up the sewage and deliver it to india?
Quick question, does that building generate revenue or are they still keeping it up at a loss? I know it cost several billion to build.
>>543375253they didn build shit canadian and german engineers built it and the saudi got that money selling over priced oil to the western countries while a few got extremely rich doing so all that because they betrayed the middle east and had Gadhafi and Hussein killed it's the same for Kuwait and Qatar
>>543375253because only browns and chinks build this sort of ostentatious monstrosities that are just complete money sinks. this building basically requires its own fleet of garbage trucks and water tankers
>>543375253>Burj KhalifaMore like the Burp Queefifa
>>543375809The muslim mind can't comprehend not being driven by pride and thus live in constant fear of having your "honor defiled" by not accepting every dumb competition just for the sake of competing to "defend your honor". Truly a pathetic species.
>>543375253does it have drone protection? asking for a friend.
Dubai's infrastructure was designed by European and American engineers and built by Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Filipino slaves. Any serious nation could build this.
>>543375253Not enough Pakistani slaves
>>543375494"Act" is the key word here
>>543375830>Dubai doesn't have plumbingthis is bullshit that has been discredited countless times. today, dubai has one of the most advanced sewer systems in the world.
>>543375253But saaar, India has built many buildings with no plumbing
>>543375253yeah european engineering is something great. now if muslims could build something as neat that would be pretty cool.
>>543375527It was designed by an American firm, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) of Chicago.The lead architect was Adrian Smith.Dubai has no engineering genius. Just a complete lack of shits to give about the economic reality of trying to fill the worlds tallest building with enough retail outlets and residents to make it profitable for the owners.This is why nobody else has seriously tried to build something like this again.Skyscrapers are dying.The Chrysler building is up for sale. The Willis Tower is up for sale.
>>543375253>makeArchitect - AmericanCivil engineers - AmericanConstruction wagies - SE Asians
>>543375253“Able” doesn’t factor into it, stupid. It’s a skyscraper. We taught those desert goatfuckers how to do it.
>>543375945pretty much this. it's still amazing to see dubai go from literal desert backwater village to global city in 50 years. But yeah, some of the impressiveness gets diminished when you consider those facts. Also all the oil money coming not only from Dubai but also its neighbor Abu Dhabi, which heavily bankrolled Dubai. Khalifa was the name of the ruler of Abu Dhabi, who stepped into infuse billions into Dubai when it hit big financial issues in the late 2000's.
>>543375908would the shit of an Ukrainian hooker kill an average bedouin if she shat from the top flor?
>>543376011Well that's just plain wrong...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CWb9CVPShM
>>543375253>most expensive building on the planet>still have to pump the shit out of the bottom with a truck because Dubai doesnt have a sewer systemTypical Arabs, making shit that looks flashy but without any practical function.>>543375494"My father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes, my son rides a land rover, his son will probably also ride a land rover, but his son will be back on a camel"Prime Minister of the UAE, 2014
>>5433752531 floor below the top observation deck called "At the Top" you can dine in at the restaurant called, get this, "At.mosphere" These ragheads are lyrical geniuses
>>543375847>canadian and german engineers built itLies from a leaf...Americans built it. Adrian Smith and Bill Baker.
>>543375890>this sort of ostentatious monstrosities that are just complete money sinkssoibois of your kind would have say the same things about cathedrals during the gothic erabuilding things that are big and impressive reflects the ambitiousness of a society. This is why no shit get built in the West
>>543375253Instead of building those glass-and-steel blocks, they should hire their own engineers and build in their own cultural style.
>>543375843>is that the place where they have trucks pick up the sewage and deliver it to india?UAE is stepping up its food export industry it seems kek. Impressive for a desert
>>543376316Cathedrals aren't built to function as part of the modern economy.Skyscrapers are.You're comparing two radically different things.The reason only Suadi Arabi is trying to overtake the Burj Khalifa is retarded vanity. Other nations aren't trying because they aren't retards who want to waste money on that sort of thing.It isn't because they can't do it, it's because there's no reason to.
>>543376316You can build impressive things once you've sorted everything else out and still have so much abundance that you can do that. Which is what europe did during the golden age of cathedrals. This is a bunch of insecure arabs trying to mimic that they have it all sorted out by putting all their money into building big things whilst ignoring the things that would actually need doing. It's the equivalent of those muslim families that live in a three bedroom apartment with nine kids and the three oldest sons share a leased mercedes because they think they can fool people into thinking they are rich.
>>543376403they do. Deira, Al Fahidi, and al seef all have traditional architecture and vibes. so people complain without knowing that dubai literally extensively renovated and built traditional neighborhoods. also many places in dubai definitely has a certain arabian aesthetic.
>>543376305it's wholly a Canadian project Wind Engineering NORRR Group GSM Project SACO Technologies Stantec william baker was the structural engineer plus his mentor was Jörg Schlaich a german
>>543375253Because arabs are willing to enslave pajeets instead of putting them CEOs, and also no BS regulations like you see in Europe or the west in general that hinder the work. Few pajeets died in the process of making it? Who fucking cares, keep pushing
>>543375253Why would anyone want to? It has no usecase.
>>543376606>architectural firm - Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) of Chicago>lead architect - Adrian Smith - AmericanWhy are you trying so hard to lie about easy to search facts? If a Canadian subcontractor was hired to test the wind loads of the American design then guess what? Canadians didn't design it.
I still don't understand how some chinese didn't build a bigger building for fun just to mog the shit out of emiratis
>>543376729calm down retard you know I'm right william baker is a good engineer he's himself very much a fan of german engineers without the putzmeister concrete pumps that whole place wouldn even exist since it's fake and man made to begin with so yeah german engineers still got a very big participation in the creation way more than the structural engineerask your llm about the name of William baker mentor anyway we can agree saudi didn build it at least?
>>543375253>able to makewhy would be? we wouldnt even see it from very far away either because our country isnt flatskyscrapers are a symptom of high land prices. building them for any other reason (i.e. just to "impress") is big nigger behaviourand BESIDES THAT. it looks absolutely fucking ugly as all hell
>>543377160>it was a 'wholly canadian project' because one of the americans that built it was influenced by a germanNo, you are wrong and the day of the rake can't come fast enough.
>>543375494>quite humble, refined and down to earthLMAO, no they don't.They're not braggadocious, but they're snooty as fuck and view anyone who isn't one of them the way you or I would view ghetto trash or a homeless person. The depictions you see in media that seem like cartoon caricatures are actually fucking real, you just don't know it because you don't live around them.
>>543375253big tower havethe poor have notwe simply don't have so unfair a society
>>543375527>cheap>workforceSlavery anon, slavery.
>>543377576you're not even american and your argument is dishonest
>>543375830Mutts really live in a propaganda state on par with North Korea holy shit
>>543375253because nobody cares
>>543375843It used to be that way, but ever since the strait of Hormuz closed, they haven't been able to send their daily oil tanker full of human sewage to India. This is good news for the sub-continental jeet slaves that reside in Dubai, now they get first dibs on it.
>>543375253Why don't you talk about the burj Khalifas plumbing problem that was never engineered correctly and that several sewage trucks have to manually drain the septic system every single day because the plumbing was just an afterthought when building this structure.
We spent five times the money of this so we can build a state of the art nuclear reactor so we can sell the electricity to Sweden and wherever while citizens pay the top dollar.This country is ran by scammers.
>>543377160Nothing wrong with lying, something very wrong with getting caught and trying to squirm your way out. Death to Canada.
>>543375253the climate gods won't allow it
>>543377916It's reality anyway even skidmore used the NORR group who did 90% of the actual work stop using an LLM and go fuck yourself in a corner Canada and Germany had a bigger impact on that construction and palm island even. muh subcontractor
>>543375846It's rather very profitable they already got their original investment back like a decade ago.
>no income tax>negligible consumption and corporate taxes>extremely safe and clean>booming real estate>cutting edge infrastructure>pleasant weather 24/7/365>cosmopolitan elite human capital population>permanent slave worker underclass with no rights that can be easily deported>political parties are completely bannedUAE won. Competent authoritarianism won. Democracy lost.
>>543378166it can't survive without high growth tho. also the country is 92+% foreigners. Dubai is 95%+ foreigners. Also, there's millions of illegals in the uae, despite what the gov tells people. When do they mass amnesty runs, hundreds of thousands show up
>>543375253It's fucking pointless. It doesn't have working plumbing on a macro level and it's sinking. Nobody has billions to bun on a worthless tower. It was just a massive vanity project. Nobody else had the disposable income and nothing better to do with it.
Child’s play. Get on my level
>>543376292True that nigga they are like those niggers who come poor single mother households who create generational wealth in sports or music but go broke very soon because of extravangce due to their insecurities. Arabs are niggers that hit the jackpot and but who spent the fortune on hookers cars and fancy shit, instead of making meaningful investment.
>>543378339You mean jeets and pakistanis and bangladeshi, especially jeets
>>543378166Agreed it's ironic how despite being an arab world it isn't falling like the west.We have to give them credit
>>543375253globohomo modernist trash is not worth replicating. the future is traditional architecture (classical+vernacular).
>>543375253Isn't saudi arabia making one even taller?
>>543375253leave it to a jeet to think of even a bigger turd.
>>543378416fucking beautiful art deco
>>543375418Git a boyfriend I bet he doesnt kiss ya!
>>543379843They've been building the Jeddah Tower since 2008 kind of. That's when site prep began.Full construction didn't start until 2013 with an estimated completion date in 2017.They have currently finished less than half the total height.
>>543375253Korean engineering and construction with American design.
>>543380221they're going to finish it though within next couple of years almost certainly
>>543375527Sideways Poland gets it.
>>543380292Yeah just like last time construction was on sched...oh wait, no some random ego trip from the crown prince made everything grind to a halt, but that could never happen again, just look at his other on schedule vanity projects like the line...or neom...wait, fuck uhhh...the big cube thi...damn it...uhhh, well this one will work out.
>>543375253>no sewersgoatfuckers will be goatfuckers no matter how much money the have
>>543377605That's americans. It doesn't count.
>>543376292>My father rode a camel, I ride a Mercedes, my son rides a land rover, his son will probably also ride a land rover, but his son will be back on a camelThey're run out of oil
>>543375253because you niggers don't realize how much free oil and selling niggers makes a big difference in a country's economy
>>543376120>The lead architect was Adrian Smith.so that's why rumors are circulating he wants to retire from the band
>>543375253We don't have a culture based on collective face/honor, we have a culture based on individualism, which is why we make our criminals public and worry more about getting everyone a decent house than building one shiny tower in front of the slums.
>>543380474this tower is already paid for and they are finishing it rapidly
>>543375253because america puts all their money into a military that can take this whenever they want and enrich a very small portion of people with american passports to leverage places like this. i agree with it too cause your run of the mill useless eater (even here) have proven to be excess
>>543381571The tower was already paid for in 2011. That didn't stop construction from going on a 9 year hiatus.
>>543375253isn't there like thousands of oil princess? how to befriend one for a mil or two?
>>543375253question you should be asking is what happens to it in 20-30 years when it looks like your typical NY skyscraper that was built 30 years ago and now looks like a typical section 8 housing. how do you even repair, maintain such building? it costs 2-3x to repair something than to build it new
>>543375379ok but did the sandniggers build it themselves tho?
>>543380184the dust has settled, is it a boy or a girl?
>>543382999Yes.
>>543375253They can, but why should they? At some points it's a waste of resources, you could probably built for shorter buildings for cheaper and get the same real eastate overall.
