creative, but ugly.

[Qatar Son 333]

why ugly its super

[amrja]

I don't like all these new ultra-modern buildings... we need more stuff like Barazan tower, Waqf tower, and the West Bay Complex in Doha - I personally think that type of architecture is much nicer. A nice mix of both modern and traditional is what we need more off.

[omarmakki]

I also think it looks beautiful.
Any idea if construction has started or not?

[Halawala]

Looks a bit like the Ritz Singapore and National Bank of Dubai.
