The winner. The design looks practical and simple while still remaining aesthetically pleasing. It's also ingenious in a way. The motif on the side of the tower reflects that of another building across the lawn.

Sorry to burst your bubble, thats core drilling, it done to study the geology underneath to enable the structural engineer design foundations. So foundation excavation will proceed a few weeks after the results of this core drilling are known.

But still hurray, works have begun.

am a Civil & construction engineer myself, keep your explanations to yourself. I know all about geological studies.
I agree that I was too fast, I was expecting the digging to start sooner but it seems something went wrong

why do you bother? Leave the fool to please himself, dude claims he has a degree in economics yet still thinks characters in an animation film are shipped to the setting of the movie to do the shooting . Tell him to go learn some simple sentence construction before he tries engineering .........A whole graduate still thinks all sentences must end with an exclamation mark, LAWD! The mother thought she was selling her donkey to pay her son's school fees but she committed the terrible crime of selling the son to take the donkey to school .

No wonder all he can celebrate about his country is serengenti, not much to write about that economic backwater.

Imagine not being able to see Mt. Kilimanjaro from Kenya, may be the border would be really far away or that would be a wall taller than the mountain. So signature is kinda funny
