WTF? Are you seriously suggesting that architect's of old couldn't have been able to construct a hotel without using "zillions" of architect-programmed scripts???SavageduckEric Stevens
I am sure that while Frank Lloyd Wright managed more than adequately with a drawing table, he would have very quickly adopted computers and design software to achieve his designs, ...
But he couldn't have done a http://www.freakingkid.com/burj-al-arab-worlds-only-seven-star-hotel-in-the-world/
Have you ever seen the Eifel Tower? They managed to build that one without a single script. Or the Statue of Liberty? The freaking *COLOSSEUM* was built two thousand years ago, and has an architecture that far surpasses the rather mediocre Burj. Burj is a luxury hotel and all money is spent on the inside, as arhitecture it's nice, but that's all.
It has nothing on historical architectural achievements like the Notre Dame, Taj Mahal, the Vatican, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Palace of Versailles.
Petra is an entire city carved out of the freaking stone. Angkor Wat is an awesome architectural building. As is the Forbidden City, which is the world's largest palace. You could fit ten Burj inside it.
Even the Golden Gate bridge is an architectural masterpiece when compared to the Burj.
I don't know if it's just the fact that when it comes to architecture, USA is so very very young so you guys don't have much historically impressive buildings. Tall skyscrapers is your claim to fame. Europe and Asia are *litered* with thousands upon thousands of amazing castles and palaces, fortresses and *churches* like St. Mark's Cathedral, St Sophia and the Sistine Chapel for christ sakes.
Not to mention the Pantheon Or just about any building in Rome! Or the Tower of London.
I shouldn't mention the pyramids of Giza or the Sphinx, because I fear your mind would be blown. I should stay far away from the great wall of china.
Compared to *ANYONE* of these I mentioned, the Burj is a fancy house.
