    That's one of the ugliest buildings that I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of them.

    ^It's the new trend in Skyscraper design: interconnected upper levels. The joining blocks actually have gardens on top:

    Poor judgement, but it was mostly unintentional.
    I can only imagine the chaos if a Middle Eastern country were to make towers like these.

    It looks like ...

    Two people having sex?

    or maybe

    A Democrat telling a Republican his economic policies are weak sauce?

    or maybe

    Proof that the world is only 6000 years old?

    or maybe

    Two phallic symbols joined together in holy matrimony?

    Reminds me of a building in Beijing. One side caught on fire before it was finished, and they can't take it down without collapsing the other building.

    That's a pretty cool concept... I think it would have been cooler with some more variation in other parts of the towers... maybe a wider base or something?

    What's the controversy??? (I am admitting to laziness and didn't read the article)

    I didn't read the article either, but this is the first thing I thought of when I saw it:

    I think they need to take into consideration what the suicide rate is like in that city.

    Dang that's a good point. I would not take up resident in that building if I can afford it (and I live in Korea). Plus it just looks ugly. Doesn't look like clouds.

    I think it's a trip! Talk about thinking outside the box... no one will mix these up with the endless rectangles rising into the air that make up most of the modern world's skylines.
