I guess that's why you fit in so well in GD. MoH?
Fingers crossed!
Also to be clear, I'm quarter Irish and related to two English former premier league footballers!

something i will check out when i'm there in few days.
being trapped above such fire is one of the worst nightmares.
Have you seen inside the average footballer's house? We can't complain about them foreigners having bad taste.
It's not necessarily a unskilled labour problem, tall buildings in Dubai only had to have cladding made of stuff that didn't burn from 2013 onwards.
Your sofa doesn't define your house.I'm really confused. All I see in the latter image is some structural beams and a row of cheap tables and stools. Also, that lamp on the right looks bent. And I bet half of the chairs and tables in that place are wonky.
Nope, I'm talking about the building.Are you saying that Dubai has abandoned un-upholstered buildings and a row of barely-within-budget cheap tables and stools for extravagance and luxury?
Only in that it uses steel and glass, you won't find many buildings that actually look like that.I ask because the latter picture looks like any regular commercial building and I'm sure there are still garters/structural engineering in that building in Dubai somewhere under all that upholstery?
Returns on what? This isn't a commercial office building, it's to promote Arab culture in France. It's partly open plan inside and one bit looks like an Egyptian temple with huge pillars.The reason the latter building is so bare is not because it's hasn't abandoned the idea of not having excess upholstery. It's bare because it's built by capitalists who are looking to maximise returns.
Pretty much.That room in Dubai is built for "look how much money we can splash".
Taste isn't a matter of all looking the same, it is the redefinition of that moment and what came before it.How dull would the world be if you stepped into a room in London, Dubai and Tokyo and they all looked the same.
Japan evolved from some quite restrictive architectural motifs, yet their buildings developed and you can still see the original ideas being redefined.Yes they buy it in but what else can they do.
^^That's the first pic I've seen of it since the fire was put out. The damage is more extensive than I thought. I didn't realise the fire had extended all the way to the top of the building.
It's almost certainly cosmetic damage though so probably more time consuming than expensive to fix.
