    Beautiful stadium, however, in America, “many, many years” translates to around 20-30 before the owners start complaining how “outdated” this one is and why they “need” a new one. The Georgia dome before it only lasted 25 years. Guess we’ll wait and see. 🤷🏾‍♂️

    Gaudi was very imaginative. The cathedral eschews flying buttresses to wonderful effect. Gaudi's designs are Art Nouveau and aim to be organic and flowing representing plant life. Families Sagrada feels like a lofty connection between earth and the universe that we inhabit.

    2:10 don’t point out that pencil in the sky that skyscraper is so bad they’re being sued for over $$250 million by the homeowners association of that building for bad building skills that is the worst design that has ever been contemplated the elevator get stuck and the fire department has been called, because of the wind it slips through the building because they made the design wrong because they put air through certain parts of the building, so it wouldn’t sway but it shuts down The elevator completely poor design, the architecture should be held responsible.

    I'm just curious what happened to the other two buildings? They sandwiched this building in between two existing buildings, apparently connecting them all together. But those two buildings had windows on that side. Both existing buildings lose their views, and natural light. No more windows.
