OMG... the title took my eyes... I wanted to read this post and I intended to comment even before I browse it,, my eyes r still taken by the title and the title only,, guess why ,,, flicker is banned here in Dubai,,, :s ,,, im commenting now just because I decided to do so,,
But the basis on which its compared is still vague. I mean architecture wise both are ugly, location wise both have a problem, paywise maybe?:p thats the only thing I find borj al 3arab in Jordan more reasonable:p
Ya3ni comparing these two is like comparing apples with oranges.
Seriously, if want to compare you can compare the old Architecture of Jabal lwabdeh in Amman for instance with the total "pre-fabricated" one of Dubai , the first one engraved with culture and built with local flavour whilst the other blindly following the globalization stream with no identity what so ever.
For those who claim that the Borg al-Arab in Dubai is ugly, I have to say, "What choo talkin' 'bout, foo?" (That's a Mr. T joke, for those of you who don't know.) As a former student of architecture, I find the building extremely impressive.
أكد محققو وزارة العدل الأمريكية أنهم لم يجدوا حتى الآن أي دليل على أن أنصار دونالد ترامب الذين هاجموا مبنى الكونغرس الأسبوع الماضي خططوا لاحتجاز مسؤولين منتخبين وقتلهم. يأتي ذلك في الوقت الذي أُوقفت فيه الشرطة، الجمعة، رجلا مسلّحا في واشنطن خلال محاولته عبور إحدى نقاط التفتيش في محيط مبنى الكونغرس حيث ستقام الأربعاء مراسم تنصيب جو بايدن. في ذات الوقت أفادت شبكة NBC الأمريكية، بأن مكتب التحقيقات الفيدرالي يحقق في إمكانية تمويل حكومات أو جماعات اقتحام مبنى الكونغرس. وقالت مصادر للشبكة: "المكتب يحقق في مدفوعات "بيتكوين" بقيمة 500 ألف دولار، يبدو أنه تم تحويلها من قبل مواطن فرنسي، لشخصيات ومجموعات رئيسية يمينية قبل اندلاع أعمال الشغب". وفي جلسة استماع في محكمة أريزونا بشأن اعتقال أحد مثيري الشغب جاكوب تشانسلي الذي يؤمن بنظرية المؤامرة ومن أتباع الحركة اليمينية المتطرفة "كيو-آنون"، تراجع المدعون الفيدراليون عن اتهامات سابقة بأن أنصار ترامب كانوا يخططون "لاحتجاز مسؤولين منتخبين وقتلهم" في هجوم السادس من كانون الثاني/ يناير في واشنطن. ع

ReplyDeleteQuoting Jad:
ReplyDelete"For me the first LOOKS much better and close.."
That doenst sound like comparing names, thus came my reply:)
Roba, That would be great.*
ReplyDeleteOhoud, Yes and that because it's ours, I feel it's mine and I belong to this place.
I'm comparing names and places but not architecture at least because I know nothing about architecture.
