How about just answering the question.

Looking at the picture and judging the building as looking cool or not, should not require you to know what it is for..

Its intended as a hotel I believe.

I base "cool" on what technological innovations it incorporates.

A picture alone means absolutely nothing.

What is the building? As in, who owns it, what is it for, where is it, what challenges were involved in building it, what unique qualities does the building have, etc.

Why do you think the OP asks the questio and list a picture?

It doesnt add a list of ownership and list of technological innovations. It lists the picture only for you to judge the exterior.

Judge books by their covers much?
 
Maximus Zeebra said:
Sometimes yes. I often buy a book by its cover actually. On the cover there is a title of the book, the author and often a summary.

Ok, so how about giving us the "title" of this building, the "author" of this building, and perhaps a summery of this building?

The summary of the building is what you see, the author is North Korea and the title is a "tall building".

People have been taught that NK is not cool, so therefor the building can not be cool. that's it. "it's all about location not the building"

Frustratingly it seems like this to me... At the time I made this thread, I also made an identical one for the "empire state building", which was massivly favourable and never questioned anything like is being done in this thread.

Why mention the location of the building? IS this some sort of attempt to see if people's opinion about the building will be influenced by the fact the DPRK is ran by a brutal communist dictator Or is this some attempt to see if we are going to say "man, them thar north Koreans sure know how to make thems perty buildings, I guess them commies aren't that bad"?

I think the building is probably located somewhere in the free world and he wanted to get negative answers or it could be just a computerized sketch and he is trying to organize people not to approve it
