It's probably Umbrella Corporation's east Asia headquarters, and therefore likely does have escape pods. If there's a security breach, nuclear decontamination. Kim Jong whoever the **** took his place gets to claim it was an A-bomb test to scare the white devil, and everybody wins. **** I'm high right now.

I got baked and played a lot of RE4. Then aparently overdid it a bit. But that is a cool looking building.

I don't smoke but I drink some... getting near dinner time so it might be time. I will be playing either Madden or Black. I love turning the surround sound up and hearing the deafening gun shots and explosions.

Looks real but the building itself is real. It was on Megastructures or Build it Bigger. Watched it with my daughters.

Well that's pretty ****in' gorgeous. I love it. It looks integrated with it's surroundings as though it were all planned that way (which it probably was). The North Korean building, while attractive to me, looks like an after thought.

Is this in their fake city just across the border?
 
I don't like it.

It looks like a structure you'd find in Las Vegas ... not easy on the eye IMO
 
Functionality, political background, economics & cost aside yes it's without a doubt hysterically cool. It looks like something a Pharaoh would build for himself if he had access to modern engineering. Which seems really apt for North Korea.
 
The exterior is unique and eye catching I need to know a lot more about the building than just that.

The North Koreans are notorious for their "staged" attractions especially along the border. Considering all the people starving and freezing I would think investing in dwellings and the building of such dwellings providing jobs and revenue to their hungry citizens would be money better spent.

I would have to research the building ...yet unless functional and providing housing, greenhouse farming or business space to their citizens the building is just grandstanding the greedy dictator.

They probably ran out of money...again, and haven't furnished it yet.

Well, before they start installing cubicles, office chairs, and houseplants they ought to put in...walls and floors.
 
it looks like a bad set piece from some hair metal rendition of metropolis

Seems like people here cannot overlook the fact that the building is North Korean..

I think the building on the picture looks rather cool and special. The article the picture is taken from btw, is an article about how North Korea is now putting glass on the building.

or maybe you just have ****ty taste?

Ignoring any political issues relating to it for the moment...


I think it is very unique, artistic and beautiful, so yes.

I have no idea as to its functionality.... but not everything has to be purely functional.
 
Kind of has that Frank Lloyd Wright feel to it....

Ok maybe not.

Although the top of the building does look like a nice place to hide a mega sized nuclear warhead. So maybe it is functional

Maybe. But knowing them it would probably fail on takeoff and crash.
 
I think that it looks cool only from the fact that I am into urban exploration. Personally, I think that wandering around that building for a while would be ****ing awesome. However, since the North Koreans are probably not too keen on having Westerners do this, I can't really enjoy it in that sense. From an aesthetic standpoint, it sucks and is a giant eyesore. This has nothing to do with politics. I can look at many pieces of beautiful architecture built by dictators, be horrified by the human cost of building it, and still appreciate it from a purely aesthetic sense while still being disgusted by the whole thing. The Nazis and the Soviets designed many beautiful buildings; I'm no fan of totalitarian art, but that's because I think that a lot of it genuinely does suck or I specifically do not find it aesthetically pleasing. A turd is a turd, and that's what this building is.
 
Is it a casino?

If this building had been placed in Las Vegas or Macau or even New York City, it might look cool (if a little tacky). But based on where it's actually located, it just looks ridiculous. And it's still structurally unsound.

Also, I love how typing in "Hotel of Doom" on Wikipedia automatically redirects to this turd.

Seems like Americans just love to keep bashing and use propaganda against North Korea.
