Dont get me started on the Taj. That was built in the school of architecture known as brutalism. It lives up to its name, particularly in the exterior.

What gets me about this design is how intentionally and, I think, ideologically feminine it is. The footprint makes an obvious reference and the walls are lace-like. This is just too shi-shi/foo-foo to be taken seriously.

But, considering how Easterners appreciate local autonomy, I guess we should not appeal to Rome to stop this fiasco wink
