hotel north korea


I could make some reference to the Eagle's song here, but I dont' want to push the limits of towers of ilium's frequent copyright violations. The Ryugyong hotel in North Korea has made more construction progress since this photograph was taken (2008). I am reminded of the Tyrell corporation headquarters in Blade Runner.

I can empathize with the architects and engineers who participated in the design of this building. They probably faced similar challenges to what their western counterparts deal with.
