Form plus function is Architecture 101. But a building that not only is a bright spark on the landscape but also has a surface as idiosyncratic as its structure, well, that's Architecture 2010. The year that film embraced a third dimension, architecture found a fourth: texture...

It's beautiful.
how old is it?

You know when I go to this architecture that are hundreds of years old, I wonder how humans back then made it.

Kind of off topic but this made me think of the pyramids and the nutjobs who think aliens built them... They seem to think humans are incapable of piling up bricks. :D

Anyway, I've never been able to view a building as beautiful tbh.

LOL!

Also, they now say those who built the pyramids were not slaves, but well positioned and payed workers. Maybe they lived better than the ones who constructed that modern building in top photograph... and were better payed!

Most likely slavery supported the building of the pyramids too (cheap labour, yay), but according to latest research, many a worker were indeed payed and were held in high regard. They wouldn't have buried slaves so near to the pharaoh's pyramid.
