Checklist For (Crazy) Architects, Architecture Jobs In Dubai
Image Source: Cracked.com

Found this crazy check list for architects on Cracked.com, funny stuff from the article:

By 2010, Dubai will have more than 80 highrises over 200 meters, putting the city ahead of Hong Kong and New York, which up until recently had been the gold standard in human rat warrens.

Despite having a large population, Dubai has no address system. None at all. If you want something delivered, you have to draw a map. If you want to take a taxi, you have to draw a map. If you want to find your way home drunk, you’re f***ed.

    my theory is that some just paint over their old childhood toys and present them as building models :)

    Taking into account the current atmosphere there…that’s not going to happen.

    “If you want to find your way home drunk, you’re f***ed.”

    Being in a country of towelheads, if you’re drunk you have a bigger problem than getting home seeing that if they catch you with their f***ed up laws they’ll probably cut your hand off or throw rocks at you as punishment.

    “Despite having a large population, Dubai has no address system. None at all. If you want something delivered, you have to draw a map.”

    Leave it to those stupid fuckers to forget something as basic as street names. They can’t be bothered with things like urban planning while they’re busy stealing investors/clients money to do illogical construction projects.

    3 years from now Dubai will replace Iraq as the world’s shithole.
