Leaning tower of Abu Dhabi


I am so fascinated by the insane architecture being done for AD that I wanted to post this most remarkable one. It now holds the record for the most leaning structure in the world. I read extensively about it and they used so much steel in the exterior walls (at least 3x normal) that the windows are tiny. They have no real use for it, so it is a museum for the City plus other incidental things.
You should look on google for the new Guggenheim and the new Louvre buildings being built in AD. They are on a binge of hiring the most famous architects in the world and building everything at no expense spared, just to try to put AD on the map.
