As expected, the whole area incorporated ancient egyptian symbology
South Africa broke with convention in nominating former AfDB senior vice-president Bajabulile Swazi Tshabalala for the bankโs top job. She says her track record for both execution and financial innovation speak for themselves. l.theafricareport.com/6c7
Looks stunning, but will people actually move there? Most master-planned capitals struggleโjust ask Myanmar (Naypyidaw) or Brazil (Brasilia).
The building is great but they should have added some trees. All that concrete will make it excruciatingly hot.
It's great to see they used the origin and roots while blending it with a touch a modernism. This kind of sandstone rock is sooo beautiful imo
I wish all countries gave their โmodernโ architecture a localized cultural aesthetic like this..
in the most accurate way possible. total aesthetic post-modern nightmare that looks absolutely horrible
Their innovative displays illuminate some of the most renowned locations around the world, showcasing the impact of South Dakotaโs expertise in visual technology. See why Freedom Works Here and how South Dakotaโs spirit of innovation reaches far beyond its borders.
Happy to see a culture with unique architecture. This looks authentically Egyptian and also modern
it's egypt right? doesn't make sense that las vegas does egypt better than egpyt

almost like dune got their fremen designs from north african culture
Interesting mixture of styles. Although the lack of trees and covered walkways is kind of not moving towards SDG goalโฆ
I mean, this actually looks nice and the new Dune movie sets looked like generic indistinguishable trash, so not really but I appreciate the joke.
The Berlin Wall fell for a reason. It would be foolish to consider trying to rebuild it - and all it represents - today.

This is badass. Wish the US government would bring back art deco and neo-romanism
Government spending is out of control.
President Trumpโs announcement of the Department of Government Efficiency headed by Elon Musk, has reignited interest in reining in government spending.

Grandiose brutalism... has no purpose, costs a fortune to build, and will age badly.

As a brazilian, I know that this will probably not end well.
The buildings are beautiful, but egyptians will pay a big price, not just in money.

What a sight! Egyptโs new capital looks like it's straight out of Dune. This ambitious project is commendable โ hopefully, it will drive sustainable growth and set new standards for urban development in MENA.
I would imagine myself as an exchange student dragging my ass with three suitcases from one building to another, will prolly die in the middle of that
They are beautiful well crafted pieces of Art. Will raise thinkers to replicate this and more.
Apparently, there are no trees, greenery, or anything sustainable. It must be an extremely hot city and an enemy of the environment. Air conditioning is probably only available in enclosed spaces.
Exactly the kind of gigantic structure a Pharoah would build. Very impressive and intentional that the structural design reflects the bold stance of the government to better the lots of the Egyptians & signal their readiness to welcome developmental handshakes from world leaders.
The impressive thing about ancient Egyptian architecture is while a specific building might look like it was built by a lot of people, it still comes off as an idea conceived by a super mind for a specific purpose.

There should be a name for this type of architecture, builds that look like theyโre out of dune
the megalithic architecture promoted by Paul and the Atreides Imperium, as a means to emphasize the religious cult of Muad'Dib, is said to be the biggest brutalist buildings ever made by man and its definitely a point of criticism that Paul himself comes to realize.
It has all of the invitingness and human scale of the administrative architecture of Brasilia.
Very dope, modernizing while keeping a strong cultural aesthetic might be my favorite type of architecture
Do you want DOGE to succeed?

Somehow it is a mix of brutalism, art deco elements and classicism.. I do not like the classicism elements, they do not fit the clear lines smh..
Brutalist architecture, reminiscent of Soviet times or jedi temple from corsucant.
