The World’s Abandoned Architecture
Posted by alex in propaganda
When an architect has a vision of his or her masterpiece, they hope that one day they will see it stand in all its glory. Unfortunately though a lot of the times funds run out, timing doesn’t work and other related problems cause the structure to never exist. Then there are the times where structures are built, half built, abandoned, disregarded and left to mother nature’s fury. The picture above is the Ryugyong hotel in North Korea, originaly started in 1987, construction went on for five years but ceased due to lack of funds, electricity and building materials. It was abandoned for 16 years, but construction resumed in 2008 and the hotel is now being readied to open its doors in 2012 for the 100th anniversary of Kim II Sung’s birth. With 360,000 sq m (3,900,000 sq ft) of floor space and 105 stories, it will be the tallest hotel in the world. Other structures like this are not so lucky though, follow the link below and check out the list of the world’s tallest abandoned structures from around the world.
