This is so fukcing stupid i cant handle it. Fuck. Cathedrals are still beautiful and awe-inspiring hundreds of years after they were built. This orb is going to look like absolute shit the second it loses power or some of its screens break or something, so, like, 50 years from now it'll be giant e-waste sitting in a dead city. I hate techbros i hate techbros i hate techbros
Give it like 5 years and you'll start seeing multiple led panels needing replaced but they can't afford to do that because they still havent made a profit.
L take. every sinofuturism video features the big skyscrapers acting as screens. as has been pointed out here before if this thing were built in China we'd all be praising the shit out of it.
edit: vegas in general is shit though. although the desert & surrounding mountains have a nice austere natural beauty to them.
No. I wouldn't be. I think those giant skyscraper screens are cringe as shit. Simply make prettier buildings that don't cause massive light pollution. I think a neat old stone church is extremely a lot cooler than any fancy skyscraper covered in screens
i doubt they were expecting cathedral-level but more masonry and stylish facades are definitely possible in conventionally proportioned & constructed buildings without breaking those rules (except acquiring masons, but no reason we shouldn't have people employed in beautification trades)

can a cathedral turn into a giant fucking eyeball? No? Then I don't care about it
I admire your optimism that it'll last that long

Modern engineering and building safety standard make this prohibitively expensive if not borderline impossible.
what about engineering and safety could possibly demand new buildings be flashy glass skyscrapers?
Modern HVAC prefers low ceilings
Fire codes require putting way more staircases in everything and making hallways wider
Masonry is increasingly expensive and fewer and fewer people can do high skill masonry work
Also Cathedrals took generations to build, society doesn't have the patience for that crap anymore
There's other reasons I can't think of off the top of my head

I think skyscrapers are overrated, but at least they have functional interiors. What is inside of the orb?

I really don't get how U2 got so famous. They sound like such bland dogshit

This guy is definitely getting sacrificed to the orb
My life for the orb!
I would not be surprised if the orb caved in at basically any moment
Tear down the stupid papist rock piles
Rehabilitate them into gay clubs. Will make for dope décor.
Can you imagine what they would do with the confessional booth? I get all tingly just thinking about it
Turn the Vatican into a mosque
Turn the Vatican into a smoking crater
Turn the vatican into a gulag
