Doha has some of the greatest pieces of modern architecture I've seen. Granted most buildings are being constructed right now but the renderings are posted like billboards on the lot and they look incredible. This is one of the buildings that has caught my eye. I don't know if that sphere is functional but then again I don't want to find out personally until I know what is holding it up. The other issue is that they use mostly glass. Normally with the harsh sun the glare off these buildings would be painful, especially with this building, but it causes no problems. There is so much dust in the air and no rain that these buildings are covered in a thin film of dust and sand.
