What a gorgeous tower.

The slit down the middle reminds me a bit of a glass vagina, and the hood on the top is like its clitoris. I love it.

A replica of Swiss Re in London should be built next to it. They could mate!

If anything, Cambodia's new supertall proposal should be built next to it. At least this Doha tower looks like a female organ, as opposed to the already tired cliches of comparing sleek, glassy highrises to certain adult toys.

That being said, let's keep the graphic terms and descriptions to a minimum, for the sake of keeping this place work safe.

I have the opposite reaction. It seems atavistic to me, although I can't quite place exactly what era/location it reminds me of.
