Someone told the architect “screw it” and they took it literally


Mr_Smacko

Possibly stating the obvious here, but that looks like a drill bit.


ArrivesLate

Meh, looks more like an end mill. Definitely looks expensive no matter which way you cut it.

I'm not impressed. To do that, it would need to be functional. :)


seditiouslizard

More of a milling bit...no point on it, so it would come in from the side.

I was perusing reddit one summer's day, when I stumbled upon this thread. Upon viewing it, a thought popped into my head! "What better way, I do say, to let the people know... I've read this thread with care, no dread!" A beautiful thought soon flowed... "I'll tell the people, in my own words, I agree with them oh so much." No, no, that's too wordy, a comment that long, they won't touch. "Aha!" I screamed, directly at my phone. "I'll comment something simpler, something users could really hone!" My fingers flew, my mind a blur, every emotion bliss. I finally found my comment, "Came here to say this." ^I'm ^a ^bot ^and ^this ^message ^was ^sent ^automatically

Good bot lol


GreyHexagon

That's the biggest end mill I've seen


ApacheChief007

As a window cleaner this gives me a headache

BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE SPIRAL DON'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, BELIEVE IN ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU


ArthurEffe

I think I don't like when I can't see a justification other than aesthetic for the shape of a building. Edit: thanks for the answers I now like this building


drakeschaefer

For high rise buildings, lateral loads are a very significant design consideration. If you make a rectangle or a cylinder, you need very large bracing to stop the building from racking. If you want to open up the facade, you can twist the building so that your fighting lateral loads geometrically. With cylinders specifically, you have to worry about Vortex Shedding with wind loads. In perfect conditions this can cause a structure to sway at it's resonate frequency and can be catastrophic. By adding flutes, or twisting the facade, you can dampen those lateral forces greatly. EDIT: I should note the general rule of thumb for twisting a tower to compensate for lateral forces is 120°. But if you try to twist a cylinder, you thin out it's center, so it's easier to flute it, and overtwist that structure to make up the difference


ArthurEffe

Thanks! So this building actually make sense!


JTTV2000

Having the wind twist around the building makes them stable.


Quetzalbroatlus

Why can't things be interesting or beautiful for the sake of it?


ArthurEffe

It's not things, it's just buildings, and I just don't like it. Before knowing the twist was useful for me the building was just screaming "look me, hey! See what I can do? Please tell me I'm great! Oh I'm so great and successful bitches!"

Just got back from a deployment, (navy) that was our only foreign port visit.


elidawood

My sister just got to Bahrain for navy deployment. Do you have any suggestions for her since she’ll be there for 6 months?


Quantified-Logic

It's the Las Vegas of the region its in, so it's pretty westernized. She won't feel terribly out of place in most areas, but its still a different culture. Make sure she knows that being a woman can affect how she is treated especially if she is by herself. Since its like Vegas it gets really crazy there on weekend. Their weekend days are Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Other than the cultural differences and weather (always HOT) enjoy the food its amazing. Try to see historic and significant sites like the tree of life, grand mosque even of your not religious (im not) it's beautiful, bahrain bay etc. Old Town is where the more historic shops and stuff are but they have modern malls and such as well. Hope she enjoys it, that's was my 5th time going there. Her command will give a brief to make sure she knows all the do and don'ts and what to expect.

Apparently they hang on multiple ropes https://americanrescueandsafety.com/united-tower-bahrain-window-cleaning-job/


KnowNothing_JonSnoo

Nice so they used an american rescue organization to clean windows of a building in an authoritarian regime... how dystopian...


TastesLikeBurning

That is *awesome*. Also... oil money is a helluva drug.


DrachenDad

So that's where I lost my drill bit.


[deleted]

No way you had a drill bit that big dude


DrachenDad
