chigurh, I sense a air of bigotry. I guess you or your family does not drive a car (so as to not use Saudi oil), and frankly that sandal surfing is cool, you stupid bigot.

in Architecture It is often required to allow yourself to do business in a country that has or will allow things to happen that are not in alignment with your beliefs. Nations that Kill gays or disappear journalist want western architectural services, and many firms don't hesitate to jump through hoops for a potential job.

The moral corruption we often hear of is not so straight forward as not taking this work with sketchy foreign governments or other parties might result in layoffs of good hardworking people in your home office. This game of calculating acceptable risk and moral compromise is in play in so many firms right now.

It is a ruff thing to figure out

lots of good people holding their noses

Over and OUT

Nah, I'm no bigot, it's cool to be a misogynist that lives a lifestyle of total excess and over consumption.  Exploiting the shit out of migrant workers to the point of modern day slavery?  Pushing a V12 mercedes clad in 24 karat gold with an endangered species big cat in the passenger seat?  Total acceptable.  Those guys are legit.  Thanks for the comment sameole.

Ya, was just watching a vice doc on Saudis owning Big Cats.  Unfortunately, its a problem not exclusive to Saudi Arabia...Americans are the biggest importers of exotic animals, and the Chinese like to eat everything....But, the combo of the flashy cars, cats, misogyny, etc...Does make the Saudis the world heavy weight champions of Douche baggery.

chigurh, dont you think you are overgeneralizing, based on what limited knowledge you have through the (I am assuming) US media? If that were the case how many innocent pakistanis did you kill with your Drone strike? What right do you have to comment?

But more importantly, are you ready to give up driving your car (or rather, in any vehicle) so can stick it up to the Saudis?

for all we know the scammers may be 'white bros'.......not sure why bigotry was brought up., doesnt seem relevant here.......its also unclear if chigurgh was being a bigot or just anti assholes........this is how you get scammed, you make too many assumptions........by the way the google coordinates instead of an address is hilarious.....

Luxirous villas.I would work on it.Maybe the matter is not how things were done to be as they are,but how to change them.Who doesn't worry about the project master.Yes, trees and gym but what about green housing?I am almost always impressed to see how folks think solar energy,electric cars,computer system for managing fluid,ventilation etc. are not luxirous.How many of us have them.If now it's given to talk about green building in social housing,before that what about green housing in luxirous housing?If i am not mistaken it costs as it seems.In my view i would like a tube which stops itself when i leave the living room.
