Some critics dismiss skyscrapers as phallic objects intended to glorify the egos of their male architects. The race among cities to build the tallest building often seems like a contest of "mine is bigger than yours." Given the symbolism, the Twin Towers in Manhattan celebrated homosexuality: one giant penis next to another. No wonder they provoked the wrath of Islamic fundamentalists.
Well theres one I never heard before... What type of building could you put next to a skyscraper that wouldn't be 'two cocks together'? A bunker...?
Building up is only really seen in major cities where land value is high. When cities are crowded, the only affordable way to build is up and not out. That is why you only see such monstrosities in major cities like New York and Chicago. Even in LA, it is not that bad. I used to work at the tallest building in Downtown LA, and I want to say it was only 55 or so stories. There was so much room to expand, there was never a reason to go higher. Most buildings stop at around 20. And if you are building up, everything will look like that, it is just how you build. Making things like a biig dome so it looks like a big mammary object simply makes no sense. Of course, if there was no worry about flooding I guess they could build down instead, so it resembles a giant vulva. I find this entire topic moronic I must admit.
