  1. No way that Maarten van Rossem supports you on Patreon, that's awesome! Now, regarding Dubai - I have no idea what it's like as I've never been there, but it does look overblown and overrated, in the same way that the average modernist and internationalist city in Qatar, Bahrain and now Saudi Arabia is trying to be. This stuff only works insofar they have money, but given the change of the environment, that'll eventually become unsustainable. It's like a worse version of Las Vegas. The Arabian world has more interesting places to be and it's an actual shame they didn't apply these practices instead of wasting time, space, money and resources on this.
