I woke up today and as usual first thing I did was to check my gmail and then read the newsfeed on facebook. One of my friends posted this video and wrote a comment that I thought is such a true description for this video. Unfortunately that's exactly what I think at the moment walking in this city
Where are you? This video clearly shows that at the moment Baku has no spirit, no identity. It is just a collection of various pre-packaged architectural solutions chosen from a catalog by the ruling family. Exactly. when I am walking on the streets, seeing ugly purple London like Taxis, horrendous glass pyramids, kitsch black and gold fountains with little golden angels, skyscrapers that dominate and destroy the amphitheater of the city, this is exactly what I ask myself: "Where the f*** am I? Is this my city? Baku?"
I like it.
