    I'm too busy counting the potential Riyals coming my way I just can't be bothered.

    So what if the son of the leni riefenstahl of architecture is involved. Big deal. I'll be involved and I'm awesome.

    BTW, care to show me any impropriety in the history of Büro Albert Speer & Partner which IMO is a very stand up firm. This is a terrible article by a terrible person who is just trying to make drama.

    Perhaps that will be the insulation.

    Yes, I find it hard to believe given the size of the stadiums, but it's theoretically possible.

    I can't imagine a clear thinking person making a big deal about Albert Speer being the son of an architect Hitler happened to like.

    It is not easy at all
    but if they made it..it will be historical
