JEDDAH'S BLUE GLASS ARCHITECTURE

There are modern blue glass buildings all over Jeddah. 

Today'ss post showcases just a few.

 

SLATED FOR DEMOLITION

Many slum areas of Jeddah have already been demolished and many more are scheduled to be torn down in the near future. The buildings are unsightly, in disrepair, and house mostly lower paid foreign workers. 

Despite the mess, I still manage to find beauty in these buildings

I call this "Royalty Loyalty" - many businesses declare their loyalty to the kingdom in this manner

Rather plain architecturally, but the blue design packs a punch

TRANSFORMING JEDDAH

The slum areas all over the city of Jeddah, including old apartment buildings, businesses, and crowded maze-like residential areas, are being torn down and will be rebuilt. It has displaced thousands of residents, mainly foreign workers. There are sectors of the city that are now rubble, resembling a war zone.
