    Pop quiz: what does a country on the brink of economic collapse, with dozens of unfinished buildings dotting its countryside, really need? A monstrous, phallic space hotel, of course!

    The padded areas provide comfort while sitting but also give it the geometric shapes needed to give the look of a pillow.
