ziggurat |

My silver flats belt and necklace [looking down from above]

I love flats but I love heels too… look at this “ziggurat” pyramid below.

Dubai-based architecture firm Timelinks has developed plans for a million person ziggurat. What the hell’s a ziggurat? “A ziggurat was a temple tower of the ancient Mesopotamian valley and Iran, having the form of a terraced pyramid of successively receding stories or levels. Some modern buildings with a step pyramid shape have also been termed ziggurats.”

It may sound like just another concept that’ll never be a reality, but Timelinks already set about patenting the design as well as the technology that would make it possible. The structure, nearly a whole square mile by design, would use a combination of steam, wind, and other alternative energy-gathering methods to keep itself entirely off the grid. There would also be “green spaces” that would provide the pyramidal city with agricultural space, to provide food and green-based commerce.

Oh…and in case you may feel your flame start to blow out, something to ignite it and guide you through the dark nights.
