qatar's environment is simply too harsh for the buildings!!
the combination of high temperature and high humidity is too much to bear for the structures for a long period of time. this harsh atmosphere can quickly deteriorate the concrete coverings and expose the reinforcements to corrosion. once that happens, rapid structure deterioration will be hastened...
this middle east development rush reminds me of the OLD BABYLON... sooner or later, nature will take the price to be paid from greedily sucking up dry her resources.
as we are all aware, "HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF". because mankind never ever learned... they tend to remember only the events but forget very easily the lessons.
and before that happens, expats will be all gone. and the buildings will be left behind to ruins...
