Abandoned hotel

North Korea 🇰🇵

It was supposed to become the world's tallest hotel. Instead, it became the world's tallest abandoned building. The pyramid-shaped Ryugyong Hotel is 330 metres (1,080 ft) tall and one of the most prominent features of Pyongyang's skyline. The structure consists of 105 floors and it was originally intended to house five revolving restaurants, and between 3,000 to 7,665 guest rooms

Construction began in 1987 and it was North Korea's response to other high-rise development taking place in cities around the West and Asia during the Cold War. For North Korean leadership, it was also an attempt to bring western investors into the marketplace. The hotel was scheduled to open in June 1989 for the 13th World Festival of Youth and Students, but problems with building methods and materials delayed completion.

In 1992, after it reached its architectural height, construction halted due to the economic crisis and famine in North Korea following the collapse of the Soviet bloc. By then, the hotel's construction cost $750 million, consuming 2% of North Korea's GDP. For over a decade, the unfinished building sat vacant and without windows, fixtures, or fittings, appearing as a massive concrete shell while A rusting construction crane remained at the top.

In 2008, construction resumed by the Egyptian Orascom company. The company had also made a deal to operate North Korea's telecommunications network and installed antennas on top of the building. By 2011 work had finished. Ryogyong Hotel was fitted with windows but not much work had taken place in the hotel's interior. Since then, there have been many rumors of the hotel finally opening but until today it remains unoccupied.

To all the people who think apocalyptic clothing aesthetic is tight, industrial-feeling, torn, and black, do I have news for you.

In any of the human-on-human apocalypses, yeah, that might be true. But the more popular ones, like zombies, would probably result in any areas with pre-made clothes being dangerous or empty, and in the off chance you DO find something, it is not going to fit perfectly like that unless you or someone you know has the time and the ability to alter clothing.

In most “safe zones” or “bases” in the zombie apocalypse worlds, food production, defense training, and wall building are usually prioritized. However, this overlooks the amount of young kids and injured adults who can’t really do that. They would likely be the people who care to the wounded, and also the ones patching up the holes in the clothes to make them last as long as possible.

My point to this aesthetic is that craft stores are probably not as dangerous or empty, and grabbing yarn an easy stop on the way to get the wood glue, spray paint, and decorative icing I’d imagine people could use. With the rise in popularity of the fiber arts, there’s a higher chance of SOMEONE in this base knowing how to crochet or knit to create new clothing that keeps warm and actually fits.

So rather than an industrial look, I submit there’s a HUGE lack of crochet/knit apocalyptic fits. Additionally, since zombies are usually able to track through smell or hearing and not sight, and the amount of black yarn is probably limited, I submit that these fits could be pink, or lime green, or orange, and nobody would complain because they have some damn clothes and this isn’t a fashion show.

That is all.

Thank you for your time.
