I saw some posts for the architectural photography contest today. It's not that I want to participate but it's just a different and interesting topic for my post.

When we talk about architecture we usually have in mind serious and important buildings. Artworks from a certain era or a famous person.

But there is also another branch of architecture. I don't know how to call it.

Plagiarism or maybe fake architecture. Whatever.

I know that I already made a couple of posts about Global Village in Dubai, but I have many photos and I'm sure you want to see them.

Most of today's are entries to pavilions dedicated to the certain country.

I'm sure you've recognized the matching country.

United Arab Emirates

Russia

Try to guess this one.

Entrance to the Global Village

The designers tried to mix half of the world in one street. They were carried away a bit in my opinion, but we're not here to judge. It's an amusement park, after all.

As you can see tourists like this kind of parks and enjoy their stay. They recognize the familiar structures and they feel welcomed and comfortable.

They are willing to spend money and that's the main purpose of building such places.

I hope you like the photos regardless of fake art presented.

Have a great one, my dear steemians.
