The proposed Ras al Khaimah Convention and Exhibition Centre in the UAE bears a striking resemblance to the Death Star. Designed by Rem Koolhaas and Reinier de Graaf as part of their collaboration with OMA, the sphere holds a convention centre, hotel rooms, apartments, offices and retail space.

I can't imagine this building being accepted. It's terrifying and uninviting. They would have a hard time convincing confabs to hold their events in the dark matter.
If it does get approved it'll only be because of the Koolhaas name, which would be a huge shame.
