Video insights

@traveltomtom's TikTok video "Why did we stop ❌ building like this in Western countries? 🤷🏽‍♂️😳 Walking around Dushanbe I came across something that immediately caught my attention. This is a brand-new government building, just recently opened THIS YEAR! But instead of going for simple, modern and purely functional architecture, Tajikistan went BIG. 🇹🇯 Massive pillars, enormous windows and an entrance that almost makes you feel like you’re walking through the Roman Empire. In many Western countries, new buildings seem to be designed around simplicity, functionality and keeping costs under control. Here in Dushanbe, Tajikistan it feels completely different. They wanted this building to look majestic, and they definitely succeeded! 😍 Whether you like this style or not, I love that countries still build monumental architecture like this. At least in 500 years from now they can say wow they built this back in 2026! Now I just need to figure out how to get inside! 👀 You think I can film what it is like inside the parliament of Tajikistan? 😁 ❤️🇹🇯 #dushanbe #tajikistan" has 45,665 views, 2,975 likes, 102 comments, 25 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
