Does it become easier or harder to write fantasy/science fiction when new wonders are continually being built for real?

The Rak Jebel Al Jais resort, to belocated in the united arab emarites, looks, from these concept works, like a space colony or perhaps the village of a group of tibetan monks who have been dabbling with some serious technology. (Interesting story idea.) It was design by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (Desert, the new Metropolist), who seem to specialize in creating larger than life structures. Enjoy!
