Problem is not the quality of the work, the problem is the techniques we use, all over Pakistan these loose blocks are used to contruct the border of the pavement while in the west they make a proper concrete structure which costs more, western pavements also are wider allowing for more people to walk and most importantly they are lower than our pavements hence are easier to climb for the old and look better too. The use of these loose blocks means our pavements are higher and with time these blocks become loose very quickly giving a very perverse look.Call me perfectionist but the quality of work is terrible - just utterly terrible and there is no excuse for this. Look at the kerb and pavement. Look at the gaps in the kerbing blocks, the pavement floor is not level, the pavement is not level with the road and all in all for something that is brand new this is disgusting. I have done block paving in my garden (am a keen gardner and DIY enthusiast) and I swear I did better than this even if it took time.
British kerbs.

In UK they use standard kerb blocks laid in concrete foundation which of course hold the blocks in place. Once the tarmacing is done the blocks recieve additional 'grip' and don't move.The use of these loose blocks means our pavements are higher and with time these blocks become loose very quickly giving a very perverse look.
Yes, here they just rely on the soil behind the blocks to hold them in place, lol n i dont think conractors n govt officials here are unaware of this problem, i think they do this intentionally so that they get another contract quicker.......every thing has corruption n malintent at its base alas!!!.In UK they use standard kerb blocks laid in concrete foundation which of course hold the blocks in place.

With the concrete blocks being lighter colour they provide a nice near edge that helps drivers in giving peripheral referance. And I say again the quality of the blocks are below par and workmanship is also below par. This is hardly rocket science. And as you rightly say it gives Pak a rough, disordered look that makes it look more poorer and more underdeveloped then it really is.
If they built proper pavements, covered all electric, power, gas and cabling underground the whole country would begin to look more tidier and developed.
Exactly bro.Call me perfectionist but the quality of work is terrible - just utterly terrible and there is no excuse for this. Look at the kerb and pavement.

I think this is the only good thing going on. This looks only 1 wall . Truck art is something we are very proud of. Nothing better to showcase our culture.The whole Pakistani "culture" look is getting out of hand..now they placed this ugly village door in the airport too...i hope its not permanent.

This is going to be seen as a local bazaar rather than an international airport to all the foreigners who come here.
A more appropriate place for the truck art would be on the walls while leaving the airport, it would've had sort of a welcome to Pakistan feeling with it and would be a beautiful sight for foreigners especially.
Having stuff like this inside the airport will give people more to be criticise, and that's the last thing we want.
