An empty field and a Ferris wheel make up Miracle Park in Batumi, Georgia. In April 2012, American businessman Donald Trump agreed to put his name and brand behind a new luxury tower to be built on the lot.

Influenced by the abstract forms seen in late Soviet-era buildings, Georgia is marked by a diversity of structures, ranging from modern, multi-layered offices to upside-down recreations of the American White House.
