The Tower Infinity, South Korea's Forthcoming 'Invisible' Skyscraper
Posted by hipstomp / Rain Noe | 17 Sep 2013
Skyscrapers have always been symbols of architectural, economic and national might, the taller the better. They are meant to be seen from miles around. But a new tower slated to go up outside of Seoul, South Korea, has been designed with a twist: It is meant to be seen--and then not seen. The Tower Infinity, designed by the multinational GDS Architects, uses technology to render itself "invisible," or at the very least, optically camouflaged.
