Soon,
an ¡°invisible tower¡± will be built in Korea. An invisible tower? I
beg your pardon?
According to Forbes and CNN, on September 15, the American architectural firm, GDS Architects,
was granted permission to build the ¡°Tower Infinity¡± near Incheon
International Airport. Once completed, it will reach 450 m (1,476 ft). It
is expected to be the sixth-highest tower in the world.
State-of-the-art LED lighting
and cameras on the exterior will make
the building seem to disappear, thus supporting the claim to be the
world¡¯s first ¡°invisible building.¡± The tower will house restaurants, a movie
theater, three observation decks, a roller
coaster and even a water park. Tower Infinity will have the third
highest observation deck in the world.
The project will be backed by the Korea Land & Housing CorporationÇѱ¹ÅäÁöÁÖÅðø»ç.
Charles Wee, CEO of GDS Architects said, ¡°Tower Infinity will serve as momentum to let
the world know about Korea¡¯s innovative technology.¡± |
