Hi Guys, we always talk about the tallest towers and buildings, but here's a tower that will change the trend....The World's First INVISIBLE Tower. Korean architectural studio GDS Architects has recieved the green light for its award winning 450 meter(1,476 ft) high Tower Infinity design. To be built just outside of Seoul, Tower Infinity will become the "world's first invisible tower" and third highest observation deck.
Tower Infinity's "invisible" facade will be equipped with an elaborate LED system(500 rows of LED screen) and 18 weather proof optical HD cameras which will acquire real time images and these images will be processed and be projected by the LED system, giving the pedestrians and passerby(from certain vantage points) the impression that the tower is invisible.With that being said, bird lovers must not fear, the architects have confirmed that the tower has been designed so as to remain visible to birds and air traffic.
The Tower will feature a number of steel support braces, while also being divided into 28 meter(92 ft) long triangular modules. The final result is a magnificent 453 high striking angular diamond shaped tower. GDS Architects original competition entry also included room for photovoltaic cells, a wind turbine and access to geothermal energy.(Firm is unable to comment on the sustainable energy features).
The Tower is primarily built for entertainment and leisure purposes. Its facilities include a 4-D theater, restaurants, a water park, Sky-Walk garden, cafes and bars, plus the soaring outdoor viewing roof deck located 397 meters(1,302 ft) above the ground. When the tower's invisible cloak is turned off the projectors may be used as a huge billboard for broad casting special events and advertisements, say GDS Architects.
"Having visited several observation towers of the world, we felt an urgent need to go beyond just providing a viewing platform, but create a series of interactive kiosks, displays and simulations to create a more fulfilling experience", says Michael Collins, Director at GDS."My personal favorite is the Sky-Walk Outdoor Garden that starts at 285 meters(935 ft) and takes people through an arboretum like environment till they reach 320 meters(1,050 ft) via the elevated circular ramp."
GDS Architects were unable to make any official comment with respect to the tower's construction schedule and project budget at this time.
