In our days skyscrapers construction isn't surprising, especially in Asian countries. Whereas most skyscrapers aim to stand out from crowded skylines, South Korea architects managed to bring something new in skyscraper construction planning Infinity Tower which will stand apart by blending in as the world's first "invisible" tower.
GDS Architects are in the early planning stage of building what will be known as the world's first invisible tower, reported GDS architectural studio's official site. To be located near Incheon International Airport, the tower is meant to be a gateway to South Korea's bustling cityscape, symbolizing the region's rising power through a self-diminishing "celebration of the global community" - though this passive approach is somewhat offset by the unabashedly phallic design of the super tower. The tower itself appears to disappear through a unique optical technology. The key to making the tower invisible is the architects use of optical technology, with this ingenious development, the crystalline tower is expected to be completely see-through, which makes this project very impressive.
The main developer of this project is the "Korea Land Corporation and Cheongna Organization". The completion of project schedule for 2014. Nevertheless the project is only in its planning stage. The main budget and date for the beginning of construction aren't announced. The 450 meters tall tower will land 145 thousand square meters area. It will also house retail areas, a water park and other ecological activities. The tower also planned to have the second tallest observation deck in the world at 385 meters high.
