Architectural #genius or #statement? Seoul will have Siamese Twin Towers: the #Cloud.

18. Oktober 2013 von schall & rauch

Expected to be finished in 2015, the cloud designed by Rotterdam-based architectural office MVRDV is already attracting a fair bit of attention or rather criticism, mostly due to this image and its associations some people might have. Do you see it, too? Given the perspective and the world events of recent years, it might well be the worst ever design for a couple of tall towers, no matter where.
