SOUTH KOREA TO BUILD AN INVISIBLE SKYSCRAPER BY DISPLAYING IN REAL TIME IMAGES ON GLASS

Designed by American firm GDS Architects, the structure will be equipped with cameras which film its surroundings. These images can then be recreated in real-time on the glass surface of the building by 500 rows of LED lights.

In 2011, the company, in collaboration with Samoo Architects and A&U, was awarded the first prize in a National Design Competition to plan and engineer an observation tower to become Korea's National Landmark.

The tower will contain various attractions and entertainment facilities, including a water park and a roller coaster.

At 450 metres (1,476 feet), it is expected to come in sixth on the list of the world’s highest towers, boasting the third highest observation deck in the world.
