Inspiring disasters (posted on 10/12/11)

























The Cloud is  a pair of residential highrises reaching 260 and 300 meters in Seoul, Korea by Rotterdam-based architecture practice MVRDV. They should be finished by 2015.

In my view, the aforementioned towers look like they are inspired by the 9/11 disaster. Having said that though, they are impressive. After all a disaster can be inspiring.

It's like a pixel explosion. Conceptual and semiological extensions!
