Not so original. Looks veeeeeeeeeeery similar to the tower proposed that's supposed to go on top of the old Met Life building in NYC.

That has got to be the weirdest thing I have ever seen, but I'll give it props for being unique and creative.

Wasn't this the building with the elephants in the rendering posted a year or so ago?

Reminds me of this Rem Koolhaas building proposed for NYC.

looks like a whiteish typical box shaped american skyscraper that has had its cladding ripped off serveral places to show off the office spaces inside the buildings.

very intresting design only thing that bother me is that the top dozent quite match the midsection

Wasn't it a design by Herzog & de Meuron ?

Proposed? This tower is under construction in NYC

bobglen · #12 Posted **Oct 20, 2013, 6:20 PM**

So, is this actually going up ?

One of the most beautiful skyscrapers I have seen on this site yet! Real shame it isn't being built in the US though.

Odd design. Looks like a picture of a highrise in the middle of collapsing. Maybe it would look different in reality v. rendering but from these few pics I don't think I like it.

Phil McAvity · #15 Posted **Oct 5, 2010, 9:57 PM**

^Exactly.

It looks seriously damaged.

rapid_business · #16 Posted **Aug 25, 2011, 5:51 PM**

What is the status on this building? Does anyone know?

Travis007 · #17 Posted **Aug 25, 2011, 10:05 PM**

^ Toronto will gladly reuse it, LOL. Anyways, interesting design and sure to be an instant icon for Bangkok. Hopefully this is still in the works.

Exactly! I would love to see this in Toronto

I'm interested in the form of architecture and it's reflection of the country's culture and identity. Does this form of building truly reflect the country it is in?

TheMaxMan · #20 Posted **Aug 26, 2011, 1:59 AM**

I like it. Looks like some fantastic post-apocalyptic apparition out of a SF novel. As long as it has its structural integrity, I'm all for it. Breaks up the usual clutch of lines quite nicely.
