Skyscraper Design Resembles Crumbling Building
This new Bangkok skyscraper will resemble a crumbling building. Designers and architects are constantly pushing the boundaries of skyscrapers #39; design. Soon to be constructed in Bangkok is a luxury skyscraper dubbed MahaNakhon. The structure will stand 77 stories high on a 3.6 acre site in the central business district of the city. The look is rather unique as the building appears as though it is crumbling. The architect states "With its distinctive sculptural appearance, MahaNakhon has been carefully carved to introduce a three-dimensional ribbon of architectural #39;pixel #39; that circle the tower #39;s full height, as if excavating portions of the elegant glass curtain wall to reveal the inner life of the building. The design for MahaNakhon dismantles the typical tower and podium typology to render not a tower in isolation but instead a skyscraper that melds with the city by gradually #39;dissolving #39; the mass as it moves vertically between ground and sky." The skyscraper base and surrounding grounds will house luxury retail shops and fine dining along with indoor and outdoor visually appealing terraces.
