Soul - The South Korean government has agreed to the construction of a skyscraper that will appear invisible thanks to new cladding technology. The building, named Tower Infinity, will be 450 meters tall and will be located near Seoul, close to the local international airport. This was reported by the news station CNN.
    The tower was designed by the American studio GDS Architects and will be developed by the state-owned South Korean real estate company Korea Land & Housing Corporation.
    The invisibility effect will be achieved using optical cameras that will project real images of the surrounding space onto the building's cladding. LED technology will be used for the cladding, and the images projected onto it will create a seamless background, making the building blend in with the sky.
    Essentially, it can be said that what is behind the building will be projected onto its surface.
    The system will have an operator who can manipulate the "intensity of invisibility," so the building will sometimes appear solid, other times semi-transparent, or completely invisible.
    The facade system can also be used for broadcasting special events or projecting advertisements.
    The building will be used for entertainment activities. It will have several observation levels, a cinema, a theme park, a swimming pool, and numerous restaurants.
    Although the creators were not primarily focused on achieving a height record, upon completion, Tower Infinity will rank as the sixth tallest tower in the world. However, the completion date is not yet known.
