Architects can come up with some interesting ideas for buildings.

Take Frank Gehry … who would cho up pieces of paper and tape them around in all sorts of loops and curves and then leave it to engineers to figure out how to build it.

But there is a skyscraper project planned for Seoul, Korea (ROK) that has been accepting design proposals for the project –

A Dutch design company submitted a design for two identical towers. They are connected in the center by a series of cubes that is supposed to be a “cloud” …

“The Cloud” would be a series of lounges, restaurants and offices complete with roof top gardens half way up connecting the two towers.

Gee – what does this remind me of … hmmmm … looks like something from about 10 years ago or so …

Could it be …. ?

No way … can’t be …

Could it ?!?

How can they not say it looks a lot like something that many would not like to think about – or forget.

Are they kidding ?

Are they serious ?

If anything … the design proposed is goofy at best.

This would be one building that I would not want to take an elevator ride in …. sorry folks …

I think the Dutch designers have been spending too much time in one of those Amsterdam “coffee houses” ;-)
