World's first Invisible Skyscraper Infinity Tower

If not further, the desire of the human being to go invisible dates back to the ancient Greek. And this very desire that recently led scientists at the University of Texas in Austin to develop a thin material called a 'mantle cloak', like Harry Potter's cloak, has now led the American architectural firm GDS Architects to create the world's first invisible skyscraper 'Infinity Tower' through the use of a sophisticated LED facade system with optional cameras.

Instead of symbolizing prominence as another of the world's tallest tower and incredible ultra-modern construction, the visionary GDS Architects impressively aims to provide the world's first invisible tower in South Korea, representing the Power of Absence and the Strength of "Nothingness" often referred to by revered American architect Louis Kahn, who designed the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (1962).

The glass-encased 1,476-foot Infinity Tower designed by Architect Charles Wee, for which the South Korean government has granted approval for construction near Incheon International Airport just outside of Seoul, will certainly represent the new "Soul" of Korea. 

6th world's highest tower

When completed, it's expected to come in sixth on the list of the world's highest towers, behind Tokyo SkyTree, Guangzhou's CantonTower, Toronto's CN Tower, Moscow's Ostankino Tower and Shanghai's Oriental Pearl.
