Pixel Cloud Skyscraper - Singapore

[Howie]

This digital cloud skyscraper was a finalist in Singapore's recent contest to design a pavilion for the World Expo 2010. And it's nothing short of wondrous.




By Singapore-based Design Act, "My Dream, Our Vision" is constructed from 3866 cubes of varying opacity, and serves as a physical manifestation of the intangible: digital information floating above the green landscape. Embodying "xin" (or "new"), visitors are beckoned inside by music to post their dreams of tomorrow, to incite innovation.

And it just looks really, really cool.

Should be taller.



I like it. Although I can't make out what is building and what is adornment. Not that it matters.

What fun!

looks like a rubix cube has fallen apart

BTW, this isn't a building in the normal sense, this is the Singaporean pavillion for World Expo 2010 which will be held in Shanghai (where they will actually build this). I'm not sure what actually happens to these buildings after the expo is over - I presume they stay up, but do they then use them for other purposes?

If the railyards were to be developed, we would have height restrictions from the AAL, BUT....if we were to create a such an abstract building like this it would more than compensate. What a great 'out there' design.
