Photos: World's First Invisible Skycraper

See the world's first "invisible" skyscraper
The Tower Infinity skyscraper, to be built outside Seoul, South Korea, will be “invisible” at eye level during the day but will glow at night.

Asians are it again, with their cutting edge, avante-garde technology. This time around, they have decided to construct the world's first invisible skyscraper in South-Korea.

The Tower Infinity skyscraper going up outside of Seoul, South Korea, will be invisible — sort of. The glass-spired skyscraper, which recently received a construction permit, will incorporate optical technology to make it appear as if it's not really there during the day. However at night, the building will glow, in its grandeur.

See  photos of the award-winning design after the cut:

The mixed-use building will be built near South Korea’s Incheon International Airport.

1,476-foot high-concept high-rise will be visible from above, but it will seem to disappear to those walking near it at ground level.

This graphic shows how the building’s design will use cameras, computers and LED lights to make the building’s façade seem invisible.

The complex will include a 4-D theater, restaurants, a water park and landscaped gardens.
