MahaNakhon, also known as the Pixel Tower, has celebrated its opening with a light show in Bangkok. The 77-storey building will house a hotel, bars, restaurants, residential apartments and retail stores. Architect Ole Scheeren: 'In some ways when you look at it, it almost seems incomplete or unfinished.
Thailand has welcomed an interesting modern addition to their city skyline called the MahaNakhon, or the Pixel Tower. Bangkok's
tallest building, standing at 314-metres tall, will house a luxury
hotel, bars, restaurants, residential apartments and retail stores. The building celebrated its official opening on August 29 with a spectacular light show in downtown Bangkok.
Ole
Scheeren, the German architect who designed the ultra modern-looking
tower called it a 'a vision of a tower that is very much about process,
about becoming, about developing,' in an interview with CNN before the building's completion. 'In some ways when you look at it, it almost seems incomplete or unfinished,' he said.
The
building will have 200 apartment spaces and box-like balconies that will
create a distinct jagged look to the shape of the tower.
Mr
Scheeren said that the Thai client wanted a building that will stand
out in his city among all the other unique buildings like the robot and
the elephant building.
