Thailand Unseen E15: A glitch in the matrix?

Thailand Unseen E15: A glitch in the matrix?

Is it a glitch, or they really done it ? When i saw it the first time i thought it was one more trick from my imagination, the fact is that the french construction group Bouygues dare to accept the challenge to give life to a very unique project of Ole Scheeren known for his innovative designs and bold architectural concepts, here a "pixelised" tower...

The history of the tower dates back to its inception in 2009 when construction began.
The german architect envisioned the Mahanakhon Tower as more than just a skyscraper but as a vertical city that would redefine the Bangkok skyline. The tower was designed to reflect the dynamic and vibrant nature of Bangkok, with its bustling streets and vibrant culture.
Completed in 2016, the Mahanakhon Tower stands at an impressive height of 314 meters (1,030 feet), making it one of the tallest buildings in Bangkok. Its unique design features a distinctive pixelated facade, with irregularly shaped glass panels that give the building a shimmering appearance, especially when illuminated at night.
One of the most striking features of the Mahanakhon Tower is its Skywalk, a glass-floored observation deck located on the 78th floor. This breathtaking attraction offers visitors panoramic views of the city skyline, providing a thrilling experience unlike any other in Bangkok. The Skywalk is a popular tourist destination and has become one of the city's most iconic landmarks.
In addition to the Skywalk, the Mahanakhon Tower also houses a luxury hotel, upscale residences, and a retail space that includes restaurants, cafes, and shops.
The tower's architecture and design are a testament to Bangkok's vibrant culture and modernity, making it a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to the city.
