The soon to be tallest tower in Asia

The new york based architecture firm Asymptote Architecture, led by Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture, was awarded in January the contract for the Millennium Tower World Business Centre (wbcb) in Busan, Korea. the design of three tapared towers extending from the base was unanimously chosen by judges of the international competition organised
by the Busan International Architectural Culture Festival (biacf). It is to become the tallest tower in asia at 520m.

Asymptote's three-towered design for the World Business Center Busan is a newly minted approach where the notion of singularity and autonomy gives way to a strong juxtaposition of form and voids. Simultaneously a single entity, the towers are also read as three distinct forms set against Busan's dramatic natural backdrop of sea and mountains. The base of the tower artfully negotiates the site at the entrance level while from the top of the midsection the three slender towers rise above the skylobby level and gracefully taper upwards around a spectacular central void. Through its formal and sculptural qualities this unique architectural expression is a powerful symbol of 21st century Busan and a beacon for it's trajectory into the future and onto the global stage.

The soon to be tallest tower in Asia is extremely unique and could almost be referred to as three separate towers. The sharp lines of the design are enchanting and make the structure look out of this world. This tower shows what is to expect as future landmark skyscrapers.
