Every city has its Masonic Boaz and Joachim twin towers. Except
North America of course. This design for Seoul is absolutely brilliant in
design but the resemblance to 911 is unmistakable. None of the other twin
towers are joined above ground or even come close to resembling the ill fated
NYC Trade Centre.

two Seoul skyscrapers, is seen in this artist’s rendering provided Dec. 12,

A
Dutch architectural firm might try to find a silver lining in its cloud that
critics say resembles a World Trade Center under attack on Sept. 11, 2001.
The firm, MVRDV,
apologized on its website Monday after being criticized for the resemblance
between the exploding Twin Towers and the “pixelated cloud” designed to bridge
two skyscrapers planned to rise above Seoul, South Korea.
.
“There is nothing finalized about the design,” Seo Hee Seok, a spokesman for the project’s developer, told Bloomberg News Tuesday.
The Seoul skyscrapers,
designed to stretch 57 and 60 stories high, is planned for a development near
U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan, the headquarters for U.S. armed forces in the
country, which is slated to return to South Korean control by 2016, Bloomberg
reported.
In its apology, the firm
said it wasn’t its intention for the building to resemble the attacks and that
no issues were raised about it while designing the structure.
