Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto has released the designs for an ethereal tower of floating islands in Qianhai Bay, Shenzhen.



The architect’s winning proposal tackles the question of “how can a tower evolve while continuing to attract attention, as the Eiffel tower does?” The tower is set to rise 268 meters (880 feet) composed of ninety-nine individual towers with most floating with minimal connection to the main element which looks as if islands are floating in mid-air when viewed from below. A centralized core is a foundation to the entire tower held together with outlying located tension cables resembling water trickling down to the bay. Within the cables, there’s a mirrored inverted frozen geyser housing a viewing platform, exhibition space, restaurant and cafe.
