Most of the people internationally still remember the day when the World Trade Center collapsed in Manhattan, New York City. Some of us remembered what exactly happened at that specific, central moment at September 11, 2001.
However, some others in the globe claim that they didn't recognize the imagery that have been burned through our retinas. Not only do they dare to create skyscrapers that are similar to the shocking 9/11 imagery, but their business also inflame our anger and design them into apartment plans.
"I have to admit that [MVRDV] thought of the 9/11 attacks," Jan Knikker of MVRDV reportedly said in an interview with the Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad.
Ten years after the World Trade Center collapsed, MVRDV made headlines by its shocking design of "The Cloud." And Monday, the dutch firm has won the Feldbreite competition for the chance to design another apartment block in a Swiss city.
The two luxury rental towers that has been planned for completion in 2015 in Seoul, has made the twin towers resemble a cloud, and connect to each other inside the cloud on the 27th floor. Visitors would be able to swap elevators in the hub, which would offer amenities and a good view of the city.
The "cloud" surprising looks similar to the explosion that was created when the two planes hit the New York City twin towers.
Though without the same imagery that once shocked so many of us in the USA, Jobs & Hire still cannot believe that the company was able to bounce back and win over this competition.
What do you think the competition owners should do? Should they forgive them for making such a World-Trade-Center-mocking design before? Let us know below in the comments!
