Dancing Dragons Towers

Dancing Dragons are two amazing skyscrapers under construction in Seoul, South Korea. These amazing buildings which are designed by Chicago based Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill architects, contain a program of residential, office, hotel and retail. The height of the first tower is 450 meters and includes 88 floors while the second tower is 390 meters tall and has 77 floors.

This great architecture is inspired by mythical Korean dragons. It seems that a series of miniature towers are applied and stacked on the facade, appearing to float beyond the building's edges. The construction of the first building has started in 2013 and is estimated to be completed in 2016.
