Floating Observatories By Upgrade.Studio, DSBA And Mihai Carciun


This conceptual tower for Taiwan by the Romanian architecture firm upgrade.studio, DSBA and Mihai Carciun would feature observation decks floating up and down each side on helium balloons.

Called Floating Observatories, the design is the winner of the Taiwan Tower Conceptual International Competition and would incorporate a museum, information centre, offices, conference centre and restaurant.

The protruding pods would accommodate 50-80 people and glide up and down the tower controlled by a magnetic field.
