PUBLISHED: 11:23 GMT, 12 May 2012 Impressive new Cross Hashtag Towers in South Korea The hashtag - or # - has become the most recognisable symbol of social networking since the explosion of popular website Twitter. Now its stellar growth has prompted architects to embark on an ambitious project - building a skyscraper shaped like a hashtag in South Korea. The impressive structure will be formed of two towers with two bridges connecting them, giving the building its distinctive shape. It will include 600 apartments, a library and a gallery, while the top of the towers will be covered in gardens for residents. The gravity-defying Cross # Towers will stand in Seoul, South Korea, as a gateway to the new Yongsan business district. The unique idea for the building was proposed by Danish architects Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). |
