Uh what? It would look just as terrible if not more so, terrible proportions, like a Hong Kong skyscraper wall blown up to a ridiculous height with two random highrises put on top.

M101 SKYWHEEL KUALA LUMPUR
https://www.studiofaporsche.com/

The first of its kind in the world, the M101 SkyWheel with its two towers is a landmark designed to redefine the Kuala Lumpur skyline.

For our approach we applied local Malay design elements through a functional and thoroughly modern lens, turning traditional patterns into bold and new imagery.

Three signature elements help define the building: its red meridian stripe, the reflective black glass and the titanium pedestal, which elevates the building and instills a sense of presence. Each element operates individually and complementarily to form one grand design.

By applying our functional product-design-oriented approach to the façade, with a focus on materials and attention to detail, we ensured that the design stands as a product that challenges conventional design thinking and allows visitors to interact with the space in entirely new ways.

I can't believe they actually went ahead with this giant chronograph design.

I feel like its a joke that went too far...

According to the developer, 60m ferris wheel's frontage will be embedded with LED screen - visible hundreds of miles away, at its vantage 220m above ground. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

LED screen is viable as the wind resistant is quite ok.
