Minus5 Architects has proposed an artistic building projection concept for the tallest building in the world -- the Burj Khalifa.
The firm, along with Studio Mr. White, had the idea to project scale silhouettes of architectural monuments from around the world onto the Burj Khalifa. The projections would be shown in black and white and would give viewers an idea about how these other well-known pieces of architecture compare in size to this colossal building.
The building projection would be an excellent way of showing off the building's main attraction -- its enormous height. Providing tourists and viewers from around the world an actual, to-scale comparison of what those height differences look like would likely boost tourism in the area.
