The spirit of Singapore has been captured in this new Digital Cloud Skyscraper for the World Expo in 2010. The project, led by Singapore-based Design Act, uses cubes to generate a modern skyscraper sculpture.
Check out the gallery to see more of this project that has been entitled "My Dream, Our Vision."
Implications - Modern architecture typically embraces minimalist aesthetics, but many building designers responded to the aftermath of the global recession with futuristic edifices that defy all notions of subtlety. By embracing geometric shapes, avant-garde forms and show-stopping facades, these savvy architects created jaw-dropping concept skyscrapers that fly in the face of the dull depression-era constructions created by previous generations.
