UK-based design studio Zaha Hadid Architects designed a new skyscraper that measures 330 meters tall as a part of the Trojena ski resort located in Saudi Arabia's Neom. It is currently on display at the Neom stand during the Cityscape conference in Riyadh.
Planned to be on the mountain opposite of the ski area, it overlooks an artificial lake to create the centerpiece of the location. The skyscraper has a crystal-like structure that raises in columns up to the peak. The display reads, "Elegant and monumental, this iconic tower will combine high-end retail, dining, and the dream-like experience of living in the clouds. This iconic commercial, high-rise tower will provide a rich platform for groundbreaking and tech-infused artistic content and experiences."
