# Angle-Altering Skyscraper Designs The Baltyk Tower Looks Different Depending On the Angle Of View By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2017-06-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baltyk-skyscraper-design References: [newatlas](http://newatlas.com/mvrdv-baltyk-poznan-tower/50161/) & [mvrdv.nl](https://www.mvrdv.nl/projects/baltyk) Dutch architecture firm [MVRDV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portlantis) is inching ever closer to unveiling a spectacular new skyscraper design, in the form of the Baltyk tower, that keeps your eyes entertained by switching up its perceived appearance depending on what angle you look at it from. This is not to say that the building moves and twists in real time as that would be architecturally impossible, but rather the building has been designed in such a way that it looks narrower or thicker depending on the angle of view. This [mixed-use tower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schieblocks) is set to be occupied by office and commercial space. This is a clever example of a skyscraper design that is designed to position the building not just as a functional tower but as a veritable landmark and attraction. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Perceptive Architecture:** The Baltyk Tower showcases a trend in architecture that manipulates perception by altering the appearance of the building based on the angle of view. - **Interactive Landmarks:** The Baltyk Tower exemplifies the trend of creating structures that engage viewers by offering a different visual experience depending on their perspective. - **Dynamic Skyscrapers:** The design of the Baltyk Tower represents a trend in architectural innovation that aims to create visually dynamic skyscrapers that captivate viewers from different angles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** The architectural industry can leverage perceptive designs like the Baltyk Tower to create unique and memorable structures that attract attention and redefine urban skylines. - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers can explore the concept of interactive landmarks to enhance the value and desirability of their properties, offering viewers a one-of-a-kind visual experience. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** The tourism and hospitality industry can utilize dynamic skyscrapers as iconic attractions that draw tourists and guests, providing a memorable and visually stunning experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gracefully Dynamic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-tower.md) - [Staggered Cubic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ooda.md) - [Twisted Concrete Tower Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alta-tower.md) - [Multifunctional Angled Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertikal-nydalen.md) - [Captivating Viewpoint-Integrated Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portlantis.md) - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Feminine Silhouette Tall Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telus-sky-tower.md) - [Curved Sculptural Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alberni.md) - [Glass-Clad Stacked Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/505-state-street.md)
