This particular concept is designed to be situated in China or Japan. It is depicted as boasting a [unique coiled tail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huang-yu-xing) at the base and a facade that will be capable of displaying different colors. The body of the [snake-like structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keyboard-design1) could include apartments or business space, while the 'jaws' would be home to a club or restaurant. Ultimately, the Asian Cobra Tower is an admittedly audacious design that pays homage to a creature that is known as a symbol of wisdom and power in some Eastern cultures. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Serpent-shaped Architecture:** There is an opportunity for architects to explore more unconventional designs inspired by animals or mythical creatures. - **Colorful Facades:** There is potential for buildings to feature dynamic and interactive facades that create a unique visual experience for viewers. - **Mixed-use Structures:** There is an opportunity to design buildings that serve multiple purposes, such as residential and commercial spaces, in a more integrated and efficient way. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Architects can embrace unconventional designs inspired by animals or mythical creatures in their projects. - **Construction:** The use of unique designs and dynamic facades in construction can create a visual impact and differentiate buildings in the market. - **Hospitality:** Building mixed-use structures that incorporate entertainment spaces like clubs or restaurants on the upper levels can create unique and profitable business opportunities in the hospitality industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Lotus Plant-Inspired Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-future.md) - [Curved Sculptural Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alberni.md) - [Cobra-Inspired Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cobra-table.md) - [Gracefully Dynamic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bond-tower.md) - [Textile-Inspired Skyscraper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airside.md) - [Eco-Conscious Slim Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muraba-veil.md) - [Staggered Cubic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ooda.md) - [Greenery-Filled Skyscraper Terrarium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrarium-cheongdam.md)
