A building made of Legos maybe?

I wrote about Merdeka 118, Kuala Lumpur’s highest building. I was also intrigued by this building in Bangkok. It’s the King Power Mahanakhon, once the tallest skyscraper in the city.
It looks like an incomplete skyscraper made out of Legos. There are 77 floors and the building contains a hotel plus retail stores and residences.
The photo was taken by Vince.

That's an interesting photo but I don't think I'd like being in that building. It looks like it could tumble down at any time.

The Lego must be quite heavy duty.
It would fall over otherwise.
I could never build Lego structures
Quite hopeless was I.

I thought Lego and Meccano were boring.
Just never really got into it

Yeah, I believe this is in Thailand. I saw a YouTube video about this building, and they did an amazing job with the architecture, making it look like a pixelized building. They did this intentionally to draw the attention of anyone passing by, and they were successful. I just hope that the structural integrity of that building is not jeopardized because gravity appeared to be unfavorable to that design, potentially causing an imbalance in how the building's weight is distributed.

The Building looks quite bizarre!!
It seems as if some of the top floors had parts moved just like the pieces of a Jigsaw Puzzle !
I wonder who was the Architect !
Yet may be such landmarks also attract tourists.
And yes, I think I have heard about Merdeka 118 as well.

Yes the so called "Concept" building !!
I hope the people in the shops at the top do not feel jittery!

It definitely looks just like Legos. It's just amazing what can be built now.

@MarieCoyle Yes, it's bound to be safe. Just doesn't look like it.

I thought that, too. But surely it had to pass building codes, etc.

Too tall for this gal. They've done a lot of cool things with Legos.

That is what it looks like and some of the pieces are falling out. I would not want to be in that building looks none too steady.

I would not want to go into that building. It looks like it could collapse at any time.

Yeah but even Legos have to built a certain way or you can flick them and it tumbles over. Lego's are a great building point, but if you go against the laws of physics,. It will be the same every time.

That's true. You can never push the envelope too far.
