“Art and science? You betcha. For those more on the art than science side, we will reveal that the form does pay homage to something more aesthetic – we’re going to trust you’ve seen the music video for Beyoncé’s Ghost.”
The building will reach 68-storeys and have a 160-room hotel, 660 apartments as well as commercial space.
