Two Disc Skyscrapers for Baku

South Korean Heerim Architects firm has proposed two towers for Baku, capital of Azerbaijan and the largest port on the Caspian Sea. "Full Moon Hotel" will symbolize the full moon of its name, and will be located across the bay from "The Crescent Hotel" (height: 158m, 32 floors)
This first image might make you believe they have started construction on the Death Star:

Luckily enough it's not the end of the world yet since other images show that it's quite thin:


I like the combination between the Full Moon and Crescent hotels:

Woah! Makes an impression, really. The disc in the first picture reminds me the Death Star from SW a bit...

@Zachariasz, yeah it's pretty daunting at first, and I agree I bet the digner took some foot notes all the way down to the location of the small gap in it. heh

Is whole world going to look like this...? Cyberpunk fiction can become reality not so far away from now. The question is: in what way will it become true?
