Known as the “koala” building for the bear shapes that hug each tower’s circumference, this is Hong Kong’s Lippo Centre, completed in 1988. The uniquely cuddly twin towers are 186m tall and were intended to appear less harsh on the eye than your average skyscraper.
Fuji tower in Tokyo
The futuristic shape and silver orb of the Fuji tower in Tokyo could have been lifted from the set of a Seventies’ sci-fi film. The sea of cars beneath Fuji Television’s headquarters and the night-time lasers only add to the industrial wasteland feel. The 32m wide globe is an observation deck.
Genex Tower
The Brutalist-style Genex Tower is an enormous city gate welcoming new arrivals from Belgrade’s Nikola Tesla airport. It is 115m tall and has two raw concrete towers connected by a small bridge and a 360 degree restaurant. It scores extra retro points for its dated signage.
