Kaustubh KatdareTrust me, it's not at all a new technology. In India; 99.99% of the buildings change their appearance. -

What do you mean? (Is it a joke or something?)The_Big_KTrust me, it's not at all a new technology. In India; 99.99% of the buildings change their appearance. -
Dancer_EngineerThere is a building right across my home, where the top part (a dome like structure) seems to be detached from the building at a certain time of the day.
Magic! 😁 -

Dancer_Engineer
Hehe...Praveen-KumarOr an optical illusion?
The building color matches the color of the sky and it looks like the dome is hanging in the sky. 😛 -
PraveenKumar Purushothaman
But it looks so only at one particular angle right?Dancer_EngineerHehe...

Yes, a particular angle range.Praveen-KumarBut it looks so only at one particular angle right? -
PraveenKumar Purushothaman

PraveenKumar Purushothaman
Eagerly waiting for it... 😁Dancer_EngineerOk I'll get a snap the next time I catch hold of the dome hanging in the sky 😛

Dancer_EngineerOk here is the snap of the hanging dome.
The max that I could capture, to get a better view I would have to jump 90degrees from the window. 😛
So find out in the image. 😀
-
ISHAN TOPREOh that's the color effect. Illusion as you rightly called it 👍
-
Dancer_EngineerHere is another snap of the building.
-
Dancer_Engineer
😛 😁IssueOh that's the color effect. Illusion as you rightly called it 👍
Actually, you get a better view if you stand perpendicular to the wall which matches the color of the sky.
That is where I could not jump 😛 -
ISHAN TOPREyep. Even if you view the first photograph (tilting and seeing from right to left), you can get that HANGING effect almost real.
-
Dancer_EngineerYes! 😀

Did you read the comment on the article? 😁CIVILPRINCESSi stumbled across this link now. check it out 😀

BTW, you being a civil engineering; do you think this project will be successful?
What's your take on it? 😀 -
CIVILPRINCESS
i think it can be built successfully. we have already started construction of even more complex buildings like the 1km high tower which i think will be the most difficult one. when that itself is being carried out with no fear i think this will not be much of a problem. only thing we've to take care of is the safety and strength of the precast blocks. 😀Dancer_EngineerDid you read the comment on the article? 😁
