Beyoncé Inspires Design Of Australian Skyscraper



Beyoncé can add another impressive achievement to her long list of successes.

The video for her song Ghost, which was part of the visual album she released at the end of 2013, has provided the inspiration for a curvy skyscraper that is planned for Melbourne, Australia.

The architecture firm's website notes that the building, called Premier Tower, features a vertical cantilever design for maximum efficiency, but "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's curvy design is reminiscent of clips which show a woman—possibly the singer—moving slowly with arms stretched overhead while seemingly naked under a thin, tight sheath.

The mixed use structure is slated to include 660 apartments, a 160-room hotel, and retail space.

It will be located in the city's business district across from the Southern Cross train station.

Can you imagine a skyscraper that looks like her?
