A Dutch architectural company has designed two skyscrapers that would be built in South Korean capital that resemble the World Trade Centre exploding during the 9/11 attacks.
The twin towers, that will be built at the entrance to the Yongsan business district by 2016, are set to be connected half-way up by a 'cloud-shaped' section with facilities including lounges, a swimming pool and restaurants.
But families of the 2001 terror attack victims said the towers resemble the clouds of debris that billowed from the World Trade Centre twin towers after hijacked planes crashed into them, Sky News reported.
Dutch architectural company MVRDV said it was not its intention to create an image that evoked the atrocity in New York.
