Tower Infinity, World's First 'Invisible' Tower

Computer Rendering of Tower Infinity

Hellooo people, welcome back!!
I think you've known that I'm a k-popper, right? Well, if you've read all of my posts you would know it immediately. Yes, I'm obsessed by Korea. South Korea more precisely. I love not only their music, but also their culture, language, places, etc ((Of course I love Indonesia more. No worries.)). Nah, right now, I wanna tell you about one of their amazing place. It's called Tower Infinity.

Cheongna City Tower or Tower Infinity or Ecoprism Tower is a proposed tower in Cheongna International City, Incheon, South Korea. It will be located near the Incheon Airport. This tower is actually still a project, not builded yet. South Korean government gave approval to build the tower in September 2013. This tower is dubbed as "World's first 'Invisible' tower". How can it be invisible? They use a high-tech LED facade system, this technology will allow the tower to blend in with the surrounding skyline, so it looks like the tower is invisible.



The building will be spread over an area of 145,500 square metres (1,566,000 sq ft). The tower's height will be 450 metres (1,480 ft) and it will make the tower being the sixth highest tower in the world and the third highest observatory in the world. It will be the sixth highest after Tokyo Sky Tree (634 m (2,080 ft)), Guangzhou TV & Sightseeing Tower (600 m (2,000 ft)), CN Tower (553.3 m (1,815 ft)), Ostankino Tower (540.1 m (1,772 ft)), and Oriental Pearl Tower (468 m (1,535 ft)).




Capturing and processing of image from camera
The tower has an ability to 'disappear'. How? The tower will have high definition cameras placed at three different levels on all six sides of the tower. The cameras will acquire real time images. These images will be processed and will be stitched into a monolithic image that will be projected by 500 rows of LED screens to the other side of the building. Because of the arrangement of the LED screens, the tower will appear invisible from only certain points distributed around the tower. The screens will be so arranged that the tower will be visible from high altitudes, such as to airplanes and birds.

 The tower will be used for entertainment and leisure purpose. It will have a 4D Theatre, restaurants,  a water park, landscaped gardens and the third-highest observation deck in the world. And it will also have 15 floor and 2000 parking lot.

Well, I think the tower is so impressive, do you agree? Even if it haven't builded yet I still can imagine how the tower will be. LOL blame my oh-too-high imagination. Imagine, when you're arrived at South Korea and walk out from Incheon Airport you'll be welcomed by an amazing building! Let's experience it by ourselves, aye? But before we go there, let's save some money first ((OMG I really need to save money, why did I keep buying foods?!)).

Before we end this post, I wanna show you the video of Tower Infinity. The video is actually a short version of my post (?). Hohoho so guys, thank you for reading my post about this amazing building! SEE YOU ON MY NEXT POST!!!! /Teleports to Venus/

Matswapati



Helloooooo people!! Welcome back!!
In this post, I wanna tell you about Matswapati! Do you know what Matswapati is? Matswapati is a culture festival of West Java which is held by SMAN 3 Bandung to introduce West Java's culture to all society, especially teenager, because they're the one who will keep the culture in the future. This event was held on September 27th 2014 at Lapangan Bali, Bandung.

There were some guest stars in this event. One of them was Glenn Fredly! Woaah can you believe it? With only Rp. 25.000 you could meet Glenn Fredly! I think it was very cheap, do you agree? Oh and there's another guest stars like Barsena (The winner of Nez Academy), Saung Angklung Udjo, Komunitas Hong, etc. And there were special performances from our school's club like KPA3, T'sT, KV3, MK3, and LSS.

A few days ago, I was being a reporter. I asked some of my friend, event's committee or not, about the event. Wanna know? :)) Here we go.

First, I asked my friend who's not a student of SMAN 3. She said, Matswapati was a great event because she could meet her old friend and there was Glenn Fredly. The ticket's price wasn't very expensive either, so it was not really a burden for a student like her. BUT, the foods were so expensive! And the location made her shoes and her pants dirty, because there were dusts everywhere.

The next one is my friend who's a student of SMAN 3, from X Science 3 ((Guess who? ^-^)). She said, "I think they choose a wrong place, because when I promoted this event to my old friends they were like 'huh where is Lapangan Bali? I dont think I'll come because I don't know which public transportation I should use' so it makes not so many people came to this event, I mean there were so many people came but when I visited another schools event that took place at 'better' place, there were so many people came. And about the stand I think it was somehow failed because the fact that there were stand who was full of visitor but there were also stand who was so empty". But she also said that it still can be fixed on the next event.

I also asked some of my friends who was a part of the committee of the event. They admitted that there were some lack of the event. But I think it was okay. Because there's no perfect event in this world, right? And I know how hard it is to be a committee. They should make sure that everyone who came feels comfortable and the event must be succeed. It was quiet stressing and very tiring. So I think we must appreciate their hard work, because they already gave their best on it.

Overall, the event is great! Because the ticket wasn't that expensive and the guest stars was very cool. And the fact that it was a Culture Festival, not a Pentas Seni like other school held was making me proud. My school was not mainstream and our event has a meaning ((Not like other event doesn't have a meaning but culture festival have a deeper meaning I guess)). Besides all the lack, we have tried our best to made the event succeed. So, let's give a round of applause!!

Well guys, I think that's all. See you on the next post, people! Don't miss me!! >_< /teleports to Jupiter/
