Ryugyong hotel in North Korea, once known as the worst building in the history of mankind, now made a history by stamping itself as the prettiest glass building with glistening glass façade. The construction of this building started in 1987 and then it got stopped in 1992 due to the government’s financial difficulties. Again the construction work got started in April 2008, nearly 16 years later. This building is shortly known as “105 hotel” and “The 105”.
This hotel covers an area of about 3, 900,000 sq.ft. This 105-story hotel rose to a height of 330 meters and its height simply dominates the Pyongyang skyline. Moreover this building is expected to be the world’s tallest hotel, after its completion in 2012. This building contains three wings rising at 75 degree angles and it is supposed to have five revolving restaurant and an observation deck.
The façade of this hotel is constructed with very shiny and amazing reflective glasses and glass windows on one side of the concrete giant. Mirrored glass has to be fixed at the other side of the muddish-grey concrete structure. The old 3000-room hotel is made up of concrete formed and molded by cement masons. This new Ryugyong hotel resembles a blossoming flower and the concrete shell is covered by a blue sheet of glass.
Ryugyong hotel is going to incorporate glass paneling and telecommunication antennas. The openings of the building are used for the vegetable garden and orchards. Two water basins at the central wing are used to collect rain water and the collected water is used for the irrigation facilities of the vertical garden. The rest of the ground and the unused part of the basement will be occupied by green slopes and wooden zones. This hotel also incorporates sanitary installations and kitchens, plugged into the central shafts.
This building is also intended to contain a hospital, a bowling alley and seven revolving restaurant/night clubs. This hotel also included an elevator shafts. Amazingly there are many safety equipments hanging from the bottom to top of the building including harnesses, ladders and safety nets. It is estimated that the revamping plan will cost nearly $2 billions. Hopefully, this revamping plan will result in great success and will make the Ryugyong hotel a notable icon.
