"Art and science? You betcha. 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."

If I was Beyoncé, I wouldn't enjoy being related to that.

Kinda reminds me of those future robots that appear at the end of AI - Artificial Intelligence

I don't know what y'all are smoking but I think it looks really cool . It looks really organic as opposed to the regular geometric/symmetrical shapes you see.

I think the Beyoncé "inspiration" is more a case of namedropping rather than genuine inspiration, because a lot of the stuff in that music video is directly inspired by other modern artists.

It looks really nice.

Somehow it reminds more of flowing water tho

The impact!

Happy for ha impact, but that building is quite tacky...

I think the building looks beautiful and modern.  But the thing is - it's forgettable. Every proposal nowadays always has a freeform organic feel to it and I'm sure much thought has been put into it but nothing feels fresh anymore. I'm still waiting for that big "ermagersh" moment when I look at a rendering and it takes my breath away. I almost want architecture to take a little bit more of a geometric route in order to bring back more dramatic shapes and sharp edges.

It looks a bit like a tentacle

Australian firm Elenberg Fraser has won planning approval for a 226-metre-high Melbourne skyscraper that will feature a curvaceous form taken from a music video by Beyoncé (+ slideshow).

The new Premiere Tower at 134 Spencer Street will boast a series of curves and bulges designed to make it as structurally efficient as possible, but that also reference one of Beyoncé's music videos.

The shape is an homage to the undulating fabric-wrapped bodies of dancers in the singer's music video for Ghost – a song from her self-titled 2013 album, which was originally published as one half of track called Haunted but released as a stand-alone music video.

"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," said the Melbourne-based studio.
