media facade conference 2007 London, UK

After we have done the realization of the hotel facade and have introduced to the public, we were kindly welcome to the first media facade conference in London organized by the Mediaarchitecture.

so this is an observatory in fact. through this object i can observe the milestone. this observatory is a strange object in the landscape attracting the visitors. the question is: what it it for? answer: an enigma
