Death Star Skyscraper to Rise Over Baku, Azerbaijan Skyline

Feb 29 2008

Korean based architectural firm Heerim Architects & Planners is set to dominate the skyline of Baku in Azerbaijan with a 521 foot high waterfront skyscraper that closely resembles the Death Star from Star Wars movie fame.

The "Full Moon Rising"

Although the building is relatively flat, from directly in front the "Full Moon Rising" building does appear spherical and contains a void where the main planet destroying weapon of the Death Star was located.  When complete, the Full Moon Rising will have 35 floors, with 382 covering an area of 104,182 square metres.
