The way we see the world is informed by our past experiences, so it’s entirely possible that when the architects of Rotterdam-based MVRDV drew up the plans for The Cloud, a pair of luxury residential towers that are set to go up in Seoul in 2015, no one involved with the project immediately saw a mental image of the World Trade Center under attack. Unfortunately, that’s all we can see — not some whimsical, pixelated cloud hovering around the 27th floor. We’re curious if they’ll be moving forward with the approved design now that photos are starting to create some controversy on the Internet. Click through to get a better look at the structure, and let us know the comments if you think we’re being too sensitive about the design.
