Really weird proposal for Taipei (architecture)

i was looking for pond designs in fish culture and somehow ran into this and got me stuck to the computer for an hour looking at other stuff like it.

its a few years old, but is this happening?

No, that was one of the unsuccessful proposals. The design contract for the center was awarded to New York architects Reiser + Umemoto.

very cool, thanks.

Looks like the one currently building in Kaohsiung, though. We used more or less the same picture.
