Tulsa, Okla.-based architecture practice Kinslow, Keith & Todd released renderings of a skyscraper concept that takes the shape of a tornado, The Creators Project reports.
The firm developed the concept for a special report for TulsaPeople magazine, "Reimagining Downtown Tulsa."
Different levels of this cyclone-shaped tower would have terraces and observation decks. But the highlight of the building will be a weather museum, fitting for the world’s tornado capital.
The architects are still looking for investors to support the project, but the images have been getting a whirlwind of buzz online.
