In an illusion that TV magician David Copperfield would be proud of, work is about to begin on building the world's first 'invisible' tower. Tower Infinity, a 450-metre tall glass structure, will use a series of state-of-the art LED lighting and cameras to create a 'reflective skin' on the exterior of the building to make it 'disappear', according to the architect behind the scheme. GDS Architects first began designing the tower on the outskirts of South Korea's capital Seoul and near the city's airport in 2004, but has only now been given the green light to start its construction. Futuristic: A combination of state-of-the-art lighting and cameras will create the illusion the tower disappears
