London Eye and Singapore Flyer, you guys will have another rival here, GOW Nippon Moon. It’s a giant observation wheel designed by UNStudio to bring a fascinating journey where you can learn about environment, culture, and your central part in it. This concept Ferris wheel will be developed somewhere in Japan (the location is disclosed) and it will feature 4 main elements that define the logics of socio-architectural design, enhancement of the senses, interactivity, experience and romanticism.
The familiar design is integrated with interactive elements of a virtual world created in order to allow visitor to become part of the social network that evolved around GOW. Visitors can create their own augmented realities, it stimulates their imagination.
