This week, social media forum Twitter has been alight with news that the Baikdoosan Architects & Engineers-designed
Ryugyong Hotel in North Korea is due to complete in summer 2013.
The 330m-high hotel topped out in 1992 however construction was paused in the same year as North Korea was hit with an economic crisis following the fall of the Soviet Union. Work picked up again in 2008, restoring life to the project which had stood for six years without windows.
