Yanko Design (The DREADCO of the design world) goes on the move with their "migrant" buildings.
I don't know which is more worthy of comment; the insane number of basic things that are wrong with this technological mishmash or the question of whether this picture is of the unicycle skyscrapers fleeing a collapsing city or caught in the middle of an architectural Panzar attack.

Until you run into an actual building, that is.
