A new skyscraper is set to go up in the Australian metropolis, and it will be in the shape of R&B star Beyonce's curvaceous body.


In the works from architecture firm Elenberg Fraser, the tentatively called Premier Tower features stunning curves and edges that take direct inspiration from Queen Bey's famed form, reported Us magazine.


The building, which is expected to house retail and residential space, mimics the superstar's shape in an artistic way and also finds function in its design.


"The twists and turns of this new project belie its pure and simple, first principles rationale... This project is the culmination of our significant research into how to best work with individual site and climatic constraints, brought together using our new parametric modeling techniques," the firm writes in a statement.


"The complex form '" a vertical cantilever '" is actually the most effective way to redistribute the building's mass, giving the best results in terms of structural dispersion, frequency oscillation and wind requirements."
