The world has many incomplete buildings – some are still in construction, while some have lost the battle against time. Now, thanks to a few talented people and their drones, some of the most iconic of these buildings come to life in magical displays.

Dutch art installation company DRIFT and drone light show firm Cyberdrone have teamed up to reconstruct some of the most famous building torsos on the planet – with the help of drone lighting. They call their installations ‘aerial sculptures,’ which are designed to imagine the future of architectural projects and complete the ruins of the past.

“With both depth and simplicity, DRIFT’s works of art illuminate parallels between man-made and natural structures through deconstructive, interactive, and innovative processes”, the company says.

According to their Facebook page, “Cyberdrone makes up for what is lost, dressing the ruins in futuristic architectural clothes. It’s a drone light restoration which is happening, brick by brick, right in front of your eyes.”
