Pinnacle at Symphony Place, an office and retail skyscraper designed by Pickard Chilton, completed in 2009, Nashville, Tennessee

But how could it disappear from its skyline? ArchDaily explains:
Cameras will be mounted at six strategic points; thousands of LED screens on the facade will then broadcast the real-time photos captured and logged by the cameras.
