Details of the controversial NEOM project in Saudi Arabia have become clearer over the past year, with 23 architecture studios believed to be working on the multi-region mega-development.

Currently, 23 architecture studios, including Morphosis, BIG, Zaha Hadid Architects, OMA and UNStudio, are known to be working on the controversial scheme.

The new concept images include a mirror skyscraper, and buildings floating over a marina, giving off the illusion of invisibility.
