The Kim Il Sung University Educator's Apartment, (Korean: 김일성종합대학 교육자 아파트) also known as the KISU Residential Towers, are two high-rise residential skyscrapers in Pyongyang, North Korea. Built between 2012 and 2013, Tower One stand at 153 metres (502 ft) tall with 45 floors, while Tower Two stands 132 metres (433 ft) tall with 37. Their official name suggests that their main tennants are the didactic staff of the Kim Il Sung University of Pyongyang.^[4][5][3]

The two towers are part of the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's so called "new architectural era" which emerged from his personal passion for monumentality and megalomania, from which he had promised better benefits for the fewer members of the studying middle class, and for everyone else, an immersion in a "totalitarian fairytale".^[6] Representing a newer postmodernist style of architecture, the towers differentiate from most of the buildings in Pyongyang which mostly resemble the 1970s and 1980s totalitarian architecture style very widespread and common in North Korea.^[7][8]
