Tokyo’s Sky Mile Tower set to be world's tallest and twice as tall as the Burj Khalifa(1700m) | Tokyo

Tokyo’s Sky Mile skyscraper to be the tallest in the world Plans show that the 5,577 feet-high Sky Mile Tower will stand in Tokyo Bay with a cluster of islands at its feet, dwarfing everything else on the city's already soaring skyline. The tower will feature a hexagonal design, which was found to be the most wind-resistant shape, with six interconnected “building legs” forming a slotted, tapered structure that should withstand imposing winds. It will offer multi-level open-air sky decks at every 320 metres and shared public facilities including shops, restaurants, hotels, libraries, gyms and health clinics.Up to 55,000 residents will be housed, with lifts running vertically between the top and bottom of each of the building's five “residential zones” and horizontally within each zone, forming a looping lift system, providing service to and from the different sky lobbies.The eco-friendly complex will be designed to utilise waste heat from one part of the building to another for increased energy efficiency. Water will be "centrally collected, treated and stored at various levels" and distributed using gravity, eliminating the need for water to be pumped upwards from the ground level. pic credit: Kohn Pedersen Fox

would be nice to have a building this tall in the u.s.
-
o yeah it's finally completed and then BOOM an earthquake.
-
I saw tons of blueprint similar as this, but only a few of them were realized, 1mile height is technically almost impossible, especially in Japan, which is one of the most unsustainable country from frequent earthquake. Personally, I like this sort of video, but I'm not very believe it.

A mile is 5280 ft, so this is going to be 300ft TALLER than a mile, which is just nuts. Not to mention the fact that this tower is going to be taller than MOST mountains....absolutely insane. The mountains in my area are roughly 4400 to 5000 ft, and the views off those are obviously going to be much different, but just in height terms the fact that those are mountains and now this....holy mother....

song please
-
who is gonna live in that thing robots? Newsflash Tokyo will eventually shrink like the rest of Japan. Of course the answer is obvious! Something like this has a better chance of being built in Africa or Middle east at this moment lol
-
Nice Phantasy..., but i bet this will never never be built "
-
omg i love this music!
-
Name of song? Please!
-
yeah good luck guys see you in about 1000 year from now, because that project will take a long time to build...
-
Looks like when you get to a structure this tall, it cannot be solid from the bottom to the top but have open areas along the entire length to allow high winds to pass through it. Amazing how the physics change with ever increasing heights.

Ok !!!!!!!!! Anotherone bites the dust the new Babel tower ??? anyway , congrats to the engeneers it looks awsome
-
Good project but how to stand an earthquake is a big problem
-
Wait for the tsunami.
-
Errrrr....build a Mile High tower in a severe earthquake-prone city ?
-
redonk
-
Omg architects are unstopab'e
