Unbelievable. A proposal has come forth to build a massive pyramid over Tokyo Bay. When I say massive, I mean it. Godzilla would have a tough time wrecking this structure, because at 2,004 m tall, it would stand 12 times higher than the pyramids of Giza. The building, or rather, collection of buildings reminds me of the Arcologies from SimCity, or maybe Blade runner. It might be a pipe dream to imagine seeing this any time soon, though, as construction relies on materials that aren’t even available yet, like carbon nanotubes. Still though, if it was going to be built anywhere, it would be Tokyo. Hit the jump for a video showcasing this very unique design.
Here's an 8-minute video that shows you a grandiose idea somebody dreamed up: building a 3000 foot-tall pyramid in Tokyo Bay. This megacity would be so tall, and has such tremendous volume that 24 80-story skyscrapers can be suspended within, and people would travel inside it via the tubes that are also supporting the enormous structure. It's extreme engineering, indeed. You gotta feel sorry for those people living in Tokyo, all crammed together like sardines in a can, so maybe this grandiose idea can give them some elbow room. To rent the amount of space made by this huge structure, it would cost $10 billion a year within the city of Tokyo. If built, it will be the largest structure in the world. Go for it!
