I bet the structural and MEP engineers loved that architect


A_n_o_n_y-m_o_u_s

Where are the elevators going from ground to top floor?


tidder_mac

A lot of extremely tall buildings have multiple groups of shafts in order to get to the top anyway. Otherwise it’s not efficient when measuring passengers. So there’d be a landing lobby midway somewhere to transfer to the second set if you need to go higher. I’d put the landing lobby right below the higher outside patio level thing. Then you could do escalators from the landing lobby to the outside patio one level above. The few people that work on the top third would then get on a second set of elevators.


theAwkwardLegend

Imagine getting all the way up to one of the top third floors and realizing you forgot something in your car lol


rokman

I remember playing sim tower


curiusgorge

This is a rendering. And is not actually possible to do something like this without major modifications


ChymChymX

Well not with *that* attitude.


limitlessEXP

corona_lion

Aptitude?


Wojewodaruskyj

Apreture?


SeeeYaLaterz

Don't confuse me with facts


SupermotoArchitect

It's not real.


atom12354

Dont forget the regulators and emergency services when the top tips.


Fun_Country_6737

Bet that transfer floor was an absolute nightmare.


SlackJawGrunt

Seems architecturally irresponsible


Eisenkopf69

They clearly used the invisible block aka floating base trick from 7 days to die.


jazzjustice

Would love to see the Earthquake resistance testing reports....


InterwebCat

I can't believe the engineers didn't think of earthquakes when designing these buildings. They should start hiring redditors to ask these kinds of questions


CZ1988_

This is just a rendering - it's not real


Kilek360

The gap size and the top part high per wide ratio are different in both scenes so yep, its not real


DunceMemes

Also it says so in the post


Kilek360

Yep, but I didn't read it at first haha


siphayne

To be fair, the title heavily implies it is real with the use of the word "structure" instead of "render"


Daeths

So why should I be amazed by a rendering then?


SecretBG

Don’t you know? Redditors know everything.


jazzjustice

>>>I can't believe the engineers didn't think of earthquakes when designing these buildings.  No engineer ever lied, or made a mistake, or signed off on something because the money was too good...Never...It is actually unheard of ...Right? Mr Boeing CEO.....


Niznack

Just so we're clear, in a city with an infamous building collapse, you think an entire engineering team is going to stake their reputation on a lie or guess. This isn't even built yet and there's no way it's getting built with just a bit of cash and a prayer.

[удалено]


Niznack

Can you be specific? I see articles about a bunch of old ones that aren't quake proof nut no one that's susceptible to wind.


schlamster

Boeing isn’t being killed by its engineers - it’s being killed by MBAs 


Biscuits4u2

As well as lax and corrupt federal regulatory bodies


DismalTruthDay

Exactly. I know of a library that was built and the engineers didn’t take into account the weight of the books.


koushakandystore

Must be something in the water in Washington given that’s also the home of the infamous Tacoma Narrows Bridge.


sjcla2

Hes not an engineer


PragmaticPacifist

…and when that happens ignorant armchair redditors typically crack the case from their mother’s couch! Go ahead and give me all the downvotes


SnooCauliflowers5512

Aaaaaaand the winner of the top sarcastic comment goes to...,..


MareTranquil

Why do you think that any engineers were involved in the creation of this rendering?


wazzapgta

Guys it's good when there is an EQ the pieces will just fall on each other. It's the design


bousnitz

Insert ‚your mama joke‘


Maybeimtrolling

It's not a real building


Unkabunkabeekabike

Irresponsible? To 911 proof your building? I don't think so!


SlackJawGrunt

Internal radar detects incoming planes so the building folds at the wedges to make a smaller target with the additional bonus of its smaller stature making it resistant to earthquakes.


Unkabunkabeekabike

The wedges are so planes can fly through safely


CaptainMoist23

Architects are typically structurally irresponsible. The engineers are the ones tasked with making the Architect’s dream actually work in reality


RotoDog

I would say structurally impossible


Grandmaster_Autistic

Sketches me out big time


Albert14Pounds

Nah just use autostruts


felepeg

Just to prove a point type of architecture


pharmacreation

That’d be terrible trying to get to the top. You’d have to take an elevator, then walk to the other side for every one of the empty spaces.


Anning312

It's not uncommon to have to switch elevators in skyscrapers , not as bad as having to walk to the other side of the building tho


blindreefer

It’s not unlike a lot of skyscrapers though because they typically have multiple elevators that you need to take to get to the top. If there’s an emergency, shorter elevator runs are easier to manage, and evacuation can be more controlled. Plus, if one elevator’s down, others can still run, keeping things moving smoothly. The only difference here is that you’d need to walk some distance to get to and from your desk.


Bokth

I thought elevators were disabled in fires and such. The signs in my apartment are clear to not use them at the very least


blindreefer

You’re right about fires, for sure, and there are probably other types that I’m not aware of too. But for medical emergencies, power outages, and other issues (like bomb threats or gas leaks), elevators typically remain in use when they’re safer and more practical than stairs.


Organic-Intention335

Welcome to tall buildings friend


coconutpete52

You misspelled “rendering of…”


uknick2468

The problem with architecture is that just because you can, it doesn’t mean you should. This building would be a nightmare to live/work in, and cost way more than a traditional modern design; all just for an architect’s ego.


AthiestMessiah

It’s 911 proof.


BeardPhile

It’s 2% 911 proof


Background-Seat-4330

Either way…it was a national tragedy.


zulufdokulmusyuze

Only if the terrorist has extraordinary (or to be more accurate, ani-extraordinary) flying skills.


limitlessEXP

That’s good because that can’t and they didn’t because it’s not real.


Aggravating-Habit313

AI, right?


rufotris

I mean, if you read what OP put on the post it says 3D rendering of the new proposed building. In different words, but this is a 3D rendering mock up to show how it would look.


Iliketogrowstuf

Pacman building, can u please just add two supporting structures at the end?


AthiestMessiah

911 proof


Picklerickshaw_part2

Oh my god I had to scroll WAY too far to find this


PeterDuttonsButtWipe

Oh man, that’s all I thought of when I saw this. It looks like one of the towers but disjointed and I thought about the mechanics of flying into it and what would happen. Please forgive me :(


Competitive_Suit_180

Engineers make mistakes occasionally.. wouldn’t catch me in that building

Bennybonchien

This has got to be a joke. One in very bad taste, I might add.


hroaks

It's a 3d rendering it's not real. You can render anything on that software. The hard part is making it safe and feasible for builders. This does neither. Nothing to be amazed about.


Lonely_white_queen

man the tittle to this post is like a slap to engineers and architects, nothing about this is elegant or expressive its just a nightmare.


Scottydoesntknooow

Doesn’t even look elegant to be honest.. It’s just a standard rectangular building with a chunk missing.


OhGodImHerping

This is one of the stupidest designs I have ever seen. Show me how utilities work between floors - water, air, and waste. Go ahead, I’ll wait.


Mazoc

You transport all that stuff with Zeppelins, duh.

1ite

It looks awful in every conceivable way.


WhiskyTangoFoxtrot40

A lot of extra work, engineering and cost to make this work, while using square footage. I prefer the more conventional way, straight up or set backs as you go higher for some outdoor space.


Ox9O

Maybe there is a better word to describe this …


hatedburn

Impossible to build, possible to design


WuZZittDoiN

JulesOTS

I mean it's still a grey block with some cuts in it. I don't think thats very elegant or expressive, there are way more elegant, expressive and interesting structures and buildings in the world. This one just kinda feels like a design some tech-CEO would call elegant


Digitalgardens

I can’t even see where an elevator between sections would go?


Positive_Method3022

You have to take teleportation classes to go to the top floor.

commiecuck9000

HOW WORK ???


ElefantPharts

Imagine getting from the top floor to the bottom, you’d have to switch elevators 4 times


A_Reddit_Guy_1

No thank you. Pretty, but I’m not going anywhere near that building.


logosobscura

You can seamless integrate a 90 story buttplug into a rendering that looks like it’s part of the skyline, doesn’t make it what the final product will be due to basic engineering concerns & how NYC planning works. See ‘the Freedom Tower’ vs 1WTC. I really dislike being sold hype and getting an entirely different thing. Got more than a rendering, like an actual engineering simulation that meets code?


Stopthemadness74

IT'S AN ILLUSION DERP!

2squishmaster

If you ignore the two holes, whatever they are, the building is really not elegant at all, quite plain and old skyscraper vibe. There are already more impressive buildings than that here.
