Behold the "Big Bend", a U-Shaped building unveiled today in #NYC. As per the Daily Mail the Big Bend is going to be the "longest building in the world"
Oiio studio has unveiled designs for curved skyscraper 'The Big Bend' as solution to expensive zoning laws. The project's concept drawings reveal a skyscraper reaching an apex then curving back down. And featuring an elevator system that can travel in curves, horizontally and in loops. Stretching 4,000 feet long, the glass-lined tower would need to feature an elevator that defies all current designs
The elevator would travel in curves horizontally and in continuous loops. The track changing system allows for the horizontal connection of two shafts on the top and bottom to create a continuous loop
In a bid to work around the challenges of New York’s zoning laws, design studio Oiio has imagined an innovative concept to straddle Billionaire's Row on 57th Street.
According to the studio Oiio:
New York city’s zoning laws have created a peculiar set of tricks through which developers try to maximise their property’s height in order to infuse it with the prestige of a high rise structure. But what if we substituted height with length? What if our buildings were long instead of tall?
‘If we manage to bend our structure instead of bending the zoning rules of New York we would be able to create one of the most prestigious buildings in Manhattan. The longest building in the world.’
As always, I like to put my own conspiracy spin on it. The elites do not want us owning property and living in 10'x10' boxes RENTING/LEASING space instead of OWNING. Is this the beginnings of it wrapped in a "cool/hip curved" package?
Let me know in the comments! God Bless!
