WORLD MOST CREATIVE ARCITECHTURE BUILDING




If you’re keeping score at home, will be Kentucky’s largest ever public/private real estate project.

World's Highest Escalator

The Umeda Sky Building is the seventh-tallest building in Osaka City, Japan,and one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. It consists of two40-story towers that connect at their two uppermost stories, withbridges and an escalator crossing the wide atrium-like space in thecenter. The escalater ride is an event in itself as it feels like youare floating up into the sky. This is a cheap way to see the city, lessthan 10 USD to go up to the observation area.

Located in theUmeda district of Kita-ku, the building was originally conceived in1988 as the "City of Air" project, which planned to create fourinterconnected towers in northern Osaka. Eventually, practicalconsiderations brought the number of towers down to two.

Just a couple more weeks and the FBI will break ground on a new 120,000-square-foot, three-story headquarters building.

It’s competitor, The Burj Dubai, yet another SOM tower for the people,has already undergone construction and will be between 705 and 950meters, the tallest structure in the world, at least until the Al Burj is built. These towers will beat out the KVLY-TV mast by half, if they reach their maximum projected heights.

Dynamic Skyscraper

Of course, the biggest news is that Dubai is soon to be home toseveral buildings that will not only be the tallest skyscrapers in theworld, but will surpass the current record holder for tallest structurein the world, the KVLY-TV mast, without batting an eye. The Al Burj, also being developed by Nakheel, will be anywhere between 750 and 1000 meters high.

High rises have been sprouting all across the region like weeds in a sandbox.

Some of the newest concepts may well be a group of the most definitive examples of gigantism I have seen in the skyscraper world. The Dubai Towers-Dubai (creative name for creative architecture), by Sama Dubai, is one of the most recently unveiled designs.

More of these needles will most definitely continue to shoot out ofthe Middle Eastern sand in the future, as I have seen one such “topsecret” design myself when I visited Pickard Chilton earlier this fall. Jon Pickardsaid, “I’d love to tell you how tall it is, but then I’d have to killyou.” Unfortunately, I did not bring my ninja-cam to take photos of themodel.
Before you all get penis envy from looking at all these phalluses sparkling in the desert sun, take a look at the cost of building such gigantic wonders, and check out this slide show. Good thing “the richest 2% of adults in the world own more than half of all household wealth.”

The People’s Building

The most interesting aspect of this project [outside of the obvious interest in its form] is what it and the growing number of new projectsin China suggest about communism and architecture. Discussions of formand all that aside, does communism promote ‘better’ architecture thancapitalism? I mean, they’re not necessarily designing everything to bethe cheapest project possible all the time [as the recent work there shows].I’d suggest peeping the entire article here, at Eikongraphia, as its [pretty] interesting.More on this project [and a bunch of others] at BIG and JDS [interesting side-note: they both worked for OMA, which MNP will look into some other time, before starting off on their own]
