    prerna
    The document describes two hypothetical supertall skyscraper projects: 1) Tokyo Sky City 1000 in Tokyo, Japan, proposed in 1989. It would have been 1,000 meters tall with 196 stories, housing over 35,000 residents and 100,000 workers. The design included stacked dish-shaped plateaus with interior greenspace and apartment edges. 2) India Tower in Mumbai, India, proposed in 2010 at 718 meters with 126 stories. Designed by Foster and Partners, it would have included a hotel, residences, and retail. Construction was halted in 2011 after initial proposals in 2008 under a different name and shorter height.

    (3,300ft)

    PLAN ?

    The plan consists of


    a building 1,000
    metres (3,281ft) tall
    and 400m (1,312ft)
    wide at the base,
    and a total floor area
    of 8km2.

    WHY THIS TOWER


    IS SO FAMOUS ?

    It is a hypothetical
    architectural
    project.

    If completed, the Sky


    City 1000 would be
    the tallest man-made
    structure in the world,
    edging out theBurj
    Khalifain Dubai. It
    would share this
    record with
    Kingdom Tower.

    The design, proposed in


    1989 byTakenaka
    Corporation, would
    house between
    35,000and 36,000fulltime residents, as well
    as 100,000 workers.

    It comprises 14 concave
    dish-shaped "Space
    Plateaus" stacked one
    upon the other.

    The interior of the plateaus


    would contain greenspace,
    and on the edges, on the
    sides of the building, would be
    the apartments. Also included
    in the building would be
    offices, commercial facilities,
    schools,
    theatres, and other modern

    Since its announcement, it has


    gained a lot of attention from the
    world'sarchitecturalestablishment,
    and was featured on
    Discovery Channel's
    Extreme Engineeringin 2003.

    Land prices in Japan were the highest


    in the world at the time, andKisho
    Kurokawa, one of Japan's most
    famous architects, has said that
    staggeringly ambitious buildings
    employing highly sophisticated
    engineering are still cheap, because
    companies pay 90% of the cost for
    the land and only 10% for the
    building

    Tokyo's onlyfire helicopterhas


    even been used in simulation tests
    to see what the danger would be if
    a fire were to break out in the
    building.
    Triple-decker high speedelevators
    which would be used in the building
    are also being designed in labs
    outside Tokyo.

    Although this project has gained


    more serious attention than many
    of its alternatives, it can be
    considered similar to projects as
    density,mixed useconcepts such
    asLe Corbusier'sVille Radieuse.
