An architecture firm called Clouds Architecture Office rolled up its sleeves to build the world’s first flying skyscraper. This skyscraper, which will be named “Analemma Tower”, is intended to be attached to a meteorite and suspended. If this plan comes true, the Analemma Tower will be the world’s first flying skyscraper as well as the world’s tallest building.
Analemma Tower will have a different structure than what we are used to. So much so that this skyscraper will not be affected by an earthquake large enough to destroy our planet. Because the building will not be in contact with the ground. In fact, according to the officials of the architecture company, this skyscraper will be connected to a sky stone 50 thousand kilometers above the ground with ropes. Let’s not go without mentioning that the project is just a dream for now.
Analemma Tower will orbit the earth
According to the plans of Clouds Architecture Office, Analemma Tower will orbit around our planet. The skyscraper, which will be stopped in iconic locations such as New York and Dubai, will allow people to wander around the cities in question. However, since there is no contact with the ground, people in the building will need to use equipment such as a human-carrying drone or parachute.
Of course, there is also the matter of the natural conditions at that height. The company will custom size almost every window and do whatever is necessary so that the building can withstand elements such as pressure and temperature. What if another asteroid hits the world’s first flying skyscraper or the meteorite that carries this skyscraper? This question has no answer.
Although the project looks impressive, it faces some unanswered problems, such as the meteorite impact. For example, no meteorite has been voluntarily caught so far. In addition, the thought of directing the path that a meteorite will take is not possible for now. However, the company argues that this is not a science fiction movie, and that it is possible to direct asteroids with the work to be done.
Let’s say everything went well and the Analemma Tower was attached to a meteorite. In this case, the building will have the potential to be completely self-sustaining. For example, electricity will be produced with solar panels. The water to be captured from clouds and rains will be used in a semi-closed system with recycling systems.
As a matter of fact, such a project will also be environmentally friendly. However, as we have just mentioned, in order for all of this to happen, we first need to go to the stage of managing an asteroid.
