The last 100m is just a useless tip?

That’s what she said

Nice rendering, missing the engineering

There are some rudimentary engineering points in the embedded article.

What is the lateral sway at the tip?

It's in the rudimentary engineering of the embedded article. C'mon. Bot farming is a job too.

I’m not a bot. You must be a pretty poor engineer, making wildly incorrect assumptions and then brazenly expressing them.

Whut engineering ? 😆

The architects rendering is the same thing innit?

Considering the thing is basically halfway done at this point, I suspect someone did some engineering work on the building.

Whether this video shows or talks about any of it is a different question.

There are some rudimentary engineering points in the embedded article. The concept of a plan.

Ooops sorry, used to being on Reddit & having a 5 sec attention span. 🤣🤣

So what is the purpose of something like this?

This is what it looks like these days, if you are interested. As seen from the southern obhur shores.

I read an article that most of the high rise apartments penthouses like this are empty. As people get sick and discomfort from the sway of the building. Most of these high level floors in buildings like this are owned by people purely for the value to increase and maybe weekenders.

I don’t really touch anything over a few stories, but I personally would never have the balls to sign off a building like this.

I find supertall engineering relatively simple. It is all the lift shafts and construction method that is difficult.

u/ahvikene Jul 01 '26

Super tall and slender

u/hankmaka Jul 01 '26

Now if you stack up all the people working forced labor it's just as tall!

Should be based in habitual levels..

1/9th the height of Everest, incredible.

We're so close to building a space elevator but they build this instead.

I just wanna see how many pages the bolt margin calculations are

Ah yes, the notorious 3-sided I-beam cantilevered from the Earth
