This building displays a kind of hypermodern architectural style that has not, to my knowledge, been actually implemented anywhere yet. The overall building shape does not even have an official name. It resembles a cone in that in narrows substantially from bottom to top. But it is not a cone, as it does not terminate in a point. Rather, it is analogous to a cylinder whose top is oriented at 90 degrees with respect to its bottom, and in which the transition from bottom to top is smooth and gradual. I have named the shape of this building a “colinder” – a hybrid between “cone” and “cylinder.” How many other interesting geometric shapes have yet to be incorporated into buildings?
Height: 72.59 meters.
NOTE: I am not an architect and as such am not an experienced judge of the technical feasibility of actually building my designs, based on the present technological and economic constraints. I intend my buildings to be exercises in esthetic imagination and only create the exterior of the buildings. Perhaps they or some elements of them might inspire actual architects to build structures that resemble them. Moreover, perhaps future architects will discover ways to render feasible some of my designs that are currently unattainable. If either of these events happens at any time, I would be honored and thrilled to receive any information regarding such developments. #architecture #building #circle #cone #cylinder #fantasy #future #futuristic #geometric #glass #hypermodern #modern #skyscraper #stone
