   Few more images.

   Nice standalone but doesn’t mesh with anything else in the skyline.

   wouldn’t this be really uneconomical use of material and space? I also think the mass would make it a bit of a blight in it’s neighborhood.

   I love a big glass tower as much as the next person – but this seems a bit silly for the sake of it?

   Looks more suited to some where in China to me. . .

   Feels like people never design buildings to actually be practically used anymore. Window cleaners are going to have a hell of a time with that

   I wouldn’t be surprised if that thing acts as some sort of giant infrasound whistle in high wind conditions. Creating annoying vibrations in nearby apartments.

   It does look very cool though.

   Clearly no one considered the window cleaners

   Yet another bloke who sends a model off to the rendering company to "design"

    This won’t get built because the ratio of the site to the enclosed volume isn’t great. Also you need four cores. Also, the surface area to enclosed space isn’t great, and the heat loss would be not so great. Also, the glass budget alone would prevent the building from making any money. Cool or no, the economics wouldn’t work.

    as a civil engineer, HOW

    I also can render random shapes that look like buildings with no idea how to make them work as buildings.

    This guy has never built anything, he just makes cgi architecture porn with zero functionality.
