U Big Bend Shaped Skyscraper Breaks Every Record of Height

Skyscrapers never seem to cool down all over the world, especially in the United States, when recently an architectural firm in New York, the US just released a new record of the height of the building. This article explains the key facts and context behind skyscraper.

Key Facts About Skyscraper

This U-shaped building is called The Big Bend. As expected, this building will be located in Billionarie's Row, located on Manhattan Road 57, which is known as one of the busiest areas, possessing many skyscrapers in New York.

The building is designed with a rather slender shape, with a length of about 1.22 km and is bent on the highest peak. Overall, this whole building looks like a U-shaped upside down at the end of the Mahanttan horizon, New York.

This building is considered to be the tallest building in the world, more accurate than the longest in the world when it has an extremely impressive design with a U shape. Big Bend will be installed with special elevator system to can be moved in a curved, horizontal and vertical way continuously, many times along the length of the glass-lined building. This can be considered as a way to overcome the conventional architecture.

A groove changing system will be designed to allow connecting two axes at the top and bottom to create continuous loops for the elevator.

It is estimated that the height of the building can double the height of some of the highest skyscrapers such as Burj Khalifa (the tallest building in the world) and New York's One World Trade Center (the highest building in the area western hemisphere).

Why Skyscraper Matters

In response to the reason for the construction of many different skyscrapers on the same place is due to the strong economic development after the introduction of the One57 building in 2014 that made everything on the 57th Street replace change spectacularly.

Before the first quarter of 2016, the volume of goods sold here increased by an average of 625%. This once again confirms the position of skyscrapers in stimulating the economy.

The design team representative said: ". There is a huge obsession in Manhattan. It's an obsession with skyscrapers. Investors are trying to maximize the height of their properties. It seems that the height of the building is proportional to its reputation, the higher and more unique a building will increase its reputation and attract public attention. Whether it is valuable or not. . "

When asked about the reason for changing the design idea, Ohio design firm said: ". New York's planning law has forced developers to find ways to both take advantage of the maximum height. does not violate the law.

Instead of trying to bend the law, we can bend the structure of the building. So we can create a unique building that has never been before, and ensure its legitimacy.

Big Bend will be a pioneer in finding a solution to deal with height restrictions under Manhattan law. We can create extremely unique skyscrapers without having to worry about the sky limits. . "

However, this project is still waiting for permission to be built.
