A habitat on Mars, revolving skyscrapers, autonomous passenger drones… Dubai is always coming out with kooky concepts but this has to take the cake!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clouds Architecture Office (COA), based in New York, has reportedly presented a new idea for the world\u2019s next tallest skyscraper, and it involves leaving the stratosphere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
COA has proposed suspending the world’s tallest skyscraper\u00a0from an asteroid, leaving residents to parachute to earth!\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is estimated that it will be cheaper to build one in Dubai than in New York as proven specialists in tall building construction work for one-fifth the cost of contractors in NYC.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Using the asteroid system, the building can be transported to anywhere in the world…\u00a0<\/p>\n
We’re wondering if this is an elaborate PR stunt?\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n
Prefabricated modules would be hoisted up from earth and plugged into the building’s extendable core, which would be tethered by cables to the\u00a0asteroid.<\/p>\n
The plan is to place a large asteroid 50,000 km above sea level (commercial planes usually fly at about 12km) in Earth\u2019s atmosphere, and suspend a giant building from it with a \u201chigh strength cable\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
The designers are hoping to acquire an asteroid from NASA\u2019s scheduled asteroid retrieval mission in 2021<\/h3>\n
The structure uses the Universal Orbital Support System (UOSS), an inversion of the traditional earth-supported system.<\/p>\n
It’s reported that the project will be oriented towards storage rather than habitation purposes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hmm, is this science gone mad, or is it an elaborate hoax?\u00a0We don’t know.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What are your thoughts?\u00a0<\/h3>\n
