ကြည့်ရှုမှု ၃.၁ သောင်း ကြိမ် · တုံ့ပြန်မှု ၁.၆ သောင်း ခု | Could these underground skyscrapers solve the housing crisis? They’re called Earthscrapers. Earthscrapers have been designed by cutting-edge architects all over the world as a way to combat overpopulation in cities. The most famous one was designed for Mexico City in 2009. It featured a 65 story layout, outfitted with apartments, offices, stores, and parks. Imagine taking the Eiffel Tower, flipping it upside down, and burying it in the ground? And from an urban development perspective, it makes a lot of sense to build both up and down. As I watched an in-depth video, I got more and more curious why no Earthscraper has ever been built. Then I kept watching... As compelling of an idea as it seems, Earthscrapers look like a nearly impossible construction task. To build the Mexico City Earthscraper, an excavation team would have to completely destroy 4 square city blocks. One built, the soil and water pressure on the foundation would be that of 100 military tanks stacked on top of each other. But the biggest problem, if the architecture held up, would be the anxiety and claustrophobia from having people live underground with limited sunlight...it’s giving Silo vibes. I love finding innovative tech & design projects that push the bounds of what’s possible. Would you ever consider living in an Earthscraper? Btw, if you run a company and want to learn how to tell stories in video content like me, I put together a free guide breaking down my formula. Comment “viral” and I’ll send it over. #tech #technology #realestate #architecture #architect #construction #homedesign #interiordesigner #future | Kallaway
