If you've ever wondered what cities of the future might look like, this new concept art from New York design firm Clouds Architecture Office has some beautifully outlandish ideas on the subject. The firm has proposed a tower that, instead of being supported by the ground and reaching up into the sky, would instead hang suspended from an asteroid. Named Analemma, the proposed skyscraper would be the tallest building ever created, and would travel thousands of miles each day between the northern and southern hemispheres in a figure-of-eight loop - including a daily pass over New York City.
New York design firm Clouds Architecture Office has designed a skyscraper that, instead of being based on the ground, would be suspended by a cable from an asteroid orbiting the Earth. Called Analemma Tower, the proposed skyscraper would be the tallest building ever created. While offices would be housed on the lower floors, sleeping quarters and an agricultural space would occupy the higher levels. "If the recent boom in residential towers proves that sales price per square foot rises with floor elevation, then Analemma Tower will command record prices", the company said.
