It's, like, this ginormous thing they're making in Japan. It's supposed to be a self-contained--
Eh, f*** it. Here's a quote from GFF.

So here's the deal. In an attempt to clean up all the crowded and polluted city areas, some architectual company in Tokyo is attempting to make a gigantic self contained "skyscraper" with its own shops, parks, transportation system, etc. This thing is over 3 times the size of the Eiffel tower and called Sky-City.

It might be way too ambitious for its own good and have the plans fall apart, but as of now, its pretty damn interesting.

Um, yeah....

Discovery Channel has been doing shows and such about this for almost a year.

Is that really that big though for a whole city with malls and stadiums and housing complexes?

Super N · 06-13-2005, 02:15 PM

^Probably. But not that many malls, etc.

I just wanna see how they manage to make this thing wind resistant.

I think that it's a pretty good idea.

I don't. If so many people live there= more ofa chance that it could be held for ransom by someone. We don't have anyone from Contra to stop them, so I'm not lookin' forward.

So it's an Arco from SimCity 2000. Yay.
