This is my solution for elevators and more for my City in a Building idea. My thought on the whole idea is a layered ring of protection for all services. With their own power, life support and everything else they would need if the surrounding building was undergoing major damage. And the elevators still ran.
One of my joys is sailing in the open water and witnessing nature’s storms in person. Two things that should not mix together. But what if you could build a sailing ship designed to ride hurricanes?
This design is for a 220+ floor City in a Building, capable of housing and working up to a half-million people.
This design incorporates 24 pillars with an interior outdoor courtyard with 314sq meters of space. The complete roof structure is supported by the 24 free-standing 1.2m x 4m x 7m pillars. The end of the roofs may contain cable stays to support the roof.
