X-Seed 4000 – the highest building ever conceived.

His height is between 4 000 m above sea level. With the 600-meter foundation construction will be able to run directly over the sea. X-Seed 4000 to accommodate between 700 000 and 1 000 000 inhabitants.

The project is being developed for the capital of Japan’s construction company «Tasah Corporation» as the building of the future, which will be combined art and life of interaction with nature. Unlike conventional skyscrapers, X-Seed 4000 would be to protect its inhabitants from the pressure drops and the change of weather conditions along the entire height of the building. Its design makes use of solar energy to power the whole system of maintaining the microclimate in the building.

Elevators are designed for 200 passengers and deliver on the upper floor for 30 minutes. In addition to thousands of apartments and offices in the X-Seed 4000 will be entertainment centers and parks and forests.

It is supposed that the cost of construction of X-Seed 4000 would be 300-900 billion dollars.

The company «Takanaka Corporation» developed a project to huge skyscraper height of 1000 meters and the diameter at the base of 400 meters, which is narrowed down to 160 at the top. Design of the building was designed in 1989 and it is calculated at 35 000 permanent residents and 100 000 workers. The total area of 800 hectares of which 240 – in the parks and roads.

The heavenly city of 1000 will be composed of fourteen blocks of each other. Each block is a dish bowl, with a recreation area with trees and ponds.

The floor and walls of each «bowl» made of refractory materials. Also, each unit shall consist of 6 sectors, among which the fire could not spread.

There are three ways to navigate through the skyscrapers. The first method – a trip to high-speed elevator, rasschitanom to 70 people who can move and vertically and horizontally. It will also train carrying passengers from the base of a skyscraper to his peak. The third way – «aerial vehicles».

Although the project is considered more seriously than many of its alternatives, it will still apply to such slozhnorealizuemym in the near future as the buildings, for example, X-Seed 4000.
