Amazing! BNKR’s Earthscraper is what a skyscraper would look like if it were built upside-down inside the earth. The proposed tower for Mexico City would essentially extend about 300 meters into the earth with bridges spanning the center of the structure so people can look down at the very tip (sort of like looking into a well-lit hole I guess). Wow, I want this to be built so I can visit!
I’m not an architect nor a geologist but it seems to me that Mexico City is not the smartest place in the world to build towers (up or down). Situated atop three of the large tectonic plates that constitute the earth’s surface, Mexico is one of the most seismologically active regions on earth. The motion of these plates causes earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Agreed. This is an excellent idea, but the first thing I thought of was the seismic issues.
There is no way this could be possible underneath Mexico City’s Zocalo is a riverbed and several aztec pyramids . THis will never happen
