Tokyo’s Sky Mile skyscraper to be the tallest in the world
Plans show that the 5,577 feet-high Sky Mile Tower will stand in Tokyo Bay
with a cluster of islands at its feet,
dwarfing everything else on the city's already soaring skyline.
The tower will feature a hexagonal design, which was found to be the most wind-resistant shape,
with six interconnected “building legs” forming a slotted, tapered structure that should withstand
imposing winds.
It will offer multi-level open-air sky decks at every 320 metres and shared public facilities
including shops, restaurants, hotels, libraries, gyms and health clinics.Up to 55,000 residents
will be housed, with lifts running vertically between the top and bottom of
each of the building's five “residential zones”
and horizontally within each zone, forming a looping lift system, providing service to and from
the different sky lobbies.The eco-friendly complex will be designed to utilise waste heat from one
part
of the building to another for increased energy efficiency. Water will be "centrally collected,
treated and stored at various levels" and distributed using gravity, eliminating the need for water to
be pumped upwards from the ground level.
