X-Seed 4000

X-Seed 4000

The X-Seed 4000 is the tallest building ever fully envisioned, meaning that the designs for construction have been completed.

The X-Seed 4000 "was never meant to be built," says Georges Binder, managing director of Buildings & Data, a firm which compiles data banks on buildings worldwide. "The purpose of the plan was to earn some recognition for the firm, and it worked."

Its proposed convert|4000|m|ft|0 height, convert|6|km|mi|1|abbr=on wide sea-base, and 800 floor capacity could accommodate five hundred thousand to one million inhabitants.

It was designed for Tokyo, Japan by the Taisei Corporation in 1995 [ [http://digitalstudio.gre.ac.uk/content/view/125/31/ Contemporary Theories of Architecture Brief - the Digital Studio ] ] as a futuristic environment combining ultra-modern living and interaction with nature.

Unlike conventional skyscrapers, the X-Seed 4000 would be required to actively protect its occupants from considerable air pressure gradations and weather fluctuations along its massive elevation. Its design calls for the use of solar power to maintain internal environmental conditions.

A sea-based location and a Mount Fuji shape are some of this building's other major design features — the real Mount Fuji is land-based and is convert|3776|m|ft|0|abbr=on in height, nearly convert|224|m|ft|0|abbr=on shorter than X-Seed 4000.

Some estimate that the cost to construct the X-Seed 4000 structure may be somewhere between US$300-900 billion, in 2006 dollars. [ [http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/michael/blog/?p=24 Accelerating Future » X-Seed 4000 ] ]
