X-Seed 4000 - the tallest skyscraper in history, created on paper

While the world is arguing about what kind of building is the tallest on the planet, the Japanese corporation Taisei has designed a 800-story skyscraper for Tokyo with a height of 4 (!) Kilometers.

The skyscraper, named X-Seed 4000 , is the tallest of all, designed to date, if you do not take into account the fact that it has been created only on paper.

According to the project, the skyscraper will be based on a base of six square kilometers, will exceed Mount Fuji (which it is like) more than 200 meters and will be able to accommodate from 500 thousand to 1 million people.

In addition to its impressive height, the X-Seed 4000 is one of the greenest buildings in the world: it will get most of its energy from the internal microclimate system from sunlight. In addition, the building will be able to protect its inhabitants both from pressure drops and from the vagaries of the atmosphere. Elevators of the building, designed for 200 people, will be raised to the highest floor in 30 minutes.

According to preliminary estimates of experts, for the construction of the X-Seed 4000 may require an amount of from 300 to 900 billion dollars.

To say that this is impossible is probably silly. However, now the X-Seed 4000 looks more like a utopian vision of a modern “green” urban development than a competitive design solution.
