January 8, 200719 yr Yeah, Tiger Woods drove a golf ball off of the top of it. Can't remember it's name though. I'd love to do something like that. Burj Al-Arab. Trapical had a link to it in his post. :wink: Lol, I was like "yea... I just posted about it 2 posts up..."

January 9, 200719 yr There is no reason in most parts of the world to build tall buildings; there is plenty of space to expand outwards. There is no point making it more of a engineering challenge then needs be. Besides how would you have enough room in the tower for elevators, water, sewerage, counter balances, dampeners and fire stairs; the higher the tower, the more you need of the above to service the higher floors. There is nothing stopping you from creating concepts, however the concepts themselves are infeasible to construct due to weak materials, amenities and practicality. did you just say that so that you could LOOK like you dont have a clue, or are you serious? Even if it did have to get too thin to accomodate elevators, the last few floors could use stairs...it wont hurt to walk 2-3 flights of staird. thanks everyone for the sigs!

Even if it did have to get too thin to accomodate elevators, the last few floors could use stairs...it wont hurt to walk 2-3 flights of staird. Uhh did you understand what I was saying? The more floors you have, the higher the density of elevators, water/sewerage pipes etc. needed to run the tower. This is due to the fact that everything on the top floor needs to go through every floor below it to get to ground level; it's common sense.
January 9, 200719 yr After 9/11, I'm all against pointlessly tall buildings. Their just sitting targets for BUSH. Building a ton of smaller buildings that equal up to that much space would be a much better idea if you ask me. Sorry, HAD to fix that.

Well, your link never did mention the name. :P Heheh, like I said, I didn't know the name so how was I supposed to recognise it? :P I only know it as "That really big hotel that Tiger Woods drove off", but you did remind me that it is 7 stars.
