X Seed 4000 Location X seed 4000 location Continue Analog Building X-Seed 4000X-Sen Shushi 4000 X-Seed 4000General informationStatus proposedTypeMixed useLocationTokyo, JapanHeightRoof4,000 m (13,123 ft) Technical Details Floor Count 800 X-Seed 4000 is a visionary skyscraper. [1] The idea was initially created and developed by Martin Pasco. Its proposed 4-kilometer (2.5-mile) altitude, 6-kilometer-wide (3.7-mile) sea-base, and 800-floor capacity can accommodate 500,000 to 1 million residents. The structure will be made of more than 3,000,000 tonnes of steel. It was designed for Tokyo, Japan in 1995 by Taisei Corporation as a futuristic environment in conjunction with cutting-edge and technological life and interaction with wildlife and nature. [2] [3] Transportation methods within X-Seed will most likely include maglev trains. The X-Seed 4000 is never meant to be created, says Georges Binder, managing director of buildings and data, a firm that compiles data banks on buildings around the world. The purpose of the plan was to earn some recognition for the firm, and it worked. [4] Unlike traditional skyscrapers, the X-Seed 4000 will be actively forced to protect its occupants from considerable internal air pressure and external air pressure gradation and weather fluctuations that will cause its heavy height. Its design calls for the use of solar energy to maintain internal environmental conditions. [1] As the proposed site for the structure is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, the most active volcanic range in the world, X Seed 4000 will be subject to earthquakes and tsunamis. A sea-based location and a Mount Fuji shape are some of the other key design features of this building- the real Mount Fuji is land-based and is 3,776 meters (12,388 ft) high, making it x-seed 4000 to 224 m (735 ft) less. The X-Seed 4000 is estimated to double the height of the Shimizu mega-city pyramid at 2,004 m (6,575 ft). The Shimizu Mega City Pyramid (proposed in 2007, also planned for Tokyo, Japan) faces most of the same problems as X seeds. Other projects that could be among the top five man-made structures are Ultima Tower 3,218 m (10,558 ft) in San Francisco, Dubai City Tower 2,400 m (7,900 ft) and Bionic Tower 1,228 m (4,029 ft) in Hong Kong or Shanghai.

There is a proposed supertol skyscraper in Seattle, Washington. If built, the 1,029-foot-tall (314 m), 93-storey mixed-use tower [4] will be the tallest in Seattle, crossing the neighboring Columbia Center. [5] It will also be the first supertol building in the Pacific Northwest, with an altitude of more than 1,000 feet. It is being developed by Miami-based Crescent Heights and designed by LMN Architects, divided between 1,200 apartments, 150 hotel rooms, office space and retail with a total of 1.2 million square feet (110,000 m2) in the gross leasing area. [6] History Crescent Heights purchased the half-block property, which was home to two parking garages owned by the Costos family for $48.75 million in September 2015. [7] The project was announced during the same month, which is 1,111 feet (339 meters) long with 102 stories. [8] Concerns over the proposal to affect traffic from nearby Boeing Field and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport prompted the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to review the project, similar to shared concerns with the nearby Columbia Center when it was built in the 1980s. [9] On Jan. 4, 2016, the FAA reported a presumed threat to Crescent Heights sent about 102-story building and recommended reducing the height to 965 feet (294 meters), slightly lower than the Columbia Center, for a favorable determination. [10] [11] The FAA was also concerned that tower cranes required to build the skyscraper would interfere with helicopter operations at nearby Harborview Medical Center, resulting in the temporary closure of the hospital's helipad. [12] The proposal was reduced from 101 to 100 stories in February 2016, reducing the volume of residential units to 100 rooms and removing half of the proposed hotel rooms. [13] Before a design review meeting in early March, Crescent Heights scaled back its plans, proposing a 1,029-foot (314-meter) skyscraper with only 93 stories to comply with the FAA's request. Adjusted height would make the building taller than the nearby Columbia Center and the U.S. Bank Tower in Los Angeles, but lacked the Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles and the Salesforce Tower in San Crescent Heights has also submitted an alternative 959-foot (292-meter) proposal for design review, which the Columbia Center will lack. [14] A new design named Seattle Tower by ODA was released in June 2020, featuring a 1,185 ft (361 m) high-rise with a large central cutout in the south to create the idea of Mount Rainier. [16] [17] The facilities tower will feature a four-floor above ground parking garage using a car lift instead of traditional ramps. Garages will also be built for future conversion to housing and office space, using pre-built components for level floor plates and electrical and climate control devices.

    Some Statistical Models for Prediction Jonathan Auerbach Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2020 © 2020 Jonathan Auerbach All Rights Reserved Abstract Some Statistical Models for Prediction Jonathan Auerbach This dissertation examines the use of statistical models for prediction. Examples are drawn from public policy and chosen because they represent pressing problems facing U.S. governments at the local, state, and federal level. The first five chapters provide examples where the perfunctory use of linear models, the prediction tool of choice in government, failed to produce reasonable predictions. Methodological flaws are identified, and more accurate models are proposed that draw on advances in statistics, data science, and machine learning. Chapter 1 examines skyscraper construction, where the normality assumption is violated and extreme value analysis is more appropriate. Chapters 2 and 3 examine presidential approval and voting (a leading measure of civic participation), where the non-collinearity assumption is violated and an index model is more appropriate. Chapter 4 examines changes in temperature sensitivity due to global warming, where the linearity assumption is violated and a first-hitting-time model is more appropriate. Chapter 5 examines the crime rate, where the independence assumption is violated and a block model is more appropriate. The last chapter provides an example where simple linear regression was overlooked as providing a sensible solution. Chapter 6 examines traffic fatalities, where the linear assumption provides a better predictor than the more popular non-linear probability model, logistic regression.

  • The Only Way to Build Is Upwards: the Tallest Public Housing Development Project in Singapore
    The Only Way to Build is Upwards: The Tallest Public Housing Development Project in Singapore Grace Wong K.M. Senior Lecturer Department of Real Estate School of Design and Environment National University of Singapore Email: [email protected] Abstract Singapore, whose land area is approximately 660 square kilometres, is one of the most densely- populated cities in the world. Although land reclamation efforts have gradually increased the land size of the island-city-state, this approach to resolve the problem of land scarcity has its limitations. In the 2001 review of the Concept Plan, the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore (URA) has estimated that Singapore would have a projected population of 5.5 million by 2040. This translates into 800,000 more homes or 6,400 ha of land that is needed to meet the demand for housing. Taking into account the other competing demands for land resources, the Concept Plan 2001 has suggested constructing taller buildings. With 85% of Singapore’s population residing in public housing, the Housing and Development Board (HDB), being the largest provider of housing in Singapore, has initiated the development of new 50-storeys public housing in August 2001. The 50-storeys public housing development, which consists of more than 2,000 dwellings, is the first of its kind in Singapore. This paper provides an insight into the potential residents’ perception, attitudes, concerns and acceptability of such a high-rise high- density housing development which has features that are similar to the concept of a vertical city. Findings reveal that despite being accustomed to four decades of high-rise, high-density living, only 42% of Singaporeans would choose to live in such super high-rise dwellings.

  • Innovative Technologies and Future Trends in Tall Building Design and Construction
    Innovative Technologies and Future Trends in Tall Building Design and Construction 1Ayşin Sev* and2Meltem Ezel Çırpı 1Faculty of Architecture, Building Technology Department, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Turkey *2Faculty of Architecture and Design, Department of Architecture, Kocaeli, Turkey Abstract: Tall buildings have always relied on technological innovations in engineering and scientific advancements. Technological breakthroughs in areas such as structural systems, design and construction methods, elevator systems, natural lighting and ventilation systems, as well as new materials, coupled with the latest digital revolution, have incrementally changed the overall architectural design of tall buildings throughout the world. Today the focus continues to be on new technologies and materials that exhibit enhanced properties. This paper focuses on the technological and engineering developments, and their impact on the design and construction of tall buildings by presenting a number of case studies, which have been constructed, being constructed and being proposed as well. It first provides an historical background on the early development of tall buildings, then it presents the innovative technologies applied in tall buildings, by means of architectural design, innovative structural systems, new and smart materials, improvements in elevator systems and façade technologies, via the help of latest applications. Next, it examines the future trends in tall buildings and finally it engages the reader in a discussion on the issue of height limit from economic, technological, and ego perspectives. Keywords: Tall buildings, Structure, Form, Nanotechnology, Smart materials, Façade, Natural ventilation, High-strength concrete, Self consolidating concrete. 1. Introduction Increasing density in urban areas is now widely accepted as necessary for achieving more sustainable cities to reduce environmental impacts on green areas and energy consumption, thus struggling with climate change.

La montagne artificielle : une nouvelle forme artialisée de la nature ? 1 La montagne artificielle : une nouvelle forme artialisée de la nature ? Claire Portal Introduction 1 Créer des montagnes n’est pas nouveau : d’abord représentées par les estampes chinoises puis reconstituées sous forme de reliefs archéologiques (stoupas, tertres, ziggourats, tells, pyramides), elles constituent des artéfacts anciens dont la symbolique spirituelle se traduit par la mythologie de la tour de Babel (Jakob, 2011). Pour l’historien du paysage, la montagne artificielle contemporaine s’inspire de ces montagnes anciennes mais les évolutions techniques, sociales et culturelles l’ont transformée. Aujourd’hui, la montagne artificielle est « extensible et insurmontable », « à l’échelle et sans échelle » même si elle possède un sens esthétique qui rappelle les codes de la montagne naturelle (ibid.).

  • Tall Buildings, Design, and Technology Visions for the Future
    Journal of Urban Technology, Vol. 18, No. 3, July 2011, 115–140 Tall Buildings, Design, and Technology: Visions for the Twenty-First Century City Kheir Al-Kodmany ABSTRACT The world population will drastically increase in the future, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Even in Europe, where some cities are experiencing a negative growth rate, on the whole the population will steadily increase. In Australia and Canada, as well, population will steadily increase, although in the United States the growth rate will be higher because of the influx of immigrants and natural growth. Thus, the threat of overpopulation is looming over the entire world. It is expected that the urban population will almost double in the coming 40 years: it will increase from 3.5 billion in 2010 to 6.5 billion in 2050 worldwide (United Nations, 2007). The migration of the rural population to cities is a major cause of this increase. People want to move where there are other people, din and bustle, a flurry of activities, social and recreational services, and above all employment opportunities. Once people get used to urban living, they rarely go back to the country side. Therefore, urban planners, architects, developers, social scientists, and political leaders have to ask the following hard questions: . What can be done with existing cities in order to accommodate the increase in the urban population? . How should cities be regenerated; and how can new cities be built? . Can cities expand laterally without sprawling and destroying valuable agricultural land? . Will a vertical expansion be a viable option? This paper examines these questions by studying tall buildings and associated tech- nological developments, and their impact on cities.

The Artificial Mountain: a New Form of “Artialization” of Nature? 1 The Artificial Mountain: a New Form of “Artialization” of Nature? Claire Portal I am grateful to Carol Robins, scientific English translator, for the proofreading of this paper. Introduction 1 Creating mountains is not a new phenomenon: first represented by Chinese etchings and then reconstituted in archaeological landforms (stupas, hillocks, ziggurats, tells, and pyramids), they constitute ancient artefacts whose spiritual symbolism is reflected by the mythology of the Tower of Babel (Jakob, 2011). For the landscape historian, the contemporary artificial mountain is inspired by these ancient mountains but the technical, social and cultural evolutions have transformed it. Today, the artificial mountain is “expandable and insurmountable”, “scalable and unscalable” even if it has an aesthetic sense that recalls the codes of the natural mountain (ibid.).
