BAKU | Azerbaijan Tower | 3,645 feet | 185 FL
 

:banana:

A developer in Azerbaijan plans to construct the world’s tallest building as part of a complex on a chain of 41 artificial islands in the Caspian Sea. Kana Guluzade, marketing director of the Avesta company, said Tuesday that along with hotels and apartment buildings, the complex would include a business center soaring to 3,645 feet, 27 percent taller than the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Construction would start in late 2013.

Is that even necessary? :shrug:

??

Oh for gods sake. I'm getting tired of this 'building supertalls strictly for the sake of bragging rights' business. What are they going to fill it with? I mean, Azerbaijan isn't The Congo, but I can't imagine there are too many multinational corporations looking for Class A office space or billionaires looking for massive apartments there.

^^ Developing countries are in a skyscraper race nowadays. It's all about who's got the biggest dick. Dubai, Jeddah, Port Sudan, now Baku. Who's next? A town in Waziristan maybe?

There is no way this building will actually be built because they simply don't have the money, need or will for this. Excuse me while I go laugh outside.

11/10 trolling.

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

This isn't a valid proposal anyway... never happening

This belongs in vision/never happening... especially considering what's 'envisioned' probably costs more than Azerbaijan's entire GDP...

That is absolutely hideous in every respect. :koko:

Another absurd attempt at dick measuring.

Looks like some kind of rocket launch, and would they actually put the name of the tower in English? Or that's just for the rendering perhaps.

Not only is this beyond the entire GDP of Azerbaijan, for this development to be fully populated (1 million) the country would experience either a migration of ~11% of the population or an absorption by this development of 100% of Azerbaijan's average annual population growth over eight years (2011 pop growth rate) or a combination of both; I know they want to put on a show for Eurovision but this is overboard.

It doesn't even look that tall.

That plus they show all that tropical foliage, which is absolutely ridiculous for a cold climate like Baku. :uhh:

I don't really like the design:shrug: It looks too massive...

Yeah, maybe a future Iranian Nuke Launcher:gaah:

Floor count increase to 250?

(Translated)
"The height of 250 floors of the building, is expected to reach 1050 meters."

Not even worth posting. This won't ever happen.

Someone in Baku needs to lay off the crack pipe.

My thoughts exactly.
