T-K will have a product name for their model. Kone will follow with a version of their own. They'll need a common name for all the types that can do all that is shown in the vid (and more). Turbolifts is the obvious choice.


As for the idea that this tech will lead to towers with buldges... I don't buy it. Apart from a few buildings, a tower that is basically an extrusion upwards of the plot area will still be the dominating form.
