A thousand feet taller than the Burj Khalifa
If this project in Manhattan is successfully completed, the Big Bend Tower will be 1,000 feet taller than Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. In such a case, Burj Khalifa, currently the tallest building in the world, would be left behind. This new building will be taller than the World Trade Center (Freedom Tower in New York). The design of this building features a network of windows and elevators on both sides, which run horizontally and in a continuous loop.
Experts working on this building project say that if we could bend our structure instead of bending New York’s zoning rules, we would be able to create one of the most iconic buildings in Manhattan. Despite its unique design, Big Bend has also faced criticism. De Jean, one of New York’s most prominent architects, expressed concern about the growing number of skyscrapers in the city.
Architect Steven Holl said that these buildings represent inequality in architectural form. According to the US Sun report, many local residents are concerned about this building because they feel that this building will dominate Central Park. There are many doubts among local residents about this building.
