This is The Big Bend to be built on New York City’s 57th Street.
A revolutionary curved skyscraper is to be built on New York City’s 57th Street, according to the website www.boredpanda.com.
Plans have officially been unveiled to construct the world’s first U-shaped skyscraper on Manhattan's skyline, and it’s going to push the limits of architecture above the curve.
The Big Bend is an ambitious project being carried out by Oiio Studio, a world-renowned design team previously confronted by the city’s land usage restrictions.
“If we manage to bend our structure instead of bending the zoning rules of New York we would be able to create one of the most prestigious buildings in Manhattan,” they wrote on their official website about their plan to circumvent the laws by building long instead of tall.
If carried out successfully, The Big Bend will end up becoming the longest building in the world, surpassing even Dubai’s Burj Khalifa in total length. The building will require an elevator system that can travel in loops and curves to scale its unique shape, which sounds somewhat like a rollercoaster.
