Horizontal Skyscraper

Horizontal Skyscraper

The problem with really big buildings is that as you increase square footage, you normally need to also increase your height. Unless of course you’re in the business of building 747′s. Steven Holl’s horizontal skyscraper design is meant to solve that problem. Instead of a building that rises from the ground and its surroundings it flows and reflects the surroundings off its exterior. It also happens to be as long as the Empire State Building is tall.
