U-Shaped Skyscraper

One architecture firm hopes to
create the longest building in the world by bending a skyscraper in half. The
Big Bend is a curved, 4,000 foot-long skyscraper planned on Manhattan’s
Billionaire’s Row. It’s the brainchild of Oiio Studio.

It’s no secret that there is a space
issue in Manhattan. Architects build up because there is no room to build out.
“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,” reads the building proposal on
Oiio’s website.
The designer of the project, Ioannis
Oiaonomou, was inspired to create the U-shaped structure after learning that a
company created an elevator that not only moves vertically, but also
horizontally.
The Big Bend is just an idea – for
now.
Oiaonomou has sent the plans to a
few companies and is currently seeking investments.
