“Ohayou” Tokyo (by Yathárth)
Artist’s impression of the Stanford torus under construction. Artist’s description: “The assembly of the ‘Stanford Torus’, detailing the proposed ‘chevron shields’ above the glass ‘skylights’. The interior is shown primarily hollowed out and heavily planted. Most other depictions show the colony crammed with lavels of high density housing. Ugh. Oil on board for NASA Ames.”
Kingdom Tower
(Arabic: برج المملكة Burj al Mamlakah), previously known as Mile-High Tower (Arabic: برج الميل), is a supertall skyscraper approved for construction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at a preliminary cost of SR4.6 billion (US$1.23 billion). It will be the centerpiece and first phase of a SR75 billion (US$20 billion)proposed development known as Kingdom City that will be located along the Red Sea on the north side of Jeddah. If completed as planned, the tower will reach unprecedented heights, becoming the tallest building in the world, as well as the first structure to reach the one-kilometer mark.
