Several States in the US Allow the Same Cladding That Turned Grenfell Tower Into a Time Bomb

The UK is not happy that its government allowed a 24-story public housing building to be built under such abominable safety standards that 79 people died in a massive fire ten days ago. But will an anti-regulation US allow the same mistakes to happen here? https://gizmodo.com/how-rich-neighbors-may-have-factored-into-londons-deadl-1796103077 The Grenfell Tower in London had many hazards that…

This Crazy Basketball Shot Off a 583-Foot Tower Made Such an Unexpected Spin

Leave it to the Harlem Globetrotters to come up with new ways to nail trick shots. Though it’s not the tallest basketball shot ever made (that award goes to this 593-foot shot off a dam), the Harlem Globetrotters version might be even more unique because there’s this weird, almost reverse arc to the shot. Instead of…

Insane tower design launches people on an awesome roller coaster loop

This 328-foot (100-meter) structure wasn’tthe winner of the Çanakkale Antenna contest, a communications tower that will be built in Çanakkale, Turkey. This makes me sad because it looks like a lot more fun to me, even if those glass pods wouldn’t move through that loop at roller coaster speeds. I guess the pods would take…

This is not what the future of buildings should be

I love architecture from the future, but this new apartment tower by Porsche Design—equipped with car elevators that allow owners to park their Bentleys and Bugattis right next to their living rooms—doesn’t come from the future. It’s just a gimmicky cylinder. Located in the infernal Sunny Isles—ugh—this 132-unit tower now under construction will soon be…

Squeezed skyscraper’s base is so thin that it seems like it may fall

I love the newly city-approved Beach & Howe Tower in Vancouver, Canada, a gorgeous 54-story apartment building designed by Danish architects Bjarke Ingels Group. It gets extremely thin on its base to avoid a passing highway. From some angles, it looks like it may fall on its side. Enjoy the beautiful pictures. A diagram showing…

1,360-foot Sauron’s tower will materialize in New York City in 2016

The skinniest tallest tower in New York will be a reality in 2016, after being approved by the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission. This shard of glass and metal will stand 1,350-foot-tall by 60-foot-wide on 107 West 57th, looking over Central Park. I hope this guy gets the top floor. https://gizmodo.com/the-skinniest-skyscraper-in-nyc-is-one-step-closer-to-r-1446563249

Behold the tallest abandoned building in the world

The skyline of Yekaterinburg, Russia, is dominated by an odd landmark. Towering over the city is an unfinished construction project, the world’s tallest abandoned structure. In 1981, construction began on the TV Tower, which was to stretch 400 meters into the air, but by construction halted when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, leaving the…

Yes, Someone Found a Way to Make Water Exciting

I don’t really drink a lot of water. In the rare occasion that I do drink water, I get a lot of sideways looks from my friends (yes, I’m feeling OK). But I’m so enamored with Sebastian Bergne’s Tower set—which includes cups, a filter and a caraffe—that I might have to start drinking that stuff…

Please Let MGM Implode This Giant Vegas Hotel
