Pangeos The Terayacht: Saudi Arabia $8 billion Floating City Mega Project That Look Like A Turtle Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2022-11-28 | Italian designers have drawn up plans for an outlandish Turtle-shaped floating city that would cost £6.8 billion to build.The concept of the 'terayacht', called the Pangeos, would be run on solar power and feature hotels, shopping centres and parks.The floating city would accommodate 60,000 guests and even include a runway for planes as well as helicopter pads, Italian design studio Lazzarini said.The turtle-shaped vessel would be 1,800 ft long and 2,000 ft wide and take eight years to build. If the concept is realised, it would become the world's largest floating structure ever built.Lazzarini hope their ambitious concept will be built following a NFT-related crowdfunding period. Construction would take eight years.The designers suggest a giant shipyard would have to be created especially for the project.They said: 'A Terayacht needs a Terashipyard: the conception of a similar sized vessel, involves the realisation of a specific shipyard/dam infrastructure that floods to levitate the terayacht when it will be launched.'The imagined Terashipyard infrastructure s 650 metres wide and 600 metres long, providing direct access to the sea.'With 98ft of draft, the Pangeos' gigantic hull is composed of nine different bows and subdivided into several blocks.It is powered by nine high temperature superconductor engines; each fully electric motor capable of 16,800hp and powered by various onboard energy sources.Lazzarini say: 'Pushed from a jet drive transmission, the tera-structure will be able to cruise at a speed of five knots.'While sailing, the large wings will gain energy from the breaking of the waves and Pangeos will cruise perpetually without emissions around the planet Earth seas.'Further, the rooftop area is lined with solar panels, which provide part of the necessary clean energy to power the terayacht.'Lazzarini say they are launching a crowdfunding initiative to sell virtual spaces of the watercraft.Accommodation ranges from apartment and houses to 'super villas' and royal palaces.They explain: 'The virtual spaces of the watercraft can also be purchased under an NFTcollection, and users will be able to collect certain content and access in the virtual properties with their credentials.'The same credentials will also work as a property deposit in case of a real construction.Lazzarini add: 'The terayacht proposal takes its name from Pangea, the supercontinent that existed millions of years ago during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.'If realised, the turtle-shaped vessel will become the world's largest floating structure ever built.'Pangeos The Terayacht: Saudi Arabia $8 billion Floating Mega Project That Look Like A Turtle.Saudi Arabia is expected to have very soon a mega project that will be almost as ambitious as the line ,the horizontal skyscraper under construction in the desert of Saudi Arabia. The line is one of the biggest future mega project under construction in the world.
Bugatti Residence By Binghatti - Inside Dubais New Ultra Luxury Hyper Skyscraper Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2023-05-29 | Luxury car manufacturer Bugatti has revealed the designs for its first foray into residential real estate – a 42-storey skyscraper in Dubai that will have two garage-to-penthouse car lifts.Developed in partnership with Dubai-developer Binghatti, the Bugatti Residences will be the first residential building branded with the car manufacturer's name.Bugatti is the latest luxury car brand to move into residential property, with Bentley creating a 61-storey skyscraper in Miami Beach and Aston Martin designing an angular black home in New York as part of its Automotive Galleries and Lairs service, which launched in 2019.Set to be built in the Business Bay area of Dubai, the 42-storey skyscraper will have a sinuous form wrapped in balconies on every level.It will have 171 apartments, referred to by the developer as Riviera Mansions, and 11 penthouses dubbed Sky Mansion Penthouses.According to the developer, the building's form and its interiors draw upon the heritage of the luxury car brand, which was established in 1909."Known for their unwavering and uncompromising commitment towards excellence, Bugatti and Binghatti – two visionary brands – have unveiled their first collaboration: a ground-breaking real estate development in the heart of Dubai," said Bugatti."The collaboration between the two revered brands aims to depict synergies that achieve unparalleled excellence. Drawing upon the rich and diverse creative heritage of both brands, the Bugatti and Binghatti collaboration project has at its nucleus a meticulously designed structure featuring a distinctive facade complemented by intricately designed interiors."Each of the apartments in the skyscraper will have a unique shape with access to a curved balcony, while the building will be topped with a pool.The penthouses will be served by a pair of garage-to-penthouse car lifts, which will allow the owners to drive their vehicles directly into these apartments. This mirrors Bentley's Miami skyscraper, which will have a car lift that allows residents to drive vehicles directly into apartments on all levels.The development will also contain a private spa, a members club and a "riviera-inspired beach".According to the brands, the aesthetic of the French Riviera will be incorporated throughout the design."The two brands have integrated the distinctive flair of the French Riviera into every aspect of the development. Starting from the very moment of setting foot within the residences, a sense of exuberance takes hold, transporting residents to the inspiring region that has long captured the hearts of connoisseurs of refined living," said Bugatti."In the same way that Bugatti has translated the beauty and sophistication of French luxury into the design of its hyper sports cars, Bugatti Residences brings the breeze and feel of the French Riviera into this private oasis," it continued."In its organically sculpted design, Bugatti Residences by Binghatti manifests the beauty of the Riviera's spirit and flair."Other recent projects in Dubai include a pair of Vertical Forest skyscrapers designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti and an "Instagram-ready" footbridge is set to be built beside world's tallest structure.
Saudi Arabias Neom $1 Trillion Mega Project- The City That Become The Future Of Our Civilization Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2023-05-28 | Introducing NEOMSaudi Arabia hopes to build a futuristic mega-city 33 times the size of New York City from scratch ,called NEOMSaudi officials describe it as "the world's most ambitious project."It's called Neom, a planned 16-borough city on the Red Sea coast in the northwestern Saudi province of Tabuk.Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told Bloomberg in October 2018 that Neom would be completed in 2025, and that phase one was nearly done.As of 2023, that timeline looked unlikely — Neom's official website promised that some people would live there from 2024, but said it would be 2030 before it was home to a million people, and 2045 before its target of nine million.Here are some characteristics of NEOM The Project will be divided in four parts: The line, Trojena ,Oxagon and SindalahIt will cover 10,230 square miles, and cost Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund at least $500 billion — plus millions in foreign investment if it can get it. Neom is part of Vision 2030: an ambitious plan to revolutionize Saudi society, reduce dependence on oil, and make the country a technology hub. Neom is supposed to draw on "cloud seeding" technology to make artificial clouds which will produce more rainfall than naturally possible in the desert. Neom will also have the "leading education system on the planet," with classes taught by holographic teachers, officials say. Another idea is a 'Jurassic Park'-like island for tourists with robotic dinosaurs.At night Neom is supposed to be illuminated by a giant artificial moon.People will get about using flying taxis, Saudi officials say. Neom is working on the notion that, in the future, driving cars will just be for fun, and no longer a method of transportation.So people might drive a Ferrari to the coast, but not drive themselves to work. Neom residents will — according to the plan — be able to choose from more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than in any other city.The Line Saudi Arabia has unveiled plans for a $1 trillion, 75 mile long skyscraper made of mirrored glass that will stretch across its desert and stand taller than the Empire State Building.The Mirror Line will be a part of the desert city called the Neom - that will be around the size of Massachusetts - which Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced in January 2021.He did so after saying he wanted his country to house a construction project as iconic and timeless as the Pyramids of Egypt. 'The Line is a project that is a civilizational revolution that puts humans first,' he said at the time. The Mirror Line will consist of two 1,600 feet tall buildings that run parallel to each other across 75 miles of desert, coastal, and mountain landscapes. Prince MBS has claimed he wants the Mirror Line to be ready by 2030, although engineers have said it could take 50 years to construct.The building is so long that it will sit on struts to take the curvature of the Earth into account, and will also have a high speed train line running underneath its length. SindalahFor decades, the Greek isles, the Florida Keys, the Caribbean Sea and the Mediterranean coastline have been some of the most popular destinations in the world for yacht and boat owners. With Sindalah island set to open next year, however, the Red Sea location will be catching the eye of luxury travelers and yachters.The island, designed by world-class architects at Luca Dini Design and Architecture, is set to be the first physical showcase of the planned Saudi smart city giga-project NEOM. Since Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman announced the construction of the project in December 2022, aerial images and videos have shown some of the island’s features and structures.OXAGONSaudi Arabia has revealed plans to build the Oxagon port and logistics hub, which would be the "world's largest floating structure", as part of the Neom development.Set to be one of 10 regions within the Neom development in the northeast of Saudi Arabia, Oxagon will become a port city on the Red Sea, designed to take advantage of shipping travelling through the Suez Canal.The city will act as a port and logistics hub for the wider Neom project – a renewable energy-powered region that forms part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 plan to diversify its economy and minimise reliance on oil.Oxagon will have a distinctive octagonal shape with part of the development on land and a large section protruding into the Red Sea.Trojena Trojena will be an iconic, world-class destination, blending natural and developed landscapes – and offering unique human-centric experiences for residents and visitors alike. The destination will house six distinctive development districts centered around tailored experiences that blend real with virtual architectural and engineering innovations. All to create a destination like no other on earth.
The Fehmarn Belt fixed link : Why Denmark is Building Worlds Longest Immersed Road & Rail Tunnel ? Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2023-05-23 | Why Denmark and Germany are building the Fehmarnbelt fixed link.Faster journeyWhen the Fehmarnbelt tunnel is completed, the journey between Rødbyhavn and Puttgarden will take seven minutes by train and 10 minutes by car. Road users and train passengers will save about one hour each way compared to the ferry crossing. The Fehmarnbelt link will be open 24 hours a day as a tunnel is not affected by wind or weather.Greener transportThe Fehmarnbelt link is an important component in the future European transport network and will make an important contribution to the green transition of the transport sector. Enabling traffic to use the shortest and fastest route will reduce CO2 emissions and free up capacity on roads and railways. Switching the transport of freight from lorries to environmental-friendly electric trains will also be more attractive.More capacity on motorways and railwaysThe more direct route between Scandinavia and Central Europe means that European freight trains in transit, which currently take up rail capacity on Funen and Jutland, can be replaced by more passenger trains between different parts of the country. The journey time for train passengers between Copenhagen and Hamburg will be cut from four and a half hours to two and a half. Commuting made easierDenmark is preparing the rail connections to and from the tunnel for modern electric trains that will run up to 200 km per hour. Commuters on the section can therefore look forward to significantly shorter travel times – regardless of whether they use the tunnel.Jobs and apprenticeshipsThe construction of the Fehmarnbelt link will create several thousand jobs at the construction sites and with the sub-contractors. The contractors have also committed to the establishment of at least 500 full-time apprenticeships.With its 18 kilometres, the Fehmarn Belt tunnel will be world's longest immersed tunnel for both road and rail. When finished, it will shorten the trip from Copenhagen to Hamburg by 160 km.AFRY and sub-consultants contribute to the tunnel on several levels:Design of mechanical and electrical systems for communication, HVAC, fire, drainage, power supply, data network, lighting, access control, PA, CCTV, weather surveillance, traffic detection, emergency stations, tolling and ITS.In-house consultancy services for review and provision of in-house resources related to construction management, excluding railway systems and safety.Client: Femern A/SObject: 18 km immersed road and rail tunnelLocation: Fehmarn BeltProject: Fehmarn Belt tunnelPeriod: Expected completion in 2028Our role: Design of mechanical and electrical systems for communication, HVAC, fire, drainage, power supply, data network, lighting, access control, PA, CCTV, weather surveillance, traffic detection, emergency stations, tolling and ITS.This project is comparable in size to that of the Øresund Bridge or the Great Belt Bridge. According to a report released on 30 November 2010 by Femern A/S (a subsidiary of the Danish state-owned Sund & Bælt Holding A/S), the company tasked with designing and planning the link between Denmark and Germany, the corridor for the alignment of the link has now been determined and will be sited in a corridor running east of the ferry ports of Puttgarden and Rødbyhavn.On the German side, work began on preparing the small-scale construction site on Fehmarn in the spring of 2021. A small-scale work harbour and a portal building will also be established here. This work will begin in 2022.
New Murabba: New Horizon For Riyadh -The Cube: Saudis Next Mega Project A Gateway To Another World Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2023-04-19 | Here's New Murabba ! The new project that will be Riyadh's new face and Saudi Arabia's Next future mega project for 2030 . It's will be a gateway to a new future worldSaudi Arabia has announced plans to build a colossal 1,300ft (400m) cube shopping centre in its capital.Developers are planning to build the New Murabba project at the heart of a seven mile (19km) area in the northwest of Riyadh, welcoming hundreds of thousands of residents to facilities that include 80 entertainment and culture venues, 9,000 hotel rooms and 3.2million square feet (980,000 sqm) of retail space.Its designers claim the world's largest downtown area will 'offer a unique living, working [and] entertainment experience within a 15-minute walking radius and will have its own internal transport system', with visitors stunned by the latest in immersive holographic technology. This comes as Saudi Arabia looks to diversify its economy and add sustainable projects and cities to its roster, currently dependent on oil for 80 per cent of its export income.The Mukaab landmark shopping centre at its core is planned to reinvent the region (above) with green areas and walking and cycle paths, 'promoting healthy, active lifestyles and community activities'.At 1,300ft tall, its designers claim it could fit 20 Empire State Buildings (1,250ft to roof; 1,454ft to tip) inside.Promotional videos show renderings of an immersive virtual reality, with dragons and huge holographic people moving through the development.Surrounded by a cube structure, the inner spiral can display realistic images around the building.Renderings show spacecraft flying overhead, huge mountain ranges and towering waterfalls all projected on to the sleepy desert scene.Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, who is also Prime Minister and Chairman of the NMDC (New Murabba Development Company), which is overseeing the development, announced the project on Thursday.It is estimated it would add SAR180 billion (£39.9billion) to non-oil GDP. Saudi Arabia, with one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds, is planning a number of so-called megaprojects intended to reinvent its economy.The planned smart city of Neom in northwest Saudi Arabia was announced by the Crown Prince in October 2017, also as part of the Saudi Vision 2030 to reduce oil dependence, diversify the economy and build up public service sectors.The ambitious project would be powered exclusively by wind and solar power and is estimated to cost $500billion.Critics have noted that only two buildings had been built by July 2022, ahead of the first phase completion date penned for 2025.In January 2021, plans were unveiled for a 110-mile (170km) long, 660ft (200 metre) wide, linear city - 'The Line' - running through the region.All basic services are expected to be within a five-minute walking distance for nine million residents.The project has drawn criticism for its data-collection surveillance technology and for sentencing to death people who were forcibly evicted and displaced to make way for the project.Amnesty International noted that the Saudi Vision 2030 was enabled by a large-scale demolition and eviction plan which impacted half a million people in Jeddah alone, violation of international human rights standards and discriminating against foreign nationals.Saudi Arabia is also investing in Amaala, an upcoming sustainable megaproject of 2,500 hotel rooms and 200 retail shops, aiming to attract tourists to the Red Sea coast.A number of cultural sites will also receive investment as the country looks to attract international tourists as part of its diversification move.The Saudi Vision 2030 includes attracting 27 million domestic and foreign tourists.
Lamborghini Revuelto – From Now On ║The New Lamboghini Revuelto Supercar 2024 ║ 1000 HP Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2023-04-04 | Lamborghini Revuelto – From Now On ║The New Lamboghini Revuelto Supercar 2024Experience the future of supercars with the new Lamborghini RevueltoSince 1966, when the timeless and revolutionary Miura was introduced, Lamborghini has orchestrated the release of just four other flagships with rear-separated V12 engines. These are therefore extremely rare events for the bull brand, which carefully protects the irreverence, but above all the sacred status of this line created to awaken the senses. Here is the Revuelto, the last in the running that will ensure that dreams survive.Unveiled a little less than a week ago, the new star of the constructor from Sant'Agata Bolognese thus takes on the name of another bull. According to Lamborghini, Revuelto terrorized the crowded bullfighting arenas in Barcelona in 1880. His name also means "scrambled" or "agitated" when translated directly from Spanish to French, which also reflects the mixed character and feverish of its mechanics as well as the gray zone that it exploits between the electric and the thermal.Because, you see, this Revuelto is the first Lamborghini to receive a plug-in hybrid heart. To be sure to keep purists interested, the V12 is ever present with its haunting musicality. It's been overhauled, with a series of improvements that push intervention to a very late 9500 rpm. This crescendo produces at its peak 814 hp alone.Then come the three electric motors, two at the front and one housed in the rear dual-clutch transmission (8 gears), increasing the count to 1001 hp. The small 3.8 kWh battery can power all the motors, thus ensuring all-wheel drive in electric mode. We do not advance autonomy, despite the possibility of supplying the car with electricity by means of a plug. When the orchestra activates, it catapults from a standing start from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 s with a peak of 350 km/h.The features of this Revuelto, which seem partly inspired by the Sián – Lamborghini's first hybrid model – take on a rather evolutionary character. Still looking carved by the Lockheed Martin team responsible for stealth fighters, the design of this supercar is distinguished by its front headlights and taillights that describe clearly visible Ys. The high hexagonal exhaust pipes complete the work with aplomb. It's spectacular.The wheelbase is also 79mm longer than the Aventador, increasing its overall length by just 49mm, suggesting shorter overhangs. At 4.9m, it remains an imposing car, 400mm longer than a Porsche 911. To enhance overall agility, directional rear wheels are used, as well as a more lively steering gear ratio.Moreover, despite the use of carbon fiber in most of a platform that is 10% lighter and more rigid than that of the Aventador, this Revuelto is quite heavier than its predecessor, at 1772 kg without the petrol and the necessary fluids, i.e. 222 kg more. This is the price to pay for consuming less. The disproportionate power should, however, hide these extra pounds without a hitch.
Safa One& Two De Grisogono: Dubai Futuristic Skyscrapers Made of Ruby With Worlds Most Amazing Pool Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2023-01-26 | Damac Safa One & Two De Grisogono: Dubai Luxury Futuristic Skyscrapers Made Of Ruby Safa Two is an 83-story structure.

The Dowtown Circle: Downtown Circle Mega Project That Will Totally Transform Dubai Skyline In 2040 Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2023-01-25 | The ever evolving city of Dubai could be enhancing its Downtown Dubai area as architecture firm Znera Space have created a new concept called Downtown Circle that shows a giant ring surrounding the Burj Khalifa.Standing at 550 metres tall with a circumference of 3000 metres, it consists of five pillars which will support five levels containing housing as well as public, commercial and cultural spaces.The circle itself would be formed by two rings held together by a continuous green belt called the Skypark which would contain waterfalls, tropical vegetation and various floras.Downtown Circle’s Skypark would also feature areas to harvest rainwater solar power as well as a system that stores carbon and filters out pollutants as part of the urban ecosystem.The concept was of a vertical city and was created during the pandemic by Znera Space co-founders Nils Remess and Najamus Chowdry.“We wanted to go down to the basics of how gated communities were established as a very horizontal built environment but you can’t have that here because of the dense urban fabric of Dubai. The best way to explore and practise this concept was in Downtown itself.” said Chowdry speaking to The National.The Znera Space co-founders had taken social and environmental issues into consideration in the projects design process.“When Covid-19 hit hard, we thought a lot about suitability and how can we change things, and how we can create better urban planning. We looked at aspects such as garbage disposal, food production, traffic problems, pollution. We put all these things together and came up with the concept.” said Remess speaking to The National.The inspiration for the design could also have come from the One Ring seen in the Lord of the Rings movies (minus the magical inscription). While it may not possess the power to control the people of Middle Earth, it certainly has the potential to make Dubai a self-sufficient city.“Usually cities begin with agriculture and then continue with urbanisation. Today, many big cities are faced with the problem of how they can add more agriculture. This is one of the aspects we wanted to add into this concept — a self-sufficient city.”Znera Space have also implemented a transportation system that would operate in the outer perimeter ring. A tram holding two pods would be able to transport passengers around the Downtown Circle at a speed of 100 kilometres per hour.The designers hope that this new concept will serve to inspire new ideas for gated communities and skyscraper homes.The downtown circle is a plan of the Dubai 2040 vision masterplan.it could be built in 2040.
Nuclear Powered Sky Hotel : The Futuristic Sky Cruise hotel That Never Land Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2023-01-07 | Would you stay in a futuristic, luxury flying hotel that never lands? If yes, well, this outlandish new hotel concept might actually make your dream come true. Straight out of a futurism sci-fi movie, Sky Cruise is a mash-up between an enormous cruise ship and a jumbo plane, with a capacity of hosting over 5,000 guests!Originally designed by Tony Holmsten, the ambitious idea took the internet by storm when science communicator and producer, Hashem Al-Ghaili recently reimagined the concept and posted its video rendering based on a 3D model created by artist Alexander Tujicov.Powered by 20 nuclear engines and comprising state-of-the-art infrastructure, Sky Cruise supposedly doesn’t have to ever land and can cruise above the clouds non-stop without any pilots! The passengers hence will be dropped off by conventional airliners and private jets via an external elevator.The Sky Cruise will be fitted with state-of-the-art amenities, from an observation deck with three viewing domes to enjoy 360° views, to an entertainment concourse with shopping malls, restaurants, pools, theatres, medical facilities, wedding venues, and more! Guests can live in high-end luxury while enjoying jaw-dropping panoramas of spectacular sunsets, star-lit night skies, and extraordinary experiences like the mesmerising aurora borealis from up close!Sky Cruise also has world-class medical features, ensuring the guests stay in the best of their health at all times. The no-pilot floating hotel will be autonomous, however trained staff will be onboard delivering bespoke hospitality. Working on nuclear fusion that will provide it with energy 24/7, it won’t have an enormous carbon footprint.All the repair work and maintenance will also be carried out in the air! Expect a smooth sail all along as the strong AI will detect all kinds of air turbulence in advance, and send counter-vibrations to help the Sky Cruise navigate without any motion disturbance. The same technology will also work on noise cancellation and thus minimise the effects of turbulence.While there is no launch date announced just yet, the flying hotel has already caused quite the stir on social media. Science enthusiasts are already pointing out flaws that suggest that the idea, however fanciful and creative, lacks feasibility. The shape, weight, and gigantic size of Sky Cruise go against the laws of Physics and aerodynamics. Not to forget that since the aircraft will be powered by a nuclear reactor, it’ll be a ‘flying hazard’ and would destroy cities if ever came crashing down!Nevertheless, the innovative hotel concept has given the global hospitality and travel industry something to talk about (and hope for). While there are many that believe this thing would never take off, others are already dreaming of flying in this luxurious floating hotel in future someday.

The iconic Katara Towers in Lusail will be the property housing the new Raffles and Fairmont.The Katara Towers are a distinctive architectural construct designed as a representation of Qatar’s national seal, the arched towers will house the two hotels. Fairmont will have 362 rooms and Raffles will have 132 suites.The Raffles hotel will also have other features like boutiques, movie theatres, restaurants and lounges.“A challenge is an opportunity, we have gone a very long way in all aspects to create two absolutely iconic hotels, both of them are very distinctive but both have one shared vision,” Christian Hirt, Managing Director of Raffles and Fairmont Doha, told Arabian Business.“There is a different state, pattern, behaviour that we know when people come to see a match, they come to have certain entertainment … we have for the world cup tailor made our entire offering much more towards what the guests that would be staying with us require, look for and need,” he explained.The hotels are currently fully committed to the FIFA organisation and are set to open to the public after the World Cup tournament.Hirt explained that the football scene is big and that operations had to be adjusted to tailor make it around football but at the same time there are also spaces available in the hotel to take a step back from the football frenzy.“The GCC is definitely a market where we will surely get a significant number of visitors,” said Hirt.In terms of recruitment, the hotels have over 96 nationalities and 1200 employees, the project has been worked on for over 18 months.“We have food and beverage that across the whole project is basically a culinary world tour,” added Hirt.An architectural project designed by Klint Consult for the Katara Hospitality Group, the Katara Towers are intended to be one of the symbols of Qatar. Strongly influenced by the national coat of arms, the design of the towers, with its curved lines, evokes two crossed swords. The building, which is expected to be completed in time for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, will house two luxury hotels, luxury apartments and workspaces.Katara Towers has been awarded a five-star rating by the Global Sustainability Assessment System Design and Build (GSAS), an environmental certification for infrastructure in North Africa and the Middle East. The challenge was to ensure the low environmental cost of such a project while guaranteeing the well-being of future occupants. Many solutions signed by Saint-Gobain contribute to the achievement of these ambitious objectives.Weber provided flooring and waterproofing solutions for the construction of these two towers. Nearly 3,500 tonnes of mortar from a local Weber site were delivered for this project.In addition, more than 10,000 square metres of KIMMCO-ISOVER thermal and acoustic insulation, produced in Kuwait, were selected to optimize the building’s performance.
Heres The Worlds First Flying Bike (Hoverbike) You Can Buy Now - Real Star Wars Technology Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2022-11-12 | Here's The World's First Flying Bike (Hoverbike) You Can Buy Now - Real Star Wars Technology Detroit hosted The North American International Auto Show 2022, and the all new Xturismo Hoverbike made its first appearance.Take yourself back a couple of decades or so, and you may remember storytellers and fantasy writers envisioning the future, which involved flying cars and hoverbikes. Aerwins Technologies Inc are to thank for bringing this fantasy to life with a vehicle that looks like something ripped right out of a Star Wars movie.The Xturismo hoverbike is considered to be the world’s first flying bike, and it’s absolutely jaw dropping. You might think that the all-new Xturismo is just a proof-of-concept technology, but oh no, the hoverbike is available for sale, and it’s by no means a cheap buy. The company has recently started accepting orders for its new beast, and it’s now made its way to the United States. You could be jetting to work on one of these motors sooner than you think, but be prepared to shell out quite a bit of coin.The futuristic vehicle exudes an inventive design by carrying six fan blades – two mega blades in the front and back, which help the bike lift off, and four smaller versions to aid direction. The hoverbike gains its power from four electric motors, which runs alongside a regular petrol engine, together lending the Xturismo with a 24.8-mile cruising range. The beautiful beast carries its sleek curves through the sky like some sort of futuristic insect, and if that's not something to talk about, we don't know what is.Although the manufacturer has not yet released the top speed of the vehicle, many have speculated that the hoverbike can zip around at a top speed of 62 mph, and the craziness doesn't stop there. More impressively, the bike can be airborne for up to 40 minutes on a single charge, lifting to 220lbs when flying.The world’s first hovercraft is available in black, red, and blue colors, and it will cost you a whopping $777,000. If you’re waiting on the Xturismo hoverbike to be released in the US, you’re in luck, because it’s planned to hit the States in 2023. For sure, you’re going to need a hell of a lot of spare cash to purchase this one-of-a-kind motor, but if you don’t have a spare $777,000 in your wallet, you’re also still in luck.Arewins Technologies is planning on releasing a smaller electric edition in 2025, at a much more reasonable $50,000. Yeah, when you think about it, $50,000 is quite a chunk of money for a bike, but at least its buyers won't have to fork out over three-quaters of a million dollars.
Watch The Worlds First Flying Car You Can Even Buy In 2024 - The Future Of transportation Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2022-11-07 | Introducing the X-Peng X2 . It's supposed to be the world's first flying car that you could buy soon and it promise to change the future of transportation and the world.XPeng Aeroht, an affiliate of Chinese electric-vehicle maker XPeng Inc., staged the first public flight of its X2 flying car in Dubai this week, displaying a vehicle designed for low-altitude city trips such as sightseeing and medical transportation. The two-seater electric vertical take off and landing vehicle, or eVTOL, has an enclosed cockpit and a carbon fiber structure. It has both manual and autonomous flying modes. “Xpeng X2’s public display in Dubai represents a significant milestone for Xpeng Aeroht and the international achievement of flying cars,” Gu said in a statement The X2 is XPeng Aeroht’s fifth-generation flying car. The company said it plans to announce progress on its sixth-generation model that can drive on roads as well as fly at the 1024 XPeng Tech Day,Several other startups including China’s TCab Tech and AutoFlight are exploring low-altitude city flights, or global urban air mobility, a market that could reach $1 trillion by 2040, according to Morgan Stanley. Still, there have been plenty of setbacks, including the air-taxi company backed by billionaire Google co-founder Larry Page, which said last month it will close down. More than 500 companies are reportedly working on similarly designed vehicles, and roughly two-dozen are already in testing phases. Xpeng, considered to be a rival to the U.S. brand Tesla, shared designs of the full-electric vertical take-off and landing (eVToL) flying car at its fourth annual Tech Day in Guangzhou, China, on Oct. 24. The electric car, according to the company, completed a maiden flight and several tests.But Xpeng has already decided to launch a more advanced version of its flying car: It's the sixth generation of flying car and it will be more advanced than its predecessor.Other tried to be the first ,but they all failed. Think about the AeroMobil 4.0 or the PAL v Liberty. They failed to be the first. However ,there's the Samson Sky you can pre order for $170,000.The race to be the first to be in the car industry has a lot of to offer.

Future Of The World: See How The Life & World Will Be In 2050 Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-04-27 | Future 2050 :See How The Life & World Will Be In 2050- Will The World Be Better ?In 1900, only 14% percent of the world’s population lived in urban areas. Today, for the first time in history, more than half the planet’s population resides in cities, which are fast becoming innovation hubs and are developing quickly into smart cities. The number of smart cities around the world is expected to grow exponentially over the next few years and by 2050, 70 per cent of the world’s population will be living in smart cities.Smart cities use Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors to gather and analyse information across infrastructure. This helps city authorities to intelligently manage their assets, increase efficiencies, revolutionise transport, reduce costs, and in theory, enhance overall quality of life for residents.Here what will happen in cities and with transportationPublic buildings are also set to become smarter and aware of their surroundings by 2050. They will monitor data in a bid to constantly improve themselves. They’ll use this data to run at optimum efficiency and also ensure each occupant is safe and comfortable. Through the use of technology like solar windows, buildings will gather their own energy and become entirely self-sufficient. If they have any energy left over, it’ll be offered to vehicles in the local area to ensure no one runs dry.Ports will also be taking a leap into the future. By 2060, cargo will travel through hyperloop and will be moved rapidly around the world in smart containers that know their contents and their destination. The ports themselves will will be automated, run on renewable energy and have zero carbon emissions.Planes and aircrafts will be totally different.Travel will be faster,prettier ,more ecological and pleasure will be greater.Virtual reality is also expected to change the world : See how .Virtual Reality in Entertainment:! In upcoming years you will be surprised by the fact that your flat-screen television that represents a means of entertainment for you right now, but by 2050, it will seem outdated. In 2050, you’ll likely demand that your enjoyment not is contained by the screen but via virtual reality.! With this technology, we will be able to meet up with friends and family around the world in a more reliable environment. Your children will be able to interact with their friends by inviting them into the living room to dance around. Also, long-distance relationships will become a little more manageable because of virtual visits, and even business meetings could be arranged through it.It might be possible that by 2050, robots will be conducting surgeries or piloting our airplanes. They could be doing search and rescue missions or fighting in wars. Roboticists predict that by 2050, we could see Robots vs. Humans in the contest for the World Cup. Robots and VR will all become familiar household additions, acquiring everyday jobs and providing endless entertainment. Tomorrow’s generation will spend less time cooking and cleaning, but more time socializing with their full-resolution life-sized 3D friends, who are only virtually present.Here' s how robots and artificial intelligence will reshape the world.FROM SMARTPHONES to chatbots, artificial intelligence is already ubiquitous in our digital lives. You just might not know it yet. The momentum behind AI is building, thanks in part to the massive amounts of data that computers can gather about our likes, our purchases and our movements every day. And specialists in artificial intelligence research use all that data to train machines how to learn and predict what we want—or detest.AI algorithms will enable doctors and hospitals to better analyze data and customize their health care to the genes, environment and lifestyle of each patient. From diagnosing brain tumors to deciding which cancer treatment will work best for an individual, AI will drive the personalized medicine revolution.AI assistants will help older people stay independent and live in their own homes longer. AI tools will keep nutritious food available, safely reach objects on high shelves, and monitor movement in a senior’s home. The tools could mow lawns, keep windows washed and even help with bathing and hygiene. Many other jobs that are repetitive and physical are perfect for AI-based tools. But the AI-assisted work may be even more critical in dangerous fields like mining, firefighting, clearing mines and handling radioactive materials.The place where AI may have the biggest impact in the near future is self-driving cars. Unlike humans, AI drivers never look down at the radio, put on mascara or argue with their kids in the backseat. Thanks to Google, autonomous cars are already here, but watch for them to be ubiquitous by 2030.

Officials said invaluable artifacts were saved, including the Crown of Thorns, believed to be a relic of the passion of Christ.One of the city’s oldest and most recognisable buildings, work began on Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral in 1163.The original structure was completed nearly 200 years later, in 1345, and its name literally translates to “Our Lady of Paris”.Some 13 million people now visit the Catholic landmark every year – more than 30,000 every day on average – according to its official website, and it is believed to be one of the most visited structures in the French capital.The first stone of the original structure was laid in front of Pope Alexander III after the Bishop of Paris, Maurice de Sully, proposed the cathedral after his election in 1160.It grew iconic in popular culture through several artistic works, including the Victor Hugo novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which was published in 1831 and adapted by Disney in 1996.The spire, which collapsed during the devastating fire, has undergone several changes in the building’s history.The 13th century spire was dismantled during the French Revolution and later rebuilt in the 1860s.The cathedral’s stained glass rose windows are also some of its most architecturally significant features.The first, and smallest, on the west facade, was finished in around 1225 and celebrated for the way the glass seemingly upheld the stonework around it. That window was among several parts of the cathedral included in restoration works between 1844 and 1867.A brass plate set in stone outside the building also marks “Point Zero” in Paris, the centre of the city. It is the point in France from where all distances to Paris are measured.A message engraved around the stone reads: “Point zero des routes de France”.The cathedral also houses a beehive over the sacristy, which was added in spring 2013.Pictures have emerged showing the Notre Dame treasures which have managed to survive the huge fire that ripped through the 850-year old cathedral on Monday - but countless others are still unaccounted for.Experts are today entering the wreckage of the Paris landmark to find which of the precious artworks and religious relics have been saved.The mayor of Paris said that one of the most irreplaceable items - the crown of thorns reputed to have been worn by Jesus at his crucifixion - was safe last night.Also saved were the 17th Century Descent From The Cross, a 1723 statue by Nicolas Coustou sits on the cathedral's high altar and Virgin of Paris, a 14th Century life-sized statue of the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus. The church's 13th-century stained glass windows are also safe, but there are fears for its magnificent organ, while the wooden roof and ornate spire have gone.
Oceanix City: This Floating City That Can Resist a Category 5 hurricane Is The City Of Future Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-04-13 | Oceanix City: This Concept Of Floating City Could Be The City Of The FutureArchitecture firm BIG has designed a concept for a floating city of 10,000 people that could help populations threatened by extreme weather events and rising sea levels.BIG founder Bjarke Ingels unveiled the scheme yesterday at a round-table discussion on floating cities at the United Nations's New York headquarters.Called Oceanix City, the concept consists of buoyant islands clustered together in groups of six to form villages. These clusters would then be repeated in multiples of six to form a 12-hectare village for 1,650 residents, and then again to form an archipelago home to 10,000 citizens.Oceanix – a company that develops innovate ways to build on water – commissioned BIG to develop the concept, working with MIT's Center for Ocean Engineering and Oceanix.The scheme was unveiled at the First UN High-level Roundtable on Sustainable Floating Cities, which Oceanix co-convened with MIT, the Explorers Club and UN-Habitat, a UN offshoot mandated to work with city development.Oceanix City is intended to provide a habitable, off-shore environment in the event of rising sea levels, which are expected to affect 90 per cent of the world's coastal cities by 2050.Each of the modules would be built on land and then towed to sea, where they would be anchored in place. The miniature islands are also designed to survive a category-five hurricane.Arrangements would be flexible so that the cities could be moved if water levels became too low.BIG intends the buildings atop to be constructed from locally sourced "replenishable" materials such wood and fast-growing bamboo, which also offer " warmth and softness to touch".A number of renewable energy resources, such as wind and water turbines and solar panels are also incorporated. Food production and farming would be integrated and follow a zero-waste policy."Every island has 3,000 square metres of outdoor agriculture that will also be designed so that it can be enjoyed as free space," said Ingels.Structures populating the modules will be low-level – predicted to rise four to seven stories – in order to keep the centre of gravity. Renderings show that the buildings will taper out towards the top to provide shading and also extra roof space for solar panels.Each mini-village will include a community framework for living, including water baths, markets, spiritual and cultural hubs, but BIG intends the Oceanix City to be adaptable to "any culture, any architecture".Another major benefit of the floating city, according to Oceanix co-founder Marc Collins Chen, is that it is an example of an affordable development, which could offer a solution to displaced societies."It is our goal to make sure sustainable floating cities are affordable and available to all coastal areas in need," said Chen. "They should not become a privilege of the rich."Oceanix City is intended to be developed in sub-tropical and tropical areas that are most at risk of flooding first, but could soon offer a more attractive living environment."The idea that we are presenting here is not that we will all be living at sea in the future," said Ingels. "It won't be waterworld.""This is simply another form of human habitat that can be a seed, that essentially can grow with its success as it turns out to be socially and environmentally desirable to chose this lifestyle," he continued.Chen revealed that the team will move forward with producing a prototype of the scheme, with ambitions to launch it on New York's East River.Oceanix City forms part of a surge of interest in floating cities, developed in response to rising sea levels. Examples of projects include colonies of floating houses along Amsterdam's river IJ and an amphibious house in the UK.A number of US cities are exploring other ways to bolster their vulnerable shorelines. Boston and Miami are taking steps to address flooding, while San Francisco and the Bay Area unveiled a design competition asking for ways to protect coastal areas from rising sea levels, as well as earthquakes.
New Yorks Hudson Yards: Constructing The Biggest Urban Mega Project In The U.S - $20Bn Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-03-30 | New York's Hudson Yards: Constructing The Largest Urban Mega Project In The U.S For $20BnHudson Yards is a real estate development in the Chelsea and Hudson Yards neighborhoods of Manhattan, New York City. It is the largest private real estate development in the United States by square footage. Upon completion, 13 of the 16 planned structures on the West Side of Midtown South would sit on a platform built over the West Side Yard, a storage yard for Long Island Rail Road trains. The first of its two phases, opened in 2019, comprises a public green space and eight structures that contain residences, a hotel, office buildings, a mall, and a cultural facility. The second phase, on which construction has not started yet, will include residential space, an office building, and a school.The site of Hudson Yards was initially intended for other developments, most notably in the early 2000s as the site of the West Side Stadium, during the New York City bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics. The plans for Hudson Yards were developed after the failure of the West Side Stadium. Construction began in 2012 with the groundbreaking for 10 Hudson Yards, and the first phase opened on March 15, 2019. Both phases are projected to be complete by 2024. Agreements between various entities including the local government, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), and the state of New York made the development possible.10 Hudson YardsNumber 10 was the first of the six skyscrapers to complete on the site in 2016, providing office space for companies including Coach, L'Oréal, Boston Consulting Group, and SAP in a building designed by Hudson Yards masterplanner Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF).Located at the southeastern corner of the site, the tower greets the High Line as the park bends around towards the river. A series of shifts in the building's floor plates were created during the design phase to accommodate specific requirements from different tenants.The Shops and Restaurants at Hudson YardsSat between and connecting KPF's two towers is the site's vast retail provision, housed within a comparatively low volume that includes seven floors of shops and restaurants, connected by concourses and atriums designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects.A flagship three-storey Neiman Marcus department store anchors the offering of luxury brands, high-street chains, and variety of 25 food and beverage options. The Snark Park exhibition space by Snarkitecture is also intended to draw in visitors.The building presents a simple flat facade to 10th Avenue, but offers much more glass towards the public plaza at the heart of Hudson Yards. Its faceted roof was given extra attention as it can be seen clearly from the surrounding towers.15 Hudson YardsDiller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) and Rockwell Group's 910-foot-tall (277-metre) 15 Hudson Yards was the development's first residential tower to complete, in January 2019.Starting with a rectangular plan, the 88-storey building gently tapers into four curved portions towards its peak. The curtain-wall glazing appears frameless, reflecting the sky and surrounding towers.Amenity spaces that accompany the 200-plus apartments are located on the 50th and 51st floors, and include an indoor swimming pool, a gym, spa, movie theatre, private dining room, lounge and other communal areas.The ShedThis expandable arts venue will bring flexible gallery, performance and events spaces to the neighbourhood when it opens 5 April 2019.The project was conceived and designed by lead architect DS+R in collaboration with Rockwell Group, which used the base of their skyscraper as a nesting point for the cultural complex's service areas.The Shed's architectural ingenuity revolves around its ETFE-covered moving roof, which can be deployed or retracted on its giant rollers in just five minutes, enabling the plaza in front to be become a covered concert arena or giant exhibition space.35 Hudson YardsSOM and architect David Childs' contribution to Hudson Yards is this 92-storey skyscraper that will accommodate 143 condos, and the first hotel from fitness brand Equinox – including 200 rooms, and a club and spa.The tallest residential tower on the site is clad with vertical limestone fins, which accentuate the various setbacks in its form, and curve near the base to mark the entrances. Construction work is almost complete, and residents are due to begin occupancy later in 2019.VesselProclaimed the centrepiece of Hudson Yards, Heatherwick Studio's Escher-like sculpture comprises 154 staircases linked by 80 landings – forming a honeycomb lattice wrapped in copper-coloured cladding.Enjoy the video !
Qatar National Museum: A Look Indise Dohas Latest Mega Project That Opened To Public: Jean Nouvel Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-03-29 | National Museum of Qatar: This $434 million Museum In Doha Is Designed By Jean NovelIt took almost a decade to build, was finished three years late and cost £330million ($434 million) - but Qatar's vast national museum is finally open.It resembles a cluster of flying saucers, though its design was actually inspired by a desert rose. 'Architecture to give a voice to heritage whilst celebrating (the) future,' tweeted the museum's renowned French architect Jean Nouvel, also responsible for the Louvre Abu Dhabi.The pale, futuristic 52,000-square-metre (560,000 square feet) structure located on Doha's waterfront corniche will be the first notable building visitors to Qatar see as they make their way from the airport to the city centre.Even in a country which is being built, rebuilt and utterly transformed for the 2022 football World Cup, the national museum could be the single most eye-catching design of all Qatar's new buildings.The entrance includes 114 fountain sculptures in a 900-metre-long (2,950ft) lagoon and the museum's multi-curved roof is made up of 76,000 panels in 3,600 different shapes and sizes.Inside, there is more than 1,500 metres (4,920ft) of gallery space.Among the exhibits is a 19th-century carpet embroidered with 1.5million Gulf pearls and the oldest Koran yet discovered in Qatar, also dating back to the 1800s.'This is a museum that narrates the story of the people of Qatar,' Sheikha Amna bint Abdulaziz bin Jassim al-Thani, the museum's director, has stated.The National Museum of Qatar also stands on the site of the former palace of Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim al-Thani -- son of the founder of modern Qatar. The palace has been restored as part of the massive project.The museum, which officials say celebrates Qatar's Bedouin past and energy-rich present, also reflects the country's massive wealth and ambition.And as well as an architectural and cultural statement, the new museum is also a political one by the Qataris.It is among a growing list of spectacular buildings in Qatar, including the recently opened national library and Museum of Islamic Art further along the corniche.The national museum is also the latest in the cultural 'arms race' and soft power course among Gulf nations, which includes Nouvel's Louvre in Abu Dhabi, opened to huge fanfare in 2017, designed to show-off the progressive aspects of the various competing emirate states.And for Qatar, the museum's delayed opening - originally scheduled for 2016 - has given it a chance to reinforce its national identity from other Gulf states, say experts.Since June 2017, Qatar has been diplomatically and economically blockaded by neighbouring former allies, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, accused among other things of supporting terrorism.Qatar rejects all charges and says the blockade is an attack on its sovereignty.The bitter dispute has fractured long-standing Gulf alliances and the new museum will allow Qatar to reinforce its separateness from its rivals, says Sigurd Neubauer, a Middle East analyst based in Washington.'On the basic level the museum represents Qatari identity, which has really accelerated in the post-blockade environment,' he said.At the same time as the reputation of Doha's rivals appear 'inward-looking and regressive', because of incidents like the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Qatar's standing is the 'opposite', adds Neubauer.'It's really not about the building, Qatar is trying to create an environment and national identity that provides a space towards independent thinking.'It is doubling down on its own progressive reforms.'

New Yorks Steinway Tower: The Worlds Skinniest Building Is Coming In US Billionaires Row Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-03-07 | New York's Steinway Tower : The World's Skinniest Building Is Coming In US' Billionaire's Row111 West 57th Street, also known as the Steinway Tower,is a supertall residential project by developers JDS Development Group and Property Markets Group in West Midtown in Manhattan, New York City. Located at 111 West 57th Street near Sixth Avenue, the development will be a combination of the original landmarked Steinway Building designed in 1925 by Warren & Wetmore, and a new tower addition on the adjacent site.Parkside Construction Builders is the general contractor. Parkside is currently under indictment for fraud, withholding wages and using undocumented immigrant labor on this site.When completed, the tower will be one of the tallest buildings in the United States, as well as the thinnest skyscraper in the world with a width-to-height ratio of about 1:23The building is registered at the address 107 West 57th Street and was approved in January 2015. Excavation began in 2014, as did internal demolition within Steinway Hall. The tallest freestanding crane in New York City history, which measures 220 feet (67 m), is being used to construct the building. The building will include an 800-ton tuned mass damper to provide stability in the event of high winds or a seismic event.The skyscraper was designed by SHoP Architects and is being developed by Michael Stern's JDS Development Group and Kevin P. Maloney's Property Markets Group.[20] The north side of the tower rises directly up to the pinnacle of the building. On the south side of the tower, a series of setbacks appear as the tower rises. As the height of the building increases, the setbacks eventually thin out, with the tower "disappearing into the sky." The building's interiors were designed by Studio Sofield.The building will have a porte-cochère for residents, and a recital hall will be constructed as an architectural reference to the fact that the building is being constructed on top of Steinway Hall.Writing for Vanity Fair, Paul Goldberger referred to the plans for the tower as "quite possibly the most elegant" of the new structures planned for 57th Street and around Central Park, which include One57, 432 Park Avenue, and the as yet unfinished 220 Central Park South and 225 West 57th Street (Central Park Tower).Here are the pricesStern’s JDS Development Group and Maloney’s Property Markets Group are projecting a sellout of $1.45 billion for 65 apartments, according to the offering plan. The priciest condo is asking $58 million, or $8,179 per foot.Those numbers fall short of the potential price tags described in early AG filings. The developers originally envisioned two- and three-bedroom units asking between $40 million and $100 million, according to filings last year. Five-bedroom units (which are situated on lower floors) were tentatively priced between $40 million and $75 million.The approved offering plan has three-bedroom condos starting at $15.5 million and topping out at $53 million. The four-bedroom units, four in total, are priced between $53 million and $57 million.A person with knowledge of the building said several pricier units are not currently being offered and aren’t listed on the plan. Vornado Realty Trust used a similar tactic at 220 Central Park South, where hedge funder Ken Griffin is reportedly buying a $200 million mega unit.
Montreals Future Transportation Project: A $6BN REM Automated Train & Hyperloop Line: Future Canada Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-03-06 | Montreal Is Building Incredible Future Transport System: From The $6BN REM To A Hyperloop For 2030Réseau Électrique Métropolitain (REM) is a fully automated light rail transit (LRT) project proposed by CDPQ Infra, a subsidiary of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, to serve the major metropolitan areas in Montréal, Canada.The new facility will link downtown Montréal, South Shore, West Island (Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue), North Shore (Deux-Montagnes), and the Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.The project is expected to create approximately 7,500 jobs during construction phase and 1,000 permanent jobs when operational. It will also help reduce approximately 16,800t of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions a year.The REM LRT project was announced in April 2016, construction woks are expected to start in the first half of 2017 and commercial operations are expected to begin in late-2020.With an overall length of 67km, integrating ground, underground and overhead double tracks, the LRT is touted to become the world’s third biggest automated rail network.The overall investment in the Canadian LRT project is estimated to reach $5.5bn, of which the developer will provide $3bn and the remaining will be met through contributions from the governments of Québec and Canada.Future Hyperloop line :A futuristic tube system that would sling passengers from Toronto to Montreal via Ottawa in 39 minutes has been chosen as the strongest Canadian contender to put what is for now a technological theory into practice.A "hyperloop" uses electric propulsion to move magnetically levitated pods through low-pressure tubes, eliminating air resistance and friction, and enabling the pods to travel at a velocity approaching the speed of sound.Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, introduced the hyperloop idea in 2013 and encouraged people and companies to expand on it.A company called Hyperloop One, which is unaffiliated with Musk, is working to commercialize Musk's concept. It introduced a global challenge in May 2016, calling for proposals for real world hyperloop networks. About 2,600 teams registered to take up the challenge, the company said.
$19 Million Bugatti La Voiture Noire: This Bugatti Is the Worlds Most Expensive New Car Built Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-03-06 | $19 Million Bugatti La Voiture Noire: This Bugatti Is the World's Most Expensive Car BuiltIt is not news that Bugatti makes very expensive automobiles. A Bugatti Chiron, the brand's basic model, costs about $3 million. Bugatti's latest creation, though, sets a new bar in price and exclusivity. Bugatti's La Voiture Noire cost €16.7 million, or almost $19 million, including taxes. Before taxes, the car cost $12.5 million.According to Bugatti, La Voiture Noire is the most expensive new car ever sold and only one will be made. Bugatti did not reveal the identity of the buyer. It is someone with an enormous attachment to the Bugatti brand, the automaker said. It's also clearly someone with immense financial resources.Bugatti's new La Voiture Noire is designed to recall the Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic of the 1930s. Only four of those cars were made and, today, they're among the most valuable cars in the world. They can be worth more than $50 million, according to Hagerty Insurance, a company that tracks collector car values. One of those cars became known as "La Voiture Noire" which means simply, the black car. Only three are known to survive. The fourth seems to have disappeared shortly before the German invasion of France during World War II. Its whereabouts remain unknown.The Type 57 SC Atlantic was designed by Jean Bugatti, son of Bugatti founder Ettore Bugatti, at a time when the bodies for most high-end cars were created by separate body makers rather than by the automobile companies themselves. Jean Bugatti designed some of the most beautiful cars ever seen for his father's firm.

How Londons Skyline Will Be Reshaped By New Skyscrapers In 2025 - UKs Biggest Construction Boom Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-02-16 | London is in the midst of an unprecedented architectural boom, with around 510 tall towers — those with more than 20 stories — planned or under construction in the next decade.Much of this development will take place in the next two years.As new buildings spring up along the waterfront, residents are bracing for the sudden transformation of their neighborhoods.Forthcoming structures include a 26-story high-rise with a rock-climbing window and a mixed-used development with the world's first "floating" swimming pool.Here are nine of the most stunning skyscrapers that will transform the London skyline from 2020 to 2025.Last year’s tower tally of 510 is a rise of more than 12 per cent on the 455 recorded in 2016, according to New London Architecture’s annual count of buildings of at least 20 storeys (their definition of a skyscraper).Although more than two thirds of the towers in the pipeline are in inner London.More than 90 per cent of the tall buildings are residential and could deliver 106,000 new homes, according to the survey. About half of all the towers are in east London with 85 in Tower Hamlets and 70 in Greenwich.Here are the new skyscrapers1-1 Undershaft2-22 Bishopsgate 3- Hertsmere Tower4-The Diamond5-The Tulip6-Newfoundland
The Butterfly In Downtown Vancouver - Discover The Canadian Condo Skyscaper Inspired By A Butterfly Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-02-15 | The Butterfly In Downtown Vancouver - Meet The Canadian Condo Skyscaper Inspired By A ButterflyConstruction on The Butterfly, the 331-unit luxury condo tower developed by Westbank, started in December 2018 with an anticipated completion date of the summer of 2022.Units started at $990,000 and they are almost sold out.This proposed new development in the heart of downtown Vancouver involves the heritage restoration and expansion of one of the City’s most historic churches, together with the integration of a 556′ luxury residential tower. The podium levels and galleria are closely integrated with the heritage church, providing expanded community program spaces, daycare, offices and affordable rental housing. The entire complex is envisioned to extend and integrate into the rich landscape of Vancouver’s vibrant West End neighborhood.The market tower reconsiders the high-rise typology by introducing shared outdoor garden spaces on each level that allow social spaces for neighborly interaction and intimate groupings of residents. These outdoor breezeways also contribute to significant energy reductions by encouraging natural ventilation and reducing the tower’s reliance on conditioned circulation spaces and artificial lighting. The unique form of the tower will provide Vancouver with an bold new iconic landmark that highlights the highpoint of the downtown peninsula and the historic gateway into the West End.
Vancouvers Oakridge, The Living City - Meet The Canadian Mega Project With A Surreal Architecture Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-02-11 | Vancouver's The Living City Oakridge - This Canadian Mega Project Will Have A Surreal ArchitectureQuadReal and Westbank are developing partners. Henriquez Partners Architects is the design lead and Wonderwall out of Tokyo is designing the interior of the mall. Numerous other firms are also involved.The applicants have described the mixed-use development on the sprawling 28-acre site as a "mini-city." It features one and two levels of retail and office space, 10 towers of varying heights up to 44 storeys, three mid-rise buildings with commercial, office and residential uses, the latter of which includes social housing, market rental and market units.A civic centre featuring a community centre, library, senior’s centre, performance spaces and daycare is part of the project, as is a nine-acre public park located partially on the rooftop of the mall and partially at ground level.The park board held an open house about the refined concept for the nine-acre park May 10 and another one is scheduled May 12.See the Courier’s story about the open house here.Rezoning for the site was granted in 2014. Under that zoning, the application is conditional, so it may be permitted, but it requires a decision of the Development Permit Board.The project is scheduled to go before the DPB July 23. Individuals can register to speak at that meeting.Written comments about the development application are accepted until June 15.Build-out will be phased and is expected to take six and a half years to complete.Oakridge Centre is among Canada’s top three most profitable malls.QuadReal and Westbank are partners on the redevelopment project, which, once completed, will feature 10 towers of varying heights up to 44 storeys, as well as midrise buildings.Plans include 2,000 market condo units, 290 market rental units, 290 City of Vancouver-owned below-market rental units, the redevelopment of the shopping centre, commercial and office space, a community centre, a library, a seniors’ centre, performance spaces, a daycare and a nine-acre park.Pricing for market residential units in buildings three and four, which face 41st Avenue, range from upwards of $800,000 to $5.7 million.
Chicago (U.S) $8.5 Bn O’hare International Airport Mega Project : Santiago Calatravas Vision Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-02-11 | Chicago (U.S) $8.5 Bn O’hare international airport Mega Project : Santiago Calatrava's Vision Five proposed designs to modernize o’hare international airport with a new terminal building were unveiled by the chicago department of aviation. santiago calatrava is one of five international teams on the shortlist to complete the project, which is scheduled to open in 2028 and to be financed by airline ticket fees.importantly, calatrava’s concept for the site goes beyond the terminal building. a functionally independent campus, which could be realized at a later date, has also been presented as a complementary element to the competition entry. the proposal has been conceived as a holistic ‘airport city’ where airline terminals, hotels, conference centers, and retail outlets converge around a transport interchange with direct links to the city center.an early design strategy was to combine the terminal building with the gate’s concourse to create one centralized entity. this configuration not only establishes a clear focal point for the airport, but also allows for ease of transfer for both united and american airlines — located in terminal 1 and 3, respectively. the station’s centralized location also renders the need to extend a potential automated people mover (APM) to terminal 3 unnecessary.this approach stems from prioritizing the passenger experience. as a result of the configuration, walking distances to gates, between terminals, and to the APM station are significantly reduced. retail and food and beverage outlets are set within the interior gardens at the center of a grand, light-flooded space, adjacent to all passenger gates. the compact building form, which reduces the building’s footprint by 10% and reduces its envelope by 20%, also frees additional space for the movement of wide-body aircraft.the design also references the city of chicago in a number of different ways. the roof of the terminal building echoes the shell motif found on the city’s seal, while a verdant orchard — evoking the early history of the o’hare site — provide travelers with the experience of waiting for their flights in a garden. meanwhile, centered in the heart of the terminal, the APM station is configured as a chicago ‘Y’ — a symbol that represents the chicago river and its two branches.the o’hare global terminal will house all airport operations for departing and arriving passengers, including check-in and ticketing, screening, federal inspection services (FIS) and transfers services for international arrivals, airline lounges, retail, and dining. all baggage operations — drop-off, scanning, storage, pick-up, and transfers — are located within the terminal. a flexible baggage hall allows real-time configuration changes to respond to domestic and international arrivals and the corresponding FIS needs.calatrava is on a shortlist with five other international teams taking part in the competition (see the full list of proposed designs here). the public is invited to help shape the future of o’hare by voting for their favorite scheme here — you can also track the results, and cast a vote in curbed’s unofficial poll here, where calatrava is currently holding the lead.
Dubais Burj Jumeirah : UAE New 550-Metre-Tall Skyscraper To Open In 2023 Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-02-05 | Dubai's Burj Jumeira : UAE New 550-Metre-Tall Skyscraper - To Open in 2023.Dubai Holding LLC, the investment firm owned by the emirate’s ruler, will develop an area close to its iconic Burj al Arab hotel.Downtown Jumeira will include a 550 meter (1,640 foot) high tower called Burj Jumeira, the company said in a statement, confirming an earlier story by Bloomberg News. The construction will start immediately and the first phase of the development will be delivered in 2023.The development in the Al Sufouh district of Dubai will include homes, office space, as well as hotels. Burj Jumeira will have multiple observation decks giving visitors a panoramic views of Dubai. There have been previous attempts to develop the site.The skyscraping centrepiece would anchor a wider community comprised of residences and commercial zones. The new 'Downtown Jumeirah' would be situated near the iconic Burj Al Arab hotel.The tower naturally affords space for a public observation platform perched 450 metres from the streets below. The base of the needle-like building might be its most unique feature—cultural spaces and water fountains are arranged around the thumbprint of Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid. Like its older sibling the Burj Khalifa, Burj Jumeirah will be covered in a digital display capable of putting on spectacular night lighting displays."The launch of Burj Jumeirah in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who has left his fingerprint on the project, is a confirmation of the critical role this development plays in Dubai's vision for the future," said Abdulla Al Habbai, Chairman of Dubai Holding. "The entire Downtown Jumeirah area, and Burj Jumeirah specifically, are distinctive projects that focus on providing an unparalleled experience to both visitors and residents. It will not only serve the needs of residents who are looking to live in cohesive and connected communities, but will also enhance Dubai’s tourism offering by adding another icon to the Emirate’s portfolio of unique attractions."
Vancouvers 1550 Alberni : Meet The Canadian Luxury Condo Tower Shaped By The Environment Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-02-01 | The design of 1550 Alberni Street is shaped by its environment. The 43-storey tower is carved by two emphatic scoops that form deep balconies furnished in wood. In both instances, the carvings create semi-enclosures that strengthen their relations to the street and to the views – to its urban and geographic context while optimizing neighbouring views past the project.Because of the way the otherwise orthogonal tower is carved, its silhouette constantly changes, creating illusionary profiles of arching cantilevers. The reality is far more structured as the carved deductions are diagonally symmetrical, the lower portion helping to counterbalance the hanging volume above.The tower meets the ground with two intersecting domes that embrace Alberni and Cardero. Under the arching structures, an extensive moss garden defines the entrance and flows to the swimming pool above. In keeping with Japanese spatial traditions, the emphasis is on the atmosphere rather than the object: without drawing attention to a particular point laden with meaning, the void elicits a serene visceral experience that could be shared by all.1550 Alberni will include intricate design details such as woodwork in the plinth, interior design of residential tower, and a Japanese Restaurant experience designed by Kengo Kuma Architects and Associates.
How Qatar Is Transformed For The 2022 World Cup & $45 Billion Metropolis To Be built From Scratch Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-01-31 | How Qatar Is Transformed For The 2022 World Cup & $45 Billion Metropolis To Be built From Scratch In its bid to become the tourist destination of the future, and specifically of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the oil-rich nation of Qatar has gone all out on its development plans to impress visitors .No expenses have been spared in ensuring that Doha become the must-visit city of the future.Although the recent growth of the tourism industry in Qatar has been robust, it will be difficult for the country to achieve the level of visitor growth which will garner enough demand to support a 400 per cent expansion in the number of hotel rooms in eight years.Amphibious 100 ResortFor those looking for a truly memorable hotel stay during the upcoming World Cup, look no further than this amphibious development, complete with underwater rooms and an interactive marine life museum in the lobby.And with a price tag of about £310million to build, you better believe that such a stay won't come cheap. The project, which will be built in the middle of a sea reserve, will be comprised of four giant hotels, which resemble superyachts.Designed to look like a giant octopus, the resort has 'arm' walkways leading out to pod-like suites.Each of the jellyfish-inspired pods are designed to stretch out over four floors and include an underwater observatory area and a lounge. Hamad Internatonal airport First impressions matter, and when guests step off the plane and into Doha's Hamad International Airport, they will experience a nice and luxurious arrival and departure experience.But the world's most over-the-top airport, Doha's Hamad International has taken extravagance to the next level.There are gold-plated coffee kiosks, a life-size replica Formula One car and a sleek hotel offering VIP travellers use of its Presidential Suite for three-hour layovers.A mini art gallery has been designed to entertain culture vultures, while the business class lounge measures a huge 33,000 square feet.There are also a bevy of high-end stores available for discerning shoppers - everything from Armani to Chanel to Hermes - and over 80 different restaurant options.Not only are there shower rooms, 'quiet rooms,' meeting rooms, and several restaurants, there's even a children's play room with a full-size replica of a Formula One racing car.Head beyond security and you'll find a luxury hotel, complete with suites for relaxation for travellers who don't feel the need to ever leave the comfort of the terminal.The gigantic 1,400-square foot Presidential Suite is of particular note, and to suit quick layovers, can be rented out for as little as three hours.There's also a restaurant and fitness centre, complete with a spa-inspired indoor pool that overlooks the departing and arriving planes. The Silver Pearl Hotel A deluxe hotel resembling two half moons on the horizon will be built a mile off the coast of Doha in Qatar at a cost of just over £1billion.The Silver Pearl Hotel, designed by New York-based firm M. Castedo Architects, is set to have more than 1000 rooms and an adjoining expo centre, has been scheduled for completion ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.But most stunning will be its stainless steal and glass exterior, which will reflect in the ocean to sparkle like a pearl at night. Stadiums And when it comes to the matches themselves, it's no surprise that those involved will also experience a luxury sporting experience.Of the twelve stadiums, located in and around the seven host areas, nine will be newly built, while three will undergo intensive renovations. After the Cup, Qatar plans to dismantle parts of the stadiums and send them to developing countries to be rebuilt into 22 new stadiums. Lusail CityThe city of Lusail is scheduled to host the World Cup opening ceremony and the final match of the tournament, provided that it's stadium is completed on time, of course.The 86,000-seat stadium, is currently in development, along with the rest of the city, which is projected to cost about USD$45billion (£28.8billion) to build.Built from scratch on the desert coast, about nine miles from Doha's centre, the 28-square mile city will soon be home to a quarter of a million residents. Not only that, but the development will also be capable of hosting thousands more at its many luxury hotels.Formed by four islands, Lusail will include two marinas, a massive canyon-inspired Marina Mall, scheduled to open in 2017, and a 241-acre Entertainment City.The Entertainment City area will include attractions such as a giraffe zoo, snow park and Six Flags amusement park.
The Three Gorges Dam : The Worlds Largest Hydropower Mega Project Built In China - The $37 Bn Dam Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-01-25 | The Three Gorges Dam : The World's Largest Hydropower Mega Project Built In China - The $37 Bn Dam The giant Three Gorges Dam in China has launched its generators in 2012, just as it hits its annual flood peak.The final 32 generators went into operation this week, making it the world's largest hydropower project, built on the Yangtze River in the Hubei Province.It is designed to decrease the risk of flooding during the current peak rainfall season, as well as store and distribute water during the dry periods.A series of incredible photos show the sheer force of the flood water released from seven spillways after heavy downpours in the upper reaches of the dam caused the highest flood peak of the year.The dam is working to take the edge off the fierce flood and reduce its impact on the river's lower reaches by storing at least 26,000 cubic meters of flood water every second, the Yangtze River flood control and drought relief, according to the Global Times.Water outflow from the dam currently measures 43,000 cubic meters per second.So far the forces of flood has been been the highest in recent memory, worse that the devastating 1998 Yangtze flood which cause a large amount of damage with a flow rate of 50,000 cubic meters per second.The ongoing flood is therefore the biggest challenge the dam has faced since it started storing water, the headquarters said.Weekend floods in Beijing caused 'significant losses' and casualty numbers are still being tallied, the head of the worst-hit district has said.The heavy rains have left nearly 100 people dead, state media has said, although those figures have been questioned by international observers, who believe the death toll could be higher.'The full operation of the generators makes the Three Gorges Dam the world's largest hydropower project and largest base of clean energy,' said Zhang Cheng, general manager of China Yangtze Power, the operator of the generators.The dam, which first went into operation in 2003 at a cost of $22.5 billion, has a combined generating capacity of 22.5 million kilowatts (22,500 megawatts), the equivalent of fifteen nuclear reactors.The construction of the dam forced the relocation of 1.4 million people, Beijing has long held up the dam as a symbol of its engineering prowess, a solution to the frequent floods of China's longest river and a source of badly-needed electricity.The project began in 1993 despite warnings the weight of the reservoir would dangerously alter central China's geology, uproot millions of people, poison water supplies by trapping pollution and disrupt the Yangtze watershed.The dam has created a reservoir stretching up to 600 kilometres (370 miles) through the scenic Three Gorges region, which is criss-crossed by geological faultlinesWe know that there are situations that can influence the way the Earth revolves around its own axis. This large amount of water, more properly 39.3 cubic kilometers of water, can influence the rotation of planet Earth. This dam, at its maximum load, with 22500 MW of power, has this capacity.The way it influences the rotation of the Earth is as follows:The greater the distance from the mass of a body to its axis of rotation, the slower it will rotate. That is, the same happens when an athlete of figure skating wants to run very fast: to achieve this, it begins to rotate with the arms open and then puts the arms next to the body, approaching the mass of these of the axis of rotation and giving him So more speed. So, it is with planet Earth.It was the NASA Space Agency that confirmed that really, whenever the dam reaches its maximum capacity level, it is possible that it is affecting the movement of the Earth due to the moment of inertia.And according to his studies, when the dam at its maximum capacity, the planet is affected in its form, making it more rounded in the middle and flattened at the poles. As for the rotation of the Earth, it increases the duration of the day by 0.06 microseconds. Given this conclusion from NASA scientists, it seems, there is no cause for concern, at least for now.
Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center Mega Project :China Building The Tallest Skyscraper For 2024 Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-01-20 | Shenzhen Hong Kong International Center: Shenzhen Is Building The Tallest Building In China For 2024Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill has unveiled its design for the Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center, a 700-metre tall glass tower in Shenzhen, China.The megatall skyscraper is set to become the tallest building in China, and the world's second tallest building behind SOM's 828-metre Burj Khalifa in Dubai.Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center is being designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill for Chinese property developers Shiamo Group, which first revealed the design in May 2018 – but didn't disclose details of the architect at the time.It will be built between the foothills of Longcheng Park and the Dayun National Park, and form part of the Chicago-based architect's wider masterplan for the Longgang district in the east of the city.The visuals released by the practice show the skyscraper's twisted, "anthropomorphic" form, designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill in reference to its proximity to several major sporting venues in the district."The Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center is anthropomorphic in its character, honoring in an abstract way the athletes that train to perform in the world-class stadiums directly adjacent to our masterplan for this project," explained design partner Adrian Smith."The result is a muscular expression in high-performance glass, with textured layers that define the elements of its shaped form."Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center will be topped with one of the world's highest observation decks, alongside a restaurant, night club, spa facilities and a swimming pool.In the evenings, the tower will become "a visual, sound, and light show", reinforcing the district's athletic and entertainment purposes.Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill's wider masterplan imagines a mixed-use district for Shenzhen, which connects with the tower and comprises a large retail facility, apartment towers, a cultural centre, a five-star hotel, a library and offices.It will be wrapped by landscaped promenades, which are designed to withstand Shenzhen's heavy rainfall and flooding in the summer months. They will be made from "engineered soils, retention ponds, native plants, and foliage as a network of systems that will recycle the rain water for irrigation and other uses".Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill's environmental goal for the Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center, and the surrounding landscape, is to obtain LEED Platinum certification – one of the most popular green building certification programs used worldwide.Shenzhen-Hong International Center will be constructed using high-performance glass to reduce heat gain, the entire development will be orientated to optimise solar gain and natural ventilation.The architects have also incorporated a large public transportation centre and bus terminal into the masterplan.Shenzhen-Hong International Center joins the boom of big building projects currently being designed and constructed in Shenzhen, which accounted for 10 percent of the 2018's record number of supertall skyscrapers completed worldwide.Visuals by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture.
The Jetsons: This 3D Printed & 4.8 KM Tall Skyscraper Can Be The Worlds Tallest Ever In The Future Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2019-01-07 | The Jetsons : This self cleaning and 3D Printed 4.8 KM Tall Skyscraper Will Be The World's Tallest Ever by 2062.Arconic is an American scientific engineering company that recently presented its vision of the city of the future. It has developed a new 4.8 km high skyscraper concept that incorporates 3D printing in manufacturing and self-cleaning materials. The project is called Les Jetsons, recalling the animated series of the 60s featuring the family of the future. The American company is largely inspired to create skyscrapers and flying cars.Arconic skyscrapers have three basic characteristics: the organic facades have been printed in 3D in several materials, their coating allows their self-washing and the windows can turn into a balcony in less than a minute.Sherri McCleary, Director Materials and Processing Technologies at Arconic, says the main benefit of using 3D printing is that it can create very strong and complex structures that can withstand different climates and extreme winds. The company says, however, that much remains to be done in terms of printing materials: they are not enough today to build a skyscraper of this size. "We are looking to optimize the materials that can be printed in 3D to offer more and more opportunities to architects and designers. Says McCleary.In addition to the role of 3D printing in this project, McCleary also emphasizes the importance of self-cleaning building coatings that would purify indoor air inside the skyscraper. The best known of Arconic is EcoClean which was launched in 2011 and which offers several advantages in terms of aesthetics, maintenance and environmental impact.

Moscows Rublyovo-Arkhangelskoye District Mega Project: Russias Incredible Future Smart City Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2018-11-18 | Moscow's Rublyovo-Arkhangelskoye district Mega Project: Russian New Smart City Moscow's new Rublyovo-Arkhangelskoye district, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and Pride Architects, will be a "people-centric" sustainable smart city.Located to the west of Russia's capital city, the 460-hectare site will be turned into a mixed residential, business and culture hub.We developed a people-centric design for a smart interconnected city that brings people together not only through innovative technology but also through organising the public realm," said Christos Passas, project director at Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA).ZHA alongside Pride Architects – a studio based in Russia – consulted studies about happiness whilst masterplanning the district, concluding that building communities, access to nature and environmentally friendly design were key factors.ZHA has proposed a staged development process, so residents can become adjusted to the new technology and integrate properly. Over a third of the smart city will be given over to parkland and forest, with a large lake in the centre.Smarter energy structures are defining feature of smart cities. The architects used the EDF Group's platform for simulating energy use in urban scenarios to optimise how local sustainable energy sources will be used to power the city's technology effectively.Moscow's population currently stands at 12.4 million, an increase of 30 per cent in the past 20 years. The new district is designed to ease the pressure without curtailing the city's growth.Rublyovo-Arkhangelskoye will be able to house 66,500 new residents when complete. It will also provide 800,000 square metres of office space for Moscow's growing financial consulting, legal and auditing sectors.It will be connected to Moscow via a 12 mile metro line. The railway will begin construction in 2020 and connect to Moscow's Shelepikha interchange station.Smart cities are seen by many as the future of urban environments. In America a cryptocurrency millionaire has announced plans to build a smart city using blockchain technology in the Nevada desert, and the Saudi Arabian government is investing £382 billion in a fully automated city filled with robots.
NewYorkJFK New $13B Airport Massive Mega Project Renovation: US Biggest Airport Transformation 2025 Worlds Mega Projects & Developments 2018-11-17 | New York's JFK Airport $13Billion Mega Renovation :United States' Major Mega Project For 2025.Gov. Andrew Cuomo unveiled several new details about the upcoming transformation of John F. Kennedy International Airport, most notably the creation of two new terminals that will replace some of the existing terminals, and rise on the northern and southern end of the complex. The cost of this revamp has gone up from the $10 billion estimate that accompanied the first announcement about the redevelopment in early 2017 to the current estimate of $13 billion. The announcement is accompanied by several new renderings of the overhaul that really give a sense of the massive scale of this project.These renderings also show off some curious additions to the airport that are worth noting here: a section labeled Central Park at JFK; miniature versions of the High Line, and what appears to be Chelsea Market; a facsimile of Flushing Meadows’s Unisphere; and sculptures that are probably intended to denote the Big Apple. It’s not yet clear if any of these features will actually make it to the airport in the end, but in any case these miniature recreations seem more Las Vegas than New York City.Now on to some more important details: the terminal anchoring the southern end of the JFK complex will be developed by the Terminal One Group, which is a consortium comprised of Lufthansa, Air France, Japan Airlines, and Korea Air Lines. This nearly 3 million-square-foot, $7 billion behemoth will replace the airport’s existing Terminals 1 and 2, and also occupy the site left vacant by the demolition of Terminal 3 in 2014.The new terminal will have 23 international gates, of which 22 will be able to serve wider bodied jets like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A380. In addition, there will be 24 security screening lanes, 116,000 square feet of airport lounges, 230,000 square feet of retail and dining options, and 55,000 square feet of interior green space, and a children’s play area. This terminal will be operated by Munich Airport International, and provide connections to Terminal 4, which was most recently expanded in 2013.At the northern end of the JFK complex, JetBlue will develop a 1.2 million-square-foot terminal, at a cost of $3 billion. The airline will demolish the existing Terminal 7 and utilize the space left vacant by the demolition of Terminal 6 in 2011, to create this new terminal.JetBlue’s new terminal will have 12 international gates, which will all accommodate wide-body jets. There will be 74,000 square feet of retail, 30,000 square feet of airline lounges, and 15,000 square feet of recreation space. This terminal will also provide connections to JFK’s newest terminal, Terminal 5, which opened in 2008.The airport revamp is based on a masterplan created by Mott MacDonald and Grimshaw Architects. Port Authority selected the team, after a competitive Request For Proposals (RFP) process, in September 2017. Overall, the revamped airport will be notable for its high ceilings, natural light, exhibits featuring the work of local artists, interior green space, free Wi-Fi, and security enhancements like radiation detection.The rest of the funds set aside for the overhaul will go toward several infrastructural improvements in and outside of the airport complex. For instance, Port Authority will increase the capacity and frequency of the JFK AirTrain. The tangled mess of roads that connect airport’s six terminals today will be replaced by two main “ring roads” called the north loop and south loop.Outside the airport, the State Department of Transportation is working to ease several bottlenecks like the Kew Gardens Interchange with the Van Wyck Expressway. On the Van Wyck, the 4.3-mile stretch between Kew Gardens and the airport will get a fourth lane in either direction, which will be for vehicles with three or more passengers, or for for-hire vehicles with at least one passenger.Aside from all that, the Port Authority is also looking to develop what it’s calling the Kennedy Central Hub, which will be located at the center of the airport and could have a multitude of functions such as public open space, a conference center, or a cultural space.Construction on the new terminals is expected to begin in 2020, with the first new gates opening in 2023, followed by a more substantial completion in 2025. The other two major airports serving New York City, LaGuardia and Newark are also in the midst of major transformations to bring them on par with other major international airports across the world.Please like and share the videoDon't also forget to subscribe to the channel .Thanks for watching!
