The world has inhabited hundreds of thousands of sky scrapers around, some reaching heights as much as 2700 feet above the ground. Talk of Burj Khalifa, the tallest building of the world. Standing at the Observation Deck at 124th floor can really shake one’s legs! So what if these tall buildings were all underground instead of shooting up to the sky?
Yes, an architect from Mexico named Esteban Suarez has proposed an idea of having “Earth Scrapers” which will be constructed completely underground. The motivation behind this idea comes from a local law in Mexico City that restricts buildings from having more than eight floors.
The newly proposed earth scrapers, as suggested by Suarez, will be inverted pyramid shaped buildings dug inside the ground. These earth scrappers will be as much as a thousand feet deep in the ground and will provide enough accommodation for good about one hundred thousand people.
Architecture has always evolved into innovative trends around the world but this idea of earth scrapers in one of its kind!
