6. The Big Bend – New York, USA
If Greek architect Ioannis Vikelas’ plans come to fruition he will build the world’s tallest high-rise skyscraper – the Big Bend in Manhattan. The structure, which is planned to be built in the form of a reverse U-shaped, will be 1,200 meters from one base to the other. The proposal is to build a thin 600-meter building that will include elevators that can turn and even move horizontally, with a Baptist church between the two connected buildings. The shape of the Big Bend was seen as an attempt to circumvent the building regulations limiting the height of skyscrapers in Manhattan, and in response to the prosperity of these luxury buildings in the city. As of 2017, the Big Bend is in early planning stages only and Ioannis Vikelas is trying to recruit investors for the ambitious project.
