The Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid (also planned for Tokyo, Japan) faces most of the same problems as the X-Seed. The X-Seed 4000 is projected to be twice the height of the Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid at 2,004 metres (6,575 ft). As the proposed site for the structure is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, the most active volcano range in the world, the X-Seed 4000 would be vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis.Ī sea-based location and a Mount Fuji shape are some of this building's other major design features-the real Mount Fuji is land-based and is 3,776 metres (12,388 ft) high, making it 224 metres (735 ft) shorter than the X-Seed 4000. Its design calls for the use of solar power to maintain internal environmental conditions. A core column of reinforced concrete, encasing elevator shafts and an emergency staircase, is surrounded by a framework of steel tubes. Unlike conventional skyscrapers, to remain habitable the X-Seed 4000 would be forced to actively protect its occupants from considerable internal air pressure and external air pressure gradations and weather fluctuations that its massive elevation would cause. Tokyo Sky Tree was designed by the Nikken Sekkei architectural firm, and construction began in 2008. The purpose of the plan was to earn some recognition for the firm, and it worked." ![]() Georges Binder, managing director of Buildings & Data, a firm which compiles data banks on buildings worldwide, said the X-Seed 4000 "is never meant to be built. Methods of transportation within the X-seed would most likely include Maglev trains. It was designed for Tokyo, Japan, by the Taisei Corporation in 1995 as a futuristic environment combining ultra-modern and technological living and interaction with wildlife and nature. This structure would be composed of over 3,000,000 tons of steel. Its proposed 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) height, 6-kilometre-wide (3.7 mi) sea-base, and 800-floor capacity could accommodate 500,000-1,000,000 inhabitants. The X-Seed 4000 was a concept megatall skyscraper. Height comparison between the X-Seed 4000 and the Burj Khalifa ![]()
