Life at the Top

“I’m the chief designer for this project and I had previously gathered 70% of the top designers from our firm to form a temporary group to brainstorm ideas for this project.

“After doing necessary measurements and calculations, we noticed that it’s best to design it at a height of 666 meters mainly because those of Somer descent see this as their lucky number. Somewhere along the six and eight range.”

At this point, Grant noticed a satisfied smile on Jasper’s face before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

He, a top designer in the world, found his aura completely crushed by Jasper without even realizing it.

“Taking into consideration the aesthetic, beliefs, and what we learned from field surveys regarding those of Somer descent, we think that it is vital that we adapt to local conditions. We’ll integrate the design of skyscrapers that have already been constructed and those that are still under construction around the world.

“Waterhoof City is located at the mouth of the Yahaza River, and the majority of the land belongs to alluvial plain, which means that it has a relatively weak bearing capacity. This makes it unsuitable for traditional-style buildings…

“We have decided to go with a dragon shape to form the aesthetic base, using modern architectural geometric engineering to complete the proofing design.

“The main body of the building will be cylindrical and slanting at a 23-degree arc to reinforce the structure, increase wind resistance, and minimize polar vortex impact. 64 auxiliary lines will coil around the cylindrical main body, moving upward in the shape of a dragon…”

Listening to Grant’s explanation and looking at the computer-generated renderings on the screen, Jasper was pleased.

The building shown in the computer was 666 meters in height, with six floors underground and 122 floors above ground. The building was divided into the main body and auxiliary lines that circled upward. On the highest floor of the main building, there was a hollow-out of 40 meters high and 25 meters wide.

When Grant noticed Jasper’s gaze fixed on the hollow-out portion of the rendering, he took the initiative to explain, “Taking the coast of Somerland, a hurricane-prone area, into consideration, high-rise buildings here must be designed to resist wind, hence the hollow-out forms the essence of the design this time around.
