Times Squared 3015

Times Squared 3015 is an ambitious architectural concept for a vertical city proposed in New York City, designed to reach over a mile in height. Although not a serious business proposal, it was a notable entry in a 2015 design contest. The tower aims to create a self-sustaining community with features like vertical farming, a beach, a mountain range, and even a redwood forest, all stacked in individual modules. Each zone is designed for optimal solar exposure, promoting a unique living environment. The building would also house major retail brands and entertainment options, making it a potential hub for residents and visitors alike. If realized, it would become the tallest building in the world, surpassing one mile in height.
