    • ]]>     It will be enough to hear what’s the name of the company that has designed this project and you’ll realize how incredible this really is.

    Chinese architecture company MAD Architects has created a conceptual design of a housing complex that should be eventually built in Beihai. The key feature of this incredible megastructure is that it just looks like a few of hills brought together.

    The project is named “Fake Hills” and designers are claiming that it will significantly reduce consumption of energy by allowing natural air and light to filter through the construction.

    As you can see from photos, it is planned to put in a few of botanical gardens inside this complex. Let’s just hope that the designers will find company that is strong enough to ensure financial backup for this colossal complex which, if it was built, will become one of the main touristic attractions in China.

    • ]]>     Few weeks ago we have witnessed the opening of one of the world’s most amazing buildings, Burj Khalifa, that surely can be classified as one of the wonders of the modern civilization.

    But, the race in building megastructures is continuing and there are some plans that could take that world’s tallest building title from Burj Khalifa. Miami could soon get some attention if the plans for building a ‘city within a city’ called Miapolis become real.

    If those plans realize, the new superscraper in Miami will be a 183 metres taller than the Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. The future of this project is not certain but if they find investors for such megastructure Miami will certainly become a new attraction for thousands of tourists.
