Needs an uncomfortably between floors. And I’d love to see a good xenolith in the walls
I didn’t even think of the inside of the building. Every single last trade on that jobsite would be cursing the architect’s name.
It might be easier to just finish the building, hire some drunk business men to haphazardly knock it down then rebuild on top of the ruins
My main university building is essentially made up of
seveneightnine different buildings built in different times with different architectures all joined together in a circle. Whenever you move from one part to another, all the floors shift around and you have to take a few steps up or down (or take a tiny elevator that moves you less than 2 meters).Edit: I lost count. It’s a lot and the borders between them are sometimes fuzzy, sometimes abrupt.
That’s pretty cool! It feels very geology adjacent, I hope they left the walls exposed so you can see the differences
It was torn down years ago, but back in the day Manhattan department store S. Klein’s was built that way. They brought all the buildings on one block, tore down all the non-essential walls on the first floor, and threw up a façade to make it look like one big building. Prices were low, but if you went to the third floor for toys you had to go back to the first floor to get to the third floor cookware section.
