Project: The Shimizu Mega City pyramid over Tokyo Bay
Tokyo one of the world most ancient city. It could become home to the greatest the engineering marvel of modern man. The megacity pyramid. Over 3,000 feet high, it's a radical new approach to urban life. A 3 dimensional city with skyscraper suspended form like fruit on the tree and people speeding between them through a vase matrix of holo-supports one of the greatest engineering challenges in history.
It would utterly transform Tokyo bay, the first offshore city ever been. But, should it be built perilously perched on the Pacific Ring? It would be exposed to nature's wrath at it's most devastating the terrifying tidal wave called Tsunami.
What would it take? Are there material strong enough? Technology advanced enough? energy abundant enough? or would it jeopardize the lives of 750,000 people in a single gigantic structured the Shimizu megacity pyramid, the future of urban living for the next Atlantis?....
