Architecture firm BNKR Arquitectura, have designed an incredible 65-story ‘earth-scraper’ which plunges 300 meters below ground in Mexico City. The upside down pyramid will house10 stories each for homes, shops and a museum, as well as 35 stories for offices, and a cultural center.
A glass floor covers the massive 240m x 240m hole in the city’s main square to filter in natural light from the world above. The earth-scraper is flooded with natural lighte and will have many green areas, to act as a “run-to” area from every day noises. This has to be one of the most creative and beautiful architectural projects one could come across.
You when you see something and you think to yourself, "Wow. I wish I was the one who came up with that." Now is one of those moments.
