Times Squared 3015 is a design concept for a vertical city, more than a mile tall, located in New York City in the United States.
It was not a serious business proposal, but was an entrant in a 2015 architectural design contest.[1] This building is an attempt to provide a self-contained community, incorporating vertical farming, beach, mountain range, stadium, redwood forest, housing, and offices stacked vertically. Each zone consists of an individualized block or module; open space is carved out of the south-facing side of the module for maximum solar exposure. This creates a series of L-shaped ‘living’ clusters. Located above and below the residential/destination modules are a series of retail-themed entertainment modules. Circulation is handled by the main core, a massive elevator system that minimizes travel time by only stopping at the twelve major modules that make up the tower. From there, people use a series of secondary elevators/stairs to move within the module. Farmers tend to vertical farms that take advantage of southern exposure and provide oxygen and sustenance to the tower's community. Residents have a beach or a forest in their backyard. A shopping mall or an American football field are an elevator ride away.
The hypothetical skyscraper would be the world's tallest building and the first one to exceed one mile.[2]
