A New Jenga-Like High-Rise will Try to Connect Residents With the World

Whats in this story

I have always been fascinated by uniquely beautiful architecture. I think some of the most creative minds in human history belongs to architects. Here is a concept of a Jenga-Style living complex that I hope gets built one day.

Let’s pretend for a moment that buildings are built out of Jenga blocks. For the past century or so, skyscrapers have more or less been built from pieces that are uniformly stacked on top of one another vertically, creating solid, streamlined structures. We did this because it was efficient: it saved space in dense urban environments and was easy to construct. It didn’t hurt that the towers looked pretty cool, too.
