My mistake.. comments are correct, diagonal elevators have been around for a while. I meant CABLELESS elevators based on maglev tech.

There was this saying that went something like: "An architects dream is an engineers nightmare"

Pilots with intrusive thoughts:

"we hit the second tower!" "abdul, this is technically just one tower"

Bro got the Dyson air purifier

that thing's gonna collapse with a slight breeze

If a fire ladder can't reach you, it's too tall.
-
If this gets built, Everyone will be on edge every September.
-
And the Wonkavator becomes a reality...
-
Those elevators have not only existed for decades, but are currently in use all over the world.

Its like that architect looked at that one family guy cutaway gag where the plane goes through the arch π
-
This twin tower would just fall on its ownπππ
-
An elevator like this is used to get to the top of the arch in st. Louis.
-
I can imagine each wing of an airliner making a clean cut of each tower with a single swipe.
-
At least this way there is only one tower to hit

It was an interesting concept. While fully possible to build, it is also quite impractical. It doesn't offer any benefits over regular vertical skyscraper design.
-
Whoever the architect is for this, I can promise you they'll need to go into witness protection due to the sheer rage of the engineers.

Someone evaluating the building plans: "So no one remembers nine ele- "

No.
