This would have the population of a good size city, itself, probably. That's a lot of rent/taxes that pay for the maintenance and then some. The design, tho, those columns would have to be super massive. I also think you could add some guy wires between the columns, keep the look, but make it a lot more stable.

As an engineer that routinely designs thousand foot tall guy towers, I can tell you that some kind of guying system can work here, and allow this to whole crazy idea to pan out, at least numbers wise. Wind isn't nearly as damaging as really strong earthquakes are, so a fan of a couple inch thick cables splaying between the 4 main columns would work wonders. And this thing is massive and super strong at the top, so that's probably all you need, but, if the Burj wasn't in the way, adding some guy wires diagonally would add a lot of stiffness to the whole system. You could still add guy wires diagonally if you add them in a triangular or similar arrangement, kind of like the Arecibo telescope (RIP).

Don’t think it would be built. It would have to be very strong and light to not even be a safety hazard. Adding 4 more pillars would make it doable

Great idea!, i think 12 pillars (number on a clock) to distribute the load will make it more durable, more entrance - exit points in case of emergency & if would be easier to schedule repairs or maintenance if a portion so requires.

Yes, they’ll definitely need to add more pillars to the design; however, I’m not sure if there’s enough vacant land around the Burj Khalifa for a large amount of pillars.

Yes maintenance looks like a nightmare and over the decades they might face material fatigue or for whatever other reason decide the structure has to be removed. Demolition work on that one looks like an interesting problem unless you don't care if you wipe out the city centre.

Yeah! 12 pillars would be cool. And then add 2 moving platforms that represents the hour and minutes, so everyone in the city just have to look up to tell the time.

Their whole concept of _using the columns as air purifiers_ makes no sense, and those columns are going to need to be columns, not air purifiers, for this thing to stand up. You could actually make the columns much thinner if you used guy wires. Or make the legs full of shops (and air purifiers) and hold the whole thing up with several guys between the columns. The airspace below the whole circle would need to be banned for flying traffic, basically, but I think it could work. See 2000-ft tall towers as an example. We wants somewhere between these squat towers (structure wise) and the spindly telecommunication guy towers.

Yes, the height makes it a bit hard to believe possible. The designers can always decide to scale it down if the height happens to be a technical difficulty.

He said these bare footed arabs will be competing with each other building tall structures. That was mentioned over 1400 years ago. Yet the majority of the world rejects the final messenger. Now how do you like that for another prophecy because it is also mentioned that most people will not believe.
