P.E. ,
You see the monumental similarities,....I see the congruent symmetrical.....In any, case forum engineers will not get their kudos!!......
Who is that perfectly lined-up in your cross-hair T.C. ?........
haha archman, i admire your observation skills but come on,,,you find symmetry in that? I was actually going to ask TC to take a more symmetrical shot so i could copy it and make a 3D structure usin autodesk, just for fun.
My design concept is simple: made of concrete-reinforced to preserve the nature of the design. You want it too look like real feet right? The toenails obviously window panels and as well, the supposed feet will be wearing jewelery (diamond to viewer)-snaking around the feet, which would be made of galvanized reinforced steel and maybe window panels, to provide a descending/ascending staircase-ramps and railings for viewing around the outside of the "feet". Each floor would have a balcony to the outside, and you can actually enter the structure from downstairs-main entrance, using an elevator you can reach the top, and then walk down the spiraling staircase. Optically though can you imagine how fascinating it would be? from outside, the movement of tourists or whoever on the supposed staircase/ramps should produce a neat system of light, at night. As if there is a beam of light spiraling around the feet which ,although sufficiently illuminated within the balcony, there will be no lighting on the exterior of the feet itself. In other words it will look exactly as is the pic, only with beams of light spiraling around and light shooting out the toe nails. Walking on the inside, obviously its filled with restaurants and retail shit, you know....hahahahaha
