The New York City skyline is filled with massive skyscrapers. For as far as you can see, these beautiful glass covered buildings dominate the view, and for a time New York had boasted one of the world's tallest buildings in the Empire State Building (which is currently number 28 on that list).
With massive buildings going up all across the globe, it's nearly impossible to hold onto the title of world's tallest building anymore. But New York has decided that it doesn't really care because they are planning on building the world's longest building in the coming years. The building is still waiting for its final approval from the city, but when it's up, it will be a marvel of architecture.
Designed by architecture firm Oiio Studios, the "Big Bend" as it has been named will change the New York City skyline forever.
The building would be a 3,900 foot inverted U shaped building that would also help the architects and builders kind of sneak past the building height restrictions currently in place in New York.
The architects would like to see the building built on West 57th Street, or more commonly known by locals as "Billionaire's Row." Knowing how little space for new buildings there actually is in New York, the designers have come up with an interesting solution for how to place the building. They would like to place the building two towers on either side of Calvary Baptist Church, connecting together above.
People in New York are both happy and angry about the new building. Some are saying it's going to be fantastic, while others are saying that it is a giant waste of money and that it will be dangerous for the people around it. Regardless, if it does get built, it's going to be a marvel of the modern world.
What do you think? Should the building be built? Let us know in the comments.
