Hello there,

It is our pleasure to share with you our most ambitious proposal to this day – the #YongeCity

Atelier RZLBD has proposed a 56km long tower, to be hovering above Toronto’s Yonge Street — the longest street in the world. The mega structure made of space-frame and shipping containers will accommodate 134,400 habitats, to reduce the gap in the struggling housing market. This seemingly perpetual line over Yonge Street, will symbolize equality and diversity, being accessible and occupiable by everyone without financial or culture discrimination.

Regards,
Atelier RZLBD

Ugh that "longest street in the world" thing never dies. Even if it were true (it's not even the longest street in Toronto), it's a pretty lame boast.
 
Architects have the most wild hot takes.

Could you imagine the hell this would cause with melting snow?
