A desire to go taller, bigger, testaments to humanity? What will we learn from this? In terms of energy, it is surely a waste of money, no? I appreciate this tower,not for what it is, a masterbatury effort of the will, a constractors and engineers wet dream, but for what its offspring might be: something more than a symbol. It will reveal an increaseed understanding of operating at that scale in terms of construction, but to what end? Do the means justify the ends? Is this the right decision, given what we know? Why one kilometer, again? What does it have to do with anything? Why are architects cool with this? Architects? Hello. Hmm, what is it we want to do after the concrete tri-pod?
