  • move out dubai oooohhhhhhhhhhh aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

  • what about any emergency that can occur? I mean, how the heck can I get off the last floor, in case of a fire, earthquake or many other problems? Did anybody think about it?

  • Many ask how will it fly. I ask who THE HECK pays this?!

  • Unseaciablsoinkhaybtu@4

  • and how the hell is it supposed to fly ?

  • they totally crooked this design from the cylons

  • as an Architecture student, I would say Nothing is Impossible.

    This structure is full of inspirations and wonders. It only need studies and researches for its structural basis.

  • and its never going to happen well maybe 500+ years from now

  • They should keep it in their own country, and give those thousands of poverty struck, pretty much homeless people a place to live.

  • so nice that it isn't jumping

  • the voice needs to be more clear with the cool musical background

  • brilliant idea

    only applicable in sci-fi movie

    thank you

  • This is amazing!

  • I can't begin to explain how many problems there are with this idea.

    What materials can they use to support such a structure?

    How can it move (or what can move it)?

    How can it dispose of its waste?

    How can you access it?

    How are you meant to maneuver such an irregularly shaped object without causing severe damage?

    How much will it cost/who would pay for it?

    How long will it take to construct?

    Those are just a few things that are not explained.

    Also it seems like an evil way to invade countries!

  • @AnotherWasteOfSpace as for disposing part , did u miss the recycling part? u should watch the video again and focus.

  • First and foremost your ideas is unique it can be a reality someday though it will take a hundred of years to consider your designs. It can be feasible for a space station. Though your choice of materials must relate everything in reality.

    Please produce a concept that is in reality in present and ready for the future.

    You must be a wealthy individual in china, creating such concepts involves a huge amount of money, people.

    I rate your work in reality. A rating of 3 and highest of 10. 

  • Interesting concept, not something i would invest in right away. A pretty far fetched idea, but not totally impossible. Engines that can generate enough power to create and anti-gravity filed strong enough to life something that massive, probable, but what would power it? And waste, can be burned, but that produces methane, which then can be used for fuel to power the heat and other uses, a possibility, but then what about the smell. And what about clean water, exchanged during stops? Maybe?

  • I understand that this is still in its drawing stages, but there are still too many unanswered questions for anyone to REALLY invest in this idea. I believe anybody who would actually sit down and really think about such a concept would agree with me. And yes we do have quite a few problems in real world and the last thing we need is some greedy corporate bigshots taking a floating vacation to look down on people who they feel are lesser than them, when that money could have helped many people.

  • Wtf? This design assumes we're going to build it in space. LOL

  • lol the spike on palm jumeirah

  • Stop trying to copy Bjarke Ingels bu using a cheap 3d software... what a posser! find your own style wannabe ...

  • prefer Death Star... from Star Wars! lol!

  • ... and where's the politics spike?!...

  • Sorry MAD but this one is going down the wrong path. I gather you are attempting to raise capital for this ridiculous scheme? Am amazed at how many companies are trying to create the next reality while failing to deal with the one we have. How are you going to deal with waste? Dump it at each stopping point? If u sold it as a future space station it may get more interest. Reminds of the WORLD Luxury Ocean Residence for the insanely rich. These kind of models are NOT what the world needs.

  • completely MAD! this is a waste of time from any angle.

  • STAR CITY made in China. ahahahaha.

  • how about putting some sweatshops in there ?

  • how is this big structure mobile?

  • fkkin stupid (:

  • Comment removed

  • this is really ABSURD

  • The builder's dream. But it ain't gonna me mobile, no way, unless they launch that big ass int1o earth's orbit. LOL, we can say, "Look! I see a city right next to the moon!"

  • what a ridiculous idea!

    It's not even possible to build something like this now, let alone make it mobile.

    It's the same kind of dog shit that's giving architects a bad name.

  • this shit is fucking amazing.....like smoking crack while getting my dick sucked by the queen of england.

  • Uhhhhh anyone else find it kind of creepy that they have a entire area dedicated to dead people...and where you go to die...?

  • it's called a cemetary, and every city has one already

  • So you plan on standing in the cemetary waiting to die? And by area I mean as in a giant chunk of this thing is dedicated to dead people he didn't even say they were buried there.

  • CE Nè PA LOGIQ CET TAWN.

  • don't like this project

  • Me neither! Its form is ridiculously nonfunctional. How the hell is that a traveling city. That thing must be massive.

  • yeah, and it will awkwardly stick out in any city...

  • why is people hating on china..they will make this, and china is the new super power, im not even chinese but i can admit the truth, the far east is becoming the new world power fastt

  • That's pretty cool....but I actually don't think it looks that big, and all the businesses at the end tips of the star are gonna fail...but the whole idea doesn't seem that great + its really UGLY

  • how the hell this crap is going to move. Super star my *ss.

  • Oh my GOD!

    In some years there will be no earth at all^^.

    Take me back to ancient Greece !!!!

  • perfect!

  • It will be shown in the Arsenale, from 14th September to 23rd November 2008.

  • i like it but it shoukld be left with my opinions of liking or not.

    other then that i couldnt help but was just thinking of how unsafe that place is. i mean i already think of things like this on a building. now a star?? i dunno....

  • USELESS

  • holy crap thats amazing.

  • ..boring

  • Now all we need is some UNOBTAINIUM!!

  • I used to draw moon bases when I was a kid, pretty much stuff like these. All those activity-aimed modules and stuff. Even if it doesn't move at all, it's pretty cool.

  • uhhh this is sarcasm?....it is by MAD.

  • Unfortunately not.

    Google "MAD Studio", "Absolute Towers" or "Absolute World".

    Or youtube "Ma Yansong" (the MAD could stand for "Ma Design")

  • old news... looks like kryptonian architecture on superman movies.

  • LOL a flying energy-independent city, what is this nonsense?

    It's like a fashion show for the architecture world - stupid and pointless.

    Man if only i could get paid to come up with retarded shit which is impossible in the real world...

  • all kinds of information in this presentation except for the most obvious question which is how the fuck does it levitate/float/move.

  • @warxsnake i'm more curious about what material they would use to built it. I mean short of magic, there is nothing that can hold a city out like that without some sort of support. There is a reason buildings are vertical, suspension bridges are suspended, and almost every building is wider at the bottom, rather then the top

  • @warxsnake hhahaha seriously man that's the only reason I was looking for this video. They probably want it to fly somehow, which is why it's docked in land-only areas in the pictures.

  • @warxsnake u are stupid its spikes are on the ground , the rest of it goes upwards , its supported by the four lower spikes , basically its a building supported by 4 bases

  • One thing it did not mention is tax and security? How about crime? How about waste treamment? Schools? If it is a mobile town, these should consider. The concept here is good but lacks serious consideration.

  • This is the dumbest arch. concept I have ever seen

  • the side spikes look like a structural nightmare to me. Other than that its one of the coolest architectural concepts i've seen

  • how does it move?

  • It does not. The Earth moves while it stands still.

  • oh wow, now i see. but how would travel to the host city of the olympics every four years and would it be able to change latitudinal and longitudinal paths over time?

  • They are going to control the Earth and force it to move/spin in the direction of their choice. This is also going to solve the problem of big amounts of snow on the poles, and centrifugal force is going to reshape our planet, which is kinda flat, so it is harder to get to central Africa, than to Scandinavia, because you have to actually go up. I think the Earth can change it's spin, if all the people in the world start going in one direction. They just need to enslave us ;)

  • amazing, wish it could come true. the thing is how to regulate this super star, part of Chinese teritory or a "getto" for oversea Chinese?......
