When it comes to distant skyscraper designs, this one can take a beating.
Dazzling renderings have been unveiled for a 210m (688 ft) sci-fi style New York skyscraper that almost looks like it’s made from Play-Doh, with spinning tube-like structures rolled up into a towering frame.
The organic design was conceived by the Turkish architectural firm Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio, which described the structure as ‘amorphous’ and a ‘transparent, ghostly attitude in the city skyline’.

The studio has not revealed what it thinks it would cost to build, but it’s safe to say it would be in the region of ‘a lot’.
The Turkish design house has made stunning designs a specialty.
MailOnline reported in 2019 on its breathtaking concept for a gravity-defying hotel hanging from Norway’s 1,982-meter-high Preikestolen cliff.

The standout feature of the design is a nerve-racking, glass-bottom cantilevered pool that juts out over the beautiful Lysefjorden.
The studio’s crazy New York design follows several other extreme skyscraper proposals for the city.
In 2017, a concept was unveiled for ‘The Big Bend’, a slender U-shaped tower that would transform the Manhattan skyline.
Described as the ‘tallest building in the world’ and measuring 4,000 feet in length, the project’s concept drawings reveal a skyscraper that reaches a top and then curves back down again.
Designed by Oiio and planned for Billionaire’s Row on 57th Street, the concept features an elevator system capable of cornering, horizontal and loop travel.

The 91-story, 1,420-foot-tall 111 West 57th Street skyscraper, which will rise about a quarter of a mile into the sky and will open later this year
Meanwhile, another extreme design that is actually taking off – opening this year – is the 91-story, 1,420-foot skyscraper 111 West 57th Street, which reaches about a quarter of a mile into the sky.
It is the second tallest residential skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere, with the nearby Central Park Tower standing at number one at 1,548 feet.
Prices for the 60-odd apartments at 11 West 57th Street start at $ 15.5 million (£ 11.3 million), with the penthouse listed at $ 59 million (£ 43 million). It was designed by New York-based Shop Architects.
