The Skyscraper Proposal Named After a Game of Thrones Character

Designed by Mark Foster Gage this tower was commissioned by an un-named high end developer in 2015. The ultra-luxurious residential supertall is heavily ornate with every floor being unique. It gets it's name The "Khaleesi", a character on the TV show Game of Thrones, because of its fantastical appearance.

Do you remember this proposal and what are your thoughts on ornamentation on modern skyscrapers?

[@bmosborne3795]

They should build more buildings with stone rather than boring glass.

[@lewisgarrison860]

@@bmosborne3795 Agreed. Variety in a skyline is nice.

[@filip-i-9156]

I like a good ornament

The Buffering Google Earth tower

[@zacharymiller5277]

It looks like a decomposing mix between the dark tower from lord of the rings and the Washington Monument.

[@Spoon97]

This would've been very painful to grab

[@h.m.3533]

I reckon the design would've worked better at a smaller scale/height

[@slightlyobeserat5781]

it kinda fits lol

[@rikiishitoru8885]

This is what buildings look like in post-apocalyptic movies 🤭

[@filip-i-9156]

It would be better if it had more plants growing out of it to make it green

[@sergpie]

This building, whose ambition I appreciate, looks like the skyscraper version of the final form of Sephiroth from FF7. If you look at the rendering of the facade, the things got winglets on wings with halos and spikes and all kinds of crap on it.

[@ArtzieKit]

That’s a very funny looking skyscraper. Maybe the rendering is just bad? but dang it looks funny nevertheless

[@DINGOS30]

I just think the material would be corroded from rain after some decades.

[@emilatik8581]

Me for sure likey likey...But,could still be lower than what's been shown there and re-placed much closer to the Billionair Row towers/supertalls other than almost - annoyingly - cover or obstructing the whole of the also very nicely and uniquely designed Tower Verre/MoMa Tower(the most Gotham-inspired skyscraper in the City after the Brooklyn Tower),which in my perception should be the silver line for it and therefore also be the icing on the cake at the end of the day.Indeed.Yeah.I'm just saying👌🤙

[@munchingskittles8382]

I remember this design and I still hate it. Looks like endless scraps of paper mache and junk thrown together it's so hard to see what anything is its over designed. It's so overkill.

[@lewisgarrison860]

Haha. I remember laughing out loud when I first saw it. But after some time I've grown to actually like it.

[@Zoods_]

Thats just because its a 3d render, it would look cooler if it was irl

[@TheLiamster]

Personally I don’t like it

[@bmosborne3795]

How tall is it?

[@lewisgarrison860]

It was a bit hard for me to find but the most recent iteration of it was to be 1492 feet. Unfortunately I made this animation before finding that out! Mines based off of a later released axon rendering with the Steinway Tower as a reference. Mine is around 1800 feet.

[@lee_liaoloh122]

while art deco look cool. this one is just too much. it look like landed alien mothership
