65 story underground skyscraper
Benjamin Roman, Metaefficient - Mexico City is a sprawling city with
nearly 9 million residents, and some of the most densely populated
neighborhoods in the world. So how could developers possibly squeeze a
65-story structure into the middle of the city’s historic district?
Instead of building upwards, a newly proposed design calls for building
down into the ground, creating the world’s first “earthscraper”. Mexico
City Earthscraper Design BNKR Arquitectura, the architecture firm behind
the concept, sees the below-ground structure as a natural solution to
the area’s need for more space. Local laws restrict the removal of
existing historic structures, and even if developers could find an empty
lot, new buildings in the neighborhood are limited to 8 stories in
height. Mexico City Earthscraper Design The designers envision a huge
inverted pyramid that could house offices, homes, retail stores, and
even special use spaces like museum galleries.

Boeing's aircraft factory
Boeing's aircraft factory in Everett, Washington, is one of the world's
largest. Thirty miles north of Seattle sits Boeing's immense
factory, where it builds 787, 777, 747 and 767 aircraft. At 472.3
million cubic feet (4.3 million square feet or 98.3 acres), it's the
largest building by volume in the world. Boeing first completed the
Everett site in 1967, because it had no facility large enough in the
Seattle area to build its new 747 jumbo jet. With 25 747 orders from Pan
Am on the books, time was short and the building was constructed as the
first 747 mock-up was constructed on the factory floor. Boeing had to
move 4 million cubic yards of earth to build the plant and construct the
steepest standard gauge railway in the Northern Hemisphere. Even at the
time of completion, Boeing set records for building size, at 205.6
million cubic feet.
