X-Seed 4000 – This building this is possible

The Shimizu Mega City is just one of the many buildings completely planned out for Japan and only waiting on the materials, funding and technology to be able to bring them to fruition. One other such project is the X-Seed 4000, at 13,123 feet high, the massive, mountain-shaped building envisioned by Japan’s Taisei Construction Company would overshadow Mount Fuji itself by nearly 700 feet.

Can it be built?

Experience has taught to “never say never”, lunar exploration was thought to be impossible only a hundred years ago and from the looks of it we are not far away from setting foot on Mars. Japan is rich, technologically advanced, disciplined and has a small hint of insanity (the good type).

  1. No chance of this being built any time soon. The financial bottom line always has a say in building projects and the time it will take to recoup the investment in a project like this will just make it financially impossible to build.

  2. mmmmm interesting, i wonder if i would actually live 2 see this, only 2 places i want to go b4 i die is japan and amsterdam

  3. No way would i work nor live nor even visit the top of that thing. Can’t pay me no way, especially with bin laden alive, eehh! Not me, no sah.

  4. @ Ian you would be surprised to see this being built within the next 25 years
