When it comes to distant skyscraper designs, it’s a bit of a hit.
Striking versions have been unveiled for a 210 m (688 ft) sci-fi-style New York skyscraper, which almost looks like it was formed from Play-Doh, with winding tubular structures rolled up in a tower frame.
The Turkish architecture firm Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio invented the organic design, which describes the structure as ‘amorphous’ and has a ‘transparent, ghostly attitude on the city horizon’.

The studio did not disclose what he thinks it would cost to build, but it is safe to say that it would be in the vicinity of ‘many’.
The Turkish design house has made jaw-dropping designs a specialty.
MailOnline reported in 2019 on its breathtaking concept for a gravity-challenging hotel hanging from the 1,982-foot-high Preikestolen cliff edge in Norway.

The outstanding feature of the design is a nervous swimming pool with protruding glass bottom, which juts out over the beautiful Lysefjord.
The crazy design of the studio in New York 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 will transform the Manhattan skyline.
The concept drawings of the project are described as the ‘longest building in the world’ and a length of 4000 meters, and a skyscraper that reaches a peak and then curves downwards again.
The concept, designed by Oiio and planned to cross Billionaire’s Row at 57th Street, features a hoisting system that can move in curves, horizontally and in loops.

The 111-story skyscraper 111 West 57th Street, 1,420 feet high, which extends about a quarter mile into the air and opens later this year
Meanwhile, another extreme design that is actually going to be implemented – to be opened this year – is the 91-storey, 1,420-foot-high 111 West 57th Street skyscraper, which reaches about a quarter of a mile into the air.
It is the second tallest residential skyscraper in the western hemisphere, with the nearby Central Park Tower number one at 1,548 feet high.
Prices for the 60 apartments at 11 West 57th Street start at $ 15.5 million (£ 11.3 million), and the penthouse is listed at $ 59 million (£ 43 million). It was designed by New York-based Shop Architects.
