[Þróndeimr]

:eek: Just insane, so futuristic! Hope they built it! :D

[el palmesano]

when it is going to stop Chinese to surprise to us? He is fantastic, seems a project of year 3000

[financial way]

this is called dream to come true.

no other words can descrip this project.

so creative...

[jonovision]

This is unbelievable! I love it!:eek2: :eek2:

[null]

what the sh1t?

[leno666]

ugh... this kind of scares me....
it would be great, in addition to the plants and trees at the rooft, to place plants hangin at the side :P so it will look all green and would look more like a mountain

[xAKxRUSx]

WOW! This is amazing and so creative.

1. I hope it gets built.
2. Hope there will be as much greenery as there is on the pics.

[MandarinManMark]

Wow! Amazing project. Unique. I've never seen a project that coordinates so many skyscrapers to create a single flowing shape! Very cool and futuristic, although seems a little "too organized." I really hope it gets built, but I think it would be better off either by itself as a self-contained city or as a part of a very, very large city on like an island or something (although a peninsula is a great place for it). Hope they are serious about it and it gets built!

[BOM]

Speachless...

[3tmk]

Wow! I have to say, I love it, and as somebody said above, it's really Unique and amazing.
I've got to see this built, I love the illusions it will give to the spectator from far away by night, an illuminated mountain made of buildings :D

[Ohno]

Speachless...

My word. :uh:

[uspaorkoo]

WOW! This is amazing and so creative.

[c0kelitr0]

:eek: :eek2: :eek:

[boto_mix]

I like it! :bow: surprising!

[Peloso]

I knew this would happen some day. This is THE "new way of life" that China, and only China - being independent from the western capitalist mafia, the one that propagandizes consumption for the sake of it - can bring the world.
:bow:

[Ashok]

Holy Shit! That looks incredible!!

[duskdawn]

Are you kidding me, China!?

[Bond James Bond]

Unreal, just unreal . . . I hope it gets built!

[littlekiss]

:omg::eek2:

[Johan]

Wow, its really amazing. But just think about the amount of construction that has to be made to complete a project of that size, it got to be equal to building a whole city. basicly from ground up! It would be really cool if it happend though...

[flesh_is_weak]

nice...man-made mountains...way cool!

[jason poon]

It's a concept that never get real.

[BMXican]

crazy shit! I love it

[hkia]

It's nice. But I don't think it fits with the rest of the city.

I want it build, but not in Chongqing.

[xAKxRUSx]

fdsfsfsf

dsfsfsfds


sdfdsfsfdsfsdfdsfsfsfd

huh?

[Kenwen]

that will be the new way of city building, the whole place will look green, how great is that

[LordChaos80]

that will be the new way of city building, the whole place will look green, how great is that

Uh, not sure if I would like that. Although the renderings indeed look spectacular, I think a city like this would be a kind of soulless and way too generic place to dwell...

[Kenwen]

but it is more closer 2 the natural world...

[QuebecCity]

haha, sorry but its ridiculous.. at least.. its a good step to breath better in cities...

[jhae]

OHHHHHHHH MY GOD!! WOWZERS.. this project is HUGE...
city of the next millenia..
this should one of the worlds great wonders..
i really loved china's enviromental concerns..

[Chad]

TREASURE PLANET!!!!

[miltown]

wow incredible

[KJBrissy]

How tall is the tallest, or is it just a concept design at present?

[allan_dude]

i like this project so much!

[Skabbymuff]

madness!

[Indyman]

Uh, not sure if I would like that. Although the renderings indeed look spectacular, I think a city like this would be a kind of soulless and way too generic place to dwell...

Thank you very much. My thoughts exactly. Plus it will be a huge hideous blob in the skyline.

[philip]

it's too awesome, it's like one of those crazy Dubai projects.

[Þróndeimr]

How tall is the tallest, or is it just a concept design at present?

If you compare the tallest to the current skylie the tallest ones will be around 350m, perhaps to to 400m. :)

[Erebus555]

A map will be the only thing to keep you alive in this place. This is totally crazy and I dont know whether I like it or despise it.

[xiaoluis]

Insane!!

[zee]

absolutely amazing

im simply speechless about this

[SaiGoNeseKiD]

Damn! this one just gave me a multiple futuristic orgasm!! Ohhh...

[909]

I have mixed feelings about this project, somehow i think it's an interesting and cool idea, on the other hand this is nothing more than human storage devices. It's so out of touch of the human scale, so anonymous and massive. It looks like some planners haven't learned from the mistakes, which can be found in de large European cities, made in the past.

[BigChina]

is it real?

[ZZ-II]

that project fascinated me. the most futuristic project i've ever seen. they must build it!

[bluga]

so what's the status?

[Þróndeimr]

so what's the status?

Its a proposal, or a visionary proposal. The government has arranged the whole thing about the green business district, but wheter its a real proposal is unknown.

[macpolo]

Damn! this one just gave me a multiple futuristic orgasm!! Ohhh...

be careful
its huge:nuts:

[St. Anger]

what the hell..this must be the stupidest looking thing ever, hope this doesnt get built it just looks completely stupid, who the hell would want to live in the inner buildings or something?

i seriously they're gonna go through with this, if for some reason they want to blight their city with this tripe of a project the costs for building something like that look astronomical, and probly far outweigh their economic potential

[nezzybaby]

^thats a bizarre response st anger, how can these buildings costs outway their economis potential. Each building is a basic cuboid, like you find in any city in the world, the only thing that makes them any different is a slanted top. Each building therefore will cost as much as any other building in the world. Each building will also generate as much income as every other building in the world. Also living in the building in the middle will be comparable to living in any building in any city, there is a roads width betweeen each which is all the space you ever get, actually there is more room because there is a roads width on all sides rather than having a building right next door. Demand for office space in china is massive, look at cities like hongkong and ghuangzhou, they are growing at an incredible rate and still struggling to keep up with demand. Something like this if built in the correct phases would easily fill up. Basically everything you said is total rubbish, why not repost with something along the lines of:

I dont know much about this city or skyscrapers, but personally i dont find this as aesthetically pleasing as everyone else seems to.

or better yet dont post at all

[ZZ-II]

i think it's a great project but i don't believe it'll be build

[VaastuShastra]

st anger does have a point about the central buildings.

But I still think this is the best (skyscraper) project I have ever seen.

I have often wondered about building a number of skyscrapers in a spiral so that they gradually get taller as they go to the centre.....

But this is a far better implimentation of that theme.

It looks absolutely magnificent from the outside.

Better than any Dubai project even.

It looks so biological, and asthetically pleasing.

If this project comes to be, there should be no qualms about copying its style the world over - I know id love to see something like it in India or Britain.

[kelvinyang]

Which company designed it?

[beaujoe]

Only a country like China could pull off a project like this. I mean, the level of central planning and control necessary to seamlessly bring all of the elements of this design together is astounding. It seems like this project would be WAY too demanding and complicated for a private developer to build, not to mention expensive.

I'm anxious to see how this turns out. I hope it gets built. I think it's a brilliant idea, has great visual appeal, and would create a really nice living environment.

[bonivison]

So beautiful and unique
I love the design
and I hope it will be built before long

[Kenwen]

this will be the first step to build clean city in the human history, everythin r clean, usin renewable energy, non toxic buildin material, it wil be humans greatest achievement, this should be the future city that everyone lives in, earth wil be a better place

[zergcerebrates]

OMG! This is crazy! Very original. MUST BUILT!

This project will be an icon for Chongqing. Are they building it? I really hope they do.

[zergcerebrates]

By the way this reminds me of Supermans house.

[Sbz2ifc]

I don't like this project a bit!

[jhae]

holly crap... i finally have found this thread after a monsterous search.. dang..
this is agreat megaproject.. wahh!! can anyone repost pictures from the 1st page?? there all x's... plss marcopolo..

[erbsenzaehler]

^^ A bit better than these strange... "glass-hills" ;)

[Patrick]

if they'd build these magic mountains, chongqing definately would be my first travel destination!!!

[Orion602]

wow. this is very original project

[NEWUSER]

Which company designed it?

Designed by COBE and Chongqing University, the conceptual project is called Magic Mountains and inspired by the nearby peaks that over-look Chongqing, inspiring the local nickname, Mountain City.

Area is 1.3 KM X 1.7 KM

9 mountains made up of building's: Maximum building height is 350 M

http://cobe.dk/ <- go here and see the movie about it

http://international.cqu.edu.cn/index/index.aspx

Architect website still list this project "Magic Mountains" as ACTIVE and not canceled...

[z0rg]

^^ The concept is simply great, but I don't think this project has any real chance. The area covering this plan is currently being sold to different developers. Chongqing Park Place (2x70fl, 2x40fl aprox) will be probably the fist major highrise project growing up over there.

[Second City]

Lol that thing looks like a joke. The idea is cool it just seems like it isn't going to happen.
