a road going thru a building

Call4ljw SG

Or has it already happened?

This is a picture of a building in Japan.

They actually built a highway through the building, to save space i guess.

Since singapore is running out of space, i wonder if this could happen here.

likeyou SG

Maybe.....never knows.

seyKai SG

this is a landmark and to show their engineering skill

the construction cost is much higher than the space itself

dun think singapore will do that

FireIce SG

ah! maybe we can highway built on top of each hdb joint together, then those living at hdb can drive to their individual block, park and just take a lift down...like this hor, the below will be clear of exhaust fumes, less vehicles and more space.

I think road below HDB is quite common, when i drive into HDB, i use to go thru HDB, one of them is at tampines

We need more glass-like material to replace our walls in the future buildings.
