buildings in manhattan have a huge amount of space
dedicated to hallways, stairs and elevators. this includes
utility space on floors for motors that run the ventilation
for these spaces, as well as the motors for elevators.
it's a particularly bad problem. the bigger the building gets
the
more space you need for these things.
introducing dronechitecture high rise buildings.
ALL SPACE IN THE BUILDING IS ACCESSED FROM OUTSIDE
WINDOW-DOOR PORTS. there are no hallways from stairs
and elevators. you simply attach your harness to a drone
above your head and it lifts you up directly to your desired
floor and desire DOOR on that floor. in this manner,
internal routing hallways and internal elevators are
eliminated. also, this is a particularly safe set up in case of
fires because the drones can access any and all parts of the
building FROM THE OUTSIDE so the building is designed to
provide many portals of escape and these include
emergency repelling lines on all portals to allow people
down safely in case of incapacity of flying drones.
special harness for disabled people will be built. but in
general the drones can only lift objects of a certain weight
to every floor at a time.
finally the building is designed with a crane on top of it for
moving the occasionally overly large or heavy object that
cannot be lifted by drone. like a couch. or a piano.

//no elevators no stairs no hallways //... no capitals.
At least not in the right places. |
|
| |
^ in that respect, I'll gladly bun it if all the capitals that are there correspond to the ones that aren't. |
|
| |
What about wind forces ? The turbulence around tall structures can be significant... |
|
| |
...enough turbulence to blow the idea out of it's appropriate category... |
|
| |
Could probably do with a category as well. |
|

I mean this obviously won't work because drones large enough to lift peole are going to have a large cross section, so your balconies will need to be huge, and indexed so there's room overhead for the huge drone negating and space savings inside. |
|
| |
But it raises an interesting point about space efficiency. I remember reading once that tall buildings like the Burj Khalifa end up having a huge proportion of their interior cross section taken up by elevators, given limits of travel speed. |
|
| |
Maybe just use your cranes for hauling people up? Maybe just clad the outside of the building with elevators, with opaque inside windows to preserve privacy. |

easier to read as "drunkitechture". |
|

I give this a bun because it is not a pun or piece of goofiness. It is an earnest, genuinely doughy half baked scheme. |

So I suppose this rules out using catapults instead. |
|
| |
[-], because what happens when it rains? It becomes
drenchitecture! |

Not necessarily; given a high velocity, and a method for imparting spin-stabilization, they might still be a viable option. |
|
| |
I scratched my head about dronchitecture. But now I get it: an edifice with integral drones. It is not far at all from smart elevators. If you put them on tracks they would be elevators. |
