Saudi Arabia’s $1 Trillion ‘Mirror Line’ Will be the World’s Longest Skyscraper
PART A year on from that empassioned announcement and Saudi Arabia has finally debuted a first look at the proposed construction. Running on 100 per cent renewable energy, The Mirror Line is comprised of two monsterous buildings, each 16,000 feet high (for reference, the Empire State Building is only 1,454 feet tall) that run parallel to one another for a total of 170 miles. Importantly, as Saudi Arabia’s geographic features present a series of unique challenges, The Mirror Line will be forced to traverse some of the most diverse terrains on the planet, passing through coasts, deserts and fiercely mountainous regions. Inside, however, the world’s longest skyscraper will be a stunning feat of design innovation.
