Build t Right
Without, midnight: A snowy downtown at midnight seen across a frozen river: the tallest tower in the city, a black steel skyscraper, hollow from the ground to the crown, a vast lit void with terraces stepping up its inner walls and the lights of gliders inside, its top open to the stars, and a tall gold doorway on the plaza at its base.
Within: Inside the hollowed skyscraper, looking up from a garden terrace: a canyon of light a hundred floors high, terraces and hanging gardens on every wall, bridges across the void, gliders and small airships in the air, and the stars through the open crown far above.

The High-Rise

A skyscraper hollowed for the sky.

The tallest tower in town, with the sky inside.

The hour

Midnight, and first light

The same spot, twice. Take hold of the line and change the hour.

First light: The same river view at first light: rose-gold sun on the crown of the hollowed tower pouring down into the void, the terraces green, mist inside, snow on every roof.

Today

The same ground, built right

The tallest tower downtown, emptied, as it is now, and as it could be. Pull today aside.

Today: The same skyscraper as it is now: a dark sealed office tower of black steel and tinted glass, almost every window blank at midnight, a fenced plaza with dirty snow at its base.

The wall label

Black steel, glass and sky · 60 MW · the tallest tower downtown

The tallest building downtown is a hundred floors of offices that nobody fills any more. Here it is hollowed: the machines take the floors around the old core, where a windowless room is what an office tower’s heart already was, and the middle is emptied from the ground to the crown and opened to the sky. Inside, a canyon of light a hundred floors high: terraces and gardens stepping up every wall, bridges across the void, gliders and lanterns in the air, the city through the glass. At midnight the sky is in the building.

A hundred floors of open air: terraces, gardens, bridges and the sky itself, inside.
