Roof 2000 ft AISC: Modern Steel Construction, August 1991

Description
An exploratory space use study for a six block area centered around the so-called MegaStructure. The project would have been integrated into mid-rise urban neighborhoods and designed to act as the nucleus for local economic renewal.

The tower itself would incorporate 150 mixed use stories and various commercial podium venues. The upper 50 residential floors would be placed in two oppositely placed triangular towers while the lower 100 office floors would be found within a diamond shaped floor plan. This bifurcated trapezoidal shape was found to behave well in computer simulations of wind loading on the steel frame and, regardless of it's location, seismic forces were not found to govern.

Architect: Albert C. Martin & Associates (ACMA)

Reminds me of that movie where Sauron the Grey lived but got defeated because the tree people got mad. Then Sauron lost the power of the force. But eventually he went on a boat with the woman elf to like Catalina island.
