7 wonders of the anciet worl
7 wonders of the anciet worl
(OP)
Skyscraper is a tall building with offices and residential apartments.
Why are we not building skyscrapers that resemble 7 wonders of the ancient world ?

If built it will be okay to have offices and residential apartments in it, is it not ?
Hard to make a skyscraper out of Colossus of Rhodes and Statue of Zeus at Olympia.
I don't believe new structures resembling Lighthouse of Alexandria, Hanging Gardens of Babylon or Temple of Artemis exist.

Over 4-5 floors, you have to re-design everything, but once the redesign is done, continuing from 5-6 to 10 isn't "too bad" of an extra expense compared to the extra area. Over 10-12 floors? Your ground space expense needs to be very high for the extra money to be justified.
A pyramid is built that way because slaves were cheap, rock was available, and height was needed to impress ???. They tried to build pyramids with steeper sides, but those collapsed. You can do a lot when lives are cheap.

You can do even more with skilled and semi-skilled 'free' citizens, organised into efficient working gangs (no doubt with a sense of inter-gang competition), and motivated to work on a scheme of national importance.

That was the response of the Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry when a journalist in Spain asked him what his thoughts were about criticism his architecture was pure show, as reported in in El Mundo. He continued by saying, “There’s no sense of design nor respect for humanity or anything. They’re bad buildings and that’s it.”
Instead of the 7 wonders, you can have buildings that look like these:
