Could one false move topple this Jenga-like skyscraper? Beirutjenga1-thumb-550xauto-43959






Anyone who has played Jenga, knows that even the tiniest mistake can
bring the whole tower crashing down. So I would be kind of nervous about
moving into a giant life-sized Jenga like apartment tower.

Designed by the Jenga obsessed
folks at Herzog & de Meuron, the Beirut Gardens complex includes
129 apartments, each with its own outdoor garden space created by having
the exterior walls recessed some 18 feet from the edge of the floor.
But what's with the way those outdoor areas appear to end without any
type of wall or railing?

I would get kind of nervous if my neighbor decided to move something
big like a grand piano one day, but then again, perhaps Jenga isn't
popular in Lebanon.

I don't mind this building. Reminds me of the hanging gardens of Babylon for some reason.

Quite aesthetic, though is all that extra room efficient and stable?

Efficient? Probably not. Stable? Probably. As long as the central structural pillars are built well. Those would make some incredibly expensive apartments however.

Eh, as they say, the richer get richer (and better housing--mansions will be a thing of the past with this type of building).
