Cost

Good gosh! How much would this cost??? --Shultz 03:34, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Because it has already been fully designed using materials available today, the structure could, in principle, be built, although it would likely cost several hundred billion dollars, if not more." [1] --Darklegions 05:20, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for answering. If the US wanted to build it, they would have to shut down their entire military for 1-2 years! How, feasibly, would one or several nations afford it? --Shultz IV 09:46, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, new, faster, and cheaper ways to build will be invented, along with building materials that are stronger and faster to make. That ought to make it cheaper to build later on. --Shultz IV 09:47, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Picture?

Does anyone have a picture of the X-SEED? I really want to see what it looks like! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moped (talk • contribs)

Aside from the picture featured in the article, there is this: Emporis Just another romanticized artistic conception, though. --Mitglied von die Elektronischenzyklopädie Schriftleitung 04:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Expected?

The template in front of the article seems to indicate that is is expected. However, in the article itself, it was made clear that it was not meant to be built at all. I'm confused. --Freiberg, Let's talk!, contribs 22:27, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing that it was not meant to be built at first, but vision has made it to a potential reality. Singu larity 05:29, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Construction Length

How long would this take to build?27Azerbaijan (talk) 19:38, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Asia

I am not a Wikipedian so I may be wrong, but the sentence "These structures will be in Asia" sounds a little awkward and unnecessary. 71.246.200.190 (talk) 02:19, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tokyo Tower of Babel

Hello all,

I was recently looking at the article Proposed tall buildings and structures, and found the tallest envisioned building is the Tokyo Tower of Babel. Note the lack of the word fully, a word used in the description of X-Seed 4000. If this is notable enough, can it be added. Sorry, I haven't been on this page before, so its advertisement as the tallest fully envisioned building in the world seemed dubious.

Possible "In Popular Culture" Section

The 2014 anime Kill la Kill features a megastructure very similar to the X-Seed 4000, also constructed in Tokyo Bay. You can see the similarities here. Although the parallels are incredibly obvious, at least to my eyes, I don't have a source specifically stating that the design was inspired by the X-Seed. So, 2 questions: what is the general stance on "in popular culture" sections with only one entry, and are there any provisions in the community guidelines for things like this, where something is fairly cut and dry, but sources are difficult or impossible to find?
