MEKSIKO CITY
- Kalau biasanya kita dibuat terkagum-kagum dengan adanya gedung-gedung tinggi pencakar langit. Kali ini bersiaplah untuk menyambut adanya bangunan luar biasa dari kota Meksiko, yakni gedung pencakar perut bumi.

Gedung pencakar perut bumi yang dimaksud adalah bangunan raksasa berbentuk piramida terbalik yang 'ditancapkan' di kedalaman tanah sedalam 300 meter menuju perut bumi.

Gedung piramida terbalik ini akan memiliki 65 lantai dari bawah tanah. Sebanyak 35 lantai paling ujung atau paling dalam dari gedung ini akan dijadikan pusat perkantoran. 10 lantai di atas area perkantoran adalah tempat tinggal, 10 lantai di atas area tempat tinggal atau pemukiman adalah pusat perbelanjaan, dan 10 lantai di atas pusat perbelanjaan adalah museum.

Permukaan paling atas dari gedung terbalik ini akan ditutupi lantai yang terbuat dari kaca seluas 240 meter x 240 meter. Sehingga di dalam bangunan tersebut mendapatkan cahaya alami dari dunia atas. Di tengah persegi tersebut tak lupa ditancapkan pula bendera nasional Meksiko.


Epic scale: The enormous complex is intended to get round the city's planning laws, which state that buildings can be no more than eight storeys high

Esteban Suarez, dari perusahaan arsitektur BNKR Arquitectura mengatakan, bangunan tersebut akan menjadi pusat budaya baru bagi Meksiko.

"Infrastuktur baru, perkantoran, pusat perbelanjaan dan kawasan hunian baru di kota ini diperlukan tetapi tidak ada lahan yang tersedia," ungkap Suarez seperti dikutip Daily Mail, Kamis (13/10/2011).

"Hukum federal dan hukum lokal melarang adanya penghancuran dari gedung-gedung yang mengandung sejarah. Adapun gedung baru yang boleh dibangun hanya dibatasi sampai delapan tingkat saja," lanjutnya.

"Pusat sejarah kota ini perlu dilakukan pembaharuan tetapi tidak ada tempat untuk itu. Satu-satunya cara adalah membuat gedung yang dibangun terbalik," jelasnya.


Unobtrusive: One advantage of the unusual structure is that it would create space in the centre of Mexico City, which is full of historic buildings which cannot be demolished
