I don't see how the panels are attached or how one is expected to go up it besides a cherry picker or something.

I don't see how the panels are attached or how one is expected to go up it besides a cherry picker or something. they're hung like curtain wall, which is pretty bog standard building technique. presumably there's no way to go up the tower because there's no reason to go up the tower. there might be enough space for stairs inside though

donoteat posted:i love it, the much touted "bricks for affordable housing" aren't even structural That was always going to be the case unless you happen to be digging through something like London Clay which can be made directly into bricks. Otherwise you're just making mud bricks or, at best, very, very low-quality cement. I'm 99.9% certain Musky read a report about companies competing to remove Crossrail's tailings for brickmaking and used his giant brain to completely ignore boring things like geology and basic materials science, to say "Hmm, tunnel... make bricks... housing problem solved, Musk you're a genius!".

Here's how HR Giger planned the same thing for Switzerland. In 1993. Using maglev trains going at 600 kmph.

WHy does it require the vehicles to be equipped with bumper-skates??! Just make a loving tunnel and drive through it! All these cars are going to be 100% fully automated next generation right? So why bother with a physical guidance appliance? Holy gently caress
