Facade of skyscraper in Manhattan is made up of drones

In second place in eVolo's Annual Skyscraper competition, which rewards innovative skyscrapers with the best designs, is "The Hive" (translated into Portuguese as "The Beehive"), a somewhat curious and different building. This is a project in downtown Manhattan, which would allow drones to fly, as many areas of the city are subject to no-fly zones and do not allow people to use flying objects.

"This control center model will be more attractive to the legislative sector as it addresses concerns about air traffic regulation. The location of the building is not only dictated by the commercial power of Manhattan, but is also far from the no-fly zones." air traffic established by the Federal Aviation Administration", explain the designers. What is most striking about the project is that its façade would be constantly changing, as it features modules designed to fit nine different types of drones, categorized by the shape and size of their landing lights, providing an environment for safe landing. The landing could be done horizontally, on their corresponding platforms - surfaces that can be turned vertically to be parallel with the tower's facade. "A hierarchy is established in the composition of the drones on the facade, such as their size and the size of the modules. The smaller ones on the inner layer, creating a more intricate interior, which can be accessed by the smaller drones through a large opening in the surface of the skyscraper" , comment the professionals.
