The project called ‘The Big Bend’, with its total length of 1.22 km end to end, it has been dubbed the world’s longest building. The conceptual skyscraper would be formed from a very thin structure that curves at the top and returns to the ground. The scheme takes advantage of the city’s zoning laws without worrying about height limits.

Oiio’s design features a grid of large windows, similar to those on Vinoly’s skyscraper but with even smaller floorplates.
Its legs would straddle a historic building to fit into narrow plots either side, then rise to tower over both shop and de Portzamparc’s buildings.
