Designs for world's longest skyscraper revealed

Designs for the world's largest skyscraper have been revealed and they're incredible.

Designed and proposed by Oiio Studio, The Big Bend skyscraper would be built in Manhattan, New York, and be the world's longest skyscraper measuring 4,000 ft.

Due to the Skyscrapers unique upside down "u" design, a statement on the Oiio Studio website states that the building would avoid being subject to the current New York zoning rules.

"If we manage to bend our structure instead of bending the zoning rules of New York we would be able to create one of the most prestigious buildings in Manhattan. The longest building in the world," reads the statement from the Oiio Studio website. "The Big Bend can become a modest architectural solution to the height limitations of Manhattan. We can now provide our structures with the measurements that will make them stand out without worrying about the limits of the sky."

If this building were to be built, it would be longer than the Burj Khlaifa in Dubai, the Shanghai Tower, and the Abraj Al-Bait Tower in Saudia Arabia.

Although the building wouldn't become the tallest building in the world, it would be very close at roughly 2000 ft. tall. This would put it in third place narrowly behind Shanghai Tower and just ahead of the Abraj Al-Bait Tower.

However, while on the subject of some of the world's most unique and impressive buildings, here's a look at some other architectural works of art from around the world.

Burj Khalifa in Dubai

Taipei 101 Tower

Zifeng Tower in Nanjing, China

The Shard In London, England

The One Wall Centre in Vancouver, B.C.

Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand
