I agree with Ali S. on this one. I would hate to work right next to the freeway like that unless there was some serious soundproofing going on. That said, it's still pretty efficient and interesting!
There's an office building in Austin (Texas, that is) that is built over the street. I always wondered how the folks there could be so calm with huge 18-wheelers rumbling mere inches underneath them!
This looks really strange, but anyhow futuristic. But I never will work in this building, because of the noize that cars and trucks will make. I believe I can't concentrate if there is so much noize.
It just looks like an on/offramp to me. That wouldn't be nearly as bad as say a four lane highway with large trucks constantly rumbling beneath your feet.
It is an offramp. I drove on (through?) it when I was doing some work in Osaka. It is in the Umeda section of the city. Nearby, there are stores in a highway overpass.
Yeah... but bulletproof glass, just in case :Þ
(Would bulletproof cristal survive a car crash?)
