Skymile tower is the centerpiece of "Next Tokyo 2045" which was a collaboration between a team led by David Malott, who is one of the top computational specialists and researchers at Khon Pederson Fox Associates, while also serving as the chairman of The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (where the project was published); Leslie E. Robertson, one of the most important highrise engineers of the past 60 years; Keisuke Hiei, who is a high profile urban architect in China and Japan, working on many buildings, including the SWFC in Shanghai and the ICC in Hong Kong; and Heidi Werner, a urban futurist software developer who has helped create some of the back end of BIM urban planning software. Together they decided to conduct a project study on urban density, material infrastructure, and large scale sustainability in a transit oriented community. At the same time, they attempted to factor in the artificial archipelago that the project would create as a defense against storms and tsunamis (a large concern for low-lying Tokyo). Overall, the project takes advantage of many technologies barely used, and tried to evaluate the feasibility of applying them to a large scale project. The project went through a full design process, and it has been determined not only possible, but theoretically practical... Though not saying it will ever be built.
