What is the maximum theoretical height for a building?
Theoretically there is no “maximum height” Designs were already made for 1 mile high space scrapers – the reason they were not built is due to the amount of traffic they would generate coming and going. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Illinois There is the theory of a “space elevator” a building so tall that one can take an elevator into orbit. http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/technology/space_elevator_020327-1.html Back in the 1960s I think it was Arthur C Clark who envisioned several elevators around the equator of earth – In geosync orbit structures would extend outward from each elevator “bridging” the distance between making a “ring” around the globe.
