January 1997, a full team of architects, engineers, biologists and designers join their capacities and investigations and start to develop the Prototype "Bionic Vertical Space" ideologically and physically. The result is presented at the "III International Conference IFHS", as a lecture titled "Conquest of Vertical Space in the 21st Century - International Conference on Multipurpose High-Rise Towers and Tall Buildings" organized by "The Concrete Society" in London, October, 1997.
The Original Lecture is signed by the Architects Eloy Celaya, Javier Gómez and the Engineer Javier Manrique. At that moment "Bionic Tower Vertical City" starts its pace and development until the beginning of the year 2001, being this project directed by Architects Eloy Celaya, Javier Gómez and Mª Rosa Cervera. Actually "Bionic Tower" Project is known all around the world and it is trying to establish its final situation and the necessary infrastructure to carry out the project. Future, uncertain, but hopeful. Bionic Tower. The Bionic Tower is a proposed vertical city, an extremely large building designed for human habitation designed by Spanish architects Eloy Celaya, Mª Rosa Cervera, and Javier Gómez. It would have a main tower 1,228 metres (4,029 ft) high, with 300 stories housing approximately 100,000 people. The bionic tower would be exactly 400 meters taller than the current tallest building, Burj Khalifa.
The point of the Bionic Tower is to use Bionics to solve the world's rising population problems in an eco-friendly way, an incredibly difficult feat to accomplish. The Bionic Tower is composed of two complexes put together. The first complex, Bionic Tower, is made up of twelve vertical neighborhoods, each eighty meters high. The neighborhoods are separated by safety areas to make for easier construction and evacuation in case of an emergency. In 1997 work on the prototype Bionic Vertical Space began. While in office, then-Shanghai mayor Xu Kuangdi expressed an interest in the concept for his city.
