Architect David Malott has designed some of the world’s tallest buildings. In this excerpt from The Inquiry, he explains his plan to build a mile-high tower in Tokyo – an earthquake zone. He says tall towers are safer in an earthquake than single-storey dwellings. This extract includes audio from a visualisation of earthquakes in Japan by Solarwatcher.net.
