Upside-down skyscraper proposed for Mexico City

Since Mexico City is built on the (mostly dry) Lake Texcoco, I can only assume the water level is pretty high. This seems like a bad idea.

Well, the mayor's public pool creation program was very well received. This could be an extension of that.

Skyscrapers are also a bad idea, because tall things have a tendency to tip over.

A 200 by 200 m glass floor? Quite an engineering challenge, even ignoring the fact that Mexico City is in an earthquake prone area.

I doubt this will go beyond concept status.
