Title: New building technologies

Abstract: Our invention is build on top of existing old buildings to add to housing for the poor by creating housing for the middleclass and the richer above, we might need to have separate entrances and security guards.   To do this we add columns along the sides of the building (made of strong material such as carbon fiber or even bamboo reinforced with steel cables). There could also perpendicular (horizontal) columns that could be thinner or less number of them or spread over wider intervals (so lighter) (that might be placed between windows) that gives the vertical columns support (where the perpendicular horizontal and vertical grid meet one possibility is to wedge them to together and fastened with screws or further fastened with bamboo and even fastened with brackets that are riveted in place) from inward and outward pressure (such as top weight and wind).   This invention could also be used to build the skeletons of new buildings, and since carbon fiber and bamboo are both flexible, they may withstand wind (therefore able to build taller buildings) and earthquake and Tsunami resistant.   These same grid formation could be used to reinforce for my other invention Titled: MULTI  STORY/LEVEL MAGNETIC LEVITATION VEHICULAR (JETSONS') SYSTEM.     We have a model of building shopping malls under airports.   Sand and Sun Lamps shining on lounging areas, electronic flight boards, kiosk ticket and do it yourself luggage weigh and check ins (where there is a large instructional -pictorial, board) and if not done currently, will be charged the extra cost of correcting the mistake (such as checking too many or too heavy luggage to your ticket).   On theme is to have an old cowboy (or colonial - historical town), the walkways could be lifted up with wood, like a wooden deck, with sand underneath. The retail outlet front walls could be made of historical wood theme, and even have another section of the shopping mall decorated with log homes, and possibly Alpine (multi coloured resort) and even a Parisian Square.   We could have lounges serving drinks, beer varieties, micro breweries, cocktails, and desserts, various restaurants possibly overlooking a large screen(s) with flight informations, and sun lamps at various locations (the type that treats Seasonal Affective Disorder).   We could have various underground airport hotels (where customers can order up a an lamp (for Seasonal Affective Disorder). Temporary between flight customers could rent cubicles to lie head down and even be rented pagers that are programmed to beep at stages towards time of departure and arrival of their flights.   We could also build an underground golf course (1%) or at least a driving range and mini golf coupled with rentable pagers that alert players to their encroaching flight time.   Furthermore we could develop a device in large establishments (such as shopping malls and restaurants and food courts and lounges even on the planes (GP 1%), hotels, neighborhoods), where customers enter some of their information (eg. ages -eg. family, genders - possibly looking for a person of the opposite sex, ethnicity, country of residence, height, weight, favourite interests, favourite games, favourite entertainment -eg. movies, television shows, musicians) and their table number and chat via text messaging and choose to give their email to the other person(s).   As well as shopping malls/golf courses underground under any space (eg.  densify all cities underground) we could also build underground condominiums/apartments and living spaces (homes/duplexes) ... Office and plants deep vertical skyscraper and wide footprint (campus style). We could make thick concrete walls in between to absorb noise to keep corporate secrets safe.   We can achieve stable underground buildings by reinforcing layers. We could stat by creating grid of bamboo; carbon rods; and/or rebar (or all, depending on strength, flexibility and cost) that stick into the surrounding wall which are anchored with concrete and a thing layer of concrete is (possibly completely and maybe in more than one layer) covered by a layer of a grid of bamboo; carbon rods, on the inner layer can be can be a skeleton of steel girders. We could also stack concrete blocks that interlock and with steel cables that are stretched taut vertically and possibly horizontally (we could also do two horizontal layers of concrete blocks leaving a space in between to apply poured concrete) to further reinforce the strength of the walls and then an inner layer of grid of bamboo; carbon rods... (some GP).
