No architecture-specific rules, just don't be a jerk, your normal stuff.

I can't fathom how much money it would actually cost to build the original structure as envisioned.

200 m wide by 500 m tall, 105 miles long with 300+ mph high speed rail underground.

It's a cool idea, but completely mad to implement such a megastructure with our current technology.

Heads up: this guy did the math. It’s really worth the watch.
