Hello all.
Here's an idea I call a "jenga-scraper" or "skymesh".
It's an architectural approach that would have several environmental & social benefits.

I'm not an architect, and I have no intention of commercializing this style myself.
So I invite real architects to consider adopting aspects of this style.
Thanks for your time.
BENEFITS
Energy Efficiency
Airflow improves cooling efficiency.
Sunlight improves lighting efficiency (especially when exterior walls are mirrored).
Aesthetics
Gives public/private outdoor space, for patios/yards/etc. (Improves aesthetics, quality of life, owner investment.)
KNOWN PROBLEMS
Outdoor patios & hallways are not good for people with vertigo.
Only 1/2 as dense as possible.
Earthquake re-enforcements may require unsightly cross-beams/wires.
