Synopsis "Megastructure"

A megastructure is a built structure typically at least 1,000 kilometers in length in other words, at least 1 megameter, hence the name. The definition is often informal and varies from source to source. By extension, some people apply the term to any especially large or tall building.Most megastructure designs could not be constructed with today's level of industrial technology. This makes their design examples of speculative engineering. Those that could be constructed easily qualify as megaprojects.Some sources define a megastructure as an enormous self-supporting artificial construct.Other criteria such as rigidity or contiguousness are sometimes also applied, so large clusters of associated smaller structures may or may not qualify.The products of megascale engineering or astroengineering are megastructures.Megastructures are also an architectural concept popularized in the 1960s where a city could be encased in a single building, or a relatively small number of buildings interconnected. Such arcology concepts are popular in science fiction.
