US president Donald Trump<\/a> has released a video rendering of a Miami skyscraper<\/a> with glass facades that claims it will be the home of the Donald J Trump Presidential Library.<\/p>\n

Trump shared the digital video<\/a> of the skyscraper on his Truth Social account on Monday, with no commentary except for a link to a website hosting the video and some FAQs about the project.<\/p>\n

\"TrumpDonald Trump has released designs for his presidential library<\/p>\n

According to the end title of the video, the skyscraper has been designed by American architecture studio Bermello Ajamil & Partners<\/a>, a division of AEC conglomerate Woolpert, whose website promotes its defence, aviation and data centre divisions, among others.<\/p>\n

The design of the skyscraper appears very contemporary, with glass-curtain-wall facades that taper back as it rises and recesses along two facades that make it appear more slender.<\/p>\n

\"TrumpThe designs depict a Miami skyscraper<\/p>\n

The tower has a massive entry pavilion fronted with gold, featuring a gilt presidential seal relief and a massive gold statue of Trump with his arms raised on top of it.<\/p>\n

Through the glass that fronts the pavilion, the president’s aircraft \u2013 Air Force One, a Boeing 747-200B with bicolour blue-and-white body paint \u2013 appears to fill the lobby, with more military aircraft on the upper lobby levels.<\/p>\n

On top of the skyscraper’s podium, renderings show a landscaped garden set in the highly geometric French style, with palm trees.<\/p>\n

Some clips show a gold-lined elevator running from a lobby mezzanine to ground level, over the wing of the 747.<\/p>\n

The design appears to reference the escalator at Trump Tower in New York, from which Trump descended when he first announced his bid for the presidency in 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The presence of the escalator in some angles and not in others suggests that the video could have been made using AI video production.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the video, a massive auditorium with undulating ceilings looks out through glass, with the Trump statue in this clip suggesting it will be placed directly over the entry pavilion.<\/p>\n

Replicas of Trump’s Oval Office and the proposed ballroom also appear in the video. In one instance, the neo-classical ballroom is attached directly to the highly modern circulation of the hallway.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

The design seems to reference the Trump Tower skyscrapers from the president’s business career, rather than the neoclassical designs his administration has been promoting during his time in office.<\/p>\n

Currently, the country is waiting for the National Capital Planning Commission’s decision on whether to allow the construction of the massive ballroom<\/a> where the East Wing of the White House previously stood.<\/p>\n

\"TrumpAn Air Force One replica is shown in the lobby<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Trump suggested that the proposed ballroom will act as a “shed” to insulate a planned military bunker below<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The design of Trump’s presidential library comes as former president Barack Obama’s presidential centre is nearing completion in Chicago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump’s would be the first presidential library to be delivered in skyscraper form.<\/p>\n
