building evacuation

I found very interesting the description posted at 
http://www.escaperes
cue.com/work 

I don't know if we have strong enough materials to use this
for the 
super-tall buildings, but this looks pretty workable for
most skyscrapers. 

I'm wondering about more conventional fire escapes, on
opposite sides or 
corners of the building, shielded from the building itself
to give protection to 
users from flames and with a 2-way shielded platform for
egress at each floor.  
The shielding could be very light weight, the stairways
might be too much 
weight for some of the buildings, but this might be a remedy
in some instances.
