Yeah we all know it's never gonna be built lol
-
How about completing the Jeddah tower first before attempting a ridiculous 2 km skyscraper?
-
The fact that they managed to put an engineer and an architect in the same room without any arguing its also really impressive 😂
-
Can't believe I have to say it but... 133m by 133m is not 133 square meters.
Probably should fix that. -
"The Vertical Line"
Looking forward to seeing how this one gets scaled back -
Just from the discussion itself and the proposed solutions it is pretty clear that this project is not an answer to any need (like, putting more office space into a crammed location), but rather just the simple desire to build a building of 2km, just "because".
-
this was the politest and longest way to say "never" I've ever seen
-
You know your project is screwed when people trying to wrap their heads around have to say “well if we disregard the laws of physics…..” 😂
-
Big fan of architect Jack Harlow
-
500 floors, 500 cable cars, and no stairs or elevators. Emergency escape will be ziplining down the cable, or a parachute. xD
-
Great video! This should be a series. A series with the same guys discussing different projects.
Big love from Sweden. -
I love how he tries to zoom in on the printed picture at 2:09 :D
-
Classic engineer: “I can only really draw squares” … proceeds to draw a wonky parallelogram!
-
Why not a 2 km. high spiral staircase ? And a slide to go down. That'll keep You fit.
-
We need more of these expert discussions Fred... this was really fascinating to hear experts exchange ideas. Very insightful stuff
-
i was watching one of your videos last week and got thinking that engineering explainers like this would be a great addition to the channel. hope you do more of them!
-
Saudi Arabia and UAE seem like the kind of places where ambitious architects can just pitch their crazy projects to the rulers, and they don't have to go through any committees or bureaucracy to get started. Projects don't have to make sense or be economical, they just have to look cool and bring prestige to the country.
-
I find this quite ridiculous at this point.
-
I just wanna thank everyone in making this video for using the SI units
