What's the average lifespan of the modern skyscrapers?

12:31 I would ditch such a commodity. Adapt or die !!!

Anything beyond the 1 km high building, is fantasy and an abuse on Planet Earth, not worthen to build !!!

Man, you should see some of those megaprojects in Saudi Arabia...

I mean, aim for the stars and all that.

@@petitewhitegirl hence the word, "fiction" ^up there

ORE WA GUNDAM DA!

They wanted something Godzilla and the other monsters could not destroy.

Actually, many medieval churches on a regular basis were built for around hundred of years from the start by many generations of workers. So nothing impressive about it.

A cage is still a cage, no matter how pretty. This is a Megablock (Dredd) but pretty.

i doubt it would work. There are several skyscrapers in my city (Vancouver) that have attempted to grow large vegetation along the outside curtain of the building and it hasn't worked. There is one infamous building here that has a tree on the top that has died and been replaced twice in the past 30 years, and costs an average of $10 thousand a year to keep it alive. Another building wanted bushes to envelope the building but not a single one of them took root. It has been 10 years now and none of them have grown. The bushes don't like the wind and harsh conditions. And then there is the weight of the soil to consider. That many trees would be HEAVY!!!

I love the idea, but when you have just 50 people hiking there a day, it will not stay green but get run down

Creativity? Of drawing? Kids 7-10y draw/make bigger houses putting lego house next to a globe

@@ilicdjo agree, whole video is about building castles on clouds

@@SergeiSugaroverdoseShuykov just a bullcrap for average Joe Shmoe and YTmonetization

@@SergeiSugaroverdoseShuykov You Tube in a nutshell

How many people would die trying to make those structures?...Doesn't seem worth the cost of life.

I actually feel like many of these are possible. Japan is running out of room despite its population declining.

no shit

so stupid

Fun fact: tokyo has more population than Canada and nearly 1 thousand times more population than Greenland. Size of tokyo is 1000 sq^km Size of Greenland 2400000sq^km Size of Canada 10000000sq^km

well it is a small place

Greenland has onlý around 50 Thousand people. So not that many people.

@@bananenlimonade4541 dude. 56k people in greenland

​@@bananenlimonade4541 in a single building bro

army of 10,000 AI robots like star trek's Data could build these towers in years.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's operational space elevator within 2075 so not very far in the future these visions will be feasible eventually

It doesn't need to be shorter to exsist. Building it at the exact height, which is 1000 m is actually possible as there are skyscrapers in construction which their height is similar as the Sky City such as the Jeddah Tower in Saufi Arabia.

@@vinaashvicky145 Yes and no. Height is not in fact everything. The point of building like the Sky Tower is to get as much additional floor space as possible. Jeddah Tower and the Berj Khalifa are both compromise designs where it's more important that they be tall for the sake of being tall. They're prestige buildings above all else. Heck, Jeddah Tower's last inhabited floor is at 2/3rds of the building's height, same for the Berj. The rest is an architectural spire for the sake of breaching the 1000 meter mark. This vastly simplifies a lot of the challenges that came with building these mega tall buildings. They're very thin so that they're under less wind stress, and heavily tapered to reduce the static load on the lower floors and foundation, and they also have to accommodate less utility traffic because there's just not all that much floor space above around 300 meters. But it also means that there's a serious point of diminishing returns in terms of the floor space you gain for each additional level after that point. For instance - Berj Khalifa - 3.3 million square feet of floor space Jeddah Tower - 2.6 million square feet of floor space . . . Empire State Building - 2.7 million square feet of floor space Manhattan's Grandpa aint fairing too bad against those young whipersnappers in terms of utility. Sky city, as proposed, would have been a whopping 86 million square feet of floor space because it wasn't just tall, it was broad, and tapered very little between the ground and its highest floors.

We may see the Tokyo Tower of Babel but very very far in the future.

Certainly some projects that you see here, seem to come out of a Futuristic Dystopia. It's a bit scary its architecture..

They were like Arabs today, I wish the future megastructures in Arab countries don't face similar failure

​@@_martian101 it will

@@Mahlak_Mriuani_Anatman hope not

You forget most people in Warhammer make the conditions of poor in Victorian england look comfortable

Forget the hive city, trantor itself is a planet sized city that host 40 billion people

@@_martian101 That sounds like questionable lore at best. The moon would house 230 billion people if it had the population density of the Tokyo area. The avg. suburban population density would put the moon at around 75 Billion inhabitants.

@@sanji2158 maybe, but we only knows about the population, not the population density, you sure every building in trantor is inhabited by human?

Almost😭

Humanity would never be able to build these buildings even in million years, but robots however, they could build it in months if not shorter, we are not the future or our planet, our robot does

It's scary. I don't want to live like that.

not really. So many factors to consider in terms of mobility of pipes and wallshifts due to water levels. Not to mention what saltwater does to materials.
