one thing every designer and planner usually forget is that the design shouldn't go against human nature. no matter how perfectly a city or a district is designed, people will always make a way to change the built environment to suit their needs
Those "Snakes" are basically meteors on the night sky being portraited as snakes since snakes do have quick reflexes and can be hard to notice when walking in the forest. So the conclusion is that these portraits are trying to warn us what happend the last time a meteor hit earth aka Ragnarök. Every culture in the world have the same story just different gods and approaches on the story they do however all lead to a big cataclysmic event. After these events you always have survivors and what do survivors do? they talk about the events that happend and also spreading knowledge for generations to come. If you wonder how the night sky actually looks like read more about light pollution, we barely see anything today due to it. our ancestors saw the night sky as it was full of life and mystery.
You mention we don't know how to make the same wood for the staves, but they're made of Ore-Pine; basically pine trees that have grown high up in the mountains for decades, with massive cores of heartwood taking up the majority of the internal tree mass. Cutting the branches led resins to draw up throughout the tree, making it resistant to rot. Also the earliest proto-stave churches were built during the viking age, but they hadn't bothered placing them on sills on top of a stone foundation, so those all rotted away with the long halls.
I grew up in berlin and got lucky one day waiting in line there. Theres literally some old legend of a woman there. Apparently she had ties to some rocker turned terrorist that died soon after. Crazy
I was just in Amsterdam for kings day and stayed in a hotel past this place on the rail. I always thought it looked cool and there was so much greenery and open spaces. It’s beautiful, from my outside perspective at least. I think in the current housing crisis a lot can be said for the concept. I know it sounds strange, but looking at it made me hopeful.
Show it to the ones trying to build a linear city in the middle of the desert. I remember studying this and other communal buildings like this in university. All was done to show what a residential building shouldn't be like
The Netherlands has a satanic government. People in don't want these districts in their neighborhood. But the government keeps pushing for facilitating human trafficking. They say that they do that to keep the women safe. But it has been proven that the women are still being trafficked. Only now, the government is also making profit by collecting taxes.
"A building few enter but many try" - Well, there are literally thousands of people inside at any point over the entire weekend. The whole thing about how difficult it is to get in is ridiculously overblown. Good video otherwise. I learned a lot.
I live in Barcelona. It is a wonderful city. No city is perfect. But it is superb for walking and bicycles. And it is getting better. I see changes all the time to accommodate more bicycles.
Wow. It's almost like this type of social planning and urban development doesn't work in a non homogeneous low trust society. What is the solution for this?
The use of AI to change (or maybe you did it completely from the beginning) to VO to glitching out and transitioning the sales pitch into the dystopian parts was a great touch.
It's a terrible plan, but not an evil one. Corbusier believed in the city as a machine, it had to be optimized and old dirty streets were inefficient. He grew up in an age before modernism, and there weren't any projects like this (or Bijlmer) that proved his ideas wrong yet. The reinforced concrete seemed a magical material back then, finally allowing great spans in architecture, allowing light in and giving used free use of the floor plan. That light and greenery (lifting the building up, to give green space back to the city) are the core believes of his architecture and urbanism. That measurement system was based on the human body, because he wanted to make spaces optimized for the human body to use. He just took it way too far in this plan (and most of his urban schemes), as he later realized. His last works are more tactile, softer and more suited for the human soul. You can see his last buildings as his critique on his earlier works. He was not evil (although he did lean towards authoritarian regimes, but more because he could get his ideas built there), he just had misinformed dreams and learned later in life, as all of society did, that the building as a machine is not always ideal for the human soul.
Parks in cities should be enclosed by tall buildings to build a sense of security, not be part of a larger connected system. The buildings add a sense of security.
I read somewhere that whole of Milan (+ Northern Italy) has NO sewage system at all. All shitwater goes directly into the PO! Sincerely hope that is not so. 🤔🤔🤔
Hands down one of the best videos i have watched on youtube ever! And i’m talking about the direction, narration, artwork, progression of the video, music, script narration, everything! Great work man! I have been to Berghain but couldn’t enter. But i’m sure i’ll go inside one day, and that too very soon!
