@@tomknox7425 I personally don't agree though you may be right, I would naturally miss it if we moved on from the current style I think. Things aren't just the same I think. However, Brutalist architecture from the 60s/70's still looks somewhat depressing to me and hasn't gained any charm so why should I think a glass tower that looks somewhat soulless to me would?
@@PeteS_1994 Yeah good point. But I think people never really fell in love with the brutalist architecture ever :D I agree that these glass towers tend to look soulless but The One World Trade Center for example looks pretty beautiful. But you are right chrysler building, the 40 wall street or empire state building feel alot more charming.
Yes, this is possible. Normally these rights are sold by historical buildings, which could, theoretically, be bigger but won't actually be expanded. By doing so, a smaller building converts its unused air space into money.
@@SagaciousSilence i know it sounds dumb, but it means that neighboring properties cannot reach your hights, so preserves the view of e.g the Chrysler building.
Now this is an informative and subtle way to have sponsorship for a video - a detailed look at a component of the project sponsored by the company responsible. Well done.
I don't think that world-class architecture firms like KPF need to be concerned about advertising on RU-vid, but a little positive PR certainly can't hurt!
Great video as always! I was in NYC last year and this building already looked fantastic and fits right in the urban fabric. It'll definitely be a midtown icon in no time.
It doesn't seem that it blends heritage when authentic even more beautiful buildings that fit nicely in the station's environment were brutally demolished.
Samuel J no the wtc twin towers were iconic these is just a piece of shit of a building stacking on top of each other the nyc skyline collapse when the second tower of the wtc collapsed
Mikoch2 good for you! This is exactly the type of moronic comment in these supposed documentary style videos which is included just because it sounds dramatic but has absolutely no basis in truth. Is this where we have landed in America? Where sounding slick or looking good is more important than getting the facts right. I call it the "stupification" of America.
@@derrickclark5510 tell that to all the New York liberals who have invaded my great state of Florida. They fled an overly taxed, overly regulated, high crime area, moved to paradise and then immediately try to infect our local government so they wind up exactly where they were when they left New York. I live in a heavenly little town called Stuart. I can't get a plastic fucking straw anymore! They're starting to regulate every little thing.
Ever since I moved to America one thing I've Loved here are the super amazing tall buildings and how cool they look. New York is just one of the most beautiful places for buildings that I've ever seen. I live in LA and we have only one group of buildings pretty much. But New York and these types of new buildings are so slender and tall I just so incredible and just watching the progress of how they're built and the information about it that you guys present just makes my day.
Small human-scale buildings are the most attractive, comfortable to live. These new, tall, repetitive, covered with boring glass and grey buildings are in comparison extremely ugly. Thank god that Moscow and other large European cities preserve history and do not have these monstrosities in their city centers.
It looks like a great environment in which to work. I am sure the resident companies are going to pay through the nose for it. Great video once again. These are always so well done.
This was one of the best videos yet. Very educational, great story and visual flow. A beautiful building. The tenants that are there, residential and commercial will enjoy it.
Me too and it's extremely ugly and doesn't match the city's vibe at all. More housing for ultra-elites to show off to their friends. Definitely not what NYC needs right now.
The entire time I knew Thanos, he only ever had one goal, to redesign half of the NYC skyline. If he gets all the air rights.... he can do it with the snap of his fingers, just like that.
I miss the Twin Towers. I remember visiting the observation deck of the South tower in 1995. It was the best place that I ever visited in New York city. Rest in peace to the people who were killed in the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the 6 people that died in the bombing of 1993.
As a commercial RE analyst, the prospect of a $3B development is astounding. This is truly a special project. Brilliant design, integration with public transport, coupled with sustainability of resources. Thousands of professionals went into its planning and development. Would absolutely love to visit someday.
@@danielgorzelniak3209 you must really hate your life and have hidden insecurities. Just by referencing iq exposes a large amount of subconscious baggage in your mind.
@@danielgorzelniak3209 Keep in mind those things will eat you inside out. But I think you probably deserve it if this is how you are in a global economy.
This is one of my favorite channels ever, I always look forward to your videos. And seriously, if cities wanna build modern buildings then do it right like in this case *looks at Brazilian cities*
I miss the original Twin Towers. I remember visiting the observation deck on the roof of the South Tower. Rest in peace to all of the people who died in the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the bombing of 1993.
@@Hotters9060 Amen! I used to work at 2 WTC -70th floor...our offices moved out in 1985 but i got to work 10 yrs in a place that few have ... Yes, Never Forget!
Beautiful building. I loved the core system idea. I also like how they incorporated the nyc transit into their building. I love the channel great history and great video.
As always, superb video and first class narration. New York may not have the tallest towers in the world, but New York is the city of skyscrapers par excellence. One Vanderbilt reminds me a bit of One Bryant Park or Bank of America Tower and I much prefer it to the super skinny towers of Billionaires' Row.
Vieux Bal many cities in china start to beat Neat New York, but frl New York is a forest of skycrapers... 100 years of construction. even that city got 2 building attacked and destroyed by bad people
@@generalgrievous3066 sad but true. You can also add the Singer Building which was torn down in 1968. It was the tallest building in the world from 1908 to 1909. When it was torn down, it became the tallest building ever to be demolished on purpose. What a shame.
Fantastic video. Nobody does it better. Great narration. I love your content and always look forward to seeing your new videos. Clear and concise with just the right amount of information .
A B1M upload? Yes! About skyscrapers? YES! In a place where there are other reasons to go than "just" a couple of fine skyscraper? YEAH!!! Gotta love today^^
That mobile form system is amazing! Not having to strip and re-form every pour.... I am glad the building's aesthetic is NOT just another giant glass tower
Nice to see PERI featured in your videos! I once met one of the CEOs of PERI in his office and on my way to high school I always went past their main campus.
I LOVE THE B1M i hope they keep making videos . the world keeps growing so i know they will make more video . i hope to visit newyork soon again . i love new york im from palm spring way way diferent . i cant even imagine how it be to live in such a beautiful place newyork is full of beautiful and amazing people . i had nothing but great moment when i was in new york .
I actually really like the styling of this skyscraper, the steps and angles used along with the terracotta elements really make it unique. I think it fits well, a good mix of modern and early design
Very informative video -- NYC had a prolonged period where not much changed in the skyline, but the buildings going up and recently completed in the midtown region have hugely changed the look of the city. Looking south from Central Park it's impossible to miss these new additions.
Incredible building. I wasn't too fond of it when I first saw renders, but seeing it in real life nearly complete, I think it fits right in. It's very beautiful, and they built it so fast!
Carbohydration Walrus Cuttlefish true, but if there’s anywhere in the US with a high population density it’s New York. I say it’s about time NY gets a super tall tower. 😎😎
@@stirhaven1981 And zoning ordinances limit building heights, so a megascraper is unlikely to be constructed in most large United States cities. Plus the 9\11 attacks and the 2008 recession put dampers on future building projects above 400m.
@@theutopianoutopioan464 I was thinking practicality of mega large buildings, but wasn't thinking of the legal implications. Thanks for the information tho!
When the twin towers were built between the 1960's and the 1970's, they did add a concrete core. Steel doesn't do very well in fire and maybe that is why the twin towers collapsed on 9/11. But the twin towers were designed to withstand an impact of a Boeing 707 aircraft traveling 400 mph. The airplanes that hit the twin towers on 9/11 were 767s.
Wow, this water recycling feature - collecting outside hydration, off the windows - process & deliver internally . . . is truly remarkable, unique ! 😎🇺🇸
The real beauty of Nyc is the character and charm this city has the amazing arcitecture despite those gorgeous tall bldgs it still has an open feel to it 🌹my fav city ❤️
I have a view of midtown from my apartment ands by far my favorite modern sky scraper. It’s top first in with the skyline so well, looking sleek and modern while not sticking out like a sore thumb.
I love your channel. Thanks for all the good work! Can I suggest a video? Madrid Spain finally approved the biggest urban project of Europe: Madrid Nuevo Norte. I would love your take on it!
