I love your work and realize you need to earn money to produce such high quality content, but the more I learn about masterworks the more it starts to smell bad. If it's the best option for you to continue your work so be it, but if you have other options for revenue I'd suggest looking into them. Either way thank you so much for the content you make, I can't imagine the work and effort that goes into these videos but I'm sure it's substantial.
And that's the main reason that many Japanese homes are so cold in the winter, because they are mostly made of woods to handle lateral loads out of the fixed budget and insulation only came second. You may have noticed that many homes (including anime ones) have kotatsu, a heated wooden table with heavy blanket, in their rooms. Because otherwise it would be freezing cold, often a single digit degrees Celcius...
eventhough tokyo is the most populated city in the world and never fail to amaze me how organize everything are, from houses to roads and train line. it is majestic and beautiful.
Thank you, but the streets are often not organized in Tokyo, I would say... No set-back rules, sidewalk mandates, or even size, shape, direction requirements for roads...
Tokyo isn't particulary well organized but for a city (rather a collection of cities) that big, it isn't that bad. If you want a well organized Japanese city you should go to Nagoya, it doesn't even look as the 3rd largest metropolitan area, after of course Tokyo (Kanto) and Kyoto/Osaka (Kansai).
It is truly amazing how a city that is so big, can be so efficient. When you look at other cities with Urban sprawl that have countless issues, it really makes you understand how smartly built Tokyo is. Incredible place. Love all the content!
Another thing: Japan already has a supertall skyscraper, just not in Tokyo. It's Abeno Harukas in Osaka, which is exactly 300m tall. Yokohama Landmark tower comes close, at 296 meters, and it's in Yokohama, a suburb/satellite city of Tokyo.
I was in Toyko in September. The views of an endless city out to the horizon is truly like something out of Blade Runner. Even more so when super typhoon Nanmadol blew through with the rainy weather and the lit up misty skies. My hotel room on the 20th floor of the Grand Hayatt was solid, no indication of building sway.
Tokyo is not only visibly developed above ground, but also underground. Plans to bring the current elevated expressways underground are also being initiated. Tokyo is more multi-layered than meets the eye.
I've seen this building in late December last year! This building is just simply huge on the Tokyo skyline, even from where i was staying during my vacation (Kawasaki), it was still a massive tower that looked menacing next to the Tokyo Tower 0_0
I'm so glad I live in Japan. Everything is just so orderly here, like a bubble of peace in a world collapsing in chaos. Wife and I moved here more than a decade ago and as we see the news from other countries (and of back home) I feel like we made one of the best decisions of our lives to be here.
Unfortunately Japan is being gradually destroyed by western liberal fundamentalist ideology being forced down it's throat. In a few decades it may become just like downtown portland zombie wasteland.
I've been in Tokyo once - I took the bullet train from Kyoto to Tokyo - landed at central train station. The station seemed like miles of underground walking on multiple levels. It was amazing to say the least.
Of course, not all Japanese live in Tokyo, and there are probably some Japanese who have never been to Tokyo in their lifetimes. I live in the southern part of Japan, far from Tokyo, and Tokyo feels like a foreign country to me. The night view of Tokyo from the window of the large bathroom at the top of the hotel where I stayed was fantastic. And, surprisingly, I found the air in Tokyo to be very clean. I remember the sky was very blue.
Studying resonance and harmonics was the most fascinating subject for me from the suspension in bridges and the 660 ton steel ball in the Taipei skyscraper
Thanks for referring to the earthquake in Turkey/Syria. It's good to draw attention to humanitarian efforts, I wish more UA-camrs would include a small message like this.
A reason why I love Japan is that the country itself adapts to its environment. They're always 10 steps ahead, from technology to safety against earthquakes.
It's very bold to build a super tall in Tokyo and make it a building to escape to, not from. Great video - thanks for including the link for Turkey & Syria emergency relief.
Japan is an example to the world in many aspects, engineering is very high in that (large) list. Honestly compared to many parts of the world, sometimes it's hard to believe it's even part of our current timeline.
I'm headed to Tokyo in two weeks. So hyped! In 2019 I was on the Tokyo Tower observation deck and saw a large clearing and some demolition and thought, "what's going on down there?" Now I know!
Always love your videos, your narration and videos consistently remind me of early to mid 2000s Discovery Channel or History Channel when they'd have shows like Modern Marvels, etc. Keep up the great work.
Really appreciate that the B1M team decides to cover on the Azabudai Hills project by Mori Building, covering the engineering aspects of the project, on how it was designed to withstand earthquake. B1M's videos in the past not only features the engineering aspect of projects, but also the social and environmental aspects of it, which I think also fascinates me for all the projects that Mori Building has build. Mori Building pioneered the redevelopment in Tokyo since the 1970s, with renowned projects including ARK Hills, Toranomon Hills, Roppongi Hills, where they successfully persuaded households to support these massive redevelopment projects by visiting each house and shops to convince them the advantages of the redevelopment. Also, Mori Building envisioned that these mixed-use redevelopments would allow its tenants to work and live in the same area, reducing the need for commuting and relieve the load on public transport. Of course, not to mention that they tear down the shorter and densely-packed buildings to build skyscrapers, providing a larger green public space. Hope there could also be a video by B1M about these aspects of Mori Building's redevelopment. 😉
It's called Azabudai Hills. I will be renting here when it's complete. My previous apartments were all by the same developer so I have no doubt they will do a great job with the interior. The perks of living in a higher-end apartment like this is they have all the amenities so I don't have to pay separate for a gym which can cost $200 a month, and things like Karaoke rooms, concierge to collect your packages when you're out, ease of access to shops and restaurants for late night munching, golf simulators and many more. Did I mention a pool? Japanese apartments, even high-end ones almost never have pools. This is one of the few ones.
As a 25 year resident of Tokyo I can definitely say that the construction of buildings here are amazing. I was working during the 2011 disaster and had to walk roughly 20 KMs just to get to my friend's apartment. Along the way there weren't that many buildings destroyed. Mostly chaos from public transportation being cut from the electricity. Anyway the building I was in shook hard, it was horrendous to witness. Outside as time went by and the aftershocks kicked in was another amazing spectacular scene. All buildings around were swaying and groaning, a sound which I will never forget ❗ Yet, they didn't fall down ❗❗ Mind you, we only had a 7-ish magnitude, compared to what they had up North must have been so much more scary. Love your channel.... cheers to you 🤟🎶
Japan is really serious in terms of segregation and recycling as they have very little natural resources so they recycle as much as they can and this allows them to have their "own" resources. For example if you want to demolish old house to build a new one all materials that can be recycled from the old house needs to be recycled. Recycling is also big part in everyday life of people there, for example if you bought launch in the plastic box you need to wash it, dry it and then you can throw it to the correct garbage can otherwise your trash won't be picked up as garbage bags are transparent so during the pickup they are checked if trash in them are correctly sorted, if not you will get a note that you need to segregate trash again correctly before they can be picked up.
@@dota2tournamentss I can assure you Japanese people don't really care about recycling. You can tell by how much single-use plastic the manufacturers use in their products.
I know, makes me very sad. I remember when Tokyo Tower stood way above any other structure in the city--you could see it from anywhere from miles away. Sadly the same is about to happen to the Chrysler Building in New York. Perhaps this city's most beloved skyscraper, it may soon be dwarfed by the "Commodore Tower" that will be directly across Lexington Avenue.
It seems Tokyo tower is now part of Tokyo's past, it looks better from Roppongi hills, Skytree is the telecommunications center and the new skyscraper will offer better views (not the least that you can see the tower up close).
Earthquakes is major reason, but we must not forget that Haneda Airport is nearby. The project area has 220m height limit, but Tokyo Tower, witch has 333m by the area, makes an exception for same height. Azabudai Hills will be the tallest building only for 2027, when the "Tokyo torch" will be built on the area with no height limit.
Amazing work B1M , its incredible how the civil magistracy in Japan are working hard for the prosperity of the nation...Ordering 35 million people is no joke..In Kenya, most leaders are after their own interests.
Direct Relief is working to provide aid to those affected by the disaster in Turkey and Syria. You can donate any amount here - www.directrelief.org/emergency/turkey-syria-earthquake/
Here in the states, I THINK by the San Andreas Fault, they LITERALLY put some of the skyscrapers on hug ball bearing modules. The steel balls were about 3 meters wide!
I hope for a video analyzing the reasons why one region in Turkey had no deaths and building collapses while the neighboring regions had devastating collapses and 30 000+ deaths.
Japan and Turkiye are polar opposites. Japan made sure building regulations are enforced to ensure it can withstand powerful earthquakes. While Turkiye is marred by corruption that's why their buildings are not built within standards.
They're starting to build skyscrapers over 300 meters high, though. And not just in terms of earthquakes. Haneda Airport is nearby, so it's regulated by the Civil Aeronautics Law. Using earthquake-resistant and seismic isolation technologies, it is possible to build a 1,000-meter building if one is so inclined. However, Japanese people value practicality in accordance with the times more than appearance, so it is more cost-effective to build several 100- or 200-meter buildings. If Japan's building codes were more relaxed and unaffected by earthquakes, construction costs would be about half of what they are today, so it really could have been a futuristic city like Neo-Tokyo in "Akira!
glass buildings might have been interestign as one offs, but buildinging them on nearly every city on the planet exemplifies their already cold and harsh and bland exterior, there is very little chance to make a glass skyscraper look unique, even when you do, it still retains that same cold feel.
Tōkyō is a city I felt very safe in, knowing that their buildings were built to the strict standards that are to be expected by Japanese designers and construction workers. A minor quake shook a building we was in and the building was isolated from the ground, the motion the building experienced gave me motion sickness, and there was no damage to the structure. Life continued normally for the locals, just the foreigners who were left a little uneasy.
@@TheTinKunt Basically, older buildings are also obligated to be earthquake proofed. There is no need to rebuild an old building, just to renovate it for earthquake resistance. Some buildings are made so that a part of the building can be broken, and are given so as not to cause a major collapse.
a building can stay standing, but that doesn't mean parts of it won't fall off. Decor, panels, glass, etc, can all get shaken off & fall on people, so it's best to avoid going outside during a quake.
@@max3446 What I meant was, Tokyo’s the largest City in the world, but when compared up against other global cities it doesn’t have the same amount of skyscrapers or tall buildings. This isn’t inherently a bad thing though! Tokyo is a beautiful City - much more so than other cities with more talls
@@GeekyMedia because Tokyo has multiple downtown areas. If Tokyo was more like New York where almost every office wants to be in Manhattan then they'd end up building way higher. About at third of the stations around the Yamanote line are major downtown areas that spread out the office space demand.
There might be some context missing with the Earthquakes. All mentioned Quakes in the Clips either occured far away of Tokyo or in quite big depth. Meaning that only the 9.1 in 2011 had heavily damaging Intensities in the Town (presumably VII, with 8 Deaths). Theoretically most Places in the World have thousands of Quakes per year. Even Germany. It should have been mentioned what kind of Quakes, either above a certain Magnitude or felt ones. Actually the Area with most Strong (M6+) Quakes is spanning from Papua New Guinea to the Kermadec Islands (New Zealand). As mentioned the Magnitude of an Earthquake doesn't tell much about thr danger from it. The shallower the Quake to the Surface, the higher its Intensity will be. A deep M6 Quake in Greater Tokyo (usually around 100km) only causes minor damage, no structural damage, not only because of the great architecture but also because its Intensity of VI. If its shallow, like in Osaka in 2018, it may be much more damaging. Also it sounds a bit weird when saying the Quake and Tsunami in 2011 destroyed Thousands of Buildings when the actual Number is given as over 400,000 (completely and partly destroyed).
4:12 That's a major mistake on the name, "Azabudai" shouldn't be pronounced with /di/ sound, as "Dai" means terrace in Japanese and literally is meaning the terrace for Azabu district and it's pronounced as /dai/ as how it looked like.
As a resident of Tokyo it's great to see B1M videos about here. I actually can see this tower being built from my home near Chiyoda, it's that tall. I can see Tokyo tower too.
Hiya B1M, big fan of your channel love your videos I know I don't comment on them but I always like them, love the video Japan is really stepping up it's came looks amazing the new tower, doesn't always have to be the tallest to be beautiful. Could you do a video on Sears Tower in the future it's one of my favorites in the world amazing history behind it. Keep up the great work.
love your videos, mate. i also appreciate the way in which you disburse info -- aka -- clever move on the "masterworks" intro. advertisement can be a tad annoying, particularly with subjects such the ones you share.; one cannot lose focus. again, kudos to you. a job well done. amazing material, always. thanks for sharing! 😉
Tokyo Torch tower over 300m is now under construction at Otemachi near Tokyo station. It isn't so tall as skyscrapers in Dubai or China or US, but huge obserbation park which would be located in the very hiqh floor of the building and long long stairs and slopes around the building might be pretty interesting. Also,The Dochester hotel will open in the building. That construction would be completed in 2027.
Can Bifacial panels be used on the whole exterior since they are semi transparent? I think that would make even more sense in hotter places. There are buildings (I've seen one in Germany) that are net positive through solar and still maintain very good quality of life for residents
"... along with two other buildings called the East and West Towers; seriously work on the naming." He does realize the kanji for Tokyo literally mean East Capitol? This fits the mold.

a building can stay standing, but that doesn't mean parts of it won't fall off. Decor, panels, glass, etc, can all get shaken off & fall on people, so it's best to avoid going outside during a quake.
You’d think there’d be more skyscrapers of this height in somewhere like Tokyo
It's packed
I mean it has a ridiculous amount of really tall skyscrapers - this one just happens to be really really tall.
@@max3446 What I meant was, Tokyo’s the largest City in the world, but when compared up against other global cities it doesn’t have the same amount of skyscrapers or tall buildings. This isn’t inherently a bad thing though! Tokyo is a beautiful City - much more so than other cities with more talls
@@GeekyMedia because Tokyo has multiple downtown areas. If Tokyo was more like New York where almost every office wants to be in Manhattan then they'd end up building way higher. About at third of the stations around the Yamanote line are major downtown areas that spread out the office space demand.
@@j134679 that makes a lot of sense! thanks
How does power generation in the basement resist flooding and other effects from a natural disaster?
There might be some context missing with the Earthquakes. All mentioned Quakes in the Clips either occured far away of Tokyo or in quite big depth. Meaning that only the 9.1 in 2011 had heavily damaging Intensities in the Town (presumably VII, with 8 Deaths).
Theoretically most Places in the World have thousands of Quakes per year. Even Germany. It should have been mentioned what kind of Quakes, either above a certain Magnitude or felt ones. Actually the Area with most Strong (M6+) Quakes is spanning from Papua New Guinea to the Kermadec Islands (New Zealand).
As mentioned the Magnitude of an Earthquake doesn't tell much about thr danger from it. The shallower the Quake to the Surface, the higher its Intensity will be. A deep M6 Quake in Greater Tokyo (usually around 100km) only causes minor damage, no structural damage, not only because of the great architecture but also because its Intensity of VI. If its shallow, like in Osaka in 2018, it may be much more damaging.
Also it sounds a bit weird when saying the Quake and Tsunami in 2011 destroyed Thousands of Buildings when the actual Number is given as over 400,000 (completely and partly destroyed).
とにかく Buildingの建設ラッシュは留まるところを知らない…Tokyoはまだまだ変わり続けるね 👍
4:12 That's a major mistake on the name, "Azabudai" shouldn't be pronounced with /di/ sound, as "Dai" means terrace in Japanese and literally is meaning the terrace for Azabu district and it's pronounced as /dai/ as how it looked like.
As a resident of Tokyo it's great to see B1M videos about here.
I actually can see this tower being built from my home near Chiyoda, it's that tall. I can see Tokyo tower too.
the smoothest masterwork transition so far
Hiya B1M, big fan of your channel love your videos I know I don't comment on them but I always like them, love the video Japan is really stepping up it's came looks amazing the new tower, doesn't always have to be the tallest to be beautiful.
Could you do a video on Sears Tower in the future it's one of my favorites in the world amazing history behind it.
Keep up the great work.
Great video as always. Any plans to do a video about Warsaw?
Masterworks isn't a con per se but it isn't really a good investment vehicle. There is a good video by The Plain Bagel channel about it.
The ending got me. Proper Construction Matters. It can cost lives. Thank you B1M
I wish B1M would do a video on all the new start ups looking to build Next Gen power stations. 🧐
Is it all a story of Phantoms or not ?!
Amazing Tokyo has more people than Canada 🇨🇦
Great video 👍
Can you guys make a video about OKADA Manila?!. #please
Once again great work, well done
Online store needs a Tokyo and Melbourne graphics
I hope you make a video about how buildings or structures should be built to withstand earthquakes.
love your videos, mate. i also appreciate the way in which you disburse info -- aka -- clever move on the "masterworks" intro. advertisement can be a tad annoying, particularly with subjects such the ones you share.; one cannot lose focus. again, kudos to you. a job well done. amazing material, always. thanks for sharing! 😉
Thanks for the information.
Thank You🤝❤
Great video, as usual. If you don't mind, can I suggest reading a book called 'The Moral Case For Fossil Fuels'
when you said ''work on the naming'' around 4:20, think of how creative the names of Kyoto and Tokyo are :D
The fact that you pulled and Office Space clip gives you cred for life. 👍🏼
4:21: Why not call them the Miyamoto and Ittosai towers, and the main one the Ieyasu Tower?
It's truly an architecturally stunning project!! Azabudai Hillsis very luxury and beautiful. Thank you for your sharing
It’s surprising they do not already have one as advanced as they are, even Chicago a city almost 15times smaller has a super tall
I haven’t been to Tokyo in over ten years, but I still dream of the skyline often.
Tokyo Torch tower over 300m is now under construction at Otemachi near Tokyo station. It isn't so tall as skyscrapers in Dubai or China or US, but huge obserbation park which would be located in the very hiqh floor of the building and long long stairs and slopes around the building might be pretty interesting. Also,The Dochester hotel will open in the building. That construction would be completed in 2027.
390m
Yes! Exactly.
Can Bifacial panels be used on the whole exterior since they are semi transparent? I think that would make even more sense in hotter places. There are buildings (I've seen one in Germany) that are net positive through solar and still maintain very good quality of life for residents
"... along with two other buildings called the East and West Towers; seriously work on the naming." He does realize the kanji for Tokyo literally mean East Capitol? This fits the mold.
Beautiful😍✨❤ land, beautiful city!
People of both the North Island and South Island of New Zealand approve of the naming.
Nobody's moving to California anymore, but those going to Seattle need to use more than a little nail to hold Grandma's picture up.
