This is probably the best Zaha Hadid building. The curves are actually functional and the building doesn’t stand out too much from its surrounding context
Will her legacy live on? Or will Zaha Hadid Architects shut down soon. Will someone keep designing awesome buildings like this? I don't want her legacy to die. I love Zaha Hadid!
It is actually pretty ugly to be honest. China passed laws against weird buildings. I am surprised this one got approved unless it was grandfathered in before the law went into effect. www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/03/chinas-weird-architecture/472590/
Nondescript cubes would also be banned under this law. Architecture should follow known standards that have been practiced for decades if not centuries based on golden ratios and proper aspect scales. Examples of fine architecture would be Empire state building or Chrysler building. The Leeza SOHO building in this video looks like someone plopped a giant soda can in the middle of the city. These pseudo futuristic buildings are nothing more than hideous eye sores.
for you. Tastes are a thing, and you *look like* the kind of obnoxious person who believe their taste are the only thing true so yes, i'm glad building like this are still constructed. however, and unlike you, i also respect your opinion. but for me, a world full of cubes or empire state/chrystler, as impressive as they are, would be very boring, quickly. That's why i still love NY, while i really enjoy other skyline around the globe that now how to diversify shapes.
Hey b1m, would you mind doing a video about the apple flagship store in Melbourne? Pretty controversial right now. There was a public debate i can link you to as well
Do videos or a video on cork city in Ireland there are a lot of construction projects planned. For the city and the city boundary is expanding. It is the 2nd largest natural harbour in the world and it is planned to be a counter balance to Dublin as all of Ireland’s investments in the past have gone to Dublin, but are now going into cork. Please do!!!
love the idea, but I don't know how a building wrapped entirely in glass (even insulated glass) can be deemed energy efficient. I hope we see more innovative facades in the future skyscrapers, maybe like Alejandro Aravena's innovation center
Are there any similar channels to this one? I've seen a couple of top 10 channels doing videos about skyscrapers and things like that, but none that come near the quality of The B1M.
It doesn't look like there's much you really can do, based on looking around using Google Map. These are island buildings in a sea of cars. The neighborhood seems designed to discourage walking. It's like Brasilia and Chandigarh only on an even larger scale. Of course until they get their air pollution under control avoiding walking and biking is probably the healthy choice. But it's as sub-urban as the Apple headquarters.
I love how much billshit is in architecture. "this skyscraper is green because it has an atrium that twists to align with the east-west axis letting natural light in." Cool, you are saving energy on lighting. What about the Giant volume of air that you now have to heat/cool in that big ass atrium, very little of it is actually usable area. Very cool looking building, don't get me wrong. But damn, the marketing teams sure earn their pay cheques.
So why didn't they just build over the subway station like all other buildings in major cities? And to keep that atrium climate conditioned, it must require massive amounts of air movement, which takes massive energy no matter how efficient. A smaller atrium would be more efficient overall given all else equal.

I love it, it's like walking behind a magicians curtain to reveal a hidden modern world of metallic artistic twists
Good setting for a James bond movie
Void to a Kill
Ahhhh architecture puns..
Turns out we’re not very good at them!
The B1M Aw don't be hard on yourself, at least you're good at making these videos
Good is an understatement, these videos are bloody amazing
Of all the ZH practice’s designs over the years, this one is the best. Truly impressive. Mature, understated and yet spectacular.
Very good divulgation channel. Congratulations.
And an amazing building too.

what a shame that she has died. Imagine all the beautiful buildings we might have had.
We agree. Thankfully a number of the concepts and projects she was working on are now being delivered by her practice - Leeza SOHO being one of them.
What a beautiful building. Remarkable.
Just been to that unfinished building until the very top (helicopter landing area). Amazing architecture.
such a beautifull building
we really live in Star Trek now

that's like, your opinion man
nice law that destroy creativity. very fun very wow. let's build more boring cubes.
Nondescript cubes would also be banned under this law.

i would like to add that i'm with you on somthing, the exterior of this skyscraper is not the most impressive.
but the Atrium is simply magnificent.
What a beautiful building! I hope to see it in a full length documentary sometime soon.

awesome design !!

Incredible!
WOW! Mind bending as always Zaha.
I truly enjoy the voided you all post, please keep it up you have a dedicated fan
Thank you!! We LOVE each and every one of our viewers! ✊️✊️✊️
A building in my school won a LEED award
Noodle Mango cool! Which building?
Cities of the Future
It’s the Roosevelt Commons building in Lima Peru
Awesome video guys! Keep it up! ;)
love the idea, but I don't know how a building wrapped entirely in glass (even insulated glass) can be deemed energy efficient. I hope we see more innovative facades in the future skyscrapers, maybe like Alejandro Aravena's innovation center
Robert Raschke well, there's the BBVA Tower in Mexico City as well.
I would guess that construction and maintenance cost are very high.
Great video and loved the music!
Thank you! ✊️✊️🙏
Such an exciting project!
2:11 "A sustainable void" sounds like something out of Nightvale
Are there any similar channels to this one? I've seen a couple of top 10 channels doing videos about skyscrapers and things like that, but none that come near the quality of The B1M.
Thanks for the feedback!! ✊️✊️ - no one else can do what we do 😉
Impressive
This is architecture!!!
Agreed. 👌🙏
Can you do a video on modular building architecture?
Yes! Great idea. We do have this simple time lapse in the meantime: ua-cam.com/video/uSSIykvSyPA/v-deo.html
amazing video!!
Thank you!!
A fantastic video of one amazing building. Keep up the good work!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 👍👍
Awesome
Amazing thi$ Tower Very cool..ok...💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🤗
A true marvel of engineering and architecture!
That's a sharp looking design. Somewhat in line with others on the exterior, but a rather unique interior, making for a very interesting look.
Wow.
Stunning Architecture!
Wow!
And that’s just Fred.
nowadays I'm getting found of "B1M", if I'm getting others would too, congratulations! keep doing! #alwayssupportive
Thank you! We LOVE our viewers! ✊️✊️
You neglected to mention one of the building's most graceful features, it's entasis.
I once lived nearby it. It has not been completed, but it's very beautiful!
STUNNING!
Loved this until 2:48. That's not the way a truly urban building interacts with the street.
Fair enough! We kind of see your point. What would you change?
It doesn't look like there's much you really can do, based on looking around using Google Map. These are island buildings in a sea of cars. The neighborhood seems designed to discourage walking. It's like Brasilia and Chandigarh only on an even larger scale.

Now that’s a proper building, take note England
Idk why it reminds of Bank's Hotel from ocean thirteen movie
Yes!
This is pure magnificence !
Being a janitor there would be a pretty sweet job.
Great channel
Thank you! ✊️✊️
Sunsilk company after seeing this: 💹💹💹

She is missed. Great stuff!
magnicifent
The only bldg. where u find the beauty of its architecture within its atrium...
interesting! thanks
Wow

Of course Zaha Hadid
Zaha Hadid, the projects that made an icon: ua-cam.com/video/MrRvX5I8PyY/v-deo.html
Hollywood: OK, we will blow this building in our next disaster film 🤪🤪
How is “toilet flushing” considered to be grey water (!) ? , that’s most certainly black water
Fred> your mcm 😊
Haha, thanks we’ll tell him!! 😉 Can you be man crush Monday on a Wednesday?
The B1M wow u replied 😁 & hey, just keeping a open mind out here, like these wonderful edifices😉 thanks for your videos, a long time stan 😊
Do one on the Scottish government building
*Please
Catch up, America!
china now has 100s of buildings that would make great screen savers and this is one of them
Is this building occupied or does it remain vacant, like so many of China's cities and new buildings?
what genius!! too bad the architect left this earth way too soon.
That beat is so annoying
We love the next super power 🔋💪 China 🇨🇳👏💪😍❤❤💯💯
Building completion video ua-cam.com/video/5Q2rIAAGIFo/v-deo.html
that's a lot of glass for a "sustainable" building...
Am I the only one who thinks Fred Mills is hot?
Probably
world Tallest atrium.
😎🏰💶💷
Like the twin towers in New York;)
this video barely has any good shots from inside the building lmao
Incredible!
Beautiful building!
