China Unveils its Spectacular $4.8 Billion "Horizontal Skyscraper" Marvel

Welcome to our channel! In this video, we delve into the often overlooked significance of architecture and its integral role in human history. From ancient structures like the Pyramids of Giza to modern marvels such as the Washington Monument and skyscrapers worldwide, architecture reflects our progress and innovation as a species.
In this exploration, we focus on two groundbreaking horizontal skyscrapers, Raffle City Chongqing and the Kingdom Centre, both designed by visionary architect Moshe Safdie. Join us as we uncover the remarkable features and breathtaking experiences these architectural wonders offer.
Located in Chongqing, China, Raffle City Chongqing is an impressive complex currently under construction. Composed of eight skyscrapers spanning an astounding 1.12 million square meters, this complex will house businesses, homes, and entertainment areas. Its main attraction, "The Crystal," is a mind-boggling horizontal building that stretches 984 feet in length and acts as a sky bridge connecting various parts of the complex. We explore the engineering feat behind its construction and the awe-inspiring attractions it houses, including a National Geographic exhibit, futuristic optical illusion displays, and an observation deck offering panoramic views of the city.
Next, we venture to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where the Kingdom Centre stands tall as one of the city's most opulent destinations. Designed by Moshe Safdie, this 992-foot skyscraper houses a shopping mall, luxury offices, and a Four Seasons hotel. The sky bridge atop a parabolic arch is the centerpiece, providing unobstructed views of Riyadh and offering a unique architectural experience.
We also delve into Safdie's other notable projects, including the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, and explore his signature style characterized by steel, glass, curved architecture, and open green spaces.
