Japan always made it another level.
Never nuke a country thrice
There’s a reason for traditional regional architecture ...
All traditions have a reason
@Mister Meeseeks they all gave reasons we just don’t know all of them
@mr bambam more like got raided lmao
@mr bambam Tbf America use to have traditional colonial style buildings in the east coast which are some of the oldest structures in the country but then abandoned it to make crappy wooden hollow houses that get ruined with the smallest gust of wind.
@@scarletcrusade77 lol colonial structures weren’t inherent to America. It was European architecture.
Sky tree is absolutely amazing. The elevator is quick and when I was up on the viewing deck it was crazy.
It was so fast and smooth that the only thing that let me know we were going up was my ears popping. And I think them telling us.
a small trivial additiom but i loved the glass floor lmao
@@fangabxyfangabxy8563 I was looking at the screen and I was like wowwww so quick
@@user-rf9pb8dv3z ahhh I know. I remember standing on it and some school kids started jumping on it
Just a bit expansive on the ticket to the observation deck
I admire japan, it's one of the most natural disasters prone countries in the world from tsunami, earthquake but they emerge as one of the most advanced, richest countries in the world despite all of the obstacles.
Imagine How much maths has been done to build this thing
ikr
Its automated
Automation it's an entire mathematical beast on its own
Not more than the maths to land a rocket vertically.
yeah right! like 12 or 13 maths
Engineering in Japan is really at another level
well it has to, otherwise there wouldn't be Japan
Also china
Well yea china take ideas from other people not themselves, all the chinese do is "work hard"
Yeah chinese work hard to copy technology of other nations like Japan who work hard to develop something new..🤣🤣 that's the diffrence between china and Japan
below_bestfighter2 plays nah the Chinese are not innovative. Just a lot of people in the labour force. Remember, Japan has the largest number of Nobel laureates in Asia, has a lot of Global Fortune 500 companies, and has much better labour, copyright and quality systems requirements and standards. Sure the Chinese can build faster, but a lot of their things are pretty bad. Remember that building that shook for no reason in China just several days ago?
Japan is out of this world a wonderful meaningful experience to visit .
To think that even with all this destruction every time an earthquake happens that Japan still stays a advanced and rich country.
I freaking love control systems. Always fun to nerd out about them.
In terms of Earthquakes, there's only 2 engineering giants to avoid destruction.

Floods litteraly always fucked me here in philippines
As they say, you can engineer (almost) anything.
I hope Turkey and Syria can recover and replace the buildings with ones that will prevent repeated mass tragedies
Turkey and the rest of the world should be taking notes
Wow the tower used three types of seismic isolation at once, just wow
This is show that japanese quality is masterpiece.Respect japan
The tsunami missed me by 50 miles. We were not able to drink tap water or go outside for two weeks. It was truly terrifying.
This was incredible.
Those are the biggest shocks I've ever seen
I heard they sell insurance for godzilla damage
@Cristian. also kaijus
i bet they have insurance for any anime villain that attacks them
And the occasional megazord
Why can't other countries that are prone to earthquakes make a standardized building policy that can withstand earthquake just like Japan?
Another reason is its expensive and I'm not on the right position to say this but some politicians do love money for themselves
corrupt contractors and politicians
A large earthquake in Turkey caused many buildings to collapse.
In Turkey, there is a law that defines earthquake resistance standards,
Unfortunately, however, the law is not well followed.
After all, even if you make a law, it doesn't make sense if you don't have the awareness to follow it.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! Japanese design has always intrigued me
Nice video, but a big dislike for Japanese translation, which didn't consider the context of the words and phrases, how English language is spoken, and how the different culture affects the way of speech. There are problems on every single piece of translation, and some of them just make the sentence not understandable at all.
For example 1:51, those Japanese way of speech originated from local humility culture, like "緊張感" (nervousness) and "自信" (confidence) in Dr. Konishi's sentence, doesn't exist in English way of speech. It should be translated to a way that English users are able to understand, like "It is very hard to design this building / The first problem we met is wind / The building stands only 8 km away from the sea / The sea breeze is strong even in calm weather".
Another example would be 2:31 "色んなデバイスなどが 制振の方法が", as the translation in the video is just word to word translated like "various (色んな) device (デバイス) and damping (制振の) methods (方法)", but instead it should be translated as "vibration control technique". The whose paragraph would be "Regular vibration control techniques used on most buildings / cannot be applied to this tall and thin building / so we developed a unique method to make the building safe".
Thank you very much for your imput, improvement
@KL sz Thank's for the insight. Professional translation requires in depth knowladge of both languages, and some effort.
Translating from one language to another is never going to be 100％ accurate, but I thought it came pretty close most of the time. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but in 1:51, wasn't that not 自信 but 地震 instead？
Thank you for saying, I was literally thinking the same thing while watching the video, so I'm really pleased this is a high up comment.
@@cjkasper You’re correct. He was referring to the earthquake 地震 and not the confidence 自信。
Just yesterday, there was a magnitude 7.1 earthquake in Japan. Everyone is traumatized about 3.11 and we think there will be another big earthquake in the next few years.
But in yesterday's quake, a minute after the quake, the government set up a response headquarters to scout the sky, remove gravel, and begin repairing roads. Earthquakes are inevitable for living in Japan, so daily preparation is important.
I love Japan.
thankk you
And now Japan got hit by another big earthquake. Keep safe everyone in Japan!!
"Is it too expansive to build a disaster-proof antenna tower ?"
"Nah, we build a giant shopping mall, aquarium and observation deck to cover the cost"
It's smart
This being recommended after the 7.1 magnitude earthquake.
Where?
@@hajbam2847 Japan. 0 casualties even after a huge 7.3 magnitude earthquake.
Note that, in the description of rubber isolator of shin-bashira, the word "Gosou" (互層) means alternation layer, not 5 layers (五層). So the rubber isolator is made by steel plate and rubber in many layer-by-layer, probably more than 5.
👍😊
Go Japan!
8.9... I can't even begin to imagine how scary that must be...
It's really amazing how the buildings in Japan withstood all that shaking
I hope there no more earthquakes in Japan 🇯🇵
"When they build disaster proof buildings, the world just builds a bigger disaster."
and we know who is that "world" they are referring to.
@@uyfhkgc4468 Mother Nature
@@imarchello
you are almost correct.
Nuclear weapons and Meteor is the answer.
@@uyfhkgc4468 Try stopping a hurricane with nukes, you won't. A hurricane has the power of hundreds/thousands of nukes, not to mention earthquakes and tsunamis. And Meteors aren't a serious threat for a few million years at least.
Mother Nature has us beat in raw power output and will continue to do so for millennia to come.
@@imarchello he meant to say nucleor weapons indirectly cause natural disasters, by ruining mother nature
6:11 Nujabes is alive again!
5:22 “... GOSO ...” is not “5 layers” (=“5(go) 層(so)” ) but “alternation of strata” (=“互(go)層(so)”).
As a Japanese, I think he said "5層". Though his pronunciation could be sounds like that:)
@@user-si4of1dm4s nope. that rubber stack has more than 5 layers. so it should be 後層
@@harukiharuki1116 you miss a point.
The "gosou" has many meanings in similar pronunciation but, in that conversation, other words like 互層or後層 do not make any sense at all.
And also, 互層 and 後層 are not exist in general vocabulary, at least I`ve never seen or heard them in my life time.
You know Japanese words are consist of multiple kanji which each of them has their own meaning like 後(later),層(layer) 互(alternation), but it does not mean you can make any word you want. They are fixed.
@@user-si4of1dm4s いや、普通に互い違いに積層しているという文脈で言われているわけですから、互層が正しい言葉ですよ。実際問題あの部品は５層ではなくさらに積層されていますから５層では説明がおかしいことになります。

It’s no wonder this country makes so many great epic disaster mangas and films.

Japan: build building that is 600 meters tall 100% disaster proof
China: *China has left the chat*
The real case is the exact opposite.
never underestimate the strength and capacity of japanese people.
Thank Goodness Japan is a wealthy country.
With a lot of debt
@@lorgoat4991 The debt lays with the government and not the people, the people individually are wealthy while the government is not. The same situation exists in the US.

I admire Japan building structure knowledge
If you are new to Japan, buy a disaster prevention set and a stick (tsuppari bou) that stretches between the top of the shelf and the wall right now. Decide where to evacuate with your family in the event of a disaster. (The evacuation site is decided by the area, and there are many schools and parks.)
Amazing engineering 😍
Western Countries be like: Imma pretend this never happened
地震よりも風が重要なんだなあ。
very reason why i want to study engineering in japan
The greyscale map used as background when showing the diagrams (3:33) is of the Milan metropolitan area, not Tokyo!
This is like a heavy duty shock absorbs for Sky Scrapers.
Tokyo is beautiful
While this all very cool and fascinating, this building really doesn’t integrate itself with the local population. Would love to see a video on actual lifesaving technologies that help out the majority like the Tokyo flood tunnels, the metro automated safety protocols, GPS-mounted tsunami buoys, etc.
You kind of have to start from these huge projects, especially for something like an antenna and observational tower
The tower is so beautiful and unique
Wood sounds like setting up a recipe for a different disaster: fire.
all you need a divider design for that a mix material the building will not made 100% wood after all
Well it don't matter because in japan houses are demolished after 30 years.
@@Abdi-uy1kh But in the United States, a house fire is reported once every 22 seconds. I'd picture this statistic to be similar in Japan or elsewhere in the world because we have gas and electricity and other fire hazards inside the home.
They actually coated the wood with some fire proof plasters
@@Awesome_Aasim yes they use a fire proof wood technically.
Very cool!
Natural hazards have made this people so resilient that they reached another level of technology and advancement
Tokyo sky tree's height is 634m from ground. Why is the height decided? Because Tokyo area has been called as Musashi area. And Japanese language is able to read number from sign.
We Japanese can see the numbers among MU-SA-SHI. Mu means 6, SA means 3, SHI means 4. So the height was decided as 634m high.
In 2011,3,11 the Tohoku earth quake occurred, and Tokyo Sky Tree was under construction. A crane machine was on top of the tower. It was big shaking but it had not been damaged at all.
So the Sky tree exists at the place even now.
There is a big difference between an older building with wood floors vs a concrete building in the winter.
At 10:29. Ah, yes, wood is great for earthquake-proofing, typhoon-proofing and wind-proofing. But this engineer conveniently forgets that Japan's fourth deadliest disaster happened in the mid-1600s, and it happened precisely because all the buildings were made of wood in Tokyo--an enormous fire. The giant Meireki fire of 1657 swept through Tokyo, burned down close to 70% of the city, and killed about 100,000 people. One builds tall wooden skyscrapers at one's own peril. Giant fires, especially in tall buildings, are no joke.
Well, yes, but today we have sprinklers and fire engines and firemen. Actually, massive wood burns slowly (0.7 mm/minute), and a wood structure last longer than steel. Ever tried to start a fire without kindling? A big piece of wood is extremely difficult to get burning without small pieces first. By them the sprinklers have extinguished the fire. There has been a lot of research and testing.
Don't forget that is alot more likely for the buildings structure to undergo high lateral loads like wind and seismic loads (especially in Japan) than an enormous fire so yes fireproofing is taken into consideration but making sure the seismic force resisting systems of the building can withstand such lateral loads is extremely important for the safety of the people. Trust me there are codes and regulations that have to be followed. They can't just build whatever they want out of whatever they want
Not sure if it was a translation error but steel is not weak in compression, its certainly cheaper to use timber or reinforced concrete as compression members

Too many old building in italy
Your video about Patagonia that was uploaded a day or two ago was removed. Anyone know why?
Maybe because Patagonia is politically active? Their ethical stance in their business operations seemed positive and very impressive. The explosive political environment can motivate some companies to stay away from the subject altogether. I’m guessing Bloomberg removes the video at Patagonia’s request (unlikely) or a viewer who somehow took offense to the video and reported it (more likely).
@@Gasinduced What was the video about?
Since The Philippines is Also Prone to Disasters Like Typhoons, Earthquakes, and Floods, I Will Design World's Tallest Building to be located in Quezon City, Metro Manila to Feature Shinbashira for the Core of the Building Where its Elevator is Located Here and Multiple Tuned Mass Damper Will be Installed on Tower's Spire and Also Another Will be Installed Inside the Building that Features Tuned Mass Damper Observation Deck Just Like the Taipei 101 Which Have This.
amazing people
Japan is on the "Rim of Fire" which is a ring of seismic fault lines which we in Alaska share with Japan . Earthquakes are quite common here, as is the need to build to avoid structural damage.
i thought it was called "ring of fire"? thats what we learn in class
I hope they can do it but mother nature is pretty powerful.
How do u service the rubber and oil dampers?
with more rubber and oil
wair for calm weather, and service them one at a time or more but not all at once
wonder that too..like do you need to change the damper? how do they lift it etc..
@@whatever_12 More than likely an industrial jack. We've seen these in action like when San Francisco's Salesforce Tower's bridge was cracking and they needed to support it. They would apply some jacks around the one they plan to replace and set them up to take the load off of the rubber to then replace it and release the pressure back.
Wow,look atmospheric energy collectors (capaciters)!
Wrong subtitles added @bloomberg
Thanks for catching that! Fixed.

Tokyo is so big city. World big city has High Buildings for example, NY WorldTradeCenter and Seoul LotteWorldTower. But Tokyo hasn’t over 300m Building. (apart from tower)
Because Tokyo metropolitan area is so vast. Japan has architectural techniques for over 300m building is able to withstand earthquake. But commercially It is efficient to make many under 300m buildings.
how i've missed tokyo and that skytree view.
The history of Japan is very old, about 2,000 years since the Emperor's reign, but humans began to live in villages and communities in this island nation about 14,000 years ago, during “the JOMON pottery” culture
The word "NIPPON(Japan)" means the land under the sun, but another name is "WA"koku or "YAMATO koku," meaning “Harmony among People and Nature”. Japan name means “the Land under the Sun”and” the Land of "Great Harmony of People and Nature,”
Surrounded by the sea on all four sides, geographically isolated from Eurasia continent in the Pacific Ocean this island nation has a warm and humid climate and is blessed with abundant clear water resources, a variety of plants, and fishery resources.
Since ancient times, people have lived peacefully with nature. They have respected harmony, lived peacefully in groups, and overcome many severe natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and typhoons, with each other in groups based on their wisdom and have enjoyed the blessings of nature by cooperating.
The name of the ancient Japanese nation of "YAMATO" or "WA" reflects the wishes and realities of the people to live and to survive in this natural environment of the island nation that differs from that of the Eurasia continent.
And in the names of the ancient countries, the essence and secrets of Japan are hidden.
“A peaceful environment can only be built through mutual give and take, each other.”
One for all, all for one, the sprits of OTAGAI-SAMA, TASUKEAI (help each other, everyone)".
”In times of trouble, we are here ,help for each other.”（Komatta Toki ha Otagaisama)
In public places where everyone gathers, everyone should act in a way that “Do not disturb others.“
If all participants can act in a way perfectly that “you do not cause trouble to others,"
that is, at the same time, it will create an environment in which “No one cause trouble to you”
The same is true if we substitute the phrase "everyone always help others in need.”
If everyone does this completely, at the same time, it will create a social situation in which
"When you are in trouble, someone will help you.” ( could help each other, everyone)
This is a very rational group wisdom to live in peace with each other.
This is not for the sake of any particular person, but in order “to live equally comfortably” with each other,
the obligation to act for the peace of mind of "all participants with each other" also arises.
This is because Japanese have been taught through their childhood “shitsuke- education” that this is an ancient teaching,
a tradition, and “a natural duty of adults.”
It is a teaching and a rule of life that has been handed down in this island nation since ancient times.
They have lived collectively in their island nation's environment for more than 14,000 years,
and this has given them the wisdom of life to survive in that specific environment, which is condensed in the traditional Japanese teachings.
Why do Japanese people insist on maintaining a clean environment to an unusual degree?
Why do they place the highest priority on "not bothering others" in public places?
The Japanese have learned that they must survive at the mercy of nature, which has two faces, light and dark.
People who have lived in a humid island natural environment, which is completely different from the dry and stable continental natural environment, have had to survive in this environment.
That is why they have accepted both the light and dark aspects of this environment without denying it, and have recognized themselves as part of the natural environment, and have used their wisdom and ingenuity to structure their society and survive.
The uniqueness that distinguishes Japan from other countries and the ingenuity of its past that can be seen in every part of the country have been cultivated on this land long before modernization and passed down to the present day.
The warm and humid climate is a breeding paradise not only for humans but also for many other organisms, microorganisms and bacteria.
So it is also an environment where toxic bacteria can easily multiply if not kept clean with constant attention to cleanliness and freshness.
Outbreaks of infectious diseases can be the cause of a community's downfall.
And when a Large-scale natural disaster strikes, the first priority is to recover from the disaster by suppressing individual desires and selfishness and working together in unison to achieve a quick recovery and rebuilding of lives for each other.
These have been regarded since ancient times as rational and efficient practical thoughts for coexistence.
(Japan's rapid postwar economic recovery may have been due in affect to this ancient teaching was ingrained in its traditions.)
This is neither so-called Western individualism nor totalitarianism, nor is it an Asian way of thinking.
It is a way of life that is rational and adapted to the natural environment.
It can be called hybridism, in which social cooperation and individual freedom coexist at same time, which is unique to Japan.
It is an evolution and inheritance of the wisdom of ancient people who, without science, technology, or knowledge, prioritized mutual cooperation to ensure the survival of all members of a community for as long as possible.
If we cannot recognize this essence, we will never understand why only Japanese culture is unique in Asia and around the world.
They are Earthquake central after all
Totally diffrent than indonesian

Some Koreans celebrated our disaster
Why it's used a Milan (Italy) map as background? for example at 3:26
Wood is a great form of carbon capture too if the companies source it from sustainable sources
Japanese skyscrapers are designed to sway flexibly to release seismic shaking.
This is how Japanese-style high-rise buildings' earthquake-resistant structure and vibration isolators work.
The same is true of a 1,500-year-old wooden five-story tower structure, which is made of wood but with a flexible structure that shakes and is designed to isolate vibration.
Without this structure, when the ground shakes, the building would collapse due to the repulsive force of the ground shaking.
As a countermeasure, the building has a flexible structure that synchronizes with the shaking.
Of course, there are limitations to this method of vibration isolation, but the building can survive a slight earthquake without collapsing.
When they think everything to be a challenge for their work Japan and Germany did things to be insane challenge
Philippines needs to learn from Japan
cool
Don't forget the X-Seed 4000
This is interesting recommendation by UA-cam after we face a M7.4 Earthquake.
