Thank you so much for the awesome feedback guys! We LOVE our viewers 👍
Cities will eventually be layered massive mega cities, this is just the start.
I love your channel guys, you're helping me make my career choices! Any chance there's already enough information to do a video on the proposed tulip building in London?
One of your recent videos, I suggested a video on Horizontal Skyscrapers and I am so happy you made this video! I'm from Minneapolis (home of many, modest sky bridges) and I love the new developments around the world incorporating this idea!
dude, are you the same guy from ESO? i need to know! that voice sounds all to familiar. funny thing is, i subbed to those channels indifferntly, because i love skyrim and studied architecture.
Is it possible to get the soundtrack? Awesome videos by the way keep it up 🤙🏻
I always respect you for crediting every picture being displayed. Professionalism being greatly displayed.
Definitely, it really is appreciated.
he is still stealing it
@@WSWEss or are they promoting it?
@@WSWEss Where the fuck are we allowed to draw the lines of what is acceptable and what is not?
Are we not allowed to show pictures of anything unless we took them ourselves?
Guess youtube letsplays should be taken down, since they display someone elses game.
@@WSWEss stfu
Imagine getting stuck in a horizontal elevator for hours when you realize you could have just walked forward.
Exactly. Even the concept sounds weird!
Why use an elevator when you could just fall?
Elevator is meant to go up or down but not horizontally. Those could be automatic walkways .
My city: We got 1 skybridge
One building: We got 8
At least you got one
My city: what's a skybridge?
My city: why's a skybridge
My county: we got 0
My city: What is skycraper?
I live in New York and had no idea the sky bridge of copper towers had all that stuff in it
If only it would have better views instead of Long Island City
Because you don’t live in the towers lol. It said they’re only for residents.
they're one of the few nyc projects worth building! not just glass and white edges!
so glad the Petronas Towers skybridge is included here. at the time of its construction it was an accomplishment of its own. it was struck by lightning four times during its ascend into place. it was a marvel on its own right.
It's by far the most prestigious twin towers in the world.
Petronas Twin Towers are beyond impressive. Easily my most favourite buildings in the world
it's amazing to see building Tech growing before my eyes...I was 13 when the World Trade Center opened and 41 when they came down...I've been in construction for most of those years in the philadelphia area...Its staggering to see what was then; "SKYSCRAPERS OF THE FUTURE", coming on line in real time...Seeing some of these projects, especially in the south China/Indonesian areas being constructed are profound! Those sky bridges are structural too...They help to keep the sway down and the inherent lateral movements these structures endure due to geography...Thanks for the upload!
your explanation of them increasing integrity helps me mentally lol. seriously. i was thinking they were madness and making me pee myself just thinking about.
And I was 13 when the twin towers came down!
Why would they demolish the WTC? Was it outdated or something?

@@Destroyer-dk6oj r/woosh
These buildings are so beautiful, makes me want to travel the world just to visit them! Thanks again for another well put video!
@DefinitelyNotDan 🤣🤣🤣
@DefinitelyNotDan lmao
I would definitely not consider myself rich, but I have stayed at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and visited the Petronas Tower in Malaysia.
You will and I will too😃
@@RioMuc How much did it cost? And was food expensive? I was going to go to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand this year but couldn't because of the virus but I'm planning to go next year, I'm not well off because I'm a student (paying for 5 years of university) but I was considering spending one night frivolously at an expensive hotel, and then the rest as a peasant 😭
Oh look, more hotels that I can’t afford.
Greeaaaat.
Well, at least for Petronas Twin tower skybridge, its cheap
But you can look at it and even take a picture of it! Yeah... I can't affod it either
Work till you can afford it.
Yep, that's me too..
I stay cheaply at a home with Airbnb then go gawk at these impressive buildings for free
I couldn't hit the link any faster to watch this vid. Great video. Skybridge concepts are going to get even better in the future
At first I thought Skybridge Renaissance was the name of the building 😅
Wow, my home town sure has been making a number of B1M videos as of late. Love your work guys, from Melbourne😁
5:13 - My jaw hit the floor when I quickly realized I was looking at freakin' SKY BRIDGES in these 3+ photos! 😦😦😦
I love skybridges would love to go to minneapolis or calgary they have so many of them
Love a good skybridge. Am I weird ? 👀🤔
Yes but no
Gavin you are but that’s ok
You're not the only one!
Absolutely not..Love skybridge and heights.👍🏻
To the average person, maybe. To any intellectual, artist, or person who truly appreciates architecture, no.
I literally love The B1M videos. I don’t know if there is one I haven’t seen yet! Always so fascinating and so well directed!
Thank you!
7:31 Horizontal elevators? Why? Does walking on a flat ground has become too mainstream?
The main purpose is to allow the interchanging of cabins between different elevator shafts, allowing you to have more than 1 elevator cabin per elevator shaft, improving space efficiency. Using it to go between 2 towers is just an extension of that idea.
Elevators? Why? Has walking up stairs become to mainstream?
@@futuristicman507 Well my not very brilliant friend let me tell you that: if you wanna go up in a skyscraper of 50, 60, 70 or +100 floors on foot provably holding up with you some form of baggage like a wallet, a box of personal objects or a ¡fookin suitcase! then that's your problem.
The problem with horizontal elevators is that you could get the same effect with any (literary ANY) other vehicle in long distances and a plain path and in short distances you just give a walk. Nobody can be so lazy to rely in a elevator to cross some meters of distance.
Lord Euden the “horizontal” elevator isn’t solely for horizontal movement. If you’re on floor 5 of building A and need to get to floor 25 of building C, you’d have to take an elevator in building A to the ground floor or the sky bridge, walk to building C, then order a separate elevator to to floor 25. The horizontal elevator would allow you to call a single elevator that takes you the entire route and thus improve capacity. Sit tf down and shut up lmao.
Similar to someone driving around a parking lot for 15 minutes hoping to secure a spot close to the door
Your videos are lit. They have the professional touch. Thanks for these wonderful videos. Love from Ghana.
Another exceptional video! Thank you for all the awesome content covered over the years! Looking forward to what 2022 has in store at The B1M.
Quality first as usual. Nice video always for B1M.
I love the Shangri-La/Sapphire by the Gardens building! The golden colours of the sky bridge looks so cool! I also really like all the greenery at the bottom
This channel is just a gift that keeps on giving!
yet again proud for having subscribed to your amazing channel. I never studied or worked in construction, but my father did his entire life! So bad he cannot understand english. But only by the pictures he loves your work and I do also since I am a great fan of buildings. Traveled the world for some of the most iconic one, like Singapore`s Marina Bay Sands
Love your work!
This one was one of your best videos so far.
The videos on this channel are always so fascinating! Keep it up!
This is easily one of my top 5 favorite topics that B1M has covered!
Ooooo what are the other 4??
Yes!!! Calgary made the B1M! Hometown represent! Except we call them "plus fifteen" bridges here.
TrueChadMartin whys that?
@@mishaj2647 Usually our system is fifteen feet above ground, but it is the longest connected elevated system in the world. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%2B15
TrueChadMartin how the hell do you survive in the cold up there
Shout out to the YYC 👌
"...in places with extreme climates, such as Dubai ... or Calgary" lol
You guys should make a Netflix/UA-cam series where you take more time to go in-depth to specific buildings
Not only the sky bridges, it is so, so good to see the progression from boxes stood on end. As godbluffvdgg comments, the giant leaps forward in technology and construction methods is mind blowing. Great work B1M, otherwise we would have no idea that all this great stuff is out there. When I was a lad [far too long ago!] anything built in the far east was considered mud huts, Now they have certainly blown that away.
I always love your videos ..And the graphics and images shown in videos is absolutely amazing..Thnx for providing valuable information..
Impressive advancements in civil engineering. This UA-cam channel is seriously under-subscribed, considering the the quality of contents uploaded here.
Dubai’s looks like it could compete with Singapore’s, however both look rlly amazing. Chonqings is also very good.
This was one of the best videos you have ever produced (that I have seen anyway).
Not sure why this just popped up in my feed, now....but I'll take it. Excellent video!
In Dubai the address sky view construction is finished and it looks beautiful ! One of my favorite buildings so far in Dubai’s downtown skyline
This is fascinating!
As a kid in the 80s, I played with micromachines and pretended there were skybridges and elevators for them linking all the furniture around me together into one network.
Then my high school had a skybridge linking the gym and the main building together, which was such an interesting and unique feature for a suburban public school.
Skybridges can be very useful and can make for an interesting architectural feature.
Another amazing video from the B1M!
This channel is awesome!
If you havent done so already you should do some episodes on underground cities like the malls in Toronto & Montreal.
Shout out to Toronto Canada! 1:02 This was a new design to replace the old skybridge linking the Eaton Centre and The Bay, and is gorgeous, with a helix-like design. It doesn't compare to these more extreme projects by any means.
Well-paced narration, beautiful voice, non-intrusive music, awesome images, amazing content. Thank you so much for this great channel.
Amen to that. There is a channel called visual politik which has great well researched content but has an annoying rock background music 🙄
Another awesome video. You give us perspective of concepts being used around the world that for most people like myself would not be seen. Thank you!
The future is here already! Nice video, powerful channel. I will never miss a video from this channel for anything in the world.
Skybridges can provide great spaces for skygardens (depending on how high it is), and could even serve as stations for transportation drones to drop people off in the future.
Once again thank you for bringing us a fascinating very well done program on what incredible achievements we as a people can accomplish👍🏼
Wow I can’t believe Minneapolis wasn’t brought up in this video when it started building skyways in 1962 and has the most of any city in the world.
{INSERT COMMENT ABOUT HIGH QUALITY}
In Milwaukee and Minneapolis there’s sky bridges above the roads between malls and stuff. In Milwaukee there’s even sky bridges between buildings over the river.
These videos are great! Really enjoy the history lesson behind these architectural motifs.
@The B1M, I am a big fan (and long-time subscriber), but have one small piece of feedback. The background music is often too loud, making it difficult to hear your narrations. Take a look at the sound balancing. Otherwise, thank you for the content!
Great video like always!!!!
This is one of the most interesting videos on the already interesting channel!
I am among the architecture junkies that devour this channel -- and I love the narrator's accent, and paced delivery and his tone of voice.
But I would have liked some information concerning the engineering for sky bridges.....what with building motion, etc.
B1M: A true renaissance of the skybridge!
Me: Laughs in Minnesotan.
For real! I live downtown St. Paul and they're a way of life for us.
@@euphrentic I mean, we are crazy for living in Minnesota in the winter, but we aint stupid, right?
I was gonna say!!!
Another phenomenal video from The B1M
I live a block away from the building in the thumbnail, it's only 20 floors high at the moment but its starting to really take shape. I think the end result will be impressive.
Again an amazing video!
Great images, editorial and music, soothing and inspiring!
Excellent content as always
With 2 towers or more, incorporating 1 level (all) towers with outside wrap around on the outer buildings connecting each other. Add plants and gardens along the stretch path. It becomes a long stretch of walkway for running and exercising and maybe add a a lane for bicycles . An endless outside picturesque for a run in the morning and sunset. All buildings on these levels have arrays of amenities for kids and families with food and beverages available with shops and outlets. Also Open for public to bring in more visitors and tourists.
Another great upload. Keep it up!
I'm personally working on Embassy Gardens in London and I was so curious to know if you'd include it. Well researched!
There was an archaic scifi idea of an entire city constructed as one unit, with the sky bridges also serving structural support to the system, making each individual skyscraper more stable. In other words, the bridges can be constructed to allow higher skyscrapers, with a system of, for example, 50 buildings supporting each other. These bridges would not be horizontal necessarily, but could extend down at angles from one building to the next. This would be a kind of modern version of external trusses supporting gothic cathedrals, except that the external trusses would be a series of shorter skyscrapers, linking up towards higher and higher ones towards the center, with, perhaps, one single highest skyscraper at the center of the complex. You could imagine such a system pouring out over a mountain pass, looking like a glacier of interlocking buildings, blending in with the mountains.
Your videos are awesome!!!
Great content and well presented. Thanks from Orlando Florida.
Could you do a video about the contruction and safety of these bridges? Also your sound mixing is so great. I dunno what you do tonyour videos, but whatever it is it triggers all sort of spacial effects on my speakers. :)
Great content as always. We will soon have the longest skybridge in South Asia coming up at ITC Colombo, Sri Lanka (55m unsupported span at appox. height of 100m). Looking forward to watching the construction process of the deck in September 2019.
Skybridges look awesome. I hope it becomes a standard in building tech, in a few decades.
Yesss, I’ve always loved skybridges.
What has been the biggest break through in making these Skybridges possible? Skybridges and skinny towers fascinate me.
Good afternoon B1M, would you consider doing a episode on beautiful modern bridges from around the world? Not just typical suspicion brides, but pedestrian bridges and shorter bridges built in urban and semi urban areas. I am really enjoying your channel and I see the subs growing quickly. Thank you from a sub.
I built a skybridge for my cat ! ! !
It connects the couch to the TV.
One building that might be tenuously considered a "skybridge" is the 85 Sky Tower in Kaohsiung, Taiwan- it's shaped with two lower prongs, and a single central tower, so there's a large space below the tallest part of the building.
A lot of those just give me severe anxiety by me imagining standing below them.
Architecture is so awesome.
I love the pun, at the end of your intro💜‼️
Personally love it. As a security professional, skybridges are a nightmare.
I've always loved this idea. When I was a kid 50s in Detroit there was one, but they took it down 😞
This is amazing how they are building.
It is showing the world in interest.
This is the time to build with the sky.
I'm so happy you mentioned Calgary. The +15 as it's called, the walkways here can connect you from one end of downtown to the other. To my knowledge it is the longest such system in the world.
That's awesome man. Now I have to visit Calgary one day.
@@CockatooDude It really can come in handy on -30 days as it's inside and warm. And it connects to a series of mini malls where you can grab a coffee or something. My only complaint is they need to be modernized, as some are awkwardly small or don't have ramps for people who are handicapped. Otherwise it's quite cool.
@@Junokaii Yeah I bet, I am sure that one day they will be nice and spacious and there'll be more of them. That'll be awesome.
@@CockatooDude Gonna have to. Population is growing too quickly. Be too crowded soon enough.
I have always loved sky bridges, i want to see those become the norm.
You have got a state-of-the-art received pronunciation RP. Do Never miss it! And ALWAYS, ALWAYS STICK TO THE METRIC SYSTEM.
HOWEVER, in this subject (aerial corridors/sky bridges/ elevated pedestrian crossings.) You might be interested to know that although perhaps not so much flamboyantly spectacular as the Asian/arabs ones you could realise that this type of structure are commonly found in Big South American cities and in Spain even in ciudad de Panamá I remember walking within one 10 years ago in the Radisson Decapolis Hotel connecting it to the Casino over a high traffic road. Another "small" example that came to my mind now is the long aerial covered bridge linking 2 shopping centres in the Colombian Caribbean city Barranquilla (Where Shakira & Sofia Vergara were born)
My point is that that is something that Chinese wallet took it (like many things) from Europe (Spain, chiefly Barcelona) they are NOT PIONEER AT ALL IN TERMS OF ARCHITECTURE OR URBANISM AT ALL!
1:03, that skybridge looks dope.
Horizontal elevator, I kept having those kind of dream travelling in it when I was in primary school !
Kudos for such wonderful and professional content. Thank you for educating us.
I like the fact that you included the Bahrain world trade center as a great example for utilizing skybridges for energy purposes
1:46 that's the first skybridge.
Not even close
Really good content! Keep it up.
Great video once again!
These skybridges are breathtaking. But I’m certain I would vomit and collapse should I ever dare to cross one. The view is just fine from the street, thank you.
here's to possibly the most evocative narrator on the internet/youtube
"Let's copy the Marina Bay Sands Hotel"
"But we don't have enough money"
" *let's just put a long plastic bottle at the top of the buildings instead of a ship* "
The one in Chongqing is pretty damn impressive. One has to wonder whether these are simply a fad of the times, popularized by folks mentioned in this film, or if they are a permanent addition to how we come to see our built environment. I imagine the answer depends quite a lot on local regulations and other building's willingness to integrate into a broader sky bridge network.
Skybridges has already part of Singapore architechtural style since long time ago...way before the petronas twin tower ever become famous yet....The Harbourfront view in Singapore are the first twin tower with bridges ever build...now skybridges are all over the city with numerous catchy design
LOVE YOUR CONTENT
Israel's young towers which has a skybridge is near finishing too (it is quiet small) and the harbbah tower has been finished. honestly so many projects have a skybridge here
Most engineers: build fairly conventional skybridges
The engineers working on 4:36 building: *snorts coacane*
This tall builds, went way beyond the height and numbers of floors, now is so unreal in shapes and forms. The new thing is multi functions and use of one building.I wish they could keep it simple, that complex of architecture sometimes is sick and not needed,but.... TH
highly watchable - thanks
I'm surprised you didn't make a blurb about Minneapolis... I use the Skyway every day!
