It would be good idea to do videos on bad materials design, like unintended consequences in product that people , architects and engineers don't realize. for example, Fibertite roof membranes, they are strong, durable, reflective white, and absolutely a nightmare for anyone going on the roof to do service work on equipment. The issues is that its so reflective it can actually damage people on the roof, burn your retinas, skin, even your electrical meters LCD screen can be burnt out. In areas of the country where we get significant snow , the Fibertite membrane becomes and absolute ice rink, I have been on roofs where I simply could not stay on my feet, too slick because the snow and ice cant actually stick so when it breaks loose so do you. They need to produce that stuff with a textured side, and I cant believe no one has sued them yet, I have wanted to.
can't believe I'm the first comment on this. Great job on product/tech info pricing it tomorrow for a house. I'm going backwards through your videos and just got to "hair down", I know ponytails are easier but down looks good. People tell me the same thing and it's been in a ponytail for 30 years.
As an architect, do you think the original leaky roof was a product of poor design, poor work by the general contractor, some combination of both, or some other factor?
I think the main takeaway is to build a scaled version of a drastically unorthodox building before wasting so much revenue for little benefit. While I appreciate art, this is proof that practical knowledge would benefit society more than this particular art piece.
I think it should have been a more conservative design. I personally don't mind the current one, but it is quite jarring even to me. I don't think it is worth it for a museum to alienate a substantial portion of the population just to have a edgy (pardon the pun) design. A more traditional design still gives many opportunities to showcase art, especially the really old ones. Like the Greco-Roman style can pull off a design festooned with sculptures, moldings and columns. It's a classic for a reason.

My gosh, I look like a kid! I can't believe that was just 2 years ago. Thanks for the tip about the hair ;)
Love this. It's always nice to see a product that just works!
I love the mix of imperial and decimal units :-)
Great video. Thanks for making it.
It would be awesome if you did a video on Fiberglass roofs.
They seem to be popular in the UK, but are pretty much unheard of here in the USA.
Fascinating and informative video!
Problem we have with TPO is leaking at the seams. What do you recommend for sealing?
Great architecture leaks?
Nah, if it invites leaks, it's not good architecture.

Why role does animal fat, jet fuel or oil play on a roofing membrane that it requires testing? It makes no sense.

Eh, the building's completely soulless. It's more bauhaus garbage.

This video felt like a high school project or a paid promotion
