Thank you for this documentary, I watched it with my aging father, a retired Architect, who wrote his Architecture School Thesis on the idea of Planned Obsolescence in 1968 & was essentially told that what he was suggesting was "not true" and was "not practical." He was envisioning a future for architecture and design that was rooted less in the tradition of permanence and more in ideas of evolving, regenerating, compostability, sustainability with materials that would not destroy the earth but be from/with the earth. And so we watched your documentary, my father now quite unsteady, often sleeping most of his days, his own body deteriorating and throughout watching, he nodded and uttered small mmmmhmm mmmmhmmm to signify that he was not only engaged but was in solidarity. Afterwards, he spoke (something he rarely does these days) of your documentary: he wondered about the ecological relationships being proposed, if density can be sustained, if green spaces were a consideration in terms of the ideas of people being in community. And while he did say this out loud, I sensed that he was within a kind of wonder and gratitude to those offering radical pedagogical redesigning beyond "the master's tools" that will allow for the very necessity of architects to being elevated, to not fade into The Obsolete. Thank you for the gift of being able to witness my father return to a life-of-the-imagination-mind at a time when he seems to be slipping away ~
This documentary changed my mindset about cities and even about humanity, and as a future architect I also feel responsible for the sustainable and human development of cities. I also see how these technologies can and will change the reality of my country (Brazil) and other nations positively.
But why? All these cities of the future look like soulless globs of concrete arranged in basic geometric shapes. 0 culture 0 humanity It's like the corporate "art" of architecture
The "Urban Shelf" design could work well in the desert. The way the higher sections could help shade the lower sections in summer could help offset energy used for cooling, and watering systems for vegetation could save water by preventing runoff.

What a fantastic documentary. I hope, one day, I’ll be able to be a major part of what these guys are doing in Africa. Even though I’m not planning to be an architect. God bless these guys
A very informative documentary. With increasing population and increasing demand for new buildings, developing new ideas on architecture is a clear solution to secure the human cohabitation sustainably.
I am an architect, from Brazil but living in the USA. I am an entrepreneur in technology and an enthusiast of new visions about architecture. I don't remember having seen such a great documentary about urban planning, architectural design, and interior design. Make me feel that if we could get together, we could change the world. I would like to meet all these professors and guys in person. If possible, I would like to contribute with some ideas...
I always feel so inspired watching things like this. I am currently trying to create something similar but it has some fundamental differences. I hope to be able to launch the concept at the end of 2022. Thank you for sharing.
This will be wonderful! I wish and pray to live when this prospers world wide! And i really pray this concepts is not only limited towards cities, but also becomes available for people living in towns, to also benefit from the easier ways of living and also building towns to the people's needs. I have really been praying for things like this from my primary school years.
The flexible house idea only really works if you live alone, have bugger all 'stuff' & anything that doubles as a bathroom will face issues with damp. it's an option, but it's not a great one. Also, over-populating a small area creates a faster spread of illness and higher replication/mutation rate for those illnesses.
I agree completely, I think that the wet areas of a dwelling need to be separated and not multipurpose. There's something very unappealing about making salad in the same steamy, wet spot where you just had a shower. I think the big winner here was the partition room that can be opened up when you want to have a group of friends over or make a space for dancing or exercise or whatever. Though, no doubt all of this origami house stuff needs to be lived in and tested over years in real properties for the issues to be largely realised and the designs to be improved.
And still both developers and local governments due to efficiency and cost just keep increasing density seek to create dense concrete wastelands, overcrowded ant nests. I just notice that there is a lot less green areas, open space in modern developments compared to ones from 50-80s. Do they feel we don't care about or need these things?
@@ligametis people certain want some green spaces and open areas I think. It certainly is a balancing act. Denser areas tend to improve walkability, lower reliance on vehicles and thus reduce environmental impact, but people need green spaces to walk and use.
A lot of cool ideas I'll never be able to use, affordability is super important, a robotic shoebox or walking community is nice but not for $2000+ a month. And you put some new thing in an apartment or home and it's price skyrockets.
@@basilmagnanimous7011 the wording of your reply is interesting, are you for or against communism? Like your overall statement is pro communist/socialists but he central bank statement seams to contradict that. I'm not trying to rag on you I'm just interested
That French architect had an interesting point about designing for the future rather than what is practical for the current construction technology and norms. It probably takes some pretty pictures and a handful of astronomically expensive prototype buildings to inspire the greatest civic engineers and builders to begin considering the big question here - how can you build these complex, curved, cantilevered buildings at a reasonable price point, in a reasonable timeframe and in a safe manner? I'd love to see our cities transformed with beautiful buildings and vibrant spaces, and hope that the best of the best are out there figuring all this out. On the other hand, increasing the amount of public space at the cost of private space is a great idea, but I think many places in the world just aren't ready for it. I live in Perth, Western Australia, and violence, meth, worship of 'gangsta' rappers and alcoholism is a huge problem here. It's not safe to walk around the CBD at night, and what few public spaces we have in the city centre are not comfortable, they're inhabited by the druggos and alcoholics with nothing to lose, who'll snarl abuse at you if you don't give them money or a cigarette, or have screaming matches with each other at the entrance to the train station. I think the most important thing in my city is having accessibility and good roads for the police to arrive quickly when you need them. Before we begin phasing out roads and thinking about more communal living I think we need to figure out who on our streets needs to be helped back to their feet, and who needs to be cared for on a long term basis in order to make our city a safe and comfortable place to be. After that I imagine having more nicely sculptured, well lit and landscaped public space will be a leap forward for humanity.
I’m glad 🙂, that some where like gerhard is struggling for a change keeping the environment safe for the generations that follows. Much appreciations needed for the people like him. Change is what needed with in us. Go green, save water and environment.
26.40 The multi functional house was common in poor agricultural areas and probably still is. People and animals sleep under the same roof. In fact, the entire building might be under the same roof, often with a partial dividing wall. It keeps them all safe and warm in cold nights.

@@myparceltape1169 BUT still it makes less environmental problems and existing plenty of desert sand can be utilised instead of deminishing sand that we use.
@@faizalk4463 Good point. We can also think of the possible uses for inorganic materials which are created without pores, such as normal concrete cast and set in a vacuum. It could replace hydrocarbon-derived polymer when necessary. We need to do a lot more materials research, though I suspect that money is the biggest stumbling block.
Amazing doco. Thanks. But more mention of plants, and biophilic design, which should be incorporated with all modern architect so as to nurture our connection with nature and want to save it.
I was born in a small village in Cambodia and lived in Oregon most my life. One thing I missed most is the sense of community and everyone knew and looked out for each other. It's every man for themselves but overall it's better here.
it's interesting the point of view of the arquitectures but what about the waste system within the shelf's... how dark water will be managed and residue collection those are a very big problem in major cities already because city drains aren't prepared for the amount of waste produced by the growth of big cities
@ 15:37 The Building is completely USELESS for disable people... Who rely on a MOBILITY SCOOTER to get their freedom back... To some;... LIFTS R a NO;... NO... while stairs R just NO GO places... Ramps have to have a LIMIT 2 the incline or have;... FLAT surface inclines escalators... While 90' corners have to have a minimum turning circle...
The problem is with the multiple use spaces is that the wear and tear is twice as much so special materials will be needed. Old buildings are filled with innovative technologies that no longer work. Imagine all the waste and expense of repairing the mechanics of these very complex orispaces. Schwitalla's arrangement of space are pretty amazing!
And then, dying in a city designed like this, after the authorities have welded you into you apartment/prison, during the next plandemic that they are now planning.
I am somewhat sceptical about the subject, as an architect. Designing buildings and cities as matter of crowd control instead of cultural and social inputs will only create a society that uses space as matter of need but not to flourish and enjoy. Single space used for multiple functions may solve student housing but will not work on family housing, and as eveybody knows students are alrady using their dorm rooms for multiple functions hence a basic survey on students will provide more than enough information. As materials wise, builders are using more materials to built buildings for investors not for people who actually uses them. In China the use of steel and concrete increased but most of those developments are unused. Same with gulf countries, the buildings are made for foreigners, most gulf locals don't even live in city centers and its sandbox playground buildings. Creating mega cities may seem productive on paper but in real world smaller cities with integrated societies flourish while big cities suffer with their miserable residents. Smaller cities has lower pollution, less traffic, less health problems, sustainable and rewenable energy is more practical and housing problems are lower due to low population density. Why do you think a lot oof people are moving to smaller cities as they get tired of the bigger cities?
*Wow! We really need to provide such solutions to prevent the future catastrophe of urban sprawl in our cities, mostly in Africa where we have countless opportunities.* _I'm exited to be part of this big project._
THE IDEA OF A FUTURISTIC ARCHITECTURAL CITY DESIGN IDEAL SHOULD PROVIDE MANAGEMENT OF ENERGY, EMERGENCY, ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSFORMATION, TRANSPORTATION, MULTI DIVERSITY E.T.C
8:45 no need to create giant concrete blocks just because cars are gone. There is something called rail. Rail and mid density housing is the future of cities
I lov it as well love it. Especially thinking about the sustainability and interconnect ability of it parts to form a bigger picture . Leading arch heads always thinking out side of the box by ripping it apart and reconfiguring it to make way for best views of the future sky Line .
If you see elevators as a problem, clearly you don't use a wheelchair. Those ramps are also way too steep for wheelchairs...clearly you just haven't thought of the existence of disabled people at all in this design
The problems is not the cities and how constructed and designed they are, the problem is people - it's too many of us. If you make space for cars, build more roads, the more cars there will be... Ehm... The only way how to live sustainable life on our planet including cities is cut the reproduction rate down. Well, easily said than...
Need more research on polymer concrete .if its load bearing is improved and other essential properties then its a positive thing for sustainable growth of cities.
Infrastructure and architructure plays the most vital part in making an advanced city. City designers make the most of it when they design the construction of a city. Fantastic vedio.❤😢😢😅😊
We dont need urban areas. Theres 37billion acres of land on the planet.. thers 7billion peoplem everyone could have a home on 2acres and still have plenty to spare.
This is very interesting, but someone needs to sit in a wheelchair, to understand how much more room is needed to live in, and no asks for a wheelchair.
Urban planning simulaton from MIT Media Lab can prove to me revolutionary in the architecture if it functions to its full capability. It only gets better as more and more data is fed to the model to stimulate. Correct planning for space is so crucial for designing suitable architecture and transit spaces in today's rapiding urbanising cities.
26:22 is very interesting but there are a few issues I see there. Well, mainly just 1, which is that the kitchen is EXTREMELY small. There is an easy way to fix that: If you add a foot or 2 to the width (wall to wall, not window to door), then swap the kitchen to the sidewall, you can make it MUCH longer and include a fridge and oven. Current dimensions seems to be about 10x35 foot (350 sq feet), you can make that into 12x35 foot (420 sq feet). If you don't want to add the extra sq footage, then you can move the bathroom door to the hidden space where the bed is. By doing that you can double the small kitchen you have. It should barely be enough to add a fridge and oven. I believe the extra 2 foot to the width adds an extreme quality of life upgrade though. Aside from the longer kitchen, you can add so much more on the wall now. Extra storage, add another office or move it over there. Or other things. But aside from that, I really enjoyed this concept. I don't dislike the bed that lifts to the ceiling either.
Challenge for architects making building for both purpose "Food and shelter" which cannot disturb context and fulfill basic requirements of day today life.
The Indian gentleman was describing hi rises that are empty. Lower the price if you want to fill them. Screen the people and those with good character references but low income, let them in. There is no reason that anyone should not have a place to live .
The configurable spaces one was weird/dystopian when I first thought of it- but in places with such seriously limited space, this could be a way to address the lack of spaces. I wonder how that startup is doing now
More and more people are moving out of cities now. We should focus on developing rural areas instead, like the dude with a factory in Namibia. This planet needs more down to the ground people like him
Intriguing possible glitch in the documentary. At 46m10s+, Joséphine has a ring on her left hand finger. But at 46m42s+, that ring has flown off to her right hand finger! :)
This is such a great documentary! It opens up a huge world of possibilities! And looking at the technological developments, it sure brings hope for the future. Hope to see these cities built and functional in our generation. Thank you so much for enlightening 52 mins. Gonna share this video to all my friends 😊😊😊
Ancient Humans back in the days, where they lived in forests had a leveller which is nature filled with forests, wildlife and it's associated life. But whatever types of buildings we modern humans create with concrete, steel etc, there will always be inequality. That inequality will always be a distressor with modern humans' and their cities. Nature is a levellor. But humans made environment is always unequal.
Illogical, those things are come about due to choices certain people make. Cities don't "breed" anything, they are not living or conscious. The composition of cities could change if people are motivated to make different decisions.
Earth’s population is ever increasing. The challenge: housing, homes, affordable for all.
How can we use new technology to create new spaces where there’s none left? How can sustainable construction revolutionize the construction industry?
This documentary searches for answers - presenting innovative concepts for the challenges facing humanity. The objective: humane housing in ever shrinking space.

Thank you very much for this documentary! It surely has opened my mind to new ideas!
8:45 no need to create giant concrete blocks just because cars are gone. There is something called rail. Rail and mid density housing is the future of cities
I love architecture ❤️
I lov it as well love it. Especially thinking about the sustainability and interconnect ability of it parts to form a bigger picture . Leading arch heads always thinking out side of the box by ripping it apart and reconfiguring it to make way for best views of the future sky
Line .
Amazing show.Thanks for all your documentary. Enjoying watching them
Very interesting and informative ❤️
babel town? i dont want that if its gonna fall you know
If you see elevators as a problem, clearly you don't use a wheelchair. Those ramps are also way too steep for wheelchairs...clearly you just haven't thought of the existence of disabled people at all in this design
Well actually, with the rise in neurology chip implants will allow them to walk again as allowing people with autism to fully communicate
This is inspiring!
The problems is not the cities and how constructed and designed they are, the problem is people - it's too many of us. If you make space for cars, build more roads, the more cars there will be... Ehm... The only way how to live sustainable life on our planet including cities is cut the reproduction rate down. Well, easily said than...
mind blowing concepts❤❤
Need more research on polymer concrete .if its load bearing is improved and other essential properties then its a positive thing for sustainable growth of cities.
really nice questions asked there
Thank you
It’s our pleasure and our job which we love so we’re happy you’re happy 😃
If a place like this becomes real in my lifetime I'm gonna see it such a cool idea
Aradığım tüm harika bilgiler buradaymış.. 😍😍😍
Infrastructure and architructure plays the most vital part in making an advanced city. City designers make the most of it when they design the construction of a city. Fantastic vedio.❤😢😢😅😊
All of this sounds great, but its absolutely useless if people don't have access to affordable housing
We dont need urban areas. Theres 37billion acres of land on the planet.. thers 7billion peoplem everyone could have a home on 2acres and still have plenty to spare.
This is very interesting, but someone needs to sit in a wheelchair, to understand how much more room is needed to live in, and no asks for a wheelchair.
Techonology flies so fast
Urban planning simulaton from MIT Media Lab can prove to me revolutionary in the architecture if it functions to its full capability. It only gets better as more and more data is fed to the model to stimulate. Correct planning for space is so crucial for designing suitable architecture and transit spaces in today's rapiding urbanising cities.
Wow This is a channel of UA-cam amazing, thanks for the video....
26:22 is very interesting but there are a few issues I see there. Well, mainly just 1, which is that the kitchen is EXTREMELY small.
There is an easy way to fix that:
If you add a foot or 2 to the width (wall to wall, not window to door), then swap the kitchen to the sidewall, you can make it MUCH longer and include a fridge and oven.
Current dimensions seems to be about 10x35 foot (350 sq feet), you can make that into 12x35 foot (420 sq feet).
If you don't want to add the extra sq footage, then you can move the bathroom door to the hidden space where the bed is. By doing that you can double the small kitchen you have. It should barely be enough to add a fridge and oven.
I believe the extra 2 foot to the width adds an extreme quality of life upgrade though. Aside from the longer kitchen, you can add so much more on the wall now. Extra storage, add another office or move it over there. Or other things.
But aside from that, I really enjoyed this concept. I don't dislike the bed that lifts to the ceiling either.
Challenge for architects making building for both purpose "Food and shelter" which cannot disturb context and fulfill basic requirements of day today life.
Am addicted to this channel 😯😯😯😯
Damn so many serious points to be studied further. This is like 20 thesis worth of urban planning info.
Absolutely love this channel! So, so interesting.
Thanku for this types documentey also share with us in future also
Great documetary!
The Indian gentleman was describing hi rises that are empty. Lower the price if you want to fill them. Screen the people and those with good character references but low income, let them in. There is no reason that anyone should not have a place to live .
Then the building will not raise the capital it created it's self with live alone the profit it should be making
when was this filmed?
Amazing
Thinking outside the box at its finest..This is awsome.
The configurable spaces one was weird/dystopian when I first thought of it- but in places with such seriously limited space, this could be a way to address the lack of spaces. I wonder how that startup is doing now
Organized management in a city relies on its good architecture with enough space for each activity🌱
Marvelous!
More and more people are moving out of cities now. We should focus on developing rural areas instead, like the dude with a factory in Namibia. This planet needs more down to the ground people like him
@The Renaissance Man
well American cities have been declining for a long time already.
I'm not talking about 3rd world counties 😉
@The Renaissance Man
Even in France people are moving to the country side to escape from corona and restrictions
Intriguing possible glitch in the documentary. At 46m10s+, Joséphine has a ring on her left hand finger. But at 46m42s+, that ring has flown off to her right hand finger! :)
46:10 and 46:42 you are welcome
Good informative..thanks ,sir . respect from Bangladesh
This is such a great documentary! It opens up a huge world of possibilities! And looking at the technological developments, it sure brings hope for the future. Hope to see these cities built and functional in our generation.
Thank you so much for enlightening 52 mins. Gonna share this video to all my friends 😊😊😊
Espetacular!!!
Making paths not straight and flat (AKA boring)... glad there are infrastructure planners out there that are aware of that.
How does that polymer concrete hold up to heat ie a fire given its base material
Ancient Humans back in the days, where they lived in forests had a leveller which is nature filled with forests, wildlife and it's associated life. But whatever types of buildings we modern humans create with concrete, steel etc, there will always be inequality. That inequality will always be a distressor with modern humans' and their cities. Nature is a levellor. But humans made environment is always unequal.
That is why 2040 video can succeed. 🏡
People were never equal. Even when they appeared equally poor. When famine came, the good hunters stopped feeding the lazy.
The biggest problem with cities is it breeds gated communities and ghettos and that breeds inequality and crime.
Illogical, those things are come about due to choices certain people make. Cities don't "breed" anything, they are not living or conscious. The composition of cities could change if people are motivated to make different decisions.
@@sheeplehunter9651 this makes absolutely no sense 🙄
Wee need to design a way to keep cars etc.. we will be mad depressed without them!..design some really cool freeway systems!..
flexible building : hello vertigo
