This "roof garden" is essentially building a (obviously A/C-cooled) greenhouse out of concrete and glass in 500 m, yet they still advertise it as "eco friendly". Incredible marketing
Wait till u hear abt the ppl that build their structure
I couldn't name a single project in Dubai that could be considered "eco-friendly"
Ecostly
Well at least now the world has an example of an industrial construction complex rather than the defense one...😅
And on top of that they have a whole-ass desert to build anything really eco-friendly they want, they don't have to make it an absurd skyscraper complex. I cringe so much at anything Dubai makes.
Back in the 80s, there was talk of building a gigantic pyramid that covered Tokyo bay. It would have doubled the living area of the city. This reminds me of that.
I remember the project . Around 1 or 2 million people living in the pyramid , build on water
The X seed 4000!!
Lol, my teacher found that project so amazong that he hang a poster of that project on the classroom wall.
Is this a Neon Genesis Evangelion reference?
@@infernobread8941 I would imagine it was a big part of Hideaki Anno’s inspiration for the Geo Front.
It's the Apple park but higher.
😂
More expense to pump water and move people higher
And bigger I think
Just what I was thinking! Basically a copy & paste, enlarged & put on stilts 😅
There is no reason to have it that tall, or have so few towers. The hanging transport would be very difficult to maintain, and a pointless risk to people below it. It would look great in a sci-fi computer game though.
Exactly. Great summary.
Ofc the project is crazy..but fr..i want it to become reality because of the insane enginerring behind of the project
@@kingatlar7036 right. This would be groundbreaking.
@@kingatlar7036 We could put insane engineering to something that could acutally revolutionize humanity for the better though instead of vanity projects for oil dicatorships.
for example imagine if all the money for the line, the cube and this went towards a space elevator instead.
Unfortunately our steam age economic system is getting rapidly outdated and it's spinning itself out of control, incentivizing nonsense instead of betterment.
@@fl00fydragon imagine label someone as oil dictatorship while turned blind eye when usa colonize countries for oil ....and this is not a political video so chill out with ur egoistic and hipocrisy
With skyscrapers being considered fallic symbols, this is a full on penetration
😂😂 that’s a fact
this just shows size does matter lol
I don't see how that "ring" is possible with today's materials.
It would need much stronger materials than we have now for such long spans to exist, never mind the curved cantilever aspect.
It isn't possible and even if you could build it, the whole thing would likely be condemned after a few years due to structural failure.
Exactly. It would need to have many more legs than just 4 or 5.
Guys, I know about structures and it can work. There are bridges with much larger spans and the ring helps counter balancing all the cantilevering sections. It is not an impossible project but probably one is not needed.
So how many sewerage trucks will be needed for this?
The Burg Kalifa sticking up through a circle has some phalic vibes going on They should add a water jet shooting from the top of Tower to complete the concept
+1
Who the hell is Borg Kalifa?
@@justicedemocrat9357 Ah, he just means the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. He’s just misspelt the name, that’s all.
Those spans between the 5 towers look unachievable. Surely you'd see suspension bridge like structures between each tower which would have to protrude way past the 500m mark.
Is Dubai that short on space and in need of this kind of real estate?
here is a revolutionary idea put the circle on the ground I know but here me out, a park on the ground level I know it's crazy but it might just work.
@Hammam Hraesha they’ll succeed because they copied koreas plan.. small country will alot of power and money… they are smart in that but still they are oil money families ran by rich spoiled people.. unlike in other countries where you have to earn your way to become president
There are 5 pillars and the circle has a diameter of 3000m so that's 600m of unsupported skyscraper. No freaking way that could happen.
Structurally it can work. There are bridges with much larger spans. But constructing it at that height is a big challenge.
Dubai: Useless impractical skyscrapers surrounded by empty fields of sand and a lack of human rights.
Don't forget all the untreated sewage dumped in the desert (and gulf).
@@JonMartinYXD bro not true that’s like 2004 they built one.
Not useless Acc the market there is booming rich people from around the world keep buying. Had family that bought a villa for 1.3 mill AED now it’s at 2.4 the market it hot. Also it’s safe no knife crime.
@@mohammedkhan2303 Bubble. Many properties are being bought as "investments" and never occupied.
@@mohammedkhan2303 Oh good, so it is just the sewer system they are lacking. Because they are still sending convoys of sewage filled trucks out of the city every day.
drink every time this channel tricks you into watching half of a masterworks commercial
It reminds me of NewYork's 'Big Bend' skyscraper rendering which was designed by Ioannis Oikonomou and London's 'The Tulip' tower. Architects do get bored sometimes and come up with such sick yet enjoyable ideas.
This looks like if Apple Park and the Marina Bay Sands had a weird baby.
😂😂😂
its basicaly apple park on pizza stand
Dubai is in a "most stupid urban planning" competition with itself.
Ah, mind your words…
No idiot, not with itself, in a competition with the ultimate Saudi arabia
@@shk.Khabeer-Ali Is that a threat?
Indeed, I mean, does the Burj Khalifa really need a cock ring?
gonna assassinate me like you assassinate journalists and dissidents?
This is the dumbest structure the Middle East has imagined yet. Why not just build it on the ground and use a tram to go around in the circle. Oh and hey you could use all of that space in the middle of the circle too. Isn't there a word for that idea?
The only issue I have with the B1M and Tomorrow's Build lately is that they've gone Owen Wilson on every single idea going instead of simply saying 'this is dumb and dangerous'. Just wish you'd take a page out of Adam Something's book on topics like these.
Adam Something would call this as it is: yet another project for billionaires to cast off from the rest of us.
Not convinced it makes sense, but I like the discussion around it
what conversation is it supposed to be trying to start? how many vaporware technologies can we fit into one drawing?
Ain't no way you're doing a masterworks sponsor again after all the criticism. Always been a fan but it's been long enough that these shouldn't still be in the backlog, you're just still accepting new ones. It's a scam.
They need to do a Klein bottle type building next so you can simultaneously inside and outside. Sort of like a 3D Mobius strip.
Seems like the only option left to make.
Please consider finding a new sponsor. You are using misleading figures to endorse a scheme with extremely high fees and no track record in selling art. It's no better than advertising a dodgy crypto website. It really reflects badly on you and on the B1M. It will be a disaster on your reputation when they inevitably collapse.
Anyone that falls for something that stupid deserves what they get.
"Invest in something with zero intrinsic value, that actual rich people only have valued highly for a tax dodge".
I don't mind B1M taking their money, the only people who fall for it would only have bought magic beans if they hadn't seen the advert.
Imagine there was some sort of emergency like a fire and all the inhabitants would have to escape through the same handful of staircases
500 meters... plenty of altitude for a parachute jump.
That seems to be ready for fairly extreme sea level rises 😋. BTW, epic edit of Luke Skywalker seeing this on Tatooine 😂
Haha, thanks!
Can’t wait for the Adam Something video on this 😂
Please quit promoting masterworks man. They are a shady, unregulated company and your transitions into those ads are meant to make people uneasy about their financial future. You also don’t express the risks associated. It’s completely misleading.
Imagine being in or owning a building underneath that lot....
Please mark your ads more clearly.
Blocks the view to most of Dubai's central skyline and makes even the Burj look short. That's never getting approved 😂
Not at all. It is the skyline. There has never been a more wildly creative beautiful structure conceived of or ever built. This is it, the pathway to the future
This! Maybe lower it like crazy, move it elsewhere and use it as a bases to built ANOTHER city in.
That would "make sense."
Personally I wanna see it just to say we can though
Thanks for the content.
2:25 Just remove the CARS!!
This is another smooth transition to art investment sponsorship. lol
Only if by "investment" you mean "almost a scam".
Great video 👍thanks
One of the best voices on youtube
The fact it wouldn't be centered around the Burj Kalifa upsets me to no end. God damn.
the 360° view of the entire city is not possible in Dubai. From the Burj Khalifa you cant even see the sea on most days due to all the dust in the air
Bullshit. I lived in Dubai. You can see the gulf in the distance you're full of shit
In my opinion the structure it is insanely beautiful, in any case, there are futuristic projects that will continue coming, if not this one, it will be another. When we think about the future, Dubai comes to mind.
Btw, 7:51 China and its Manhattan, I've seen it, it looks good.
The density of cities in America has gone down over the past 30 years...which isn't sustainable, but no big secret to fix it though, just allow something other than single family homes to be built
Science fiction? Then shows a scene from Star wars 😂😂
Reminds me of the movie/also now a series called 'Snowpiercer'
I think this would only work in a hot desert country where lush gardens don't exist outside. Take away the enclosed gardens this could easily just be a few superblocks like Barcelona, likely with better housing density. Aside from straddling existing skyscrapers, I don't see the benefit of sticking this on stilts. It only makes the design far more difficult, and the construction close to impossible. Also intrigued by those suspended monorail things - I feel they'd be better on the inside/side mounted.
I think it would have been cool to see a full breakdown of the theoretical construction, and pros/cons and how it compares to existing designs (beyond just Marina Bay Sands), but I know that would be a chunky video.
This would be the coolest building to ever be built, even 10x cooler than the line. Its an absolute must for Dubai 💍
When you think about it, the gulf states don't even need skyscrapers because the area is spacious compared to cities like New York, Los Angeles, Manila, etc.
Dubai is the weirdest place I’ve visited in terms of urban design.
Churros and donuts aren't gonna solve the energy crisis. It will just make us fatter.
Flawless ad integration. Maybe you think that is the find of the century, but I think it is misleading.
This building looks like something from Deus Ex
When talking about urban population now being a majority in the world, what is considered "a city" or "urban"? A certain size? A certain population density? I couldn’t find a definitive answer.
The line broke ground. That's nice. Jeddah went vertical and we see where that is. They can dig that ditch across the desert, but chances of completion, let alone inhabitants, is still hovering near 0%.
I think the circle will be harder to design then the wall . But living 30 or 50 stories off the ground seems like a neat idea with splendid views .
Dubai: *Builds the Burj Khalifa*
Saudi Arabia: No fair, I want in
Saudi Arabia: *Designs The Line, Jeddah Tower and much, much more*
Dubai: Hey don't try to steal my spotlight.
Dubai: *Designs this*
i've never before had a horrified look on my face for a solid 11 minutes. my face hurts now. seriously
Haha, sorry!
@@TomorrowsBuild i forgive you this time. lol
BRUTAL TOP VIDEO
So awesome futuristic ❤
I don’t think only four legs will be able to hold that massive ring up
I feel like we should wait a bit for the line before acting like it's absolutely happening? Remember the who jedda tower? Everyone was sure it was gonna be built, and it started, then quickly stopped.
So far, on the line, they've dug a bit of a trench and murdered/removed the people that lived there. That's quite a ways away from their floating tree mirror thing.
Yeah I doubt it will survive the next financial crisis
@@wavyy Next? I'm expecting it to stop during the one we're going through now.
When will the B1M start marking the promotional sections of the video as such? The art investment ads awkwardly injected in this and other recent videos are detracting from the otherwise good content.
WOOOWWW I SAY GREAT IDEA BUILD IT, AMAZING BRO!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤😊😊😊
I totally understand you when you imply it might be ridiculous - but as a science fiction nerd with a lifetime of futuristic cityscapes in my mind... I wish it wasn't ridiculous.
This looks more like a Minecraft base than an actual building
I bet they build it 💎❤💣
You need to start addressing the risks with masterworks in ur ads.
This makes far more sense than a needle in the clouds. Reminds me of a table with legs. IMO
Gosh that looks ugly. However if it was lower down, not obstructing the view of the Burj, maybe not.
I’m only a lowly mechanical engineer, although it’s technically possible, it’ll be unreasonably expensive to build and maintain (and money rules all). Plus, I question the soil conditions of that area to support such a weight. The foundation would be quite a mega project.
In case of fire please don’t take the train pods. Please run in this direction for half a kilometre and take stairs if you are still alive.
Damn it looks cool as hell!
Marketing at it’s finest. They will never built this. Yet 90% of the people that sees the images think they will and will say “wow Dubai is living in the future”.
Tensile stress left the group.
It's even hard to build bridges shorter than the distance shown in the design per column (or towers in that ring)
I don't hate the idea. A 3-km skyscraper would be almost entirely elevators, but a 3-km ring? That's almost entirely usable space. And, yes, this plan has the ring super-high off the ground, but does it need to be? Put it 100 meters up and it's clearing most buildings, and using all that empty airspace above them that's currently unused.
Marina Bay Sands in Singapore is still the most amazing building I've ever seen in person. The amount of engineering and architecture that was put into it resulted in a beautiful silhouette for Singapore.
Seeing the comment section, obviously this initiative has already achieved its goal - to get people talking. Obviously, if Dubai wanted to add a 15 minute city (or suburb), they'd be better off building it at ground level. Lots of space in the desert.
Holy Futuristic looking. I know this is unachievable but Holy crap when I think of a Cyberpunk city this is what I think of.
Its not at all unachievable and in fact they are going to build it
@@darealberrygarcia I doubt they are gonna build it. but then again when it comes to stupid projects that we thought were never gonna get built like Neon. low and behold construction has started.
Awesome
Is it possible to build? 500 m scafolding will colapse uder own weight?
Thats some prime dystopian shit right there.
sick 💟
One ring to rule them all
Will they have any well planned sewage treatment, or are they going to have long truck lines to remove all the poop?
Fred. You're too funny. "Put a ring on it." 🤣
The last breath of Oil and Gas is going out with a bang.
Dragon insight
The hubris on display is enough o make acemenmon blush.
I thought Dubai wanted to focus on making the city livable.
.... OK just a dream.
So it's "the line " as a circle in space.
Did you watch the video? No one is actually proposing this. It's just a render by some architects.
Structure support with huge gap between the struts is so unlikely. It's too far apart.
If you understand the question if you know the answer in contrast how big is the ring versus the Apple building and to stabilize it more put some more towers
What are u going to do when the trees brake foundation ➕️ grouw tall & not to mention watering making a mold Atmosphere.
imo this kind of building would be better suited to build on top of a forest so the forest would at least stay untouched or minimal damage to it
I really like that idea. That would also make it easier to add more support columns. It could even be built on unlevel ground.
This thing is basically a lifted apple park
Is this channel the same as B1M?
Without the actual engeneer consulting.
This is more about the future of construction, B1M is about current stuff
@@vilestine bang on 👍
Nice ring.
Many ppl are already and have been moving away from large cities and spending more time in nature rather than expensive, noisy, stressful, consumer-centric cities.
Well really we already know how to build good cities for many people: good density, public transport, good active transit (walkability and bikeability). It actually is that simple
Imagine if billionaires tried building a city just using modern buildings and public transport systems that already actually exist and therefore actually get built instead of coming up with BS like this that'll go nowhere and likely not even break ground. Like honestly get an empty bit of land and copy some nice looking 6-10 floor modern and efficient buildings, same for a basic light rail and bus network, and then just actually build it so we actually get new environmentally friendly homes. Stuff like this just makes me think of them as idiots with too much money who are just gonna blow many millions before moving onto the next project that nobody cares about. People are desperate for housing where I am, come build a basic but nice 50k modern car-free town and help solve the housing crisis.
will this one be connected to the city's sewage system, or use the waste management trucks like the burj khalifa again?
they added a sewage system long ago
These days I think policy planners and urban developers are primarily interested in building for the rich rather than the class of earners that contribute the most to the world's population, there's more emphasis on value rather than truly solving the Crux of the problem which is centered around the rising urban population and the increasingly real threat of climate change. And yea, misplaced priorities by governments around the world have been an epidemic-level problem that the world has been facing for quite a while now.
First a line. Now a circle. What’s next? A triangle.
A cube

@@emilycerto2996 Already taken in Saudi Arabia.
@@N0Xa880iUL Already being built in Las Vegas.
Hexagons are bestagons.
And down below is a mile-wide ring road so all the trucks hauling away shit won’t cause a traffic jam.
It should be built, but not at that location. They should built it at the plot of the cancelled "Dubai Pearl".
No it should be built at that exact location.... It is the skyline the world needs. This would take the cake over any other in teh entire world even Manhattan
@@darealberrygarcia Do you also get 50ct per post?

I didn't know the world's tallest building is only 400-450 metres tall. 😆
"Tomorrow's Build is owned and operated by The B1M Limited."
So I'm not cray thinking it sounds lot like B1M
Will any of these actually be finished some day?
Best of luck dubai making more big projects in up coming years
