I thought the video was great and well made, with great explanations. I prefer the first design. I just wanted to point out that you mention that Melbourne rejected the tower twice... whilst possibly correct for the first tower, the main reason the second tower didn't go ahead was due to Grollo / Grocon lack of finances, it had most of the approvals already in place.

So pleased that people of Melbourne stopped this from being built. We knew back then how much of a problem global warming was, and endless growth was insane. I guess we lost on that one. Still so many engineers head over heals in love with themselves and their full cab Hilux, their children will die young from asphyxiation or drowning. Good one boys. The other issue was that Grollo was a bit sus. Some said he was mafioso. No one could see why he should become richer. That's the real reasons. How stupider we get, year, after year, after year. Don't leave home without your sunscreen.

Thank you for sharing. These days, the design of skyscrapers is definitely trending towards sustainability. Every aspect of the building, from the construction materials used, to electrical and HVAC systems, are analysed in detail to minimise the carbon footprint across the entire life of the building, from construction to eventual demolition. In fact, a popular new trend is rennovating old skyscrapers instead of demolishing them; see Quay Quarter Tower, formerly the AMP Centre, in Sydney.

2 buildings , one 50 floors and one 49. 49 sticks a 5 storey high antenna on top,,,, which is the tallest building ?
@Contraflex
15 күн бұрын
According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (the organisation who maintains the rankings of the world's tallest buildings), an antenna is not counted when considering the "Height to Architectural Top", which is the metric used for the rankings. So in your example, the 50 storey tower would be taller to the architectural top, and thus the taller building. However, if the antenna was an architectural spire, then it's height would be counted the 49 storey building would be considered taller. Some people prefer to consider only the height to the "Highest Occupied Floor", in which case the 50 storey building would win. So, your question is difficult to answer and depends on who you ask.

Only male developers care about competing in phallic symbol measuring contests. The general public rightly doesn't give a damn. The fact that places like Dubai care deeply about such materialistic ego-driven pursuits, says a lot. Our communal, emotional, interaction spaces are on the ground, not perched on level X of a glass and concrete monstrosity.

I didn't model the fire escape stairs, although they definitely would have been a part of the core. The Burj Khalifa has a whopping 57 elevators, it makes sense when you think about how many people work/live in these buildings, how far the elevators travel, and the goal of minimising waiting times.
