The $3BN Feng Shui Skyscraper Fixing Hong Kong's Skyline

Ah yes, every window bespoke, complicated and incredibly expensive. That definitely won't cause problems in the future.

As a longtime B1M subscriber, I'm disappointed with the recent videos. They feel more like software ads than the detailed construction content I loved. This video needed more depth and time, but it felt rushed and rather superficial.

Fells like there are 5-10 minutes missing from this video.

Seele is also the company which produces the glass domes of the new Stuttgart underground central station which is part of the S21 infrastructure project.

Interesting subject. Unfortunate it was basically a just a big Dassault infomertial.

How will any damaged curved glass panels be replaced a few years from now? "There are only two suppliers in the world". I'm sure duplicates of all curved surfaces weren't produced before construction because of cost. This design carries a unique risk. Even if the probability of future panel damage is low it's still an unmanaged risk. Typhoons happen. High winds pick things up and fling them into buildings.

Why have a misleading thumbnail like that? It gives off the wrong impression in regards to what the video is about IMO. I liked the video (watched it fully) but the thumbnail gives me the impression that it's meant to be clickbait and not to accurately represent the angle of the video. Edit: They changed it, it isn't misleading anymore now. For the record, the thumbnail before featured two images of the skyscraper: one titled "render" looking very shiny and futuristic, and the other titled "reality" which was the building when it was under construction without reflective surfaces - suggesting they did a bad job or didn't finish it.

Dude that building design was used for multiple proposals including one in Melbourne so don't tell me that they were inspired by some hong Kong stuff.

I get making money from youtube, but honestly i´d prefer a sponsor segment instead of disguised 10 min long commercials with litttle to no value

Interesting to see how bamboo scaffolding is still used in Hong Kong even for a construction project of this scale.

CATIA should really do an Autodesk and let students get easy and free access to their software (with full tutorials), they will eventually be your paying customers and you need a large group of expert users to become a common industry standard. If you gatekeep and nickel and dime them they will only learn the software if someone else is paying for it and sugar daddies/mommies in construction are in short supply.  From the videos I have seen it's a very impressive piece of software that architects should have been using all along. Just difficult to find when you're a student, so you will go with what is easily available, free and what your peers use. We all know how much degrees in architecture cost along with the other costs associated with it. Most students will not be spending money on extra software they will have to pay for anyway if they have their own practice.

Unfortunately i feel the quality of content is slipping recently which is so sad

It's very cool, and I'm very glad that's it built in a place I'm not living 🙂

Precision, precision, precision. What does that even mean in the context of CAD software? Does it have more numbers behind the decimal point?

This channel is becoming more and more like an infomercial. It’s not what drew me to it but it is what will drive me away…

While we know there is a need for commercialization, I also get the sense recently that the PRC is also bankrolling things at the B1M as well…

I can't believe it... Architects from zaha hadid has a IKEA kallax?

There was a Financial Times article from last week saying that the occupancy rate of this building is very low. In fact, Hong Kong's prime office occupancy rate has declined rapidly recently. When this building was initially planned, they didn't expect the decline of Hong Kong as a financial hub.

I saw it in hk yesterday and it is really amazing and magnificent.

lots of locals think this thing looks like a fleshlight source: lives here
