What's the average lifespan of the modern skyscrapers?
12:31 I would ditch such a commodity. Adapt or die !!!
Anything beyond the 1 km high building, is fantasy and an abuse on Planet Earth, not worthen to build !!!
Having the Balls to propose the ending of your build for 2110 is impressive.
Actually, many medieval churches on a regular basis were built for around hundred of years from the start by many generations of workers. So nothing impressive about it.
Tokyo architects: Leading the world in science fiction
Man, you should see some of those megaprojects in Saudi Arabia...
I mean, aim for the stars and all that.
@petitewhitegirl hence the word, "fiction" ^up there
ORE WA GUNDAM DA!
They wanted something Godzilla and the other monsters could not destroy.
I love the concept of creating a green hiking trail on a structure. AMAZING 😍
A cage is still a cage, no matter how pretty. This is a Megablock (Dredd) but pretty.
i doubt it would work. There are several skyscrapers in my city (Vancouver) that have attempted to grow large vegetation along the outside curtain of the building and it hasn't worked. There is one infamous building here that has a tree on the top that has died and been replaced twice in the past 30 years, and costs an average of $10 thousand a year to keep it alive. Another building wanted bushes to envelope the building but not a single one of them took root. It has been 10 years now and none of them have grown. The bushes don't like the wind and harsh conditions. And then there is the weight of the soil to consider. That many trees would be HEAVY!!!
I love the idea, but when you have just 50 people hiking there a day, it will not stay green but get run down

Really insane projects! I can only imagine tragedy, if people were living on this buildings...
I actually feel like many of these are possible. Japan is running out of room despite its population declining.
Crazy insane, but cool to see our human creativity.
Creativity? Of drawing? Kids 7-10y draw/make bigger houses putting lego house next to a globe
@@TMJ0677 agree, whole video is about building castles on clouds
@@SergeiSugaroverdoseShuykov just a bullcrap for average Joe Shmoe and YTmonetization
@@SergeiSugaroverdoseShuykov You Tube in a nutshell
How many people would die trying to make those structures?...Doesn't seem worth the cost of life.
Truly spectacular proposals which are indeed truly insane!
no shit
so stupid
I remember the Sky City.
I loved the idea. I did think that it would be interesting to see it come to fruition, but shorter by about 20%.
It doesn't need to be shorter to exsist. Building it at the exact height, which is 1000 m is actually possible as there are skyscrapers in construction which their height is similar as the Sky City such as the Jeddah Tower in Saufi Arabia.
@@vinaashvicky145
Yes and no.
Height is not in fact everything. The point of building like the Sky Tower is to get as much additional floor space as possible.
Jeddah Tower and the Berj Khalifa are both compromise designs where it's more important that they be tall for the sake of being tall. They're prestige buildings above all else. Heck, Jeddah Tower's last inhabited floor is at 2/3rds of the building's height, same for the Berj. The rest is an architectural spire for the sake of breaching the 1000 meter mark.
This vastly simplifies a lot of the challenges that came with building these mega tall buildings. They're very thin so that they're under less wind stress, and heavily tapered to reduce the static load on the lower floors and foundation, and they also have to accommodate less utility traffic because there's just not all that much floor space above around 300 meters. But it also means that there's a serious point of diminishing returns in terms of the floor space you gain for each additional level after that point.
For instance -
Berj Khalifa - 3.3 million square feet of floor space
Jeddah Tower - 2.6 million square feet of floor space
. . .
Empire State Building - 2.7 million square feet of floor space
Manhattan's Grandpa aint fairing too bad against those young whipersnappers in terms of utility.
Sky city, as proposed, would have been a whopping 86 million square feet of floor space because it wasn't just tall, it was broad, and tapered very little between the ground and its highest floors.
東京に住む日本人ですが、よく調べられていて凄いです。実際には何も実現はしないと思いますが😂
Certainly some projects that you see here, seem to come out of a Futuristic Dystopia.
It's a bit scary its architecture..
90s optimism is such a cool aesthetic
I think the first 3 is within the realm of possibility within this century or after, the latter half tho...lol straight out of Japanese cyberpunk megacities, unless we finally harness the full potential of carbon nanotubes or yet to exist futuristic construction materials/tech, we won't see those within an eon. And I'm not even mentioning the financial feasibility costs of this. lol
Japan truly are great visionaries.
army of 10,000 AI robots like star trek's Data could build these towers in years.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's operational space elevator within 2075 so not very far in the future these visions will be feasible eventually
Always great to see a video of Top Luxury.
Hope Tokyo babel tower becomes a reality in the future
Japan was out there proposing insane buildings amd megaprojects long before the Middle East ever did.
Fun fact: the sky mile tower was proposed to have a similar population than the entirety of greenland!
Fun fact: tokyo has more population than Canada and nearly 1 thousand times more population than Greenland. Size of tokyo is 1000 sq^km
Size of Greenland 2400000sq^km
Size of Canada 10000000sq^km
well it is a small place
Greenland has onlý around 50 Thousand people. So not that many people.
@@bananenlimonade4541 dude. 56k people in greenland

Wachting you for two years now and your videos keep getting better! Really great renders & editing. Would love to see the Tower of Babel in real life😍
You will sooner give birth to your mother
We may see the Tokyo Tower of Babel but very very far in the future.
I could possibly believe the first two buildings could be built but the rest of them is just pure fantasy.
Love how you added crowns on top of the buildings!
That No. 2 the X-Seed 4000 was also shown in the anime called "Dimension W" a Sci-fi genre where the building is some sort of new power plant that dithces out the use of Nuclear Energy to a Modern source of power. it also serves as what you tell in the video as housing but not for all the people but for those elites and government official.
Top luxury is the best CZcams channel which serves the most tasty infrastructures videos. Very plain narration and outstanding graphics. Love from dubai.
3:17 The burj khalifa probably wouldn't even exist if this megaproject was build. Butterfly effect can be funny sometimes
That thumbnail's super skycraper Looks like a pyramid City what's awesome and skycrapers are one of reasons why i Want visit in Japan. Country of The Rising sun IS amazing. 🇯🇵
And this isn't even counting M.O.T.H.E.R., the Spiral, Seiren 21, the Millennium Tower, the Dynamic Intelligent Building, and the Holonic Tower, all of which are taller than the Tokyo Skytree.
I took the shinkansen down to Tokyo a few weeks ago, absolutely love that city!
hi I love your videos when I’m bored I say Top Luxury 😊
The pyramid is awesome!
What is amazing is that at the center of the world economy before the collapse of the bubble economy, they were not just dreaming, but seriously thinking about this concept and had the technological capability to make it possible even in an earthquake-prone country as long as they had the financial resources to do so.
They were like Arabs today, I wish the future megastructures in Arab countries don't face similar failure
@@_martian101 it will
@@Mahlak_Mriuani_Anatman hope not
X-seed looks huge and for 1 million people, meanwhile in the Warhammer 40k lore there are hive cities for 4 billion people, how enormous would those be o_O
You forget most people in Warhammer make the conditions of poor in Victorian england look comfortable
Forget the hive city, trantor itself is a planet sized city that host 40 billion people
@@_martian101 That sounds like questionable lore at best. The moon would house 230 billion people if it had the population density of the Tokyo area.
The avg. suburban population density would put the moon at around 75 Billion inhabitants.
@@sanji2158 maybe, but we only knows about the population, not the population density, you sure every building in trantor is inhabited by human?
Calculated how old I would possibly be in the year 2110 & I can almost guarantee that I won't be alive 😅😅
Almost😭
"The pyramid building is inspired by the Great Pyramid at Giza." What?! No frickin' way!
Anyway, I'm taking that second mega project wholesale for my 'City of Yesterday's Tomorrows' story concept. It's a great layout for my semi-bioshock inspired region (mostly the aesthetics and a much lighter version of the theme). I'm already using the main layout for the original EPCOT concept for my steampunk zone, so why not this too?
One day humanity will built these Kind of structures. But I think we are still a couple hundred to a thousand years away till this will become reality. The structures remind me of anthills. Its not that bad of a idea to imitate nature.
Humanity would never be able to build these buildings even in million years, but robots however, they could build it in months if not shorter, we are not the future or our planet, our robot does
ALWAYS LLOOVES these f*n Skyscrapers videos, like the tallest , Biggest, unusual looks & style. LuxuryEst ones , whats coming just the whole thing , is the BEST videos & gets me interested to watch & look for!🤘🤘👍
Impressive! 😎
earliest ive ever been on a Top Luxury video lol
Thank you
I really really wanna see the aeropolis. Its angled roofs and crystalline structure is beautiful
mano ,eu acredito que vamos conseguir contruir essas estruturas muito antes do que imaginamos
its just magic
Bangunan yang megah
I remember Sky City and the Megacity Pyramid from Discovery's Extreeme Enegineering program. It was very interesting programs to watch. I wonder if they are available today on Blu-Ray. The other projects I have never heard about before.
These are all better than the LINE project!
I'm partial to the pyramid!!! ♥️
The tower of Babel would be cool even 25% of its height. Like a giant bug using minimal surface . That would be sustainable building.
Economic Boom… not only economic 💣
It seems that a series of 'molars' (not necessarily linearly spaced) might serve longer and with far less stress.💐
These project resembles high school students playing with a 3D program.
nice hangar
the man who proposed the last project is on crack
But what an accomplishment of humanity!
wery interesting :)
15 minute cities taken to a new level
This does not mention Green Float which would not just be tall buildings but large floating islands. Hell, you could start with one and start moving the population there as it grows.
💪🏼
They've been planning these since the 90s. I remember reading about them in Asiaweek, a defunct magazine owned by time Warner
Why in the world would you plan to finish something in the year 2110... Wtf 😂 am I the only one that needs a beer after hearing that
damn needing to dig down entire mountains to have enough materials to build a building that should look like a mountain 💀humans at theyr best
Woah
A very big pyramid stucture is the way to go.
Congrats for 1m subs 🎉🎉🎉
I think these are on the small side of what we will eventually build.
I gotta go with the Pyramid for it's classic looks and being possible to build more than the other bigger projects. Still you could probably build Palm Island in Dubai for alot less and faster. However, maybe Saudi Arabia may choose to build one of these. ;-)
Japanese really love Skyscrapers!!!
Great video.
Something interesting: Not a skyscraper but still mind-blowing is the Space Elevator 😳. About 34 km tall, it would be the tallest structure ever build.
*34,000 KM
@@blueeleephant6o4t ah yes thx for the correction
12:31 I would ditch such a commodity. Adapt or die !!!
hahah..very entertaining. I will make a building that's twice the size of the Tower of Babel in the next 10 years too. I would call it The Dong.
Mirrors Edge Catalyst's "The Shard" aka sky city was inspired by the sky mile tower and sky city
These mega cities sound like the city in the Lorax movie.
Tokyo architects seem to have a habit of designing structures supported by widespread "legs" rather than being built directly on the ground. The Sky City 1000 and Tower of Babel would both be more doable if they were built with a solid core stretching from bottom to top.
Damn, I'd be dead before these buildings finished its construction
Maybe building such as X-Seed 4000 and the Tokyo Tower of Babel would go on a category even taller than the megatall skyscrapers. I think ultratall skyscrapers 😂.
Every project here makes more sense than "the Line"
Most of them look cool. Hopefully with AI and new tech, some of these will be a reality within the next 20-60 years.
Welcome the new cooperation team from Tokyo to discuss the new mega construction in Krung Angkor city and Krung Preah Beida city in the north of Cambodia together for future connect in 2024
The Tokyo Tower of Babel and the X-Seed 4000 would be perfect palaces for Darth Vader and Palpatine.
these fictions are totally insane
collect water instead of pumping water, wasn't expecting that ideal for skyscraper, make you wounder if steaming water would also be cheaper then pumping and any unused water could be use as a water fall.
It would be cheaper to build large cities (with low rise buildings) on the surface of the ocean. Each city would be supported by a series of 'core columns' that secure it to the bottom of the ocean. Also, the perimeter would be protected against large waves. This is more practical than a super tall tower.
not really. So many factors to consider in terms of mobility of pipes and wallshifts due to water levels. Not to mention what saltwater does to materials.
That HQ of Nerv 🔷
Imagine that a man so rich that the Tokyo Tower of Babel is his private house....
Tbh maybe other media does cover some of these but most mainstream media doesn't like mostly will talk only about the one that represent mount Fuji and thats it.. and they'll call it "The wildest Japans megaproject ever proposed"
Well this might be possible in the future,like planes weren’t possible100yago
😂😮das hört sich schon wieder an wie der turmbau zu babel😅
Nice concept it should stay a concept 😂
this is looks like come out from dystopian anime 😁
how the ground holds such insane weight?
MY IDEAL PLOATING BUILDING MEGA STRUCTURE ;;
I want to see if it actually will be built. They are just proposed since the early 2000, 20 years later all these projects are just ideas
still have high hops for the Tokyo Sky City
I got an idea - how about they build a flexible vertical line structure that connects to the moon?
in the next 100 years we will see things like this in every major metropolis..
It's scary. I don't want to live like that.
@@margaritatschalkina8074 i know but society never cares about peoples comfort.. they care about how much money can you make them.. sad really

You will see nothing !!! In the next decade all your fantasies will be PULVERIZED !!!
First step to build Coruscant.
*Ok let's take the time to understand how this would never work:*
So first thing I notice is that the Tokyo Tower of Babel will be 10,000 meter tall, and we know that the Burj Khalifa is 800. Thing is, The Burj Khalifa is already on the verge of touching the clouds already. So how in the heck will they be able to get past 3000 meters without having trouble breathing? It's just very confusing to understand, and also, getting over 8000 feet is already dangerous as heck so how are they going to do 5x that?!?! Oh yeah and also our troposphere ends at 33,000 feet so the building will basically be at that height, but the building will probably have some kind of pole at the op, so good luck Tokyo!!!!
These architects watched either too much anime or science fiction to envision these mega-projects.
2110 nobody that started the project would even be left alive to see it be completed.
Nice Dope ((:: 😅😇😀
Omg
Bet these would exist in some science fiction movie, like a different planet in star wars.
i dont think i can see no 1 mega projek complete in my life
There are just big residential blocks that can house like 20k ppl without turning into a giantass concrete mountain, you can prolly build a hundred of those for the price of any of the behemoths that were proposed in tokyo
I bet in future they will have buildings like these when the with rising sea levels and increasing world population.
You will see nothing !!! In the next decade all your fantasies will be PULVERIZED !!!
