I was born and raised in Milan and never heard about these buildings before. I have been riding those old trams for years, though, and they are truly something from the past which I hope will stay for as long as possible in my city.
We have them in Warsaw, built in 1960s for exactly the same reason and also on the edge of a city which is now a cramped, concrete jungle. In Polish they are called "kopulaki" which translates to "domesies". And to go even further, most of them were already built over, just like these in Milan.
This reminds me of the "Teletubbies houses" in Sleman, Yogyakarta. After the dealy 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake, the gov build dome houses as a solution for an earthquake-resistant house in Sleman area. They paint them in many colors and are now known as "the Teletubbies house" and became a tourist attraction.
Also check out Futuro houses aka the Flying Saucers. They look very cool. I can't post links in comments but this is a feat article A Map of the Last Remaining Flying Saucer Homes - Atlas Obscura
Hi Tim, I have to say thank you once again. After the recent Consonno episode which made me discover an incredible and unknown place in my region, here you come again with another surprise for a citizen of Milan like me. I live just 150m away from Milan railway central station and I had never heard before about the existence of these "igloos" in my town. For sure I will go and have a look at them. Furthermore, I can confirm that our "tram" is a very successfull vehicle and it has become also an iconic symbol of San Francisco where ten of them were exported in the thirties. Thank's to Stefania as well and tell her to let the "forcone" apart
One of those trams is now in San Francisco as part of their heritage tram fleet (which also includes several painted like historic trolley lines from around the US), as well as trams from Melbourne, Osaka, Hamburg, Moscow, and an open-air "boat tram" from Blackpool.
@@hbp_ During the summer, yes, the F line is crowded since it's a tourist trap along with a functioning trolley line. Non-summer days are less crowded.
Typically European thing to do. In my city there are post II WW neighborhood's that were intended last 5 years. You can check "Osiedle Jazdów" or "Osiedle Przyjaźń".
And all the problems that come with having to "protect" old inadequate buildings. Or like the rich people then do - "oops, it was an accident. When renovating the excavator that was bringing the cat-litter broke down the building".
San Fransisco has the "Palace of Fine Arts" which was only intended to survive through the 1915 worlds fair, and the original building survived to 1964, before it was demolished and reconstructed anew with what appears to be very little actual improvement on the survivability of the structure.
I think it depends - if the igloo design caught on and they built thousands of them, it would not be a big problem to replace most of them later one, some would still likely remain somewhere. But with just 8 pieces it definitely makes sense to keep to make sure some are protected and available for future generations to see.
Ironically, I felt that the old trams are at least as comfortable as the newer ones. The tracks are in equally bad shape for all tram types anyway, but the all-plastic inside of the newer ones is just plain ugly.
Damn, I just wrote that same reply after checking down a ways to see if anyone else had already done so. Then I kept scrolling because the comments are always so good!
@@hedgehog3180 Maybe income tax? As I recall, it was first implemented to pay for World War I, something which surely must have been accomplished by now.
Tim Traveller is one of THE best channels in YT. Where else on earth would I learn about Mushroom and Iglo houses. The narrative style of Tim is evzellent and entertaining.
I love the fact that this was recorded on some sort of lower quality video camara and YET I LOVE IT. This is pure content. Seriously. I love you Tim, cheers from an Argentine living in Munich.
A fair number of the 1500 series trams are now running in San Francisco, on the E and F lines, with their original Milan paint schemes and interiors- though the bogies have been widened for 1435mm gauge. Most of the trams running on those lines are either from Milan or old SEPTA trams from Philadelphia.
Thank you Tim for this video… of where I had lived for 20 years, and still where my family lives ! Great to see the igloos I could see everyday when I was younger
you can't put wet concrete, printed or otherwise, on a slope though. it'd collapse immediately. that's why you ever ever see concrete 3D printed straight up
The house is located in a neighborhood called Maggiolina, where they did lots of architectural experimentation, there are a lot of strange houses and villas some very pretty some less, it's nice to go there on a fresh day and wander around
Good one! Thanks to your friend for suggesting you visit! This video had everything, humor, railroads, neat architecture, references to vintage video games, and of course it had you in it! It was the perfect video! Huzzah!
1:47 Ha! Caught you! Pretenses of being like the rest of us. You and your production team came in your own luxurious company limousine, er, red builder van.
Loved the subtle details and the pitchfork joke. Many thanks again Tim! When reading out historic details you're like Simon Whistler, but even funnier.
Best humor is that one that give you something serious to think about. Like the housing crisis and the lack of cheap houses today for younger generations... thumbs up¡👍👍👍
I actually went to a very similar-feeling place recently: Burnham Block in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (USA), home to six prototypes for Frank Lloyd Wright’s abandoned prewar prefab house project. They’re quite pretty, in an “I would build this in Minecraft” sort of way, and still all in use. Though we had trouble finding all six because the one on the end has been remodeled-it still has some distinctive design elements, but the materials look very different. Also this was from before FLW became an asshole architecture diva with no actual concern for the livability of his homes, so I feel okay getting excited about them.
Never thought my home town would be referenced even in the COMMENTS of a Tim Traveller video! And yes, the FLW houses here are actually quite pleasant. They're the kind of architecture I'd like to see more of, though we end up getting... well... more apartment blocks.
One of his giant domes still exists in Montreal where it was erected as the US pavilion for Expo 67, the international world fair held here in, you guessed it, 1967
Cheapy and quickly built homes at 4:30 First its Red Road Flats in Glasgow which when blown up two towers failed to collapse. Then its Park Hill Estate in Sheffield, now Grade II* listed, then its somewhere in Eastern Europe by the looks of it!
I love unusual homes like this. Have you been to the cube houses in Rotterdam? If not, you might like to, when I went, one of them was open as a show house, so we got to see inside.
I was so enthralled at your commentary, I had to watch it again to hear your always excellent music - good job I did because I was about to base my entire thesis on this video until I saw your warning. I'll probably use it anyway.
A bit offtopic maybe, but I have one of these synchronicities going on: On Friday, a friend unexpectedly took me to see a monument to Don Juan of Austria (Victor of Lepanto, 1571), yesterday for a school project I had to look up Pope Pius V. (turns out he was the instigator of Lepanto, 1571) and now Tim takes us to the Via Lepanto in Milan.
Hi Tim, your videos are of such great quality, and I especially love how your sense of humour extends to your musical selections. You are doing so much for the mental health of people in lockdown, keep up the great work 👏👏👏
In the Netherlands we have cube houses in Helmond and Rotterdam and Spherical houses ‘Bolwoningen’ in ‘s Hertogenbosch. Rotterdam is an architectural wonderland. Helmond and Den Bosch are not that far apart cities in the province of North Brabant.
HOW THE HELL DID I MISS THE 1500 SERIES TRAM! My father was stationed at Aviano Air Base (In Aviano, near Pordenone) in the early 80's. My parents would periodically go down to Milan for the open air market day, and take us kids. I never saw that tram! We'd drive down, park, walk around a bit, then head back home. AAARRRGGG!!! [EDIT] I did get to eat pastries from some of the shops there. So, there is that. (And I do want to go back.)
I used to catch one of those Milan trams to work, in San Francisco. Tim really needs to visit California some day, not just for the many-ways-remarkable transport in SF, but for the mediocre mountains, like the Sutter Buttes. (There are fabulous mountains, too, but other RUclipsrs will handle those. 😉)
Yes, I rode a vintage Milan tram on the F-line in San Francisco years ago, along with a variety of other interesting and authentic vintage trams/streetcars on that route!
@@zanelindsay1267 I've ridden Melbourne trams on the E and F lines, just like the ones I actually rode as a kid, the first time I visited Melbourne. It's awesome.
The music in this episode is top notch! Absolutely loved the Grand Designs music, that was a great touch. And in relation to the video as a whole, architecture is fascinating sometimes.
Nothing like an unfinished word to spark my curiosity … forcone = pitchfork? Since you didn’t finish the C word, I’m guessing the phrase means something naughty?
@@kmw4359 I mean, in English I believe is a "sometimes" naughty word - as George Carlin put it. It's just that Tim didn't say it, so I went along with him. (btw, the expression translated would be "a pitchfork in the a...")
As always hugely entertaining and educational - You have surpassed yourself this time with the clever choice of music/themes, I nearly spat cofffe over the screen with the "Grand Designs" tune !
3:22 That second long hard-cut audio of crowd cheering to represent the celebration of the end of World War II had me cracking up. The slideshow of photos of war-torn buildings with cheerful piano music also really helped.
That's what I love your videos for. I mean, I might stumbled across the Wikipedia article about these houses one day, but your video is much more entertaining (and still telling me the story)
Never has Tim traveller had a bad episode.
We all have bad episodes, why would Tim want to film it though? Just stay home and call the doctor.
Dunno he’s spent a fair amount of time in Germany, I’m sure he’s got some Bad episodes there

I notice background music on two occasions, it's too awful or it's really good. And your attention to detail made this really good.
Came here for this comment. The music consists of at least 120% of these videos' quality.
Allegedly, the architect responsible for the preservation of the remaining iglo's in the 1960's is called Luigi Figini.
Haha you made that up.
igloos*
@@althejazzman Nope. He's definitely real.
@@Charlienmeg Well, he was a real architect anyway
@@ltlbuddha That's all I said. Not making any claims 👍
I was born and raised in Milan and never heard about these buildings before. I have been riding those old trams for years, though, and they are truly something from the past which I hope will stay for as long as possible in my city.
Excellent - I nearly spat out my tea when the “mario growing because he ate a mushroom noise” appeared!
The Italians certainly had classy prefabs!
The music was excellent this video! (It is always good and I'm impressed that Tim plays it himself too!)
I like the (tourist-)bus in the beginning with "Timvision" written on it. And the rest of the video of course.
And the car at 1:46 with "Tim" written on the side.
Good eye.
In San Marino I saw a Tim traveling agency
Tim is Italy's state telephone company
“The Igloos of Milan” sounds a bit like an episode of Doctor Who. Nice!
We have them in Warsaw, built in 1960s for exactly the same reason and also on the edge of a city which is now a cramped, concrete jungle. In Polish they are called "kopulaki" which translates to "domesies". And to go even further, most of them were already built over, just like these in Milan.
This reminds me of the "Teletubbies houses" in Sleman, Yogyakarta.
After the dealy 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake, the gov build dome houses as a solution for an earthquake-resistant house in Sleman area.
They paint them in many colors and are now known as "the Teletubbies house" and became a tourist attraction.

The "grand designs" theme is genius .
Anyone noticed the red TIM-van at 1:46 - I don't think it is in the video by accident
Yeup!
It's Tim[e]mobile
Hi Tim, I have to say thank you once again.
After the recent Consonno episode which made me discover an incredible and unknown place in my region, here you come again with another surprise for a citizen of Milan like me.
I live just 150m away from Milan railway central station and I had never heard before about the existence of these "igloos" in my town. For sure I will go and have a look at them.
Furthermore, I can confirm that our "tram" is a very successfull vehicle and it has become also an iconic symbol of San Francisco where ten of them were exported in the thirties.
Thank's to Stefania as well and tell her to let the "forcone" apart
One of those trams is now in San Francisco as part of their heritage tram fleet (which also includes several painted like historic trolley lines from around the US), as well as trams from Melbourne, Osaka, Hamburg, Moscow, and an open-air "boat tram" from Blackpool.
The MUNI F line traveling Market Street.
Came here to mention that. They are a lot of fun to ride, and very beautiful.
@@LadyAnuB oh, I have seen that. It used to be always horribly overcrowded but perhaps not during these times.
@@hbp_ During the summer, yes, the F line is crowded since it's a tourist trap along with a functioning trolley line. Non-summer days are less crowded.
I'm going to assume the problem they were meant to solve was dust piling into corners of rooms.
I took the same tram in 2006, so well preserved, yet travelling along super modern ones.
I love your piano music, you always put so many references in it and it sounds quite professional! Your videos really gain from that.
I heard some Pingu-music in this episode about igloos
He plays in a proper band so it must be proffesional :D
While we're at it: What is the tune at 2:01 which my brain knows but refuses to recognize?
As a Canadian, this video really speaks to me.
Also those trams are gorgeous. The interior is so well maintained while remaining original in design
I really enjoy your content and your humor.
This was a particularly entertaining episode. Well done, Tim!
I’m from Milan and never knew about them! Of course that’s going to be the destination of my next free afternoon spent in town. Thanks!
No mention of the plumbing systems in these homes and whether they can be used to access secret cellars?
I got three of the musical references this time! That feels like an accomplishment.
Loved it, Humor, Knowledge, and History are all on point!! Had a good laugh. For sure a place to pass by when in Milan.
Protecting houses which were designed to be taken apart is a bit mad alright, but I'm delighted they are protected. Thanks for showing them to us.
Typically European thing to do.
In my city there are post II WW neighborhood's that were intended last 5 years. You can check "Osiedle Jazdów" or "Osiedle Przyjaźń".

The Eiffel Tower was designed as a temporary structure, but thank god they decided to keep that

But with just 8 pieces it definitely makes sense to keep to make sure some are protected and available for future generations to see.
I spent a day in Milan just taking all the diferent trams and metros, so yeah, you know your audience
I lived in Milano for nine months. I don't recall ever taking a tram. ;)
Never saw any igloos either. :(
I go to Milan daily for university. This is the first time I hear about the igloos.
Pulling a Geoff Marshall.
Ironically, I felt that the old trams are at least as comfortable as the newer ones. The tracks are in equally bad shape for all tram types anyway, but the all-plastic inside of the newer ones is just plain ugly.
That tram is so damn spacious, those are some lucky riders.
20 seats and 200 standees, very approximately. Pre-pandemic, anyway!
@@atraindriver Trams rarely get too crowded in Milano except in the very very centre which locals avoid anyway, most people use metro
More Milan trams please. Railway lines. Igloos. Dodgy smartphone video. Brilliant. Cheers Tim.
"There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution" quote from someone the internet is not sure about.
Damn, I just wrote that same reply after checking down a ways to see if anyone else had already done so. Then I kept scrolling because the comments are always so good!

I wonder what the longest temporary solution is.

I loved the Grand Design theme in the background, & the Dad's theme.
The main theme from "Pingu" at 4:43 ! Well done !
Cracked up at the Italian middle class family name of Secchiello (Bucket/Bouquet)
Fascinating video, as always
4:15 - 4:28 the conversation of Riccardo and Gianita with a stick british accent killed me!
Brilliant as always, I couldn't get Ian Dury's "Reasons to be Cheerful" out of my head, the Igloos of Milan fit in perfectly !!!
Loved the “Dad’s Army” theme in the background 😊
And Grand Designs!
And the mario bros theme. Tim's music choices were exceptional for this one.
A fair number of the 1500 series trams are now running in San Francisco, on the E and F lines, with their original Milan paint schemes and interiors- though the bogies have been widened for 1435mm gauge. Most of the trams running on those lines are either from Milan or old SEPTA trams from Philadelphia.
Mario designed the igloos out of basic necessity however he just created the mushrooms because he was a fun guy..
🥇
That was a peach of a joke!
🤣😂
Despite differences in spelling, both Latin and Italian pronounce that as [fuŋgi], not [fʌŋɡɑːɪ].
Thank you Tim for this video… of where I had lived for 20 years, and still where my family lives ! Great to see the igloos I could see everyday when I was younger
This looks like a great design for 3D printed homes. 🤔
ESA has some studies for building or more printing structures on the Moon and they look not that far off
@@enisra_bowman China has some printed concrete houses that look pretty good, I haven't heard or seen any follow up on them though.
you can't put wet concrete, printed or otherwise, on a slope though. it'd collapse immediately. that's why you ever ever see concrete 3D printed straight up
ruclips.net/video/b7pPQr6ULGs/видео.html
A lot of companies and universities are experimenting with 3D printed houses. They are building a testcase just a few blocks away from where I live.
The house is located in a neighborhood called Maggiolina, where they did lots of architectural experimentation, there are a lot of strange houses and villas some very pretty some less, it's nice to go there on a fresh day and wander around
Love the music from 2:01 onward :)
Love the little piano cue at the mushroom house-Mario realization moment. Bravo, sir!
I can't even point out my favorite scene in this episode, because it's great in its entirety. Amazing work!
Love your content. I especially enjoy the quirky and unconventional architecture. Please keep up the good work.

@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 I was there visiting my grandparents, but cool :) Small world.
You absolutely KILLED the Mario theme. Such piano talent.
Reminds me of Buckminster Fuller’s ideas of using geodesic domes for everything. Plus of course, the “Dymaxion House”.
One of his giant domes still exists in Montreal where it was erected as the US pavilion for Expo 67, the international world fair held here in, you guessed it, 1967
