Would you like to see these skyscryapers become a reality? 😄 Which one is your favorite?
I would like to see the Illinois, i still wonder how 1950s facade would looks like, on such a futuristic skyscraper.
All of them
The Illinois but it would have to have some modern renovations because I don’t trust 50s-60s tech to support that size of a building.
I want to see illinois so bad
I liked the last one, I would like to see it as a reality
That Illinois tower looks really modern for our days, even somewhat futuristic. Incredible to think that it was designed in the 50s by a man born in 1867. Truly far ahead of its time.
beyond ahead of it's time, i wonder if any country would challenge it!😂
I honestly wonder if this would have been feasible. A mile high building is almost double what we have now. The architecture and engineering of the Burj Khalifa is genius, but I’m not sure how much higher we can safely go. One mile is a lot in a building. That’s asking for trouble.
@@georgen5882I agree
The Illinois is really cool, I hope someone is crazy enough to build it someday
I think out of all of them frank Lloyd's building would be a game changer as not only his concept is now being used in all modern skyscrapers but the concept of following nature is sound and can actually work to create a strong and sturdy building and it would be a monument and testament to Lloyd's genius and creativity as his building looks entirely unique while most skyscrapers are beginning to all look the same much like most suvs these days.
Little did Frank Lloyd Wright know, but he might have envisioned the first arcology. An arcology is a building or small compound with all the facilities of a typical town and produces at least most of its own food and power.
frank was the greatest architecural mind ever.
I hope someday, we will see Lloyd's: Illinois skyscrapers, build with modern technology.
This would mean, that we would see new sky race between New York and Chicago.
New York is limited by the size of the island, you’d have to either demolish older buildings or drain the bay to make that possible.
Bro I want The Illinois Tower so bad. I'm an hour away from chicago and just driving towards that would be insane. Imagine looking out at everything from the top, you would truly be on top of the world.
beyond ahead of it's time, i wonder if any country would challenge it!😂
@@LexlutherVII Even today thats quite a challenge to build, imagine in the 50s
What you forgot was the Chicago Spire. As copied from elsewhere .. "The Chicago Spire was a skyscraper project in Chicago that was partially built between 2007 and 2008 before being cancelled. Located at 400 N. Lake Shore Drive, it would have stood 2,000 feet (610 m) high with 150 floors and been the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere." Oh I remember this well. I remember the start of the construction (basically digging the foundation). And they got the hole dug and the pilings pushed into the ground and were about to start and then .. Great Recession. The money dried up, the Irish Bank that had been the primary funder collapsed and had to be nationalized / saved by Ireland, people started filing lawsuits over unpaid money and *poof* up in smoke. All that exists now is the Chicago Spire hole .. the foundation drilled into the ground that has filled with water over time. And the court fights are still going on to this day.
True! The Chicago Spire reminds me of the India Tower. They both were started around the same time (okay, maybe a year or 2 apart), and eventually two smaller towers were proposed. I saw the proposals for the towers in the Chicago Spire site. Granted, I really want the Chicago Spire, but the two towers look nice. Of course, the 2 towers could be cancelled and something new proposed.
yep
Damn 2008 panic
Unfortunately, most mega projects are never implemented
Yes. Huge cost, Mountainous resources required, And Maintenance, all combine could cost them nearly 2% of USA's GDP
That's because they're dumb projects.
Unfortunately most development is unfortunate.
Frank Lloyd Wright truly was a man ahead of his time. His changes on house layouts and overall design alone are noteworthy enough to make him one of the finest architects in world history.
Even after living in Mumbai, I didn't know about India Tower. Great video tbh.
Ps - There was another halted skyscraper called Palais Royale in Mumbai which was supposed to be tallest building in India
But the India Tower would be taller!
I knew about it and was waiting for it eagerly then later got to know that it stopped.
My favorite was the Azerbaijani Tower. My 2nd favorite is the Dubai City Tower. While structural engineering has advanced to the point of making a mile high tower feasible, I'm still looking forward to something like the x-seed 4000 in Japan being proposed and actually built.
i think the Dubai City Tower is insane. I really want to see it in my country, or anywhere in the world. I love it!
Even though these buildings never got to exist on computers, they look beautiful
Wow love this video😍 Your Quality gets better and better!
Thank you so much 🤗
Instead of India tower, Mumbai gets Antilia as it’s symbol. 😂
Gateway of India?
Nah that symbol just represents how capitalism and inequality is just more of a thing in India
@@CreateCG1bro may you please respect them? They probably made a mistake and disrespecting a nation and a person isn’t a way to solve it thx! 😊
@@CreateCG1 no worries 😉 you did good by apologizing!
But bro there are many things here! What country u from?
I really would love to see those Skyscrapers build...my personal favorite is the Dubai City Tower...as I read it in the Internet the Dubai City Tower was just an Project for study how to build Skyscrapers this tall. And it was an Computer created Idea without having an Architect.
in the city of BALNEÁRIO CAMBORIÚ BRAZIL, Thriump Tower, the largest residential skyscraper on earth is under construction with 154 floors and 544 meters to the roof, which would be the second tallest skyscraper on earth to the roof, being the largest skyscraper in America and the western and southern hemispheres
Just proposed
I'm from Azerbaijani and I'm glad that the Azerbaijan tower was discussed
Some of them would be awesome to see
A great weekend is a Top Luxury video in HDR that is for sure.
i really do hope that in the future, the dubai city tower can be a reality when i see it
200 km/h is pretty fast for an elevator, especially when you're going down 😂
Free orgasm on the way😂
An elevator that gives you a space experience, that would be a fun lol
Thankfully they could simply accelerate before going 200 kmh, so you don't die of death
Lovely video as always
Thank you !🤗
I read about the Illinois tower in "The Living City" by Frank LLoyd Wright. I always thought it was a perfect idea and Chicago was the perfect city to house it. I would still like to see that one built.
All of them 🤩
all of them are amazing but the most stunning would be the illinois tower so nice shape.
it looks scary, it gave me nightmares 😥
The Dubai City Tower looks crazy. How are those guys gonna build an 8000ft tower?
Honestly I don’t know. I guess if they engineer it similar to the Burj Khalifa, just in a larger scale, it “could” work. It honestly sounds like a disaster in the making. Like the top is going to get sheared off at one point due to wind and structural damage. Buildings are designed to withstand a certain amount of deflection, but at that height it might be too much. The Burj Khalifa is said to have about 3-6 feet of deflection at the top floors, and that building would be almost 1/3 the size of this one. The air here thinner the higher you go, so maybe it isn’t the main problem, but that’s some serious load to bear and distribute, wind sheer to account for. I don’t know man. This isn’t Star Wars.
Video turned out WAY better than I thought.
Awesome projects! Can't wait to see the final result.
Top luxury video at 720p is just a feat to eyes and brain
Very nice content ❤
great vid as always!
Thank you for your support! 💛
As a European I start getting nauseous on like the 6th floor, I've never lived above a 4th floor and it was always the last level of the building. I got altitude sickness at the Atomium in Brussels which isn't even that tall so I'll be enjoying these mega structures from the outside
you should be forced on living at the 200th floor😂
@@lubex3486what do you have against mariepanettieri2990 !?
Back in the 80's I stood atop one of the towers of the World Trade Center in NYC.
It's so high up it doesn't even feel real. And it was the weirdest thing looking down on all the other skyscrapers around it.
Most of those proposed buildings should be made but much smaller.
The Illinois in my hometown would have been spectacular!!
Uh I subscribed By The way love your videos
The Indian sky crapper was well designed, hope it will come and be built🎉❤
Great video! It would be fascinating to see any of these built, but the Frank Lloyd Wright concept is definitely the best!!! Nature knows how to make big things! 😎
beyond ahead of it's time, i wonder if any country would challenge it!😂
Top Luxury is my bed time story teller... ❤😴
Useful for me
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE DUBAI CITY TOWER!
Dubai City Tower is very Beutiful Tover!!!
😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
Sir can you give me permission for use some part's of your video for making fact video
Thank you video interesting.
As Indian I didn't know Mumbai to had this big Building project but I don't know if it is going to continue or not
I'm starting a new era of tall buildings,
and there is no other possibility of technology like mine, and by the way, the video is nice, greetings
Wow this video is nice you are a good video maker ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
would luv to see them
Grollo Tower (Melbourne) should’ve been included in this. Although the tower was not built, the tower was instead built much higher which we now know as the Burj Khalifa
Dubai City Tower needs to be built big time.
Okay I just cannot get over how the music in this video is a nearly note-for-note plagiarism of the Downton Abbey theme 😂
But really, amazing video! These projects never cease to fascinate me. There are so many projects in the works today that will likely be in a follow-up video years from now.
Ngl that the India Tower looks very likable despite the damn height
The one in Chicago deserves justice, I'd love to see that building come to life
Fr
What about Antonio Gaudis NYC skyscraper. AMAZING
what about Tokyo Tower of Babel, X-Seed 4000, Tokyo mega pyramid and Ultima Tower?
My favorite is Dubai city because it looks so cool
I’m subbed
It’s really really sad that some of the skyscrapers make the good old popular ones tiny😢

my favourate skyscryaper out of all of them is the dubai city tower i would love the dubai city tower to become a reality😀
jeddah tower left the chat
They are building it so that's y it's not there
I’m pretty mad that the Illinois Tower wasn’t built, I go to Chicago every year and would be so cool to drive by.
beyond ahead of it's time, i wonder if any country would challenge it!😂
I want to see the Illinois and the Dubai city tower❤
Believe me Dubai it can it's crazy enough to build a unbelievable megaprojects 🙂💔
My favorite building out of all is the Dubai city tower i want to see it and i want it to become a reality.😍😄
About as achievable as 'The Line'. Crazy thinking.
When I was in Dubai someone said to me. This is going to be bigger than NYC when its finished. My reply to him was this. No one will ever write songs about Dubai that the world will know. Dubai will not have culture that is comparable to NYC and finally. Nothing will ever be exported to the rest of the world from the UAE.
if Illinois was built then - we would have seen way differnt and taller towers by now. but alas, sometimes some people are way ahead of their time.
I want these buildings to be a reality
😅
yes, for sure
the illinois looked so modern and sleek considering that it was designed in the 1950s. and all the buildings then were just rectangular prisms
nice view
Yes, I liked the last one
how did you possibly forget the biggest one ever? back in i think 1987 or 1989 ish. Japan propsed a super city sky scarper that the base would take up an entier island, and that the total height would be 6,667 feet tall, nearly 1.3 miles and it was going to take 25 years to build
X seed 4000 i presume?
yes that would be it@@KotaroK99
@@KotaroK99 i think it was the tower with a hexagonal shape being 1 mile high going on artificial islands
@@mofi_lki yep
The Illinois is very ambitious for that time. It even looks too futurestic for our time. It would have been the world's first megatall skyscraper if it was ever built.
Yes i would love to.
I've been to the highest point they allow you to go in the Burj Khalifa and it is a truly amazing building. Personally, every country trying to one-up each other, as far as tallest building goes, seems like a waste. There are plenty of other buildings in Dubai that are amazing and a fraction of the height of the Burj Khalifa. I am also someone who would never want to live in a skyscraper.
I want to see all of them ,😮
I want to see the Illinois Tower❤
India tower fails not because of slow down of economy its because there is an airport and the airport authority don't allow this to happen
The fact that this wasn't first thought of is funny to me. Brilliant people who can build such things forgot to think of this small but huge detail
The India Tower was being constructed far away from Mumbai Airport than Burj Khalifa is from Dubai Airport. Still it's the AAI which always comes inbetween even if you come over the red tape culture in civil sector
7:11: And how long would it take to build a 3,500ft tower?
I wish the dubai city tower was made by now but let's hope in the future that I will be built❤😊
Elevator with the speed of a bullet train sounds like zero-gravity experience when going down from top floor if there are no stops in between; in reality, no matter how fast the elevator moves, stops in between floors are the factor that might make the trip from seconds of minutes.
It would bend time
The pearl would be a cool tower from the move skyscraper
😭hope that buildings will build in the future
I was pleased to see Frank Lloyd Wright's Illinois tower in your compilation. I would have been disappointed had it been excluded. Forget the rest - they are generic things, all of which could reasonably have been constructed in any major city because they lack cultural identification. Once upon a time Foster Associates designed a magnificent high rise building that suited a particular location at a particular time - it was the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. Now they design a nondescript needle with a vague claim to national identity that could be applied to any major city. That's the problem with the modern high rise building - their locations are as interchangeable as the architects that put them there
I'd would want these buildings to be a reality
First time hearing the Dubai city
nobody people going from the top of Dubai city tower to the bottom of it: I'VE BEEN FALLING FOR 30 MINUTES!
I want these towers to be a reality
I honestly really wish the Illinois tower would of became a thing
Moz definitely the Kore building 😮
Hi. You should make some videos on indian ( anything ). Trust me. It will be your highest viewing video. Love you from Indian
I’m really excited to see the Jeddah tower
It's abandonned, will never be completed
@@J.c410 nope, it's revived
Great video. I just wanted to give some constructive feedback as I really like your channel, but this probably isn't the best title for the video as it doesn't really make sense. What I mean by that is these towers all exist in a way -- if a concept car never made it into production, I wouldn't say it "never existed", it just never came to fruition. I don't mean to nitpick, just thought I'd offer my 2 cents. Keep up the great work!
my favourate one is the dubai city tower
I would like the Dubai city tower 0:38
My favorite absolutley insane skyscraper is the tokyo tower of babel
yessssssssss
yes please
