We need some solutions in Riyadh make road bigger to reduce time we spend in our cars in the rush hours , The Rush hour starts from 6:30 am to 9:30 pm daily in Riyadh 😢
I recently saw a meme on Los Angeles and how they kept adding extra lanes on the highways. But traffic is worse than ever. Because there are more people and more cars that take up a lot of space. Hopefully with the Riyadh Metro and what I imagine will be exponential development continuing to happen in Riyadh, more investments can be made into public transportation. But right on point - there are so many existing challenges in places where people actually live!
Yeah, I believe any part of structure creating ambience Or Wow factor MUST have some sort of purpose. The massive hanging cantilevers are insane and I would be very much interested to know as to how it is sadding advantage to strength, additionally like you said without any surrounding other structures How these Towers will absorb and react to Wind pressure. Even a 30meter mast for street lights has to withstand wind pressure (atleast 180KMPH (59 m/sec) for inland area And 225KMPH (62.5 m/sec) for coastal areas. Just a thought.....
Well, technically in the Metaverse anything can be "built"... And since you brought it up, my question is: will people be willing to pay to visit places like that in the Metaverse? @@UHStudio
Looks like they are drawing inspiration from Paul Rudolph to get a retro-futuristic style. Rudolph drew a bunch of sketches like this in the 70's and 80's.
Yes! But they seem to also be pretending to build things! Like the Line. Also KSA is hosting the Asian winter games!! In Trojena. So that presumably would get built too. Qiddiya is another mega project with an F1 track sports venues, amusement park and more situated close to Riyadh in a crazy mountain range. And that's already well under construction. This project though, maybe after we see a more developed design. 270 m towers are not that crazy. But the big question is why in the middle of nowhere.
I reckon if this was a lot of buildings that joined through the cantilevers, it would work awesomely. Creating an almost scarr. I tackled the concept, and it's a bit too futuristic. But i think a city that could possibly leach up The Lines wall would work wonders.
It's not that far-fetched based on current trade articles and trade interests, but the proof is in the pudding. The true test will be in the construction of Trojena and Sindalah which will be prooves of concept for Epicon, Leyja, et al.. Trojena has a hard deadline for the 2029 Asian Winter Games, and Sindalah will lure in the investment $$$$ (to IPO in 2024) to fund The Line, Spine, Connector, Int'l Airport, etc.. That will fund investment with engineering and material R&D for extreme "zero grav" counter-lever designs.
Personally, All of the 'architecture' I have seen coming from the NEOM project has been very disapointing, 'instagram' /fast architecture. It has no sustenecnce beyond its pretty images. And that is what you will get when the project is driven by super rich spoilt dictators. I read somewhere that 'the line' was originally meant to be a circle as its far more efficent (still stupid concept) but the prince wanted to make it into a 'line' as the name sounded cooler to him. These projects have no bearing or reference to their landscapes, no architectural response to the climate (will have to be full of AC) meaning everything about them is from an 'aesthetic' point of view, which gets old qiuck. Lets hope they will run out of money soon so they can save us from this nonsense.
The ‘designers’ of this (and Norlana) have a track record of paper projects. Make pretty pictures, invoice then get out before construction stage. There is no reason to believe these projects will be any different.
Great video! I really like conceptual projects! but this one looks more just finding the woow factor as you said, and is more Clickbite graphic design image than actual architectural concepts
Thanks! Yes, I love conceptual projects as well! Two super tall towers in the middle of the desert is taking conceptual projects to a whole different level 🙂
Why are there no buildings? Because if they added it in model rendering, you will not be able to see those cantilevers. And they want you to see those, its like an artistic approach and they want us to appreciate those.
When you think about it and really look at what they are presenting, it is not WOW architecture. It is Landmark Architecture. They are actually trying to build landmarks on Earth. The picture is bigger than what we see.

The structure will be fine in the metaverse, damn you to hell Isaac Newton for inventing gravity 😏
😂 can you imagine if he didn't? Oh wait...😉
AI architecture....
Nice video - and great camera setup! These are fun quick topics to explore 🤘
Thanks. I imagine most architects have the same thoughts on this type of project. As for the setup, I am experimenting, so glad to see you like it :)

The design looks pretty outdated to me. I remember seeing this kind of structure in CGI magazines in the 80's.
Makes me think whether this would get built but in the Metaverse instead 🤔

Yes and they are beautiful. And somehow, his sketches feel like they may be showing a more real space than this concept
Can we stop pretending any of this is ever getting built looking anything like the concepts if at all
Yes! But they seem to also be pretending to build things! Like the Line. Also KSA is hosting the Asian winter games!! In Trojena. So that presumably would get built too.

Remains to be seen indeed
Ridiculous, who will go there
I am sure there would be some people. And lots of Birds :)

Very informative analysing
Thank you :)
If an Architect can not question a design intent, it probably should not exist.
st '' fu ,architecture is a dying profession, projects like these are the only one's that pay in huge
The ‘designers’ of this (and Norlana) have a track record of paper projects.
Make pretty pictures, invoice then get out before construction stage.
There is no reason to believe these projects will be any different.
Haha 😂You almost invented Moscow.
it's a Monument in the desert but livable , You can live inside it
Great video! I really like conceptual projects! but this one looks more just finding the woow factor as you said, and is more Clickbite graphic design image than actual architectural concepts

Interesting perspective :)
When you think about it and really look at what they are presenting, it is not WOW architecture. It is Landmark Architecture. They are actually trying to build landmarks on Earth. The picture is bigger than what we see.
So what is landmark architecture? 🤔
Lolololol
