Hi everyone, the vertical aspect used in this video was intentional. We thought it might be an interesting way to frame this piece, since it's specifically about skyscrapers. We understand a vertical aspect ratio isn't for everyone - don't worry, it's not something we'll be doing often. But it's important to us that we keep experimenting on our channel, so that we can keep pushing our work forward. This was a case where we took a risk by trying something new, so thanks for bearing with us and for leaving your feedback. And thanks for watching our videos! 🌻
I went to a lecture by the lead SOM engineer on what was then called the Burj Dubai. He made a joke that they let the Architects pick out the drapes so they would feel involved. Yeah, the form of modern skyscrappers is driven almost entirely by engineers, not architects.

As a practitioner in the field and is no longer a student, yes the engineers does major and crucial work in the consultative phase but the architect signs the initial and final phase of the design

Next time could you make a video about how Dubai buildings have a complex system of pumping water throughout the building to keep it from melting, that would be pretty interesting.
No it isn't. We aren't on a vertical screen. WE ARE WATCHING ON A FRICKIN 1080P MONITOR (most viewers) Usually 22in or similar. Some people even have 4k and ultrawide displays which will not be a great experience for them. We are not in 2008 with 1024x768/1280x1024 displays. We are in 2019 with cheap 1920x1080 monitors and 16:9 smartphones.

Not only is this a vertical video, it's a weird one. It's not 9:16 or even 3:4, it's about 1.3 times taller than wide (i.e. even more square than 3:4).

Some highrise can move up to 1 meter lateral drift ! Some other have felt acceleration uncomfortable! Structural dynamic engineering is important part of design of these buildings
It's not commonly known, but a lot of the work that goes into these solutions is done by structural/architectural engineers. The architect will certainly have input and direct the creative vision (we want a hole, or a twist, or none of the above) but it's the engineers who design and implement the solution (how big the hole is and where it goes, how much of a twist, what size damper will be needed, etc). Sometimes this causes some of the design to be dictated by the engineers as the architect's desired solution (due to aesthetics) will sometimes simply not be possible given the other aspects of the design. And sometimes the architect doesn't initially know there is a problem that needs to be addressed (like high wind velocities) until the engineers do their work and inform the architects that something needs to be done (like in the Taipei 101 example). And to be clear, I'm not trying belittle architects, they work very hard on their part of a project. It's just that the design and construction of structures like these involves a team of companies all with their own areas of expertise, and the majority of what was convered in this video falls under the purview of the structural/architectural engineer. Aside from that minor complaint, thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it! I even thought the vertical aspect ratio was kind of neat.
I actually think it’s cool and fits into the topic to make a vertical video! All the graphic explanation was shown more clearly in this direction. Lastly, it was a fresh watching experience via a phone. I like it!
Structural engineers provide tuned mass dampers to reduce the wind-induced accelerations in buildings for occupant comforts and not for seismic protections. I design high rise buildings in earthquake-prone regions like the US west coast and in no tall building, you will see tuned mass dampers as a seismic solution. Because buildings respond at different frequencies while tuned mass damper can help a building at one particular frequency, it becomes useless in earthquakes as the response of a building is more often at high frequencies rather than primary frequency that the TMD was tuned to. A much more efficient solution is using viscous dampers. Even in TAIPEI 101, the dampers excitation during an earthquake was inconsistent again because of the high-frequency nature of the ground motions. The engineers themselves would not have counted the damper as the source of energy dissipation in seismic excitation.
Aerodynamicist here. The spiral shape isn't about redirecting the airflow up or down. It's about preventing the vortex formation from having the same frequency along the length of the tower. It prevents the vortices along the height of the tower from working together to shake it. Instead they end working against each other, which reduces the structural loading. This is why the Burj Khalifa is brilliant, it uses all of the techniques mentioned, from tapering, to terraces that form a spiral pattern to reduce the effect of wind in the tower.
I have to design a skyscraper for my arch design class so this was very informative. Here's a summary for people who'd like a tl:dr Skyscrapers have to go against the wind. These methods help: 1. Tapering (the skyscraper gets more skinny as it ascends higher in the sky like the shard - No hard edges since they aren't good on wind, so you'll often see skyscrapers with round corners - Small cut out in the corners - Sawtooth corners like Taipei 101 - Reduces movement by 25 percent 2. Openings - Kingdom Centre in Saudi Arabia - Shanghai World Financial Center - 432 Park Avenue in NY has several double-floor cutouts that allow wind to pass through 3. Twisting - Redirects wind - educes swaying forces on the structure - Shanghai tower - Reduced wind load by 24% - Saved 58 million 4. Damper - Slosh tanks, water sloshes back and forth and its weight displacement helps keep the building from swaying - Massive weights… hidden - Chifley tower - Taipei 101 has it open "Damper Baby" - Steel ball is also there to counteract earthquakes "As people move out of rural areas to more urban ones, skyscrapers will keep getting taller and skinnier."

for a change - im watching this on a phone and i love the format!
Imagine having a mascot for a heavy ball
Kinda amazed I didn't notice the aspect ratio till the end. I actually really like it because of the subject matter it's discussing is so vertical. A fun idea that I think works pretty well!
Unpopular opinion, but I liked the new aspect ratio. I felt like I was getting more video than watching in normal mode. It's a nice middle ground.
VOX videos looks so good hire me guys 😭
