Concept buildings always interest me. There’s always a good chance that the best looking stuff will never get built, and the weirdest structures are rarely even intended to get built.
Whether it’s to attract attention, feature new tech, or just show off some creativity, I can appreciate good concept buildings.
And these are! Or they would be, if they weren’t underwater.
But they are.
So they never got built.

Legitimate question: Has there ever been a show or film with an underwater laboratory, military base, or hotel that wasn't destroyed by the end?
😂🤣
in architecture school when we were introduced to building science our teacher said on the topic of waterproofing that rule number one is “water always wins”. building on/under/close to water is generally just wasteful. also just unhealthy in so many ways.
A friend took me on a ride on his boat. Before we took off, his little auto pump would piss out some water before we got on. My fiancée was wondering if his boat was broken, and he replied "all boats sink, good boats sink slowly."
Couldnt water be the first testi by ground for space habitats?
When i worked CNC retrofit half the job was just trying to keep oil or water out or at least pooling inside ANYTHING. Even cables, they strands used to structure the things can act as wicks bring oil to unexpected places. Even with all our effort most machines we see have oil inside, it was too much of a hassle to keep out for maintenance teams apparently
They can manage to make buildings more than a thousand feet tall, they can make them in whimsical, hyperbolic, geometric, and phantasmogorphic shapes, cover them in space-age glass, high-tech composites, and stainless, adorn them in balconies, infinity pools, and jungle botanicals, but somehow they can't manage to plug the leak coming from the apartment upstairs and flooding my kitchen every other day?! Priorities, people, priorities!
As a massive fan of Bioshock, I can completely agree that building an underwater city is a horrible idea.
Meh, i'd expect Dubai to build an island, put a mile tall building on it with a giant tank of seawater at the top so like 10 billionaires can live underwater in the sky.
Live underwater in the sky for about 2 weeks each year that is.
Underwater in the sky....? BRILLIANT!!! PRINT IT AND SHIP IT
Underwater Poop Submarines
"H2OME" is the worst attempt at a pun I have ever seen.
You should talk about absurdly tall skyscraper concepts
The original title of this video made me think of DUMB’s (Deep Underground Military Bases), so the idea of a DUMB underwater made me chuckle
it’s still a DUMB then, Deep Undersea Military Base
If you are curious how a variation in temperature would create electricity, look into thermostat coolers and the peltier effect. I recently came across one and it blew my mind. Fully flipped my world. I realized that was the first time in my life that I felt cold that didn't come from a compressed refrigerant. No moving parts, just ceramic plates, wires and semi conductors. Applying current causes one side to get hot and the other side to get cold. If the same device has a variation of temperature between the two sides, it will generate electricity. I know it doesn't even sound real. Like, current+ semiconductor+ ceramic plates= cold. When I first tried it, the cold side got to 50° f, while the other side reached about 90°f. When I later found out about how just temperature variation caused electricity to flow, I was even more baffled.
The thermoelectric effect is cool, but currently (pun intended) advanced heat engines have a higher efficiency, such as the ones used to generate power from heat created by nuclear fission and geothermal.
The problem is that there is just currently 0 point to wasting all the money and effort to make places to live down there. Especially luxury ones.
The only situation i could envision in the future where there would be under water living spaces would if there would be some kind of high demand, permanent constant workforce on the sea floor like for mining or something. In which case it would be nice for the workers to just have a place to sleep down there instead of having to go through ascent and de-pressurization every day.
But I doubt these would be the pretty glass pods in clear blue water, but more like utilitarian solid steel tubes in murky sandy dark water with some beds and a toilet.
The idea of "self-sustaining" in these kinds of concepts is so odd. Can you imagine proposing a new urban development and touting that it won't be connected to the power grid? For the 5,000 people one you could just propose to build a nuclear reactor in the nearest coastal city and then run a cable for the rich merpeople.
a global t-shirt gonna be expansive, makes sense
They did have the Chinese, I don't, that sounds weird..
I also don't have expensive T-shirt, and that really limits possibility of underwater life.
I am saddens
4:55 UAE and other middle-eastern countries are well known for getting high-quality affordable plastic surgeries. It's actually a whole industry over there. People fly in from neighboring countries, get their nose jobs, hair transplants, etc; and rest up / recover in a nice hotel before coming home looking normal.
I honestly wonder if anyone would be able to actually _sleep_ in an underwater hotel.
I love these types of videos trying to *dive deeper* into these concepts!
I'll be here all week.
Expectations: Underwater communism
Reality: Capitalist underwater prison where a bottle of drinking water costs 20 dollars, there's always a couple inches of seawater on the bottom floor, and you can smell the mold.
Communists get the wall. All of them.
In other words, Rapture.
Sounds like a perfect setup for a 70's disaster movie starring Charlton Heston and Charo.
Futurama? Sealab?
Are we still talking about living underwater, or did the conversation somehow shift to old school Adult Swim?
"Sealab, underneath the water. Sealab, at the bottom of the sea."
- Theme song for 'Sealab 2021'
Honestly it sounds kinda dope to have a house on the water with underwater rooms........till the first squall sinks your house. Or a shark decides to test your flimsy bedroom window out of curiosity lol
The Floating Seahorses aren't special, my basement is damp too
I think the floating seahorses are a great idea
I love this kind of videos....
I mean if they could get the prices down to Disney Resort levels of $300-$500 a night people might stay in them for the experience. Wouldn't need to be deep underwater, just looking out and seeing a reef with some fish would be impressive.
You think you can post on both channels within 15 minutes of one another, and no one would notice? Because I did. (Thank you this is the best Saturday ever)
Those seahorse houses have been built and are currently floating about for people to buy/rent in Dubai. No idea on their vacancy but they actually were built and exist out in the Persian Gulf.
Only one was finished, last I checked. Has that changed?
@@Hamdad I'm not sure! I looked on their website and they list multiple for sale, but not if they're built yet.
You mean to tell me no one's copied Andrew Ryan's design
They all sound pretty great and cool to work.
6:51 30k a week isn’t too steep for a certain type of person. A cheap super yacht charter for 4 will run you 200k a week
"I REJECTED those answers, instead I chose something differnet, I chose the impossible. I chose......... Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well."
4:40 That’s just Kamimo you can’t pull the wool over my eyes
The building looks like the Disney plastic house of the future from the 50's frfr
Hotel Atlantis looks like a 1970's swinger pad fireplace
The best current underwater housing is just opd submarines that the military forgot about.
With dreams of underwater living, frutiger aero also died :( rip
That last one reminded me of a job I had.
I was a tollbooth guy at the public park system. I was stationed at Laguna Niguel Regional Park. As the tollbooth guy I was customer service, I had longer hours than the park rangers, I handled phonecalls and the police radio.
Every thursday there was this man who would come by at 4:30 (when the ranger office closed at 4pm). The police would later tell me that this man was named Abdul Tarzi (I come from a Persian family myself, so this was a normal name to me) and the police asked me to keep tabs on this guy's movements when he was in the parks.
Abdul................... mother fucking Abdul....................Here is what he did every week for 2 years.
1) He would come by with HAND WRITTEN copies of his manifesto written in sharpie on school lined paper. He had 3 hand written new manifesto's each week because he never had access to a copy machine.
2) He'd rant about how I was a government employee (I wasn't) and thus I had the ear of the government/whitehouse (of course not). And he would then talk about his "corporate connections" (which meant he was harrassing the drive through guys at McDonalds and the Taco Bell down the street).
3) Since I was customer service, I was required to treat him respectfully............so he had a habit of not fucking leaving.
4) His manifesto read as follows.
--Everyone gets $2000 a day to live for free pay. (forget communism. Talk about mathematically impossible)
---Solve world hunger by growing corn on the moon.
---Outlaw all geese (this was a park with a lake in it) world wide to prevent the spread of diseases. (not sure of the geese shit on his lawn or he was crazy enough to try and eat the geese. But I wish I hated anything as much as he hated geese. Batman hates the joker less than that man hated geese)
--Outlaw all dogs for all the geese reasons
--He asks on the hand written manifesto to fill in 5 more ideas for world peace of my own. Nice and inviting, to be sure, but it was probably his dementia eating his imagination to the bone.
5) He'd walk off into the park and start screaming at women who were walking their dogs.
Abdul Tarzi........................ what a fuck head. Kinda glad most of the park guests mistook him for a mexican, but I would always correct them saying his name............. and then diswage their islamaphobia with my own heritage. "He's not a terrorist. he is just batshit insane and sadder than Robert Zemeckez's career".
This is the funniest thing I have ready all week. Holy shit.
100% true. I promise. @@brickman409
Thanks for sharing this
Sounds like half the old people I'd deal with on the phone when i worked for an answering service.
I tended to interact with two types of old people, sweet and kind... and batshit insane misanthropes, with very little in-between, lol.
@@planescaped I always said to the bad customers "Its called customer service, not customer servants, pal". (and now you know how I got fired)
Does anybody remember the 90's australian kids series _Ocean Girl_ with its massive underwater research station _Orca 5_ (if I remember correctly)?
I wanted to live at this place so badly.. 😅
Underwater building with a plastic surgery center? I’ve played that game!
Is there a future market for a diver with an algae scraper?
Aww I wanted Rapture IRL 😢
2:14 If that prediction is for 2024, we better hurry up! Where's my unwater city?
anyone living in that Japanese spiral building will just see pitch black water past a depth of 700 ft or so
That underwater hotel in Dubai is still a better idea than the world islands
Conrad/Hilton has had an underwater restaurant for over a decade now, but that is on shallower waters compared to these projects.
Outro song is so hard 😭💀❤️
Always with the China, IL vibes
What’s funny is that people know we can’t live underwater but think Elon can have us live on Mars 🤣🤣🤣
4:42 Kamino hotel lol
I went to buy "very expensive T-shirt", decided not to spend green when it not come in Coral. Say What??!! A missed marketing opportunity, for sure. I'm sure they are selling well, though; Chinese include, many also others.
That was an abrupt ending
Jimi Hendrix vision of returning to live in the sea
"1983, a Merman I Shall Turn To Be "
Hooray, I awake from yesterday
Alive but the war is here to stay
So my love, Katherina and me
Decide to take our last walk
Through the noise to the sea
Not to die but to be reborn
Away from a life so battered and torn
Forever
Oh, say can you see, it's really such a mess
Every inch of earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lipstick tube-shaped things
Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
And the Arctic stains
From silver blue to bloody red
As our feet find the sand and the sea
Is straight ahead,
Straight up ahead
Well, it's too bad,
That our friends
Can't be with us today
Well, that's too bad
"The machine that we built would never save us"
That's what they say
(That's why they ain't coming with us today)
And they also said
"It's impossible
for man to live and breathe underwater forever"
Was their main complaint
(Yeah)
And they also threw this in my face, they said:
"Anyway, you know good and well
It would be beyond the will of God
And the grace of the King"
Grace of the King, yeah, yeah
So my darling and I
Make love in the sand
To salute the last moment
Ever on dry land
Our machine has done its work,
Played its part well
Without a scratch on our bodies
And we bid it farewell
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
Before our heads go under, we take a last look
At the killing noise
Of the out of style
The out of style,
Out of style
So down and down and down and down and down we go
Hurry, my darling, we mustn't be late for the show
Neptune champion games
To an aqua world of serenity
Right this way, smiles a mermaid
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
Atlantis full of cheer
I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else’s lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more are you looking for
Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
Take it from me...
“No gods or kings, only man.”
I actually found a few smaller underwater hotels
1 view and six comments, huh…
i commented six times
Back to the old days, we gonna be stuck at 301 views soon
Thank you for a good Saturday morning laugh😂🤣😂🤣🐠
What's the song playing in the back
I only have like 30 hours in minecraft but you can bet your ass i built myself an underwater base (that flooded) in that time, man is called to the sea
Final Space reference in this video
We need Tyler's seasteading video
It’s giving Ocean gate
Can you release the music you make for your outros?
Look at all the seamen.
Rich people want to go in space, not underwater!
Uhhh was that a YMH reference in the ad? "Try it out, use me"??
These companies come up with ideas simular to today's companies planning life on Mars.
So, real life interplanetary would be pretty boring and mondane
yo, you got a new mic? Sounds much clearer
Bioshock...
why's your voice different than on pointless hub or alt history hub
Still waiting for my expensive global t-shirt...
Plastic beach looking ahh hotel
Compare the cost, safety and livability of permanent underwater settlement to a Moon settlement. A Moon settlement would easily cost 1000 times more and the safety and quality of life would easily be 1000 times worse. When it comes to cost and safety Mars would easily be 100 times worse than the Moon and quality of life still goes down because of a year to three years long delays in shipments from Earth and all communications would be email because of the 5 to 25 minutes a transmission would take to reach Earth at the speed of light. This makes Elon Musk about 10,000 times dumber than the people reaching out to him to fund their underwater hotel. So you never know, they might get their funding.
Du-bioshock
Ocean communism sounds fun
Just build an alterra habitat smh🙄
I am escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by Capitalism! SPAC- I mean THE SEA!!
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
Buy the expensive T shirt.
I'm an expensive t-shirt.
Ironically, some want to make Bioshock a reality. But instead of a libertarian, and capitalist paradise, they want it to be communist/socialist paradise with a hint of hippie commune flavour instead.
Gooooood luck with that.
Fast
8:59 I will never take an environmental message seriously if they dont include nuclear as the primary source of power. It's the greenest source we have and it's perfect for underwater settlements. Constant source of coolant, plentiful shielding(water is legit one of the best shielding materials we have), and you dont even have to worry about refueling except for every other decade or so which simplifies that part of the logistics of the project.
Ok but like, just use the ocean currents that are already there and make a TOOOON of energy. And thermodynamic power is extremely excellent underwater thanks to the water coolant you mention. Why introduce potential explosions into a place that already could explode from depressurization? Lol
@poletooke4691 Nobody builds RBMK reactors anymore, so explosions arent a worry. And nuclear is far more scalable and has a significantly lower footprint per kilowatt-hour than any other possible source of power, so why not use it as the backbone for the power grid? Include other sources to help with peaks, sure, but there's literally no reason not to slap a nuclear reactor in or near an underwater city to power it.
@@PoleTooke “depressurization from being underwater”
Other way around, my guy.
Biggest issue with nuclear is cost and long ROI. There are other renewable sources that are cheaper and continue to get cheaper each year
@@lordfirebeard8569Wtf dude RBMK reactors don’t just “explode”! 😮
Legitimate question: Has there ever been a show or film with an underwater laboratory, military base, or hotel that wasn't destroyed by the end?
The 70s Hanna Barbara cartoon Sealab 2020 not to be confused with the early 2000s adult swim show similarly named Sealab 2021 which is a deranged parody of the original with a lot of episodes ending complete destruction
Bojack Horseman Season 3 Episode 4
I never played bioshock yet....
Pretty much all of the buildings and entire society of Jabberjaw
There was a kids show years ago called Ocean Odyssey (or Ocean Girl) set in a underwater facility. I think it was still standing by the end.
*Facts:* There was cancelled project from Nickelodeon where the underwater themepark was supposed to be built in Coron, Palawan back in 2017. However, said project ends up getting amount of backlash due to believing that the themepark might damaged ecosystem and Nickelodeon decided to abandon it (for a good reason.)
I reckon the closest thing we've gotten is a Dutch company that makes floating houses where the house floats on a hollow cast concrete pontoon that doubles as your basement space. These things are actually built and surprisingly functional, though the main intent is to inhabit the house built on top of the pontoon.
Not sure I'd trust anyone but the Dutch on a job like that.
I've been thinking about disney theme parks and I think that an indoor water park themed to these underwater living concepts would be awesome.
I want to live in a balloon house over a volcano just to keep me on my toes
We need to petition the icelandic government to help you realize that dream. Having a pineapple 8-ball live in a ballon house over an active volcano is frankly the highest expression of human contemporary culture I can think of.
"the constant threat of depressurisation"
I think you mean crushing over-pressurisation literally a hydraulic press
Nobody wants to see a small water region depressurize for a few seconds while oxygen pours into it is what he meant, I'm sure.
Yep, as demonstrated recently by a deeply arrogant (and now deeply smooshed and dead) billionaire.
Only mercy with that story is that nobody would've had time to suffer.
"Constant threat of de-pressurization" Correction: 'constant threat of Pressurization ', it's not a loss of pressure you're worried about as much as a sudden increase.
Why on water does humanity keeps on trying to commercialize underwater quarters into luxurious hotels? Why aren't we manifesting our destinies of underwater colonies and underwater nations? I demand a Magna Submarina Carta!
5:28
sir depressurization would imply your atmosphere leaks outwards
the correct phrasing would be “drowning like a rat in a cage”
You may not live long enough to drown. An implosion is more dangerous than an explosion, because all the force is focused inwards. You would be technically safer with tnt strapped to your chest, depending how deep we're talking about going of course.
The Japanese underwater spiral city sounds like the death rate would be like 95%. Not for any logistical reasons of course, that would be crazy. The real reason is that the big space of nothing in the middle of the city just looks way too tempting and fun to not jump off the railing.
Nah they have a designated forest for doing that
This is the kind of stuff that Sea Quest DSV filled my preschool brain with.
Some of these feel Frutiger Aero inspired.
Tyler promotes Surfshark, but Cody promotes Nord VPN. Which one should I go with?
Both
Make the VPNs fight to the death and choose the winner
Doesn't everyone's *_global_* program include the Chinese?
These underwater projects sounds like something the late Stockton Rush would invest in
Only if he could insure that no qualified white men were involved, because people with 30 years of submariner experience in the navy don't inspire him.
FYI Surf Shark isn't going to protect you from public wifi, don't go typing sensitive information while connected to a public wifi network regardless of whether you use a VPN or not.
This reminds me of the absolute headache I ended up with the high school interior design class where we were allowed to design a dream house...and I decided to go with something partially underwater after there was a show on, I believe, Travel Channel about several places on the coast where houses were built with lower, submerged levels and minimal surface structure. The abject headache of finding everything and the teachers confusion when I started asking for the right symbols to use for things that he'd never thought of.
I'm pretty sure that he was even more confused about the design in the end, but it was exceedingly unique and required a few pages of explanation for symbols involved in marking the partial blueprint design for things such as airlocks, a moonpool, some of the air purification and transmission, along with material notations. His TA for told me that I was the reason it took an extra week for him to go over the different projects...and he was not pleased with the class voting on most interesting project for actual concept work to be done for it.
A few years ago, I'd found my copy of it and it still amuses me...
That chinese cocaine must be fucking wild
Legitimately, it seems like the idea of people living underwater was exclusively thought up of as an underwater mining town variant of... above water mining towns.
