      There is nothing to say that it wouldn't have plenty of space, that all comes down to design. There is about zero chance this project goes anywhere, but space exists in 3 dimensions, upwards is space just the same as out is. The main issue is cost, cost dictates how much space people get, based on what people can afford. Like anything, if it was built, rich people would get the prime spots with the most space, and poor people would get smaller crappier abodes within the structure, but most of these kind of fantasy projects start off with claims of equity where everyone will have plenty of everything.

      Mens get married at the age of 40 and everyone know that at the age of 40 fertility rate is very low and Saudia people have very bad habit of having coffee at night the people who sleep late at night they lose that fertility level double than normal people and the smoke cigarette in Shisha All Night now this will reduce the fertility rate double now in the womens of Saudi Arabia now they don't want to grow that children 90% are divorce and not getting married again at my prediction in 2030 they will face the highest low population problem I think the king is entertaining their population because they want to hide there how much the world is generated from their natural resources and people of Saudia facing now highest inflation very hike in rental apartments now their boing their own petrol in high prices the government is corrupted I said in Saudi Arabia for more than and 15 years the people are really very good people very friendly people I am very sad for the brothers sisters there they are getting tortured and force not to travel very commonly around the the world hope it will get success

      Understatement of the century. It's going down in freefall. 30 years ago row houses felt cramped (houses built side by side with a shared wall), then apartments entered the scene, usually in big blocks, then renovating those row houses into apartments became a thing, cramped to super cramped, now studios are a thing where a single apartment is chopped in 2 or 3 to give every tenant a single room with everything in it, somtimes with a shared kitchen or ... even bathroom. This is in the big cities and the price of those shoeboxes can get you a house with land somewhere else. Saudi Arabia is creating a model shoebox for the future cities. Insane and absolutely absurd.

      @@Krasno- some european countries seem to have figured out how to do everything efficiently. instead of building insanely tall skyscrapers that get exponentially more expensive and impractical with each floor, why not build small apartment blocks that are 4-6 floors tall? they're more than twice as cost efficient, don't take up too much space and still have a sort of "community" feel that urban neighborhoods do. the lower floors can be transformed into small stores where basic amenities are provided, making every amenity within a 15 minute walk away. since these blocks are cheaper to construct, rent prices don't usually spiral out of control

  • @InvaderNatDT
    @InvaderNatDT Год назад +916

    I like the idea of vertical living, no cars etc, but there's just no need to make the scale so absurdly huge. It would be better to make it half as high and just extend the line as demand requires. Also it need not stretch deep into the empty desert, just build along the coast instead. That way you have more seafront views, more room for habours/marinas, a cooler climate and you could have it act as a giant desalination plant for fresh water.

      It's a giant prison with only artificial light at the bottom, where the poor live. If you are near the middle, it will take hours to be able to quit the building if you live in the middle, and since it will have its own administration and laws (according to the project), it will essentially be like a death giant trap for its inhabitants. Imagine having to take an elevator to go to the top just to see the outside. Now it sounds like a prison, doesn't it ? The access to the top may be restricted to only certain classes of population if the powerful want.
      You cannot start demonstrations in The Line, as you are immediately circled by cops on the left and the right.
      The super rich will live nearby the sea, where they have direct access to the water and can escape easily if needed. On the other side they can leave quite quickly as well, but they are dependent on water and if there is a sabotage, potentially millions of people would be cut off water. If electricity is cut, the building would overheat in a matter of days. The rest willl be trapped for hours if not days as well.
      Giant waste of money for a completely dystopian world imagined by a rich idiot.

You need to take into consideration floods, so if you are building this, ensure all housing is way off ground. Also, consider worldly changes like continent shifts and how the water from the sea may inpact such a structure. If water rises for any reason, it will literally feed/barrel into this line all the way.

      @@mosesnacorie9681 Intrestingly enough, dry on one side and wet on the other could even be a useful trait.
      There are many possible innovations that could utilize such a change in humidity/moisture.
      For example a humidity gradient-based power generator, where the difference in moisture could be a source of electric power.
      It wouldn't be a very large amount of power, but it would be a very consistent backup for solar and wind power.
      You could probably also use the humidity gradient to produce fresh drinking water by having a filter that goes from the wet side through to the dry side of the wall,
      the water would be pulled into the filter by sheer vapour preassure without the need of an external power source.
      Though i admit that such device would be far from efficient in of itself.
      I'm not saying that its worth it to have such a difference in humidity when constructing buildings as it also causes various problems,
      but i am saying that there are atleast potential upsides aswell.

    The most terrifying fact about these very long mirror walls, is the enormous amount of solar energy that will be focused at the ground, and into the air around the buildings. And if two are built side by side, they will act like solar ovens, heating each other and creating a horrific heat issue that will make them practically uninhabitable. Beyond that, is the immense light that the residents will deal with, blasting through their windows, which will require them to keep their window shade units closed at all times the sun is shining. Plus, there is a major psychological issue with structures that are tall, thin and very long that force humans to move in one linear direction to get anywhere. There is an inherent slavery in this design that encourages massive depression in the people who live there. On paper, it's a great design. In the real world, it's a horrible idea bound to cost trillions more than it is ultimately worth to overcome the restrictions of the high heat, high solar energy environment, it is slated to be built in. You would likely have to wear silver covered solar fire clothing, to actually stand in the environment, the reflection of a long wall of glass would focus on the ground. For a nation of men who have always been brilliant at hiding their skin from the horrendous heat of the sun under valiant robes and clothing, this structure makes no sense. They know better than anyone. You must respect the power of the Sun.

    As a German architect, some questions arise in my mind. Due to the strongly deviating temperature influences, I wonder how the project reacts to the basic principles of thermodynamics. Because in this building project, and especially due to the length and height, building materials expand differently. This would cause fatal damage or worse to the building. I also see coming social problems not only in the construction of this giant structure but also in its finished state. Scenarios like recently in Qatar where only during the construction of stadiums and hotels estimated 6,500 people have perished would be quite higher with such a structure. I can not really get anything out of the whole thing.

    Architecture changes the way we live. It can be more efficient and comfortable or not. If The Line does accomplish it’s goals, people will see it’s advantages and luxurious options and want to try the new living environment. We are only limited by our imagination. They must try and build their new city of the future. There are many talented minds working on the project that can make it happen.

      @Erica Adams That's true. To succeed in the financial markets, you must review and put into consideration, the dynamics of your asset prior to investing that’s why I recommend working with a Professional who will show you the ropes and assist in making good invstment choices that will keep you afloat, reduce portfolio risk profile and permanent loss of capital.>

    I don't know how that would work but I like the idea of trying out a different city layout that favors practical transportation and irrigation better than current city layouts which were mostly not built with energy conservation as a factor during construction. That being said ... These Concepts should be put to the test in microscale as an experiment
