Just thought I would let you know.. I have been working on something far more time intensive and completely useless. Basically I have been building a supercar from the ground up, making everything down to the suspension, engine, and chassis as realistic as I can.. in Minecraft. How you might ask? It's over 100 blocks long. And I've spent months on it. And many google searches have been done. I'm probably only like 50% done (all the main things are mostly done, ie- the entire rear half of the car.)
8:12 I really love how you explained it with a piece of paper makes the thing way easier to understand...i should show this to my professor who did a really bad job at explaing such a simple thing ahahah (eng. student here)
A good answer for the "Why would you do that? Minecraft has no gravity" question is "Why not?" its already interesting because engineering skill is being used for Minecraft
Man this video is your best yet ! I really liked the irl comments and the cameo of that one Clark O’Down. Also the pasting was really well made and and your little gags blended in quite well ! Great stuff 👌
@@astrovation3281 maybe, but there's a difference. An empty place isn't a liminal space. I'm tired of people just "wOw tHiS rOoM eMpTy sUcH a lImInAl pLaCe" an empty pool building with no water in the pool would be more liminal than this.
Such a great video for us to learn some architecture through Minecraft, without you, I wouldn’t even know these. These knowledges do let me notice and appreciate buildings’ structure in real life!
you've just taught me what my professor is teaching for the past 4 weeks into a 30 minute video. I want to let you know that you're the MVP and have earned my subscription.
In that "spooky room" I imagine a small stage used for large office-wide presentations. My office building has a similar layout with a conference hall attached to a tower, and that's what that room is set up for lol.
the part at 5:06 where you showed us some real life examples of the concepts you were talking about was really cool! it would be awesome if you did that more in youre videos or even made it its own series!
I'd love a video about how to develop a realistic road layout and infrastructure for a city. Like where do I place roads, where do they go to, how wide do they need to be and stuff like that.
Dont know why you dont have more subscribers. This is one of the most underrated minecraft channels. The quality is on fleek and the informaation is really helpfull and interesting and has real world applications. What more do you want.
I don't know about the modern buildings. But in the ones i've worked on, the HVAC system works just as a domestic air conditioner (heat goes out for cooling and viceversa) but instead of using tons and tons of gas, they used cool water towers that go through the whole building, this water then takes the heat from inside and goes up to the top to dissipate the heat and restart the cycle.
As a plumber, I was sad to see the shafts being excluded to run my plumbing through it. :(. Great video, though. To add, the planning of these projects take a year or more, and the plans are huge and very detailed where even the soil needs their own pages. Wild stuff, great job!
love the first person description. as an artist but NOT an architect or builder, hearing the process helps me contextualize my own artistic process. I get to think “ok this is how an architect thinks.”
I like seeing buildings built like this in Minecraft, thank you for doing the laborious task of realistically constructing the building in a way that’s completely unnecessary and way more time consuming.
Kind of fun seeing this from the engineering and architecture side. I'm used to the perspective of the guy pouring the concrete. Edit: 9:00 one of the ways we reinforce concrete aside from rebar are cable tensioners. You insert these sleeves full of grease through the concrete when it's being poured, and put steel cables under thousands of pounds of tension through them, anchored at the ends so they don't snap and tear put of there obviously. The tension of the cables puts the concrete under compression, strengthening it.
Under appreciated Minecraft youtuber. Guess that is because its for a different class of player then your casual mine crafter. Really cool to see real world engineering used in the game.
Just a small addition to 8:42 about why nobody uses full steel for skyscrapers. While its way more durable than concrete in many ways, Its terrible against fire. In a case where a fire is spreading throughout the building, It will not burn down in parts but completely collapse given enough time. Since stell shares the heat with the rest of the constructure, It wont just destroy a room and move on to the next but instead it will collapse an entire floor to get further. Which is WHY glass and reinforced concrete are better options than going full in with Steel.
This video made me extremely happy because I’ve been learning all the structural and architectural stuff you started with at the beginning of the video and I knew it but now I can see where it works and how it’s used. Very nice
If you put a little bit of space between the ceiling and the next floor, you can have redstone dust and repeaters for wiring to activate lights. And if you so choose, you can put space between walls to allow a redstone signal to go up from the switch on the wall to the wires in the ceiling.
I love the architectural design and building content, I know its a hassle to edit but I really love it. Im gonna be a freshman taking an architectural design class in highschool next year and this makes me even more excited!
I can confirm that the cleaning tubs are sometimes on rails. I'm an automation tecnician and at the pharma firm I work at our cleaning tubs are also on rails. But only on the older buildings (about 20-30 years old) The newest building has a different system. Also the rails are close to the edge and the tubs are not rotating on a crane. So the rails do all the work.
This is giving me insane King Abdullah Financial District vibes in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, not so much the skyscrapers I'm talking more about the base layer thingy but your skyscraper does give a little bit of k.a.f.d vibes too
I am so glad I watched this video when I did as I was looking for a vpn and this sale had 28 minutes left when a I found out about it I I now safe thanks. Keep up the great work
hey lujt i wanted to ask a question. Is math realy hard for architect students? I wanted to confirm it from a real student who is studying architecture
@@iwanttoseeyousmileee Hello! At least in the country I live and the University I study at, not really. A school of architecture does have a really heavy workload, but it’s mostly practical work; Mocks, drawings, building designs, etc. Very little is theoretical, and even less mathematics. Although if you can, I do recommend you study some maths especially related to structural engineering and such. This is not a necessity, but if you do learn some engineering you will probably become a better architect, as your designs will already be structurally proper, and the engineer won’t have to ruin them (as they do sometimes) in order to make them work with the laws of physics. TL;DR: It’s not too hard, it’s recommended you study some extra engineering courses though.
@@iujt thank you soo much for saying this and i will for sure try to study now more structual engeniering if thats what i need. Thank thank thank you soo much.
You switch from Minecraft talk and IRL Architecture talk so seamlessly through out the video I need to take a second to realize which one your talking about
and this is way cooler than unreal builds that most of minecraft players used to make, while im enjoying build things like they supposed to be builded its more fun for me.
You have no idea how much I needed this video. I’ve been significantly suffering from a lack skyscraper construction knowledge for an art project I’m currently doing
This was so helpful for me cuz I wanna try building in a modern city style n all I have is a bit of "design" experience from drawing sky scrapers for a still life project
This was a great video, just a perfect mix between educational and relaxing. Also loved the part where you built the tower up from the ground giving it a realistic feel.
Hey Alpine, last year architecture student from Peru here, just a tip for your sketching, try making more "desicive" line work, one of the most stressed topic by professors is that lines dont have to be straight just go from A. to B. in a direct maner. Your videos are awesome! keep it up!
Also to the window cleaning thing, maybe you could place some metal rods (iron bars) in a __|__ | ¦ Shape maybe that could make it more sensical Though I think you might not be able to place them, you probably thought of something but I'll try to come up with something too, long time since I built something in minecraft since my console broke.
Now I love building and industry, business, and especially construction underground as I'm very much one of those people who like the underground. So watching this has taught me a lot about construction and why some don't do things like we thought they would. So I guess what I am trying to say is that I thank you for this wonderful lesson you have given us and I am sure I will use this if and when the time comes. 👍👏 Live long and prosper, 🖖.
i thought being an architect was so much more basic for some reason and this really opened my eyes to it definitely an amazing video very well made earned a new sub
i feel like the tower portion of the build would be used for office/commerical space whilst the base facing the river could be used as a convention center.
I just wanna say you do incredible work, im on a server and my plan is to make a skyscraper to rival everyone elses castles and subtle builds. The only problem is that i can do the outside but my inside skills are lacking so your video is a tremendous inspiration!
Man I saw the buildings right at the start of the video going, is that Little Italy in Ottawa, then the Minecraft recreation of the Minto building with Mackenzie and the bus station for Carleton. God damn what a small world
Just want to say, this is an amazing video, I love the way you walked through the process and the way you correlated it to real life, really just an amazing job, not to mention an absolutely amazing build! Looking g forward to watching many more videos from you!
Wow great work man honestly seen so many minecraft builders and professionals in my time but this had me real interested from start to finish keep it up man this is some great content
first person tours! yes! While I love the insight while you're flying around, I'd also like to see you explore/tour on the ground, confined by gravity, when it makes sense (no need to walk to the roof)
Try sticky piston to make the block open and closed it will look more realistic for the elevator door to open and closed if you know how to use red stone and the extension of a repeater makes it look like a electric wire.

For the bucket used for window scrapers you could add pieces on the sides with rope that connects in a center point for the crane to grab onto.
Finally a yt video on this, when I used to play mc I did a whole city like this, it took me like 5 years and I only managed 6 buildings
