"easily relatable references" sounds good, but a "book that's 683m tall" was not what I imagined :D
Yeah that part made no sense at all.
I think they mean, the floor area is 6m pages of A4 paper, which stacked up equals 683m. But it doesn’t seem to add a lot to that comparison lol.
😂😂
_how tall is 500 meters?
_it's exactly the size of a 500 meters monster
_understandable, have a nice day
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
'Size matters' i took that as personal assault

While I am always intrigued by B1M videos I could not help but to think that the narrator was talking about himself and using skyscrapers as a metaphor.
You caught me.
@@TheB1M lmaoo i love you guys
@@daraobrien282 Well, now that everyone thinks he’s just talking about himself in the videos, would YOU really do one on not finishing?? Haha
Skyscrapers look small on a photo, but walking close to them in real life is when you realise that they're bloody massive
And then you realise how small they are compared to asteroids, and minor asteroids are to planets, and how insignificant they are compared to the sun, then just how tiny the sun is compared to the galaxy, and how small the galaxy is to the universe and who know how much bigger it gets. Which makes a person realise just how nothing we are!
Look it up for yourself.
@@sandrajones8245 we are insignificant
@@Alex-eh8hv molecular size. Oh but to a troll or a corrupt person, their shit doesn't stink!
True. Yesterday I visited the Leonardo, the tallest building in Africa and was taken back when I realized the Burj khalifa is almost 4 times its height🥴
Is this like Zoolander and the ant museum?
Girls: Size doesn't matter
B1M: Size really does matter
Lol
only flat chested girls say that.
gay:I do not think so
Your girl's just trying to make you feel better, B1M isn't afraid to tell the truth
No girl has ever thought that!! Of course yours said it to you though!!!!!(imaginary girl)
30 Hudson Yards is basically Stark Tower
Yep now all that is left is for Elon to buy the whole thing

@@bsfoxo3329 yeah cause tony did achieve a lot I mean he saved the planet, he made iron man, the arc reactor........ oh wait! no he didn't cause he is fictional, doesn't exist, and bends the laws of physics. All I'm saying is the closest thing we got is Elon and as far as not doing anything in his life is concerned 3 companies, most valuable stocks, reigniting the space race, and revolutionizing the EV industry is nothing. What are your achievements?
Sometimes a shorter tower have more floor area because it doesn't need massive cores and megacolumns to support itself. Also the taller a building is, the more elevator it has to have, thus, a bigger core is needed.
lifts and stairs also count into spaces, that's why even a skyscraper has hundred thousands sqm but very low usable area...
Or empty floors for wind stabilization
@@DamianLewd Oh, you mean wind pressure relief portals? Some buildings have them and some don't
that intro was intense, I'm ready...
Have to mention the fact that the original One and Two World Trade Center each had 400,000 square metres of floor space.
Bro wtf is that pic
I'm sorry but what is that pfp💀
how much did building 7 have
You beat me to it. I wondered how much space the late, great ORIGINAL WTC had. Maybe from now on B1M should use the original WTC as a reference for ALL of the modern towers; and for every classic tower still standing (like the Empire State and the Chrysler), use the Singer tower, now (presumably) the 2nd-tallest building to have been demolished.
5:53 It's the *SEARS TOWER* - easiest way to piss off Chicagoans is to call it "Willis"
And non-Chicagoans. New Yorker here and I cringe every time someone says the "w word" just to be corporately correct. Shudder...
I'm from Michigan and it will ALWAYS be known as the Sears Tower. Even though its floor space tapers off substantially as it goes skyward, it's easy to see how it still edged out one of the original WTC towers in floor space...it's the massive base of the building. It's gigantic. Enormous. I hadn't seen it in about a decade and stood at its base with my son and it almost seemed larger than when I first visited it as a child. Jaw dropping massive.

The two people who disliked, was told by their mother that size doesent matter.
Not in having a marriage. But in having a .... . You know what I meant.
Nicely done. I had no idea the Rialto was so efficient and I'm a Melbourne guy.
For buildings made in the 80s they look so modern.
Same with the crown Sydney, even though it just took the crown for Sydney's tallest building (excluding Sydney tower) you have building that aren't much smaller that would seem more logical as they are plain square building compared to the shape of crown Sydney but I guess some of it helps with the lower parts extending out a bit
I am just Glad when B1M says "Football Field" theu actually mean Foot-Ball Field.. not the Hand Egg one.
Haha, we only really acknowledge "proper" football. Unless there's a massive NFL stadium to talk about.
@@TheB1M But you showed a rectangle, football fields are oval shaped in my country.
Lol "egg head one" you made my day😂😂
lmaoo
@@Dave_Sisson in what country are you living in
B1M has the best footage, hats off🎉🙏
I just came here to see sexy shots of skyscrapers and I wasn't disappointed
skycraper videos are my favourite topics covered by the B1M and this was another great skyscraper-related video. it never occurred to me that a lot of the time we look at height only and not the total floor space or area of that building which should also be considered. Thanks B1M for another great video
Your talent and enthusiasm to explain everything about buildings is what makes this channel remarkable. Well done.
I swear I could listen to his voice 24/7
"A book that's 683m tall" is bit like asking us to imagine "A football field that's the size of 27 football fields."
My girlfriend said size doesn't matter. Was she lying!?
Length doesn’t matter so much as girth 😂
It's not what you have but the way you use it.
She was right!!
Thickness matters
Thickness
Yes she was lying
She wasn't lying, other instruments have proven this😉
B1M never disappoints me
My love for modern architecture is always replanted every time a new video from B1M comes on.
It might be interesting to rank them with gross area divided by footprint size to see which utilized its land the most efficiently.
I'd really like to see more groundscrapers around the globe :)
Google are building their new groundscraper next to King's Cross Station in London. Should be very cool once complete
@@nothingtowatch3708 Arcologies are the way forward. The ideology of Urban and Rural are too different. A socialized system is a lot easier when it's all under one roof. If cities remain dependent upon rural land for food then they will continue to enforce their Ideas on others.
@@nothingtowatch3708 IDK man. It depends greatly on whether we adopt safer nuclear power to run them. And whether or not we stop sending average people to college. Too many buildings too few builders.
@@nothingtowatch3708 I'm saying most everyone is getting a degree and are competing for office jobs. You can't build without builders. The kind of money I can get for shoveling sand or digging a ditch is unreal because there isn't anyone willing and capable of doing it. But there's people with political science majors working at Starbucks because nobody taught them how to get their hands dirty.
Nuclear power isn't safe without a massive concrete dome over it. Pressure Water Reactors are dangerous by there very nature. Liquid metal or molten salts is the way to go. It's easier to build for high heat than high heat and high pressure.
I was hoping Chicago’s Merchandise Mart was going to get mentioned somewhere in there.
Remeber: If it's tall, it doesn't mean that it is big
I love how Efficient the Sears Tower is.
Same, brilliant engineering
@@JoeMama-le7lw except that it is really complicated in that it is like 7 smaller buildings in one.

This is another fav from B1M channel! Really I can't stop replaying again and again. The information is awesome BTW. Thank you @b1m
There are some seriously beautiful time lapses in your videos! Always so lovely to see.
Thanks B1M for constantly making such quality videos.
You are most developed channel at the moment. I appreciate your work so much .
Keep it up man. 😄
I friggen love this channel. This was awesome. Thank you very much, as always, The B1M! :)
Mate, this was one of the best videos that I've ever seen from you. Great idea, as always, great pictures, great music. The topic in itself could've made the video. And the quotes were genius as well. Keep up the good work!
I hate it when all my tall skyscraper owning friends brag about the height of their buildings. Thank you B1M for exposing these frauds
haha it’s a joke bout dicks
@@COLMECTIGAMINGANDMORE r/woooosh
Here in my state Nagaland we never see skyscrapers but we do have natural skyline which is the tropical trees and mountains which Im so grateful about 😊
not every country needs skyscrapers or even big cities.
Great video as always! Really curious about the voice behind B1M.
Fascinating video, definitely gives a new perspective to tall buildings. Keep up the great work!
That Chengdu building is almost the size of Monaco! Wow!
I go to there almost every week
Shout out to whoever narrates these videos for having such an amazing voice :)
Great videos lately! Keep up the great work! 👍👍
Finally! I was always wondering about this.
Thank you!
Great video. Nice to see Sears/Willis Tower getting its due. It irked me a bit back in '98 when Petronas took the title of tallest tower while Sears was still far more impressive in size. I didn't realize, though, that it was STILL impressively massive when compared to top-tier skyscrapers.
Fun fact its still the biggest skyscraper idk where they got there information but the ping an only has 385,918 while the sears tower has 416,000 and the scale that they use always makes the sears tower look small compared to other buildings
Same here. It’s the CTBUH that has that weird rule of factoring in a buildings “spire” into the overall height. The Sears Tower’s roof is 118ft taller than that of the Petronas
The phallic undertones are palpable.
Love it
Practically *throbbing* with undertones.
I had to stop and remember this was RUclips and not History or Discovery channel. Keep It up you are great at this!
Amazing insight into the skyscrapers from around the world ...... love it
I think it would be interesting to see a 'total floor area' to 'footprint' ratio comparison (the footprint could include "un-constructable" area around the building)
100%
I like the fact that you’re going back to your DNA and focusing less on SaaS. Not that the latter needs to stop altogether.
Thank you...another great B1M video !!!
Great episode! I was looking for a video for the largest skyscrapers and this answered all my questoins.
That title was cheeky 😂❤ love it
Absolutely fascinating video! Enjoyed every moment of it! Well done, as usual!
I've never gotten goosebumps while watching a video about buildings before... until now.
Amazing video yet again!
Size has many ways to be defined. What if we set scale of the world's biggest buildings by it's overall volume?
But why why would you do that?
Well, probably the Abraj Al-Bait then. Can't imagine being anywhere near that thing at noon.
Japan has really huge skyscrapers. Tokyo Torch is going to be the largest skyscraper with 544,000 square meters floor space.
thanks i haven't heard of this one!
how many books is that?
ok i dont think its 544,000sm for just the torch tower, its pretty short and not that wide.. i think they are counting the entire project with the second building and rec areas and parking, basically the whole thing
@@Queen-dl5ju it is just for the tower. 390m isn't short and building will be crazy wide. If you don't believe just check the official data.
@@ErenRaven i did check, it doesn't say specifically the tower is that big, its the whole project
Keep it up. Excellent presentation
Love the humor guys! Amazing episode. Keep it up!
Great video, greetings from Florida 😁
"The abundance, proximity and presence of skyscrapers in our everyday life"
*Me* : Sad german noises
Cheer up, you have Frankfurt to save the day
Same in UK. There's a strange cultural dislike of skyscrapers in Europe in general I find, which I never really understood. I always kind of liked them personally, they look elegant and futuristic if designed and laid out well. Also condensing more floorspace in the city centre means you're less likely to need a sprawling cityscape spread out over seemingly infinite square kilometers like London, which even then has a lot less skyscrapers as compared with it's size than anything in East Asia or North America. Having moved to Canada, I much prefer the design of the cities here, though they do have their own deficiencies, such as not being walkable enough for instance.
@@decus9544 nah skyscrapers would ruin most European cities, and nowadays there's not much demand for large areas downtown.
@@Forlfir More land used for office and commercial space means less for residential space, driving up residential property value. In addition, high rise doesn't need to just be in the centre, one thing cities like London do right is having kind of micro hubs interspersed around, which increases walkability and reduces commuting times. If these micro hubs and the city centre were denser, it would give the residential areas more areas to expand into rather than into the greenbelt. This would also allow there to be more green spaces and make cities nicer to live in, far from ruining them. You obviously have a different opinion though, so in your view, why would the proliferation of skyscrapers ruin European cities?
Love the intensity!!!! Amazing!!!
Fantastic video! I always wanted to know that! big fan of the channel here!
Dubai: So you are telling me to build one more building!
Today I learnt on TheB1M that it's not the length that matters but the girth.
Technically, what matters is how to use it. Ofc I am talking about skyscrapers!
Thanks Fred. I think you started an interesting comparison with this video.
Spectacular video!! Well done!
Everyone has to kick the bucket, just do right things in your life. God bless u.

Haha, I love how two of my absolute favourite skyscrapers ever, the Ping An Finance Center, and the Sears, oh sorry, Willis Tower top this list!
let's just forget the new name and stick with Sears Tower 😉
My idea : a building that’s a square mile in footprint in the middle of nowhere in Kansas.
AMAZING, footage. Also great video. 👏👏

Very interesting comparisons. Thanks a lot!
it is the best part of my day when i see that B1M has posted another video
I expected to see an illustration of Shanghai Tower next to steinway tower to demonstrate its monstrosity compared to New York's skinny residential towers
Yeah, I can't believe that that New York tower has less than half the floor space of Buckingham Palace. That's just embarassing.

ahh yes, the good old football fields measuring system 🥰 Americans will do anything to NOT use the metric system 😂
In Germany they do this, too (football/soccer), I can't stand it as I'm not into it and always forget how big they are... :-/
How about Football pitch?
4Ke Scythe, your rush to try to trash Americans showed your own ignorance. For starters, the narrator sounds a lot more like he’s British than American. Also, if you had paid attention to the “football pitch” graphic that was used, you’d see that the field was what an American would have called a soccer field, not a football field. Bash us as often as you like. There’s certainly many reasons to do so. It makes you look pretty pathetic, though, when you can’t even do it correctly.
I think he is British
thankfully it's pretty easy to convert m² to hectare which is something that makes more sense for large scale area measurement in my mind (it's a square of 100x100 meters, and it's worth 10000 m²)
Major props for putting this into perspective.

Talking of investment, Ethereum and Bitcoin are the top cryptos to invest in. Bitcoin is doing better than anything else at the moment. Better than stocks though most people fail to admit it
Exactly!

Bitcoin is the future, investing in it now will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise.
For real bitcoin is very profitable.
How does this whole bitcoin works, I'm interested in it And I'm willing and ready to invest heavily in it but I'm gonna need an assistant from any trusted and productive professional.
Fantastic video, really interest topic. Nicely done.
