Quite useful... It's the only way Brits can see the Sun by going over the clouds... ;)

They clad the building with corian or fermica 41:51 . That’s cool, but how long will it last the suns uv rays, and the glue the expansion, contraction and the temperatures.

2:44 He sounds like JB Smoove

[@Jason-ml3vs]

That is the most dismal beach I’ve ever seen.

The Brighton i360 is an eyesore that nobody wanted. Its been a failure financially

[@StanleyWilkins]

The royal pavilion wasn’t wanted when 1st built the Brighton centre and so much more and now see how popular such places are. The i360 is no different

[@garrygballard8914]

Big power is needed for these structures. So what and where is this power coming from ??? That is always something left out of these videos. This question is to important these days. If it's not sustainable these structures should not be built. We are only adding to our Earthly problems.

Well one was new public housing - which is desperately needed these days - and the third is a train station, both of which are funded by the government and need to be built anyway. Skyscraper for the very rich is what's unnecessary and wasteful, and that's all funded by private developers looking to make money.

no way, they had a plan? really? who writes this shit? oh the drama? lol

[@peterkompter2417]
