Such a convincing proposal by the architects

[@geddan]

Architects seem to be divided on this topic

[@piknq2]

Great bubbles! Loved it!

[@geddan]

Side note: You can't sound angry when trying to say "Bubbles"

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

love this series, reminds me of 1 minute architecture from another utuber

[@geddan]

Good reference!

[@noahwatson7510]

Really loving this new content!

[@geddan]

Glad to hear it! New video out tomorrow :)

[@justinguiab5604]

[@geddan]

Things take time ;)

The material's nature of reflectivity makes these bubbles sort of invisible or a distorted gateway of another reality. That's what I felt when I saw the structures. 😮

[@Talhakhan-pj4dj]

Fan of the series Gediminas 😊

[@geddan]

They're quite beautiful aren't they :)

[@gustavoadolfolauraespinoza9097]

I love the series

[@geddan]

I love making these type of vids too!

[@Dev1nci]

6:20 there must have been a lot more to it than that because scale and contrast would have been important factors, otherwise you’d have to allow glass skyscrapers too 😄 Surely they’re polished stainless steel, like Coop Himmelblau’s Art Museum in Shenzhen? I’ve bombarded your channel with comments now but it’s only because the vids are very compelling ❤

[@geddan]

Of course scale comes into the equation. Hmm but thinking about it - even if heigh restrictions weren't applied - a high reflective structure observed from the ground mostly reflects the sky - which wouldn't work philosophically in this case. And no worries about the flood, appreciate you taking time to put your thoughts down!

[@Dev1nci]

​@@geddan Okay But what about Ma's 'Rebuilt WTC', it reflects only it's context but I'd argue that it has a scale issue (even though the height is in proportion to its context). And then there's his kindergarten which is unreflective but the scale is at eaves height with the historical buildings. I'm not trying to be difficult man, I just enjoy the discussion :)

[@geddan]

@@Dev1nci Oh reflectivity of the facade is definitely not the only ingredient to a successful soup! Scale and proportion are definitely two more important aspects. But if the focus is on reflectivity - then it has to be seamless and with 0 additional elements that would break the illusion. Most of skyscrapers don't have them - there's still a glazing subdivision grid as well as a partial transparency that clearly defines the boundary of the form as a separate entity.

[@Dev1nci]

@@geddan O I see what you're saying, agreed. Love the project and the your vids :)
