this was a amazing video. wow this places are places that weren't easy to build in the area. I loved all the structures. :)

[@tommygreist9560]

Great work you guy's.....great video.

[@goodkidsam]

These animations are so satisfying...

[@forfangirlingpurposes]

What's the name of the bldgs?? Missing the important part sigh

[@zul5713]

How is there already a dislike

[@GreysonGabble]

Where did my jaw go I dropped it

[@Tis_I_SirJames]

It's a shame we can't build anything that lasts like the pyramids. Oh well, I'm sure someone will find our plastic bottles 10,000 years from now.

[@frankrobinson3839]

True

[@FANATICALLYSICK]

At the 4:00 mark, what's the name of that structure???

[@BEOLKKUL]

Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center

[@hansolowe19]

Very cool but I wish they didn't cut away so (too) soon.

[@hyperelder7789]

What r the names of these

[@jaurequi25]

The narrator is from the cold case files 🤔

[@lindalcoomes]

I hope it is recyclable at least.

[@joaoalbertodosanjosgomes1536]

First to see and last to register that i saw it.

[@joaoalbertodosanjosgomes1536]

💰TALKS. WITH ART OR NO ART.

[@harperwelch5147]

I wonder if the old style pier in Brighton could have been rebuilt for the same or less money? Europe rebuilt whole war damaged cities to what they looked before.

[@fisheyelens876]

My only question in why????

[@joaoalbertodosanjosgomes1536]

Good news, please.

[@HawthorneHillNaturePreserve]

Form and function. What I don’t understand is the excess structures that seems to serve no purpose other than visual effect.

[@manlike_xzy]

Welcome to the world of landmark architecture

[@wynmara74]

Massive architecture? But do you know that architecture elements are resting on structural/civil elements? It means all architectural elements are very much dependent on structural/ civil elements of an structure...a civil engineer can sign an architectural plan even closing his eyes. But an architect can not sign a civil civil or structural plans...that's the difference between an engineer and an architect

[@manlike_xzy]

Who hurt you? Couldn't make it into architecture school??

[@pankajbajaj9578]

India building rollercoaster tunnels going in circles in the Himalayan ranges now using present day tunnel boring machines later getting converted to tunnel hyperloop

[@joaoalbertodosanjosgomes1536]

The first ones will be the last ones.

[@TheRojo387]

_Marvels,_ guys? Or _abominations?_

[@mcaptain97301]

No way! Chinese buildings are falling down all over the country

[@EarthHappenings]

Sure these building are advanced but not as advanced as the structures built by the ancients. They were far more advanced that's why they last thousands of years.

[@fisheyelens876]

Hey, guys let's just build and pave over every inch of the earth so the ultra rich can stand back and high five each other.

[@manlike_xzy]

I hope you live in the Amazon

[@mx.litzix9100]

first

[@skelly5666]

[@jurekorosec5355]

These are all hideous buildings.
