Hi

[@julianjulian9240]

BTW, your code doesn't work

[@boristheorange]

@julian you probably mistyped

[@ATLASHRGGD64]

wrong I went to buy a wallett and they only took 5% off NOT 55%. What are you trying to pull? 5% is NOT even close to being up to 55% SACM!

[@jsnow2790]

Can’t stand everyone pushing these new wallets. As a banker can’t stand people destroying their money and checks then expecting our machines to accept them, and personally don’t like that there’s no photo spots. If you really want to shrink your wallet then go all digital. I’d like to see better traditional wallets.

[@KimMcCumber]

It's an interesting list, though most of them haven't been built yet (the title and description imply that the buildings exist). The Spiral is the one building in this list that I don't feel is particularly strange and including it at #3 seems pretty odd considering the other candidates.

[@hiddendagger7]

i agree fr

[@Meisje_and_Me]

more clickbait then adding something. 😂

[@ws1814]

Honestly the most interesting one was the Tower of Life from Senegal. It seemed to have actual passive green technologies, while rest were just wasteful buildings that were greenwashed using typical add ones like solar panels etc.

[@akolyt]

lol it will never be built

[@DavidMcFarner]

Iconic, iconic iconic. Iconic, iconic, iconic iconic iconic. Iconic! ICONIC!!!

[@luxurylifestyleinfo]

The strongest buildings in the world are engineering marvels that showcase human innovation and durability. These structures are built to withstand the harshest of natural forces and provide a sense of safety and stability for their occupants. From the Burj Khalifa's impressive height to the Hoover Dam's resilience against water pressure, these buildings are a testament to our ability to conquer the elements and push the boundaries of construction.

[@stinspinofficial]

I appreciate that they record a video of their commentary now. There are so many channels that use text-to-speech so it's nice to know these ones are authentic.

[@RSCB]

yeah this one is really good

[@86samsky]

The Strada residential tower in south London had wind turbines as a feature on the roof. After a few weeks they turned them off and have never spun since (as far as I'm aware). Who would have thought people don't want to listen to the drumming sound of a turbine all day and night

[@lluucasiscool]

imagine aliens watching this video trying to understand us

[@Poopdoopfroop]

Wtf

[@auvomesilampi6325]

The aliens think only the function matters?

[@AhuraCraft]

@lluucasiscool I think The Aliens are watching the vid To

[@aliensam2579]

I am alien 👽. Is hard to understand what the humans is doing ?lol 😂😂

[@GoldenLuxuryElite-2024]

They probably think we are crazy

[@haihe324]

I don't think you should count something if it hasn't been built yet.

[@MegaBuildsYT]

Do you know of any other strange looking buildings that we missed in this list?😎👇

[@EmeraldIslandGaming]

Hi Again

[@JurassicTheory592]

The Alcove tower in Nashville, TN.

[@AhuraCraft]

The Dubai Creek Tower

[@benwalter4842]

New York City is constructing a hotel tower with an observation tower/vertical drop tower on top of it. The address of the building is 740 8th Ave. There is also the uniquely designed Penn 15 (yes that is the actual name), the new JPMorgan headquarters at 240 Park Ave with an interesting base, Tower Fish, with its interesting observation deck layout, 80 Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn, and a couple interesting waterfront twisted towers, also in Brooklyn ( next to the Domino Sugar Factory redevelopment site).

[@imfa7isbiitch149]

Mahanakhon in Thailand.

[@athaphian]

Video should have been titled: The Strangest Buildings in the World, that don't exist.

[@betterechoes]

Number 9 on this list reminds me of MVRDV Valley in Amsterdam. Super cool building!

[@agganees]

same architects

[@baur_berdeshev]

baobab tower looks interesting!

[@everythingisawesome8721]

Very nice video! When I watch it I look forward to the future. Hoping to see many of these projects go through. Especially those that focus on eco friendly environment.

[@munwarumrani3465]

8:16 The Tower of Life is my favorite one

[@user-4in4nxDonaldRennie]

So many shots of Vancouver House were shown on the segment of the Alberni I thought the two had been mixed up. Maybe they were? Vancouver House is skyscraper next to the Granville bridge on the north side of False creek, that has won several awards including CTBUH's Best Tall Building Worldwide in 2021. Coal harbour (the view of which the Alberni is designed not to block) is on the other side of Vancouver's downtown.

[@2b522]

I hope in the future will build these buildings❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

[@MrMackievelli]

I don't care how strong the core is for the Affirmation there is no way it can hold up long term with such a top heavy design.

[@myutube68]

Bit of a mistake for Vancouver ... you were showing images of Bjarke Ingels Vancouver House when you were talking about the Alberni. The latter is overlooking Coal Harbour but the former is on the other side of downtown overlooking False Creek. You should do a segment on the Ingels tower though as it's pretty amazing!

[@GothGuy885]

1:49 just hope a giant doesn't try to play Jenga with this building.

[@Tankrat6]

A bit disappointing where that 3 of buildings have actually been built all the others are on the drawing board.

[@user-yb1jn6gx5i]

😮All These structures 🏗️are unique in design ,shape construction and excavation 🚜

[@somamisra6350]

Very nice ❤

[@indigofuture]

Great video!

[@MegaBuildsYT]

thank you :)

[@ovichowdhury07]

10:43 what about the wind turbine noise? 🙄

[@krisgonynor689]

Or the vibrations they would cause?

[@verebellus]

love your videos, but the facecam could be a little bit improved by changing your shutter speed to 1/50 to make it look more natural☺️☺️

[@zionavey1673]

Nice concept buildings.

[@LeagueofJay137]

Awesome video

[@tariqkhan3735]

Wow so ammazing 👍👍👍

[@ReneOo]

La torre de la vida es el proyecto que más me impresionó.

[@scottchaplin3465]

The renderings for Dubai city tower are pretty wild

[@Xlanglang]

You have a such pleasant voice to listing.😊

[@DamianLewd]

Definitely want his lil bonus

[@GoldenLuxuryElite-2024]

Woow another banger amazing

[@larrymondello8475]

Thank you

[@swatbeauty9753]

Great sir

[@MegaBuildsYT]

thanks!

[@lbanting]

Well, Calgary’s Telus Sky doesn’t seem so weird after all!

[@diane20navarro]

I’m from Vancouver

[@marvelloussaketh]

2:09 Actually, there is a Residential Developemnt in Singapore like The Oasis Towers called Marina One Residences.

[@michaelg4931]

It may be like The Oasis Towers but it is really ugly from outside of the development where The Oasis Towers are actually pleasing to the eye. If they actually include the vegetation as depicted, that is. Otherwise it will look like crap as shown in The Valley in Amsterdam comparing artists renditions vs real life execution.

[@jn4350]

There is also a project in Paris called "Tour Triangle" that could have been part of the video

[@noursaccount]

MY DAD WORKED AT ALDAR HEADQUARTERS! they changed it tho

[@munwarumrani3465]

I want the old Top Luxury 💖

[@axxxonn]

It's the same type of content they always had.

[@WYO_Dirtbag]

I don't think clay as any part of an outer facade would be a good idea.

[@Mantisman6233]

You're not wrong. Strong wind or an earthquake could send tons of clay falling down on people below. It's a terrible idea.

[@michaelg4931]

But, but.... IT'S SUSTAINABLE!!! 😜

[@katherinebrubaker7788]

Does the SRG Tower remind anyone else of the Shanghai World Financial Center?

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

Tower of Life Looks Cool As Heck.... Would Be Amazing On Bands of Congo and or On One Of Africa's Great Lakes Since It Could Be In Central Africa.

[@supanatleelaruangsang5637]

Mahanakorn building in Thailand is also great

[@user-kj8yl6sn2z]

I suggest that you talk about the most beautiful buildings in the world. I will choose for you: the Museum of the Future in Dubai, the Ithraa Building in Dhahran, the Hall of Mirrors in AlUla, the National Museum of Qatar, and the King Abdullah Center for Petroleum Studies and Research.

[@peteroni21]

and most beautiful skyscrapers

[@SalahAlGhamdi]

Check out Ithra buidling in Dhahran City of Saudi Arabia, its owned by the Oli Company Saudi Aramco, you will be amazed by its beauty

[@memesfarsi3111]

Really love this video, I think we definitely want to see this topic of "top 10 stranger _______ in the world" Could be anything

[@rinotilde2699]

I've watched the documentary about the Aldad Headquarters

[@StLouis-yu9iz]

Or the Chinese gateway could be compared to, I don't lnow... the GATEWAY ARCH?! Which is taller than the Washington Monument. It also symbolizes the convergence of two great rivers so not sure why you didn't make this obvious comparison instead.

[@denniswrande6004]

Wow these buildings are sure have good architecture but they are weird and cool i wonder how the Architects who build the buildings came up with the ideas i wonder.

[@thehalfman1234]

Ternary Tower= beans

[@amitrockz1158]

You have only 159 videos dude and I have watched half of the videos in two days..

[@Carspotter682]

I got a suggestion for you. How bout you make a video of the top ten tallest skyscrapers in Chicago, Illinois and please make sure you only include the skyscrapers that are already completed.

[@michaelg4931]

Why would he make a video of a bunch of shacks in comparison to what is built/being built in other cities in the world?

[@JustCube12]

hi

[@philipmurphy2]

Getting quite good at skipping sponsors/adverts nowadays too

[@FirstNumber1]

9:21 I feel like something like this should be built on smaller scale to see if ot would work

[@MorningGlory62]

I can understand, wanting to maximize natural sunlight., but other than that, the buildings are hideous.

[@unoverse0168]

I like how they reused a thumbnail from an already posted video on their channel.

[@mvking6105]

I'm pretty sure Number 4 is Wakanda

[@annettg1202]

These buildings make so much shadow. I don't want to live nearby.

[@davidwebb4904]

#2 Built in wind turbines does not work. London tried it years ago. It had to be deactivated due to nouse complaints.

[@_baert]

I highly doubt the one in Dakar will ever get built.

[@makhtardiop4203]

So why You say that ?

[@1lovesgreatness]

The Trans America building in SF amd the Prudential building in Boston

[@Ipoop7colors]

You say there are no buildings like the Oasis Tower. Look up The Valley in Amsterdam. Also I think the Spiral isn't crazy looking at all.

[@michaelg4931]

The artists renditions of The Valley look great, the actual end result looks like crap. In the renditions, there's vegetation up the towers but in real life, it's a just a jumbled mess of concrete and glass.

[@snakeboy695]

The second one is just an abandoned building

[@CarsonHunter]

Affirmation Tower is such an eye sore

[@JJzerro]

12:23 So in american foots it will be higher or what?)

[@user-rr7qp1po4r]

SOHO tower in New York

[@lluhu]

0:30 Semispherical?…where did you learn geometry?

[@LuxeLifeVisions704]

Do you edited video

[@NB-fz9ir]

En équivalent , de tours étranges , en France , on a l'Arche de la Défense (111m; 1989) construite pour le bis centenaires de la Révolution , on a La Tour de Lille (120m 1995) une tour en forme de L sur deux piliers, au dessus d'un autre bâtiment et la futur Tour Triangle à Paris 15e (180m; 2026).

[@robinlamote4467]

👍👍👍👍

[@codydabest]

You showed the wrong building in Vancouver a handful of times. You also showed the wrong harbour. Source: I lived there

[@julianjulian9240]

This video is pretty much click bait. Disappointing as I liked another video from the same creator. Most of the buildings are "possibilities", contradicting the title

[@newmancl0]

Its not safe to say that second on the list is unique in the world. Looks like a direct ripoff of "Valley" in Amsterdam.

[@Shaukahn]

I worked on the spiral, first I’m hearing of this affirmation tower, but there has been a lot of jobs that require minorities and women on site from each crew. If you ask me it’s wrong, sometimes you have crews of only 2 workers and right there you dictate that one of them must be from a certain demographic

[@axxxonn]

Yeah, what about other minorities that don't get the spotlight? Can this be considered reverse racism? But what do I know?

[@RokidMedia]

Number9 nothing special, Amsterdam also have a building like that

[@jkecollins]

The Tree of Life one wins!

[@jonathans6476]

The affirmation tower won’t work.

[@SHAKTI_MAN]

My brain can't compete with those architects, So I'm out👍

[@jsyotam]

Nooooo I totally didn’t like my own comment

[@jovaun8863]

😂

[@user-rr7qp1po4r]

Elysee tower in miami

[@johngraves6878]

Extraordinary geometry. What it looks like to me is an illustration of the enormous gap between the wealthy and the poor.

[@JWFalsetta]

Coud do WITHOUT the shots with you in them LOUSY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[@deltastrike7]

Whilst it’s good to have a face to the channel, the audio quality suffers with it.

[@MegaBuildsYT]

Yes, we are trying to improve it. The audio quality will be better in a voiceover studio. But we still think its worth it to record with video. What do you think?

[@deltastrike7]

@@MegaBuildsYT definitely worth it, it gives the videos more personality. Excited to see where the content goes with added video. Maybe on location videos in the future 👀

[@U-Thought]

Buildings I see in "Last Of Us" game 😂

[@jesus2639]

The tower of lifes clay exterior would easily fall apart after a storm

[@xmassan20906]

12:55 Nothing says inclusivity like a majority team of one group of people. Yeah, progress.

[@ToysToolsandTales]

None of these were real buildings

[@seasong7655]

Combining buildings and renewable energies is such a smart idea. Imagine society if all buildings did this.

[@fleshreap]

adds a ton of extra cost. Usually cheaper to build separately. Also much easier to maintain when separate.

[@gborbe8342]

You should have put a trigger warning for #4. I have trypophobia.

[@trymellow8914]

Do you have a collection of Qurans on your bookshelf or is some other leather backed books?

[@Ug1i]

13:25 Looks like 🍑 beads 🤣💀 🙊

[@troy5094]

My thoughts as a Chinese on the last one: don't build it. Please.

[@Mantisman6233]

Afro pick? Really? Ok....

[@calvin10]

Affirmation Tower sounds more like a propaganda tower to me

[@ZuzuXxMooni]

Put a tripophibia warning next time Before jumpscaring tripophobic people with this (Myself)

[@toms5996]

Thank God Europe as a whole have extremely strict building codes. A building must last time up close and afar. London is a good example on how to build new high-rises that blend into surrounding in the ground level and from afar. The buildings in the video seem detached and I didn't see any pictures close-up.

[@michaelg4931]

LOL. Yeah, The Gherkin totally blends in with the existing architecture.... GTFOH.
