A History of Observation Tower Design
มุมมอง 7863 หลายเดือนก่อน
Around the world, the skylines of cities are punctuated by Observation Towers. While serving practical functions like hosting communications antennae, observation decks, these strcutres perhaps more importantly serve as symbolic icons of the cities whose skylines they grace. From Paris' Eiffel Tower, to Seattle's Space Needle, Toronto's CN Tower and beyond. 0:00 - Intro 0:44 - Early Modern Towe...
The Future of Lake Shore Drive
มุมมอง 16Kปีที่แล้ว
Chicago's DuSable Lake Shore Drive is undoubtedly an icon. But it's also aging and threatened by increasingly frequent flooding from the lake. A massive project is being proposed right now to redesign and rebuild the northern half of the roadway. But as Chicago considers the future of it's lakefront roadway, it's worth asking - is Lake Shore Drive a public good, or an obstruction?
The Chicago Bungalow: the House that Built a City
มุมมอง 10Kปีที่แล้ว
The Chicago Bungalow is a distinctive and ubiquitous style of house in the city. In fact, there are over 80,000 bungalows in the city, concentrated primarily in an area challenged the “bungalow belt.” Combining good design, sturdy construction and an affordable price point, the bungalow rose to prominence during a time when Chicago was booming, but it persists to this day as a popular home type...
The Growing Movement for Dam Removal
มุมมอง 12Kปีที่แล้ว
Dams have made an extreme impact on our landscapes. While providing great societal benefits like electrical generation, flood control and irrigation for farming, dams have also had an extreme impact on the environment, permanently altering entire river systems and blocking the migration of species like salmon. In recent year, a movement is growing calling for the removal of dams, and several ma...
Where do you build a New Airport?
มุมมอง 3.5Kปีที่แล้ว
New airports are incredibly complicated projects. So when a city outgrows it's old airport, where do they build a new one? Seattle is facing this problem as we speak. In this video, we'll look at the challenges Seattle faces in planning a new airport as well as other examples of similar "greenfield" airports in Denver and around the world. 0:00 Intro 0:55 Seattle's New Airport 2:39 "Greenfield ...
The Problems with the Boring Company
มุมมอง 428ปีที่แล้ว
Elon Musk's Boring Company aims to "solve traffic" by building networks of underground road tunnels. But after years of false starts and underwhelming results, their ability to deliver on their promises is in question. More importantly, the Company seems to be disinterested in building infrastructure that will benefit a society as a whole, but rather a select few. So is the Boring Company, in f...
Seattle’s Gas Works Park
มุมมอง 644ปีที่แล้ว
Once a decimated industrial landscape and now a city park, Seattle's Gas Works Park is a groundbreaking example of landscape remediation on a large scale. It took a visionary group of activists years to slowly transform the polluted site into what today is one of Seattle's most popular parks. At the time, it was the first time a post-industrial site to be converted into a park without the compl...
How does Chicago get its Water?
มุมมอง 15Kปีที่แล้ว
Where does your water come from? Well, if you live in Chicago, the answer is obviously the Great Lakes. But delivering water from Lake Michigan to taps across Chicagoland requires a massive network of infrastructure, most of which goes unnoticed on a daily basis. So how does Chicago get it's water? Let's take a brief look at the history of the city's water infrastructure, from water cribs in th...
A Brief History of Ballpark Design
มุมมอง 52Kปีที่แล้ว
If baseball is America's pastime, baseball stadiums are America's architecture. From early Jewelbox Parks (Fenway Park, Wrigley Field), to concrete donuts and multipurpose stadiums (Oakland Coliseum, Veteran's Stadium), to retro-modern parks (Camden Yards, Busch Stadium, Coors Field), baseball stadiums reflect the changes to a sport and a people over the past century. Let's take a look into wha...

    Highways should never built inside any city. Especially when it block the direct pedestrian access to a lake. It should be completely removed, and replaced by a 2+2 lane arterial road and tram tracks. A regional train line is also an option which runs to the end of the suburbs.

    I am happy as clams the 78 and Lincoln yards are not being built. These corrupt projects do nothing but drain the city of tax dollars that would be spent elsewhere and these boondoggle will surely increase taxes and never live up to the hype. Cities need to move on from dystopian projects like these playgrounds for the elite that will do nothing for the average city resident and invest in neighborhoods that are already great but not gentrified. The 78 and Lincoln Yards are everything that is wrong with urban real estate these days and I would hope projects like these never get built anywhere in western world. They are a scam and should be codified and made illegal.

    I build a ballpark every morning when I put on my boxers. Sadly, no one is flocking to visit. Anyway, there’s a reason the most beloved stadiums/ballparks are all ones which have unique designs that were shaped organically by their surroundings PS - I like your videos. Hopefully, you continue to produce them.

    If they do anything, they should create something like the High Line along the water, but unlike the HL which exploits a defunct elevated rail line, the long park/walkway should incorporate a slender, quiet rail system with low profile rail cars that plugs the gap in transportation along the lakefront and also allows tourists to easily access our museums, beaches, etc.

    1000M has about as much character as O’Hare Airport (I.E., none). It’s too bad the Spire was never built. Its design was very pretty. Instead of a new tallest building, let’s build a massive dome over the entire city and make a real life version of the Truman Show.

    As a Chicago native, I believe the city should deny a building permit for the proposed Tribune East tower. It is much too tall for its site near the Chicago River, and it will destroy the landmark vista of the Wrigley building and Tribune Tower.

      The designer is probably afraid of the attention the tallest building in the city would get. People would debate if the design is worthy of being the tallest building. All of the press the building would get if it was the tallest would be a dream come true for an investor and the project would likely get built much faster.

    Sydney had the Sydney Opera House built as the iconic landmark of Sydney in 1973 during the golden age of observation towers. The iconics of New York City, the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building were built in 1886 and 1931. Both those structures have more than one observation deck real high up relative to their location to the ground of the structure. Furthermore, tall ferris wheels have become a trend since the London Eye was built as a modern icon of London in 1999. Examples include the Singapre Flyer in Singapore built in 2008, the High Roller in Las Vegas built in 2014, and the Seattle Great Wheel in Seattle built in 2012,
