eventhough tokyo is the most populated city in the world and never fail to amaze me how organize everything are, from houses to roads and train line. it is majestic and beautiful.
Thank you, but the streets are often not organized in Tokyo, I would say... No set-back rules, sidewalk mandates, or even size, shape, direction requirements for roads...
Tokyo isn't particulary well organized but for a city (rather a collection of cities) that big, it isn't that bad. If you want a well organized Japanese city you should go to Nagoya, it doesn't even look as the 3rd largest metropolitan area, after of course Tokyo (Kanto) and Kyoto/Osaka (Kansai).
Another thing: Japan already has a supertall skyscraper, just not in Tokyo. It's Abeno Harukas in Osaka, which is exactly 300m tall. Yokohama Landmark tower comes close, at 296 meters, and it's in Yokohama, a suburb/satellite city of Tokyo.
It is truly amazing how a city that is so big, can be so efficient. When you look at other cities with Urban sprawl that have countless issues, it really makes you understand how smartly built Tokyo is. Incredible place. Love all the content!
I'm so glad I live in Japan. Everything is just so orderly here, like a bubble of peace in a world collapsing in chaos. Wife and I moved here more than a decade ago and as we see the news from other countries (and of back home) I feel like we made one of the best decisions of our lives to be here.
Unfortunately Japan is being gradually destroyed by western liberal fundamentalist ideology being forced down it's throat. In a few decades it may become just like downtown portland zombie wasteland.
A reason why I love Japan is that the country itself adapts to its environment. They're always 10 steps ahead, from technology to safety against earthquakes.
Studying resonance and harmonics was the most fascinating subject for me from the suspension in bridges and the 660 ton steel ball in the Taipei skyscraper
Of course, not all Japanese live in Tokyo, and there are probably some Japanese who have never been to Tokyo in their lifetimes. I live in the southern part of Japan, far from Tokyo, and Tokyo feels like a foreign country to me. The night view of Tokyo from the window of the large bathroom at the top of the hotel where I stayed was fantastic. And, surprisingly, I found the air in Tokyo to be very clean. I remember the sky was very blue.
I'm headed to Tokyo in two weeks. So hyped! In 2019 I was on the Tokyo Tower observation deck and saw a large clearing and some demolition and thought, "what's going on down there?" Now I know!
It's called Azabudai Hills. I will be renting here when it's complete. My previous apartments were all by the same developer so I have no doubt they will do a great job with the interior. The perks of living in a higher-end apartment like this is they have all the amenities so I don't have to pay separate for a gym which can cost $200 a month, and things like Karaoke rooms, concierge to collect your packages when you're out, ease of access to shops and restaurants for late night munching, golf simulators and many more. Did I mention a pool? Japanese apartments, even high-end ones almost never have pools. This is one of the few ones.
Really appreciate that the B1M team decides to cover on the Azabudai Hills project by Mori Building, covering the engineering aspects of the project, on how it was designed to withstand earthquake. B1M's videos in the past not only features the engineering aspect of projects, but also the social and environmental aspects of it, which I think also fascinates me for all the projects that Mori Building has build. Mori Building pioneered the redevelopment in Tokyo since the 1970s, with renowned projects including ARK Hills, Toranomon Hills, Roppongi Hills, where they successfully persuaded households to support these massive redevelopment projects by visiting each house and shops to convince them the advantages of the redevelopment. Also, Mori Building envisioned that these mixed-use redevelopments would allow its tenants to work and live in the same area, reducing the need for commuting and relieve the load on public transport. Of course, not to mention that they tear down the shorter and densely-packed buildings to build skyscrapers, providing a larger green public space. Hope there could also be a video by B1M about these aspects of Mori Building's redevelopment. 😉
I know, makes me very sad. I remember when Tokyo Tower stood way above any other structure in the city--you could see it from anywhere from miles away. Sadly the same is about to happen to the Chrysler Building in New York. Perhaps this city's most beloved skyscraper, it may soon be dwarfed by the "Commodore Tower" that will be directly across Lexington Avenue.
It seems Tokyo tower is now part of Tokyo's past, it looks better from Roppongi hills, Skytree is the telecommunications center and the new skyscraper will offer better views (not the least that you can see the tower up close).
Earthquakes is major reason, but we must not forget that Haneda Airport is nearby. The project area has 220m height limit, but Tokyo Tower, witch has 333m by the area, makes an exception for same height. Azabudai Hills will be the tallest building only for 2027, when the "Tokyo torch" will be built on the area with no height limit.
Japan and Turkiye are polar opposites. Japan made sure building regulations are enforced to ensure it can withstand powerful earthquakes. While Turkiye is marred by corruption that's why their buildings are not built within standards.
@@max3446 What I meant was, Tokyo’s the largest City in the world, but when compared up against other global cities it doesn’t have the same amount of skyscrapers or tall buildings. This isn’t inherently a bad thing though! Tokyo is a beautiful City - much more so than other cities with more talls
@@GeekyMedia because Tokyo has multiple downtown areas. If Tokyo was more like New York where almost every office wants to be in Manhattan then they'd end up building way higher. About at third of the stations around the Yamanote line are major downtown areas that spread out the office space demand.
I hope for a video analyzing the reasons why one region in Turkey had no deaths and building collapses while the neighboring regions had devastating collapses and 30 000+ deaths.
4:12 That's a major mistake on the name, "Azabudai" shouldn't be pronounced with /di/ sound, as "Dai" means terrace in Japanese and literally is meaning the terrace for Azabu district and it's pronounced as /dai/ as how it looked like.
glass buildings might have been interestign as one offs, but buildinging them on nearly every city on the planet exemplifies their already cold and harsh and bland exterior, there is very little chance to make a glass skyscraper look unique, even when you do, it still retains that same cold feel.
Here in the states, I THINK by the San Andreas Fault, they LITERALLY put some of the skyscrapers on hug ball bearing modules. The steel balls were about 3 meters wide!
Azabudai is pronunced like aza-bu-die... not aza-booty 😅But this is a really cool video on modern Japanese architecture! Thanks for showing this to the world!

We Japanese don't like quakes either. Although we are used to them, we still hate them. ALL construction here is quake and typhoon resistant, with water pipes, power lines, and other utilities routed through flexible attachments as much as possible, and force-dispersion built into every single project.

It’s good to see British multinational professional services firm, Arup helping the Japanese build this super tall structure in Tokyo, by providing the calculations on how it will cope in an earthquake situation. The British have always been innovative but a lot of our best architects, civil engineers and other help build great structures abroad, and not so much in the U.K.
I left engineering for politics a couple years into a dual degree in Materials Science and Mechanical Engineering, because I didn't quite fancy the thought of sitting around in a room doing math all day (then still ending up doing exactly that but with statistics instead thanks to the pandemic), but my overly-simplified metaphor is, imaging building a stretched, widebody Rolls Royce Cullinan (the SUV), maintain the floating on a cloud suspension using a combo of mechanical dampers and air suspension. Now stand it on it's rear bumper, and keep that incredibly smooth rolls royce suspension characteristics, got it? *_Good_* now go hire Flavio Briatore in peak 2005, 2006 form and the engineers behind the R25 Championship winning F1 car that utilized a mass damper to balance out Fernando Alonso's aggressive turning technique, now make it 300m tall and drop kick it sparta style, but with Hercules' strength off a very, very tall cliff. Then have an extremely firm springboard placed such that it's perfectly perpendicular to the surface the 300m sized Rolls Royce Cullinan will strike it that best allows it to be kicked back onto the cliff, at the same acceleration, and force that it was kicked off of the cliff with, does it sound hard enough yet? Well it's even harder than that, and even harder than it was to make this metaphor work, now times it by 10 if you're feeling arrogant or generous, cube that, we've reached 20% the difficulty of designing that unimaginatively named building is if it works as it should. Hats off to those engineers, and massively wrinkled, very comlex big grains.
How many months/Videos is your masterworks contract suppose to last?? I would have thought that by now you would have stopped promoting them. They’re very sus They only promote the potential gain without clearly disclosing the potential for 100% loss or their constant hidden charges.
I guess when you're building Tokyo's first supertall skyscraper, you can't cut corners - unless those corners are 45-degree angles for some seriously cool engineering!"
Ah, finally. Tokyo is now going to build supertall, while the Shimizu Megacity Pyramid is still well over a century or so away. However, the name of that tower "Main Tower", sorry to say, but imo its a bit generic.
It may not be considered very tall compared to other super talls in the world but to me the sheer width of that building makes it look more impressive and imposing. I've noticed this seems to be design trend in the rest of Tokyo as well, all the taller skyscrapers have "fatness" to them.
From 42 million people in 2005 to only 37 million in 2020... I started to see how it is possible that 8% of the city is abandoned. Tokyo is a great city but is difficult to live there, I prefer more small cities on Japan like Osaka or

The fact that this country has been building earthquake-resistant towers since pretty much the medieval era is mindblowing
