"Dubai's Burj Khalifa is the tallest building. Who will top them? "
Dubai: starts building sidewayyyyyyys
Lol
Jeddah: "We will top it! This is a building taller than yours!"
Dubai: "We will take the record back to Dubai! This is a tower taller than yours!"
Jeddah: "Oh damn, this is expensive. We're out."
Dubai: "Now there's only us left in the race! We are guaranteed to win! ... wait, we already have the winning tower, and this IS damn expensive! Y'know what, Burj Khalifa is tall enough as it is."
Result: Two half-built towers, billions spent, status quo unchanged.
@@justinbraylon8433 i'll tell you : no one care.
Creek tower didn't started , I used to work in dubai creek residency that is near site of creek tower. But my 3 month visit no work done . Or no human came at site

So true lol
Me not knowing what a cantilever is:
Ah yes, impressive
@Kwistenbiebel200
Wrong. It's cantilevered from Building A out. A cantilever doesn't reference how it's attached. The cantilever references the structure jutting out from a structure without support on the end of the portion jutting out. This is a cantilever structure.
@Kwistenbiebel200 Exactly!
@Kwistenbiebel200
No it doesn't. the video is clear from the beginning how it attaches to the two buildings.
If it cantilevers out from building A 1 foot, it's a cantilever.
It's a lever that cantis. Obviously.
@Kwistenbiebel200 Thank you! Thats what I thought at first after having seen the video. The title got me thinking that this was going to be the longest cantilever but it was disappointing when a short span of the other end was the only cantilever. The rest is just simply supported. This is pretty much making it an illusion of a long cantilever.
Dubai is playing Cities Skylines with unlimited money on.
Lol good analogy.
Hell yeah 😅
Not much spent on sensible planning, much less than vanity
they obviously can afford the dlc
@@Luca-nu2zg Don't worry they have unlimited oil and ore enabled

Better than TV.
@VEE3RDEYE AMEN!
True. Very Underrated channel and deserves more subscribers.
I'm surprised seeing you here. I used to watch your channel years ago.
Wait till you realise the producer is Adam Savage
Saw this yesterday on my way and was wondering what it was and here's B1M explaining it.
Since last two days i m also watching this building curiously from dubai metro😂
All of us live vicariously through you two. Would love to live in Dubai!
And here you are telling us about your experience
Me too. I usually travel from near it and never knew about the cantilever until now lol
Same here. I see it almost everyday and thought it was some sort of a crane, that is how humongous. But this is even better!

@@freedomconsciousness8388 you’re so obsessed you need to get a life. People always have shit to say about Dubai. It’s pathetic, go cry about the gun laws in America.
@@lets_wrapitup I'll not say to you were I'm from but I know the truth about the evil hypocritie UAE
From an architectural point of view, Dubai never fails to amaze.
Really? There's so much average dross in Dubai
At sunset it really looks like a scene from *Blade Runner* 😳
Impressive indeed...but after a very short period the awe fades really quickly and you realize it's a soulless city, *ZERO* culture, zero tradition. I mean 90% of the people you'll see around are SE Asian workers from Bangladesh, Philippines and so on. You can't walk outside during the day for like 9 months / year because of the high temperatures so you're just jumping from the office, to the mall, to the hotel and gym. That's about it.
@@SpaghettiKillah You can find some of the culture of the UAE in Old Dubai near the Dubai Creek. Its my favourite place to visit in Dubai but I agree it's a sterile city in many areas designed to be impressive but lacking the personal stories that make a city in many areas. I love to visit Dubai but I never stay for more than a few days at a time. It's more of a stopover in my mind. A nice place to break up a journey.
If only they held the same high standards for human rights lol
Noah Bowie
Thx for the info. I agree it can only be a stop over city. I was there for a week for work reasons but had a lot of free time to explore. Couldn't wait to come back to Italy after the 4th day already 😁
I wasn’t too impressed until they started to raise that massive bridge 😳
Neither were the foundations.
Engineering-wise it is impressive but overall it is an ugly design.
Actually, the idea of inclined towers that will be correctly placed after the bridge is great.

ooh, your comment got pinned.
they established it with oil money and nothing else lmao 😂
And half filled skyscrapers
@Ankit Meher Dubai is HEAVILY reliant on crude oil, like others have said, in the long term they will no longer be what they once were. Relying on tourism is pathetic in its own way, and multinational companies are there... Yep, BECAUSE OF OIL.
Dumbass.
Or China
Dubai’s growth is just out of this world. It feels like the city’s size doubles in every documentary I watch. it’s just stunning!
ehhh middle class is shrinking at an incredible rate- we were one of them. If you’re an expat, its not a great experience to live there long term

From my office window, I have direct line of sight to this building during its construction!

I am impressed.
The quality of these videos are always fantastic, i literally can’t stop watching them.
Had the circumstances shifted a little for myself, i probably would he studying architecture, instead of computer science currently. Live in nyc and absolutely adore construction. Thanks for all your great content B1M!
Please stop promoting Dubai, its a human rights disaster and the city affords its luxury through exploitation and literal slavery. Please stop supporting slavery, you are indirect supporting slavery. Please understand this and put morality above your bank balance. I am a long time viewer and lover of your channel.
@@jerimayavondristen9955 what city do you live in? Pretty sure every city has this problem.

Thanks for this bro. Love your work keep up the great work. We are constantly learning from your BIM videos.
Amazing as always.

How futuristic you want your city to look
Dubai: Yes
Wow what a mind blowing piece of architecture and engineering. Thank you for shedding light to its construction process!
Wow Stunning... Great Video as always Keep up the good work!!!
Dubai : Built The Biggest / Largest or Die
Increasingly often, the projects seem to go for the latter option.
@@Codraroll Kingda think he's talking about the workers.
The CCTV Building has a 75m cantilever according to Google. I saw one source that said this is 66m. The ratio of the cantilever is 5.5 diamonds long to 1.5 diamonds high. It looks to be around 5 stories high. 66m would make sense if the typical floor to floor height was 3.6m, a reasonable figure. Even if this was 4m the cantilever would be 73.3m, less than the CCTV Building. I'm dubious, but we'll see the official figure when the tower is opened I suppose.
Floors are quite high on a skyscraper so 4.1 meter or 4.2 are possible
THE BEST channel on youtube. Great work
Love videos about things in Dubai! More like this!

@@brianm3160 basically find a job which is extremely difficult
@@AhmedYehias lol
Not your typical Dubai flashy style but instead flashy underneath the skin. Amazing addition to the Dubai lineup!
Dubai is an exercise in architectural vacuity. It's not a city, it's a simulacrum ; a collection of architectural parts that only exist because someone has the money to acquire them. A real city is something that grows organically from the natural needs of its culture and activity. Dubai in contrast is like a theme park ; basically Las Vegas without the edge.
Never before have I read something so true!
True, but these days western cities are no where near organic growth, they're not designed around the needs of the people or for making life quality better, these type of cities are usually common in the Mediterranean countries, and some asian countries
@@asmasm9736 so what it attracts the tourists who then attracts the foreign money and inventors who help the state to escape and be self sufficient from fossil Money
It's so interesting to see the city planning of Dubai. Or rather, the total lack of it. The city is a giant patchwork of entirely separate developments, each designed not to connect to its neighbours in any meaningful way, with one developer overseeing everything inside its borders. Often, the developments are separated by huge highways that create near-impassable barriers. The city has grown enormously, but still the old town remains the only place that resembles a downtown area. There is no organic growth at all, just a checkerboard of entirely separate masterplans. It seems somehow even worse than US city planning, which says a lot.
Dubai's got competition, Egypt is soon going to be the new tourist hub of the Middle East. Egypt is currently building a new capital that will be the most futuristic in the world and the size of Singapore! It's pretty crazy.
Egypt sucks
Suli Hamd isn't impressed 😂
There's difference between being built and building
Saudi Arabia is also building a huge new city or two. Qatar too. Everyone is trying to compete for the same pie, and mathematics dictate they can't all be successful. At least one of them will fail spectacularly.
Very cool video, neat skyline of the city. Thank you for sharing
Every time i watch this channel it amazes me. I don't know how you pull ot off but thank you guys for all your hard work. It shows even in poor countries, things that are out reach are possible.
Amazing feet of engineering, that skybridge looks like it's not structurally sound to build, hanging in between both towers like that ........ but they've managed it !!!

"Guys, I left my coffee on top of the cantilever. Can we lower it back down now?"
amazing building, and this channel is just astounding
Great video again from the legend 🙏🏿👏🏿
I know, Dubai features some of the most spectacular and advanced buildings on this planet.
But the people working there in the construction-industry are often poor fellows. Working far from home, badly payed and treatened. I think that's a big blemish on those beautiful projects and can't be seen apart from the building sector as a whole in countrys like Dubai and Qatar...
Dubai is a state I believe
@@angryakita3870 it is an emirate, one of the United Arabic Emirates. Not exactly a country, that's true.
Doesn't really matter, they should treat all their inhabitants and workers in a humane way...
The abuse of human rights there is horrendous. Dubai is awful.
Dubai isn't a country.
@who are you "Stop complaining about our human rights abuse!!! We are a rich nation but it's fine to treat them poorly as long as they don't complain, or think that it's better than their nation"
"This is how CONTRACTORS pulled off"... Dubai is a city and part of a country with a rampant culture of purchasing diploma's
To be fair, the main contractor mentioned in the video is local. But as far as I can tell, the project management firm is British, the design firm is Japanese, the architect firm is Canadian, and the workers from India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. Dubai just ordered and paid for the stuff.
@@Codraroll I was looking for this comment so I didn't have to write it. Thanks.
Some beautiful photography there guys!
Hopefully one day i can be rich enough to enjoy something like this when I'm older.. You guys as well..
This is more like a beam with one overhang than a cantilever.
Yup, but that won't break the news.
@@aby0ni Yup, I agree. The majority of the "link" is technically not a cantilever, only the smaller 900-ton piece that was welded to the larger structure at its end. Still impressive though!
My first thoughts too. It's like saying "we're going to build the tallest skyscraper in the world! but it's going to be 300 meters wide..."
Yes this video is actually a stealth advert for the software - downvoted
let’s not forget it’s the longest and by the looks of it, it will remain the only one ever built
nice my dear but today i really need u to save me im broke this year do to covid so i beg u the best with respect to found me 5ghc for food help GOD bless u
I don't understand the point other than bragging rights. Skyscraper construction in general is a superficial game of flaunting wealth.
@@microbios8586 I agree. I think it's hideous. It's similar to the Petronas Towers in KL but that would never stop the marketing gurus in Dubai of dreaming up another useless achievement
Jonathan Brown but it's quite ok if the US or Britain build something so dumb looking as the egg shaped crap or the "bake the sidewalk" walkie talkie monstrosity, Dubai thinks outside the box on infrastructure projects and planning , plus money is no object. Your jealousy is showing.
Respect from Shanghai, both our cities are famous for amazing skyscrapers. Have been to Dubai 3 times, would like to live there!
Incredible architectural achievement, fascinating video!
5 years later: Hey, guys, we need to add two lanes to this freeway.
City planners: Ummm
you just go up on the highway. Several cities have the double-deck approach
No need. There’s 14 already
@@Redridge07 true. But don't you need a lane for the up and down ramps? I guess those could be before and after the tower.
@@Blah115 wow, that piece between the towers didn't look that big to me. Those towers must be a lot farther apart than they look.
B1M, I have a suggestion for your next video:
"Dubai Has Got The Roundest Building in the World.".

Human ingenuity is growing at such a rapid pace that i can barely wrap my head around it. Being a CNC operator and programmer is amazing but these projects blow my mind. How fast we have achieved these feats of engineering is absolutely incredible.

Amazing video my friend 👏🏻
Used to paassby in 2016 riding the metro during the deep foundation work and wondered why they dag so deep on either sides of a standing bridge.... Now I drive on that bridge just to see the beauty of the mega construction even though it's still under construction.... Amazing

فديت بلادي يا ناس 🇦🇪♥️
@Kanda Balam you watch news right
That prechambered consideration got me mind blown 🔥 engineering at its finest.
Great video, and produced by Adam Savage, no less! Question: What are podium levels?
The "base" of the building that usually covers a large portion of the site. Most skyscrapers have a podium at the bottom, for stuff that can't fit in the tower itself. Parking garages, conference halls, some stores, maybe a mall. Things that benefit from being at ground level without all the columns of the tower passing through them.
Its all beautiful until you realize this city is unwalkable
who wants to walk in dubai anyways ?
with that temperature ?
people drive cars instead
I rather drive with that kind of heat lol
during winter it gets pretty cold and it's nice to walk... it's not always too hot here ya know.. it's only during the summer.

Not in the Netherlands. Here there are plenty of things designed for poor people concerning housing, thats called ‘social housing’. But such projecta arent really ompressive or interesting. They have to be cheap and meeting Dutch (and EU) building regulations.
The temptation to move to Dubai just to see their impressive architecture is always present, but then there's B1M😎
