Each decade Melbourne has a defining skyscraper or development that stands out.. In the 70s it was Collins place, in the 80s it was the Rialto, In the 90s it was Melbourne central, in the 00s it was Eureka tower, in the 10s it was Australia 108 and in the 20s It will be this..

I think this building looks absolutely amazing, but I’d have done concerns about the tree aspect of it. First of all there is the soil that adds some significant weight to the overall structure, thus making it even more difficult to construct in an already difficult area. This effect will become even worse when the water is stored inside the soil instead of being drained properly and as fast as possible. Also, trees aren’t exactly plants known for being a particularly good fit for growth in confined spaces (such as a soil box on the balcony on a skyscraper?). Despite the video claiming that the greens will require little maintenance, I think as the trees continue to grow over the years, the maintenance burden will be extremely high and, given the incredible power of a trees roots, especially security critical. Im sure all of those challenges can be solved, the question is: is the added overhead really worth it to give the illusion of a green building? I feel like nature as well as humans would be better off with an overall city design that integrates nature as well as recreational areas instead of such a skyscraper placing a few trees on the balcony

We see you ✊ ✊

i am currently working as an Industrial Carpenter on the Gordie Howe International Bridge project in Detroit, MI. when completed it will be the largest cable stayed bridge in North America. i'd love to see this channel breakdown the feats of engineering that are being accomplished everyday for this project.

Thank you B1M for a fantastic video as usual. Cape Town
