You should consider mural paintings! It's not a must, but murals seem like a natural fit for the empty walls of brutalist proyects

I think it would be incredible if you added eco-brutalist structures to Asturis similar to the Bosco Verticale in Milan, or the Jean Hachette Center in Paris

Dayum. I want this as the setting for the next big open world city rpg.

I'm sad because I doubt there are any good programs to translate cities skylines cities into models you can explore and stuff, but I really want to see this city (and a few others) as explorable 3d environments in like VR or smthn. There doesn't even need to be a game with a story really, just the ability to explore it as if I was a tourist visiting the city.

another great build. But I can't help but feel like the single tower looks a bit awkward, like it could use either more buildings or some kind of concrete around it.

is it just me or does this look like it would be a quite scary neighberhood to walk around it at night?

I think those places are mostly bad because they don’t invest enough into keeping them safe and secure. If you build a place to house those you don’t care about, and who can’t afford to take care of themselves, it will inevitably become a hellhole,regardless of architectural style. On the other hand, the Barbican in London is also Brutalist, but home to a much higher class of tenants, and is quite nice. This place has plenty of greenery and transit access, and will probably turn out OK. I think some water features would have been nice though. And ideally some assets that count as parks in terms of land value. Also not sure what the city services are like there. Probably firefighters are a low priority with everything made of non flammable concrete (though I don’t know if this matters in the game-can cubes even burn?) but some police presence will help with maintaining security. Or does this use mods to make issues like that irrelevant?

What I like the most about brutalism is, that its not as much restrictive as other building styles. The only downside for me is that brutalist architecture lacks colour in many cases.

The train tunnel flanked by the two elevator towers almost looks like a modern brutalist interpretation of the Ishtar gate plus processional way

Have you heard of the “mareterra” project in Monaco? Since the whole new district is getting built on the sea, the ecological question was raised and many measures were taken. Will you do the same in your cities? Imagining how the local government would address the ecological issues could be quite interesting, especially since Asturis kinda popped out of nowhere… Or at least I assume that it isn’t the kind of city that was slowly growing over centuries Awesome video btw.

Presumably it was built up rather quickly due to the presence of the space elevator, which would immediately make a city surrounding it a good idea wherever it's placed. A lot of these structures due to their verticality seem like they might well have been built with the intent of layers being added, but were once only the lowest sections - the flying train system also does this, with well-integrated supports in spite of it being a supposedly unexpected addition to the train station. The last cinematic shots also show that cliffside with all the rail lines on it from a while ago, which has a considerable section of undeveloped land directly above it. Stuff like that might show how the city sprawled with completed buildings and, once they're upgraded, it would then fan out internally to fill in those such spaces as well as rising up.

@@ultmateragnarok8376 well the question is not how the city grows, but how the natural environnement might react after such a sudden change. And also how humans (environmentalists or not) would adress this issue. The Mareterra project had such an issue, and so, they had to find a way to preserve the local environment.

Looks amazing! The pillar sculptures in the park remind me of neolithic standing stones. Maybe the artist wanted to represent the unbroken chain of human lives which spans all those thousands of years between the earliest human architecture and its posterity.

I've never been a big fan of brutalism, but I have to say it fits weirdly well into a tropical context. There is something about the oppressive order it brings to a chaotic environment such as a jungle that really resonates with me. Fantastic work as always man, your stills have improved so much over the past few years of watching your videos. I love that you have the confidence to experiment with new integrations of architectural styles.

Great as always! I just think you could've made a homage to the Stonehenge on that artsy green space

I still want to see some form of museum or history exhibit where the running gag is that what this world calls "remnants of the ancient past" are what we in our world simply call "early 20th Century shit." It's simply too funny to pass up, and would really give some sense of perspective to the world that Asturis inhabits.

Bro, a few years back I randomly stumbled upon Cities Skylines tube and have been watching people build. I found it to be relaxing and entertaining after a long day. I wanted to thank you for providing rich and wonderful content, that I believe will resonate with a lot of viewers. Keep up the good work, I look forward to watching your next one ✌

I think Donald Judd’s concrete blocks at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, TX would have been perfect art sculptures for your art garden

What more could I say, than "it's a masterwork"!? 👍

Very retro-futuristic of you, it has Le Corbusier vibes for sure! I would not worry too much about the uncovered stations, the aesthetic of actually seeing the city move around is paramount. That’s why we don’t do metros after all!

It would be interesting to see more of this sort of "green brutalism" architectural style maybe in some other areas of the city, and not just that riverside area. This build was insane, keep it up!

This build is so badass!

Outstanding. The cuved building under the bridge is fantastic

Thats just crazy. So much creativity in one video. Love the longer episodes.

Amazing job ! The simpler the tool the more creative the artist. It makes me ask : would you make a project based on metabolism architecture ? The destruction of Nakagin tower makes it a good subject and this style would fit right in in Asturis.

You are an artist! Congratulations!!! It is beautiful, functional, it is a masterpiece!!!!!

Grate video but the problem is that concrete absorbs a lot of heat and therefore expands, deforms and wears out. that's why tropical countries tend not to use brutalism much since concrete is the main ingredient

That is dafinily one of my top 3 videos in the KZread and I'm amaze of how it look's it culd be in one movie/series like Halo or one city from Star Trek or Star Wars. Akruas, I realy love u and how u creat this world that I can imagine my self living on. Pleass do never stop making those videos, I'm here since like ep7-8 from Aurelia and I'm from Brazil

Brutalism gets an undeservedly bad rap. A beautiful (or ugly) building can exist in any architectural style, and brutalism is no exception to that. Unfortunately, a lot of brutalist buildings are indeed ugly, and people tend to focus on those examples without really thinking (or even knowing) about all the nice-looking ones.

That new station sort of reminds me of the Honolulu and San Diego convention centers, I like it!

Its just so wow :) It has this artistic style that i love :) Cant wait for the next video. Id love to see more terrassed residential, also some water-flowing or a nice lake with some intensiion to be like a laboratory. With a dome like in glass building in the middle of it.

Since u experiment with brutalism, I would like to recommend looking at Ricardo Bofill work. He did some incredible buildings which I think would fit into the city

Great vid. Love the new series and hope it will last for a few years.

I think for my own satisfaction I would like to see some HK New Cruciform or Y-block apartments used here. This area reminds me of Lai King in Hong Kong.

This mans is an artist.

I think that this part of the city has turned out really well. I don't exactly enjoy the lack of shelters (given it's a tropical city, so hot sun or heavy rain), but I do understand the reasoning as I don't think there would be an easy way to add them without changing the vibes. Like the plain uniform concrete looks good (pretty, but not? Idk a word for it), but putting any form of shelter would mess it up. Even if it was of the same style and not the style of the previous shelters, it just wouldn't really match.

I do think that regardless of how well this looks, it's more of something that would be unique to that part, that district, of the city. Yeah it could be cool to see it expanded, but beyond the expansion I dont think that other parts of the city should have the same look. Yes brutalism can come back, but I think that this part of the city should be its own style.

@BlazingImp77151

Жыл бұрын

And on the topic of other parts of the city, I think it would be cool to see some areas that resemble different cities from different parts of the world. Since this is supposed to be a city built up around the space elevator, it would have people immigrating from all over the world for work and the access to space. I think it would probably have different architectures and stuff to reflect that. Give people the taste of home. So some parts of the city with more traditional architecture or mods to it from all over the world. Like Chinatowns in American and Canadian cities, but for all sorts of countries and not just Asia.

Do you have plans to post the collection of assets that you used for this build, and maybe the procedural objects that you used as well? I’m building quite a number of transit hubs in my city and your videos have been quite inspirational in this regard, but it would also be nice to have the assets and objects you used here so I can more easily experiment and build my own city’s infrastructure.

This is the most beautiful city I've ever seen

Across the river from this area you could consider building an area that's the opposite of brutallist architecture! What is that, I don't know. But it would be cool if you don't have an idea for that side of the river yet. Expaiclly because it would have the bridge connecting the two sides and two opposite styles 🤭

Right now the only way to get that to work is to use the Load Order mod and its tool to make PO load before Additive Shader mod. And this Additive Shader needs to be the deprecated old 2020 version, even though Prop Anarchy replaced it. But it does work alongside it.

It would be great if you could produce more tutorials on PO. I've been trying to use PO more and more and trying to see how you do things but it happens so quickly it's hard to follow along. Things like, how to cut up buildings, placing a surface and stretching it around, and maybe go through what the tools do with example. You do such great work and have an amazing imagination. Thanks.

What are those grass squares called? I’ve seen them used along with concrete and asphalt versions. Been looking for them for a while but every time I find one they won’t turn into procedural objects before I place them. 10:04
