    @R RQ when did anyone say that the renders were made by this channel. He was just complementing the renders not the creator of this video. He didn't say "YOUR renders". And I'm pretty sure every viewer is aware that this channel's creator takes footage and images from other sources. Take your "wokeness" somewhere else.

As a fan of your channel I would love to see you do a video about Brisbane (my home city) and how it is evolving into Australia's newest world city. Brisbane has some massive infrastructure projects happening, including Brisbane airpots second runway, New international Cruise Terminal, New Metro and Cross River-Rail line, Major development of Queens Wharf site which includes new Casino, Outdoor Cinema and public Viewing Deck including three new skyscrapers. New entertainment centre, called Brisbane Live that will be built on top of the major train station, Roma St Station. Also the most recent redevelopment of Howard Smith Wharf, and the projected redevelopment of Eagle St precinct. If not Brisbane, some focus on some lesser known cities that aren't NY, London, Dubai, Sydney etc... would be awesome too.

    Amazing video I loved it! There is an unprecedented level of development occuring across Australia right now and into the future. You should look into projects in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Brisbane is currently redeveloping much of it's inner CBD and surrounding areas. Particularly the Brisbane Quarter redevelopment which once housed the old courthouse. Additionally the new Queens wharf casino which will consist of a large arc building and sky rise residential living. Currently work on the removal of sediment is nearing completion and is now one of the largest and deepest holes in the ground within a major CBD area. Videos on these projects would be incredible as it would show that Brisbane is emerging as a new world city alongside Melbourne and Sydney. Keep up the great work!

    Living in Toronto all my life, I’m obsessed with skyscraper construction, because in case you didn’t notice, since 2005 R. City has been undergoing the most rapid development of skyscrapers out of almost any city on earth, I’m addicted to them, and to this channel! That seems to be the way of a lot of new projects, even here in Toronto, whereby they take existing structures, strip them down to the bare bones and build them up even bigger than they were before, it’s not just practical but makes incredible economic sense, and without all the chaos of building a skyscraper from the ground up. Currently there are three skyscrapers in Toronto all over 220 m being retrofitted exactly like this building is, it’s not easy, but in the end, it adds so much to the beauty of the skyline, and I’ve always loved Sydney’s skyline, with its iconic opera house and bridge! If it wasn’t for the incredibly long flights to get there, I’d love to go visit, but I don’t think I could handle being stuck on a plane for almost an entire day!

    Great video. Overshadowing and a lack of windows is major problem in the Sydney CBD. Unlike many Asian, Middle Eastern cities, most people don't realise that many of cities buildings share common walls, sometime on all three sides and up to 15 levels high. The streets it fronts onto can be barely 20m wide. The site for the AMP tower is blessed with 3 street frontages and close to the harbour. Not far away from this site is the brilliant EY Tower. A beautiful design, that unfortunately will be swallowed up by buildings up to 100m taller than it on all sides barely 20m away.

    Lovely design at a unique location. I wish we could have further info about the facade design and proposed structural elements which supported the twist or some further figures from investment point of view this would bring clear picture to the channels' followers how investment would cost and payback in certain part of the world. never the less as allays thank you B1M for bringing the best architecture in the world to us your efforts are much appreciated.

    I do always wonder when they go for these odd shapes, how will they clean the windows? Hope it ends up like in the video though, looks amazing, imagine working there with that view, I'd get no work done!
