pretty much, haha... I worked for an architect in college and the way he explained things was "architects design it, engineers make sure it stands up" so yeah, the structural engineer essentially takes the architects vision and figures out how to make it actually work... architects then just update according to what the engineer has to put in

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Totally cracked me up, PLUS I got to learn some things. I bet you are a favorite instructor of many, with very good reason.

Started watching your videos a month or two ago. Funniest thing I’ve seen you do yet! Loved it! Informative and entertaining!!❤

I can’t even get through the video without commenting. I’ve been reading The Fountainhead and it got me interested in architecture. The algorithm connected me to your channel and I can’t stop watching! This video is hilarious. It’s like the Arrested Development of KZread videos!

I've been to the House on The Rock in Wisconsin one time and it's infinitiy room is an cantilever also it's an museum with different rooms of collected stuff. The original owner was an world traveler and explorer who had the house built. Then it was turned into an tourist attraction museum.

I'm grateful for the amount of variation your willing to do from your base format. However, I will not miss this TO THE MAX!! voice.

Hi Stuart architect here, love your videos very good at covering concepts for the general public. Now for the architects one thing I would suggest is that yes while cantilevers are cool consider the climate you're designing it in. In colder climates the cantilever will look cool but you're building won't have the benefit of the heat from the earth to help with the energy that a building with a full foundation would. No matter how much closed cell spray foam is used. I've designed some houses in a Lake Michigan community that still has septic systems (though that's changing in the next few years), and building structure in contact with the ground has to be at least 10 ft from any septic structures. One way people get away with maximizing their floor plans is to have the structure cantilever closer to the septic tanks and fields.

Thanks Stewart for giving the shoutout to structural engineers. The key to success is a collaboration between disciplines 👍🏼

I've only known one architecture student, and he never shut up about cantilevers.

If you're ever in Minneapolis take a look at Jean Nouvel's Guthrie Theater on the downtown riverfront. The "Endless Bridge" cantilever is 178 feet (54+ meters) long and two stories high with a belvedere overlooking the Mississippi at the end. Open to the public year-round. It's a spectacular structure. The architect likened it to sticking a 17-story building sideways out of a window.

John Lautner has stated very clearly that he would have never been able to make his legendary contemporary buildings if it was not for his structural engineer. They both loved concrete....

This is a great vid, very informative, super hilarious, and as a woodworker for 25 years its given me badass inspiration !

Published a day before my last birthday! I wish I had had this video when I took Structures back at NCSU School of Design in the 90s. It took me a minute to understand moment of inertia. But once I did, I could calculate those forces like a genius!

😂 this is one unexpected funny video. when the picture with the "member" came-out i just lost it.

Hi there Stewart, you're really nailing it with this more dynamic videos! Its so nice to have good architecture content that goes beyond the niches of grad student subject or the comercial almost real estate agent architects

You had me in stitches with the crow position. 🤣

I enjoy your selection of topics, they are both universally useful yet niche in comparison to a typical architectural/design video. Keep it up! (But also dont feel pressure from the faceless void that is the internet to continue feeding it with content).

I have a hill behind my house. A few years ago I got this idea…to build a house that appears to be floating right off the hill, only making contact with the ground at one point. For support, I imagine a combination of horizontal beams and deep posts, all under the ground in front of the house. I like the idea of cables if they can be concealed. Anyway, this video shows it being done! Thanks! Now I just have to win the lottery!

"That's flex!" gotta have as my new notification sound

I was watching one of your other videos last night and puzzling over how they do small cantilevers around all four sides of a modest early 20th century traditional home. Then KZread throws this at me.

Frankly, the cantilever that terrifies me most is BIG's Vancouver House. With most big boxes you can intuit the method, but that's such a large part of the building, so high up, and such an unwieldy shape. It's a shame that interiors are so pedestrian.

It is important to acknowledge that the primary task for BIG is to get planning permission for a larger building. BIG optimize for more area to sell by being a “star” that breaks normal planning permission rules.

As a C&S Engineer, this kind of eccentric architectural design is what i hate the most as the design and cost are often complicated and higher than conventional design. But at the same time, it's these kind of design that are the most eye catching and interesting to study. A classic case of oxymoron.

Always informative, this video funny too and spot on.

*Flashes back to my intro to physics class*

At 178 feet the cantilever of the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis has some SERIOUS FLEX 💪🏻

just another day where I wish you were my design studio professor at college TT

I just decided my major will be architecture and these damn recommendations are screwing with my head

Thanks for another great video Stewart. Where can someone go really into depth about the structural engineer side of cantilevers? A video from you going in depth would be great.

Came for the architecture, stayed for the moustache.

the explanation with rock music was really fun. hoping to see a 2nd part explaining "Lamar Construction Headquarter."

Upping the epic. Appreciate the shift as well as previous calmer explanations. I’d guess you class might enjoy this exciting shift. “Shift” is a pun for this video… perhaps semantics will come into play, and I’ll be levered out.

I understand the appeal of cantilevers. (As a construction supply designer) I think architect regularly lie to their customers about the value of cantilevers. They push the smaller foundation versus structure size as a cost saving even though cantilevers typically add more in special materials and labor than from any foundation size savings. And depending on the structure- they can add WAY more. I was involved with a non-profit commercial job where the architect refused to add a full foundation under the structure because "it looked too heavy", which added probably an extra $100-200k to the job in materials and labor just so the architect could have a portfolio piece. It was infuriating. Also, I see so many architectural "pictures" (CGI) of houses on architectural design firm webpages with cantilevered decks, floor, and roofs that obviously do not allow for the beams required for such a design. It looks really impressive when you have an 8" thick deck or roof structure sticking way out unsupported. There is a reason those images are CGI. Over sell, under deliver.

This was, uh, very good. Entertaining.

I love your videos. The curving driveway at Silvertop Reiner House is another example of a well-executed cantilever. Unlike the droopy work of Mr. Lloyd Wrong.

When i learned architekture as part of our education we went on a build site to work. It had a very big unsuported overhang with 8 stories above it. The end of the overhang was built 30cm higher for it to be straight when it setles

You absolutely crushed it on this one

Amazing video. Had me giggling away to myself all the way through

Every video should be done in this style... "MAX FLEX"

Fun material for my class as an introduction; Thank you! We are using Mola Kits to explore cantilevers!

This is great 👍 I also love how you’re the doppelgänger of one of my architecture professors. You might even have a better stache!

there are so much opportunity to insert "member" jokes in this video

I'd love to go to the end of that cantilevered building and just start jumping up and down at the right frequency.

I never understood this concept. Lol thanks! Ive got to goto the sketchpad and play around with this.

Dude this was incredible! I learned actual, useful knowledge about architecture without having to be bored!

So what you're saying is there shouldn't be too much load in the member or it'd shear off

Tensegrity structures will be the new hotness.

JUST YESTERDAY I WAS LOOKING UP CANTILEVERS!! YOU WIZARD!

How about the House on the Rock in Wisconsin? Tying it back to a previous video, after visiting there in the middle of a rainstorm and seeing the crazy amount of leaks in the roof of that place I admit I was a little freaked out to go walk out over a crevasse with twenty or thirty other people.

that was way too good, thank you for that

Frank Lloyd Wright should have hired a "trainer" to design the cantilevered balcony of Falling Water. The contractor who was reluctant to remove the scaffolding was on to something. The balcony did start to fail structurally and had to be reinforced at a later time, at significant expense, to keep it from collapsing. Wright was a genius at esthetic design, not so much at structural engineering.

the intro is chef's kiss MAX FLEX

The video where you don't have to be a cantilever fan, but it sure does help.

Can you tell me how the roof / canopy thing on Calatrava's tenerife auditorium works?!

In terms of the load, is it the constant load or the live load that's taken into consideration for a cantilever?

your content is fantastic. keep it up!

Lovely.. needless to say I'm on a Stewart Hicks watching streak ...

That house is literally all my houses in Rust, when I think I found a perfect land, but it ended up being pefrect only for 1 tile and everything else floats above the ground.

Cantilevers have always facinated me but I was too scared that it could never be feasible especially with the technology gap in my country (Philippines). I'll try asking around to see if there have been any advancements/new buildings that use cantilevers

TOTALY AWSOME!

Love your videos!!

The thing that puts me off this impressive type of design is the lack of redundancy. Whilst it looks cool, there is basically a single point of failure, and when human lives are on the line, that's just not acceptable. It should be designed to fail gracefully. Like with that concrete pool, maybe there is a distant earthquake, or ice gets into the surface, it would only take a small crack for that to rapidly propagate into something catastrophic, imagine being in that pool when that happens. Things break, it's a matter of "when" not "if". WHEN you need to perform structural maintenance on something like this, if you even have enough warning or foresight to do so, you want failure to have minimal chance of destroying everything else around it. Ship hulls have multiple compartments. Cars have crumple zones. I don't care how big your architect dick is, if you're putting other people in, on, or around your structure, you better make sure it is BEYOND "safe enough"

This is like a bliss foster video for architecture 😺

This was very, very good.

The most famous American cantilever home is probably Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater. My brother who did carpentry and drafting had a framed picture of it. I would love to have a house with a cantilevered wing over a creek in the forest.

What do the footings of the Richard Rogers building look like? Must be more to it than just simple footings.

@timmmahhhh

Great point, obviously the sketch for the example was very conceptual and the footing would certainly have to be designed appropriately. The fulcrum support obviously sized to handle the serious point load, and the anchor to handle the uplift. A structural engineer, excuse me trainer, haha, was surely involved.

there is this building called "palácio da abolição" it stands in Fortaleza - Ceará - Brazil and that is a pretty impressive Cantilever... maybe my favorite because I see it kind of regularly...
