You'd be surprised. There are ways to make sure that structures won't fail, even to very low likelihoods. Essentially, you can add factors of safety to absolutely everything until your computed probability of failure is as low as you want it to be, and it works, because contrary to popular belief, mankind knows physics pretty well.

Very well. They're not subject to guessing and being victim to illusions. They know that some of the funny structures they build are much more likely to remain standing than the building you are currently sitting in, lol. They know how the world around them is constructed, they know the tolerances and limits, YOU do not, lol. Everyone has seen shopping malls that look solid just collapse in on themselves and yet there are ancient bridges that are the original 'gravity defying' structures still stand today. Puts things in context when you think about it properly, doesn't it?!?!?

I don't really know why we don't change? I believe most Americans know both. I learned the metric system around age ten in a small rural community school, So I can't imagine it not being applied in larger city schools,and this was back in the mid 70's Anyway this channel uses the metric system...so I'm just wondering; is the fact that America still uses the imperial measuring system something that bothers you often? An while you're upset about America not using the metric system; don't forget Liberia,and Myanmar also do not use it. So now you have three reason to be annoyed all the time... Oh Snap! I bet you get aggravated when someone writes out the word of a number instead of just writing the number itself. 🤣

What's not known about One Central Park is that the mirrors will calibrate and focus sunlight into a death laser upon any Melbournians in range.

These videos are always of such good quality that I often find myself checking to see what definition it's playing in. I reckon my mind will finally blow when you make the switch to 4K.

I live in Sydney and walk past One Central Park all the time and barely glimpse at it because I'm so used to it being there, but this gives me an appreciation that I would have never probably had! I look forward to your videos every week!

Have seen the cantilevered building in Beijing 3 times over the past decade. It never gets old or comfortable and simply appears like it's going to collapse at any moment. Such a gutsy engineering project!!! The comment about erecting steel members in the morning is of particular brilliance. Good thing I'm not an engineer wouldn't have ever thought of that.

Amazing, interesting, and worthwhile video. These architectural structures are marvels and the future no doubt will bring even more amazing architectural illusions.

I recommend you look at The House on the Rock. It defies all of these structures, and is very impressive. I have walked out on it myself.

I attended an event in Montreal which utilized the aging plaza surrounding the stadium and tower over 7 days in August 2017. The imposing tower must've reopened the following year after renovations as it wasn't open at the time. What I can say about it is that it creates a highly visible and distinctive landmark on that side of the island. Depending on one's location, it may be possible to orient oneself in relation to the Montreal Tower, Mount Royal itself, the commercial high-rises and skyscrapers of downtown, or St. Joseph's Oratory, roughly on the opposite side of the mountain from the Olympic Stadium.

Hi from Montreal! the main feature the tower was supposed to provide - retracting the roof of the olympic stadium - has *never* worked. as others have pointed out, the project went massively overbudget. the city didn't finish paying off the debt they owed on it until 2006 - *30 years* after the games. during this period the city had significant financial problems and there was rampant corruption, especially in the construction sector (it's still there). the stadium itself has been largely unused since then, as both sports franchises that played there regularly went bust and/or left town. one of them (the canadian football team called the Alouettes) came back in the late 90's, but has only ever used the olympic stadium for a handful of playoff games.

They are truly amazing structures tho.

You should have done the Guthrie theaters “never ending bridge”. It is two floors and extends 178 Feet out giving great views of the Mississippi River and the city of Minneapolis from its observation deck. It is a must see if you visit the city Minneapolis MN.

Amazing.

I worked as a salesperson for the company that provided the Rebar for the Grand Canyon skywalk. Almost immediately upon completion of the project, the Hualapai nation occupied the building without compensation, prompting futile legal battles and a cash infusion into the Hualapai treasury. These legal battles coincided with variety of health ailments that befell the principles of the architectural firm, concrete subcontractor, and rebar installer. All three owners of these businesses died suddenly while in the process of attempting to collect owed monies (cancer, heart attack, cancer). It was a strange thing to witness from the periphery.

Another unnervingly overhanging building is the UNASUR HQ in Quito. Although the international organization pretty much collapsed and Ecuador itself wants the building back, the overhanging part seems to be about to collapse, but has already withstanded a fair amount of earthquakes!

Nice video. Some nice structure in this same theme: Vlooybergtoren. But last year it was burned down/exploded by some vandals. Now they are making it bigger than before!
