Jacob Hoffman I'm no architect, but I would imagine it would be possible to design an earthscraper that could handle earthquakes, and easy to design one to handle earthquakes as well as regular buildings - by incorporating into the design room for mechanical slides like for bridges (but for more than a few millimeters), or being detached to other parts of the building (i.e. some earthquake-resistant skyscrapers have pillars in the center that are partially disconnected, that provide structural support, even in earthquakes).

Why bother with the complicated mirrors? Mirrors have loss. To the point where you'd be better off using solar panels and artificial lights at some point. And of course it's also true you will probably need extra artificial lighting even in the day, so mirrors and prisms seem a pointless complication.

eehm. I have issues with this. I live in an area with a relatively high water table so I may be more aware of this than others. but that inverted triangle would essentially be a giant boat. we have had issues here with semi-submerged parking garages forcing themselves out of the ground after a lot of rain.

Somehow to me that seems quite dangerous to build such a structure in geological active places, like proposed in Japan or Mexico City. I mean, Skyscrapers are allready prone to collapse in such regions, an underground structure seems even more dangerous to me to its inhabitants.

There is a mall in mexico city that is not an earthscraper but its a complex of 3 buildings that go down just like a earthscraper, called Garden Santa Fe.

Y'know in Copenhagen we have metro stations which could be considered earthscrapers, since they're big boxes with the deepest point about 150ft underground with a clear view towards the surface above with glass windows, the sides of the station extending directly above the train tracks could in theory be used for office space too if rebuilt slightly. So yeah you could say that these metro stations are like mini earth scrapers

Man we love your videos! 👍

Excellent video. Thank You. Just combine the two, Ground Scraper & Earth Scraper into a Hybrid Ground /Tunnel Scraper. It can several miles long and one can have light residential, commercial, & retail Development around the Light Shafts of the Tunnel Sections. Plus it could have it's own light rail transit system.

the 'scraper' series has some serious undertones if something goes wrong and the homes suddenly become prisons.

Can't wait for the space scrapers: scrapers that reach the heavens. Hanging scrapers: scrapers that hang down from outer space attaching back to Earth. And floating scrapers: scrapers that go up and down in the sky.

There have been a few proposals for an Earthscraper in Bisbee Arizona's Lavender pit mine. It is a large open pit, roughly conical. Most of the digging's already been done. Problem is, real estate prices are too low in Southeast Arizona to justify such a project.

Depthscraper defiantly sounds better.

Load distribution mostly I would have thought any motion of the ground would be spread out through the building unlike a skyskraper where the entire motion of the ground is transferred to the building via the foundation and the ground floor columns the massive inertia of the building putting a lot of stress on those components in the process.

"And they call it a mine. A mine!"

Digging that would be very costly. It would also be hotter the deeper you go. When you hit the water table, the problem of leaking would be an issue.

In theory, the idea of an "earthscraper" would be to maximize land use, and fit more people in your city. But that isn't actually what would happen. If you take a plot of land and build an earthscraper, unless you want the residents to turn into mole people, you surface has to be transparent. So you can't build anything on that plot of land. Can't even plant trees. So in effect, it's no different than simply building a skyscraper on that land. But I guess if you don't care about sunlight, and have no interest in ever opening a window to get fresh air, being underground would be a great way to regulate temperature without using too much electricity...

Underground building in Resident Evil was an epic one🔥.

Have and or can you cover the underground city plans for Chicago

So basically earthscrapers are bunkers Skyscrapers are super high buildings Oceanscrapers are basically seasteads

there's an underground mall in central Moscow and been there for ages

The Shanghai Songjiang Shimao Hotel is kind of an earthscraper, if not entirely, built in an abandoned mine pit.

So what would a building be called if it was both comparable to a skyscraper in height, and an earthscraper in depth... Or, even more absurd, what if it was wide as a groundscraper, tall as a skyscraper, deep as an earthscraper, and had a sky-bridge connecting it to an oceanscraper?

The Louvre Pyramid is actually the Entrance to the Louvre Museum. You enter that 18th century French palace through this modern structure. Well, upon entering the Louvre you'll find out the old exterior is just a mere shell with a top-notch interior. About the London Iceberg Homes: many Billionaires started digging deeper and deeper underground - even going as far as building beyond the borders of their property underneath the road and in some cases even went as far as violating their neighbour's propery by literally building their own Cellar underneath it. Then they built all sorts of crazy stuff inside it: Multistory Pools, Garages, entire Doomsday Vaults, etc. It was just a matter of time until the city Administration had to step in.

Just go to Coober Pedy in Australia. The whole town is underground.

Heh, the best thing about Earthsrcapers is that in case of Nuclear Warfare or any wich includes many Bombs on Cities (If the Earthscraper has been build Correctly) the Earthscraper can be used as a Bunker. Also another Advantage is that you gan basicaly go down asmuch as you may like, once you're deep enugth you can even use the Updraft of Air created by the Earth Heating Cool Air firstly as a Energy Source but much more as a Naturaly "Fuled" Air Ventilation system (Expected if done Correctly ... logicaly). And another great thing is that you can always expand those and even connect them with other Earth Scrapers, wich is impossible with current Human Tech.

This would be great for hot places like Phoenix or Las Vegas.

Most cities are built by the coast or a river, so ground water intrusion would be a major issue.

I think "subterranean office space" is the most depressing phrase I have heard on this channel.

It seems an EARTH-SCRAPER would be even more susceptible to earthquake damage than a SKY-SCRAPER. Whereas a sky-scraper would not even notice a quake of a low magnitude. An Earth-scraper would buckle at every little rumble.

It would be cool if you could push a number button like an elevator but it would automatically deploy a net across your floor level and you jump down the center to get to your floor.

I don't see these being very useful in many places on Earth right now, but I could definitely see humans building these on Mars in a few hundred years, especially if they go down far enough to reach the underground glaciers
