Would you like to see these skyscryapers become a reality? 😄 Which one is your favorite?

That Illinois tower looks really modern for our days, even somewhat futuristic. Incredible to think that it was designed in the 50s by a man born in 1867. Truly far ahead of its time.

I think out of all of them frank Lloyd's building would be a game changer as not only his concept is now being used in all modern skyscrapers but the concept of following nature is sound and can actually work to create a strong and sturdy building and it would be a monument and testament to Lloyd's genius and creativity as his building looks entirely unique while most skyscrapers are beginning to all look the same much like most suvs these days.

I hope someday, we will see Lloyd's: Illinois skyscrapers, build with modern technology.
This would mean, that we would see new sky race between New York and Chicago.

Bro I want The Illinois Tower so bad. I'm an hour away from chicago and just driving towards that would be insane. Imagine looking out at everything from the top, you would truly be on top of the world.

Unfortunately, most mega projects are never implemented

Frank Lloyd Wright truly was a man ahead of his time. His changes on house layouts and overall design alone are noteworthy enough to make him one of the finest architects in world history.

What you forgot was the Chicago Spire. As copied from elsewhere .. "The Chicago Spire was a skyscraper project in Chicago that was partially built between 2007 and 2008 before being cancelled. Located at 400 N. Lake Shore Drive, it would have stood 2, 000 feet (610 m) high with 150 floors and been the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere." Oh I remember this well. I remember the start of the construction (basically digging the foundation). And they got the hole dug and the pilings pushed into the ground and were about to start and then .. Great Recession. The money dried up, the Irish Bank that had been the primary funder collapsed and had to be nationalized / saved by Ireland, people started filing lawsuits over unpaid money and *poof* up in smoke. All that exists now is the Chicago Spire hole .. the foundation drilled into the ground that has filled with water over time. And the court fights are still going on to this day.

Even after living in Mumbai, I didn't know about India Tower. Great video tbh.
Ps - There was another halted skyscraper called Palais Royale in Mumbai which was supposed to be tallest building in India

i think the Dubai City Tower is insane. I really want to see it in my country, or anywhere in the world. I love it!

[danielmiron]

My favorite was the Azerbaijani Tower. My 2nd favorite is the Dubai City Tower. While structural engineering has advanced to the point of making a mile high tower feasible, I'm still looking forward to something like the x-seed 4000 in Japan being proposed and actually built.

[gfdqwpx]

I'm from Azerbaijani and I'm glad that the Azerbaijan tower was discussed

[devoof]

Even though these buildings never got to exist on computers, they look beautiful

[luism]

Wow love this video😍 Your Quality gets better and better!

[sergeishabunin]

I really would love to see those Skyscrapers build...my personal favorite is the Dubai City Tower...as I read it in the Internet the Dubai City Tower was just an Project for study how to build Skyscrapers this tall. And it was an Computer created Idea without having an Architect.

[JawadBuildz]

i really do hope that in the future, the dubai city tower can be a reality when i see it

[ZiyangsWorld-eqbm]

I would like the Dubai city tower 0:38

A great weekend is a Top Luxury video in HDR that is for sure.

[kresimirmilisa]

all of them are amazing but the most stunning would be the illinois tower so nice shape.

[rdspam]

Instead of India tower, Mumbai gets Antilia as it’s symbol. 😂
