@non brewed condiment normally, that's the case, but in this video, the most replayed part is the beginning of the ad, meaning most people are specifically watching from that part of the video.
@Moist Cena ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) the person hiring the architect is the one creating the jobs. The architect would not need engineers if there was no contract to make something. Plus... engineers practically always have a job, a few post modernist architects don't make a difference. Those not on the job are on another job. The only difference a post modernist architect makes is he somehow makes unsafe for work designs that the engineers have to now carefully create.
@To Jog or Not to jog we most certainly have 2 completely different approaches to this subject. Sure they are part of the process. Someone would logically first hire an architect to design & conceive a design. After the design is done, checked over twice and approved - then you start hiring/contracting workers to actually realize & build said design. Without the architect the construction side workers would be "unemployed" for lack of a better word.
@Moist Cena ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) architects don't build shit tho... And as you stated they are not the creators of jobs, just part of the process... The job created
@To Jog or Not to jog Well after having contracted a Architect & finishing the design and moving onto the build-stage, you'd need "a few" people to build said architects design. Houses & Constructions don't build themselves as far as I know
@nnnnnn there is a heavy difference between a useless metal triangular tower that doesn't really do anything, and a huge glass structure that shoots light straight into your home everyday.
Tbf, the Eiffel Tower was once considered the worst of modern architecture, but now everyone freaking loves that useless piece of scrap metal all of a sudden.
This was the most visually disgusting migraine of an advertisement I've ever witnessed. I don't think think I've ever laughed so hard while watching an ad, or while having a stroke! Two records for the price of one. Nice job.
The pyramids were originally covered in polished limestone and had a golden capstone, which would’ve shone at night like a star, so tbf wouldn’t of looked too far off from a lot of modern buildings built today with their all white aesthetic
Someone needs to tell that guy that there actually WAS plans to use strategically placed nukes in the deserts of north Africa to make a Sahara sea and terraform it haha That was a real thing. For some reason they didn't Definitely should in Australia though
It actually WAS an issue with the Disney concert hall, if you visit the building there are sections they had to blast with sand to reduce the glare. It didn’t melt any cars, but it did make some people’s apartments unlivable (as they got way too hot). Source: studied architecture in LA with professors that work with Gehry
@JonatasAdoM Well, if anyone's house was unlivable due to their neighbour's house or surrounding building(s), who wouldn't get mad lol My house is also quite unlivable for its low ceiling height and really cramped space, but on the other hand, the neighbourhood is really quiet and the neighbours are quite nice as well, so it somehow kinda made my unlivable house feel more livable

Shinji we must get the gum gum fruit from SpongeBob to stop guts from starting the eclipse and eating pinky pie to become the code geass. We'll pick up tails on the way so we can ride the highwind.
The fun thing about the Washington Monument is that you can clearly see where they originally ran out of money/materials, and then the rest of it is a slightly different color above that point. Like, yeah, did you not check how many rocks you had before you decided to make a giant obelisk? No? Eh, we'll figure it out.
For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it- lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish’? - Jesus of Nazareth (Gospel of Luke, ch. 14, v. 28-30)
The monument actually had to change which quarry it was receiving limestone from mid-construction. The original quarry became unavailable when the state it was in seceded from the Union. A northern quarry was chosen and work continued throughout the civil war, however the limestone was a different hue, being sourced from a different location
Im a carpenter in Germany working in restauration. Most of the time if you have old houses that needs repairs, government will actually give generous amount of money to keep it how it was before. Still have to go through all the paperwork
You forgot to adjust for inflation for the estimated cost of the Australia canal. The price adjusted for inflation is about 400 billion and also the canal will have to go through places of very high elevation (300 meters above sea level at least) and the Panama Canal only goes up 26m. Also the Panama Canal uses a gate system meaning that is not just a free flowing canal. If you were to build the Australian Canal then you would either have to make it free flowing (extremely difficult considering the elevation of the areas it has to go through) or build a fuckton of gates. Basically the price would be in the trillions of usd at least.
7:45 it would be a saline lake, so it wouldn't really make the bordering land super arable as plants don't usually do well with salt in the soil... It would start to evaporate and become more salty, but this would cause more rain to be created in the area (unsure whether it would fall there though) You do have an exit channel planned though which would allow salt to cycle out of the lake/sea...and this would be a massive shipping route as well, for both the centre of Australia and the coastal cities in the East.
you'd have to create it at a high elevation so you could run rivers through both to expand the livable area it would create, and to ensure the water actually flows and isn't stagnant. You'd also have to transport all the water up there to begin with, and probably continue to do so until the evaporation cycle ensures it stays filled and flowing
@The Runaway Script Yeah... well hopefully one side is higher than the other, or there's gonna have to be some fancy engineering done to make it flow one way...or it'd just make South Western Austrailia an island with a straight in between.
There's also the question as to whether or not the land in that area would even be able to be arable even IF there was more rain. Additionally, just because both ends would connect to the ocean, that doesn't mean that the water would flow in from one end and out the other. You'd have to figure out some way to keep the water flowing to cycle through. Otherwise what might happen is that both ends would have the ocean flowing in towards a larger central lake/inner sea where the water evaporates and causes the salt to build up. You might be able to fix that by some sort of system of pumps, but that wouldn't be sustainable at all. You'd also have to make sure the river was both wide enough to actually cause a noticeable change to the surrounding geography through evaporation, deep enough that the water wouldn't evaporate over the hundreds (or even thousands) of miles in distance that it would cover, and also that the sides of the artificial river were structurally reinforced so you didn't have to worry about erosion blocking off stuff.
I would check to sea how deep the basin is the water would flood into. Over that large an area you'd be risking making a giant salt pan (too hot for marsh too shallow for lake). It could end up being even more uninhabitable than it is now.
There actually used to be a massive sea inside of Europe and Asia. It housed several species of very small baleen whales that tragically and likely painfully went extinct as it dried up and became increasingly poisonous
As someone who just finished a degree in architecture, I can confirm that people attribute Minecraft to why they were initially interested in architecture.
My old University building was designed by Zaha Hadid, it was the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong's School of Design building. It looked cool, but it was dirty AF on the outside. Through my 4 year course, the outside was never cleaned once. My friends and I found out why, apparently it would cost the school HK$1 million+ (US$130,000+) just to clean the building once.
@Average Demographic it's a pretty good gig, they dress you up and some get painted to look like metal statues. Just be aware that your joints will be angry at first cuz of all the slow movement on your feet
As an architecture student I can say historian made some good points. Like finding entrance is a very important thing and architects like hadid doens't focus on that all they do is taking attention. "Form follows function" it's a common thing i mean just a ground rule but they dont follow these rules and other architects just applause, building a death ray is not important for them they just want aesthetic buildings.
It's one of those things that I feel 99% of people wouldn't consciously acknowledge but I saw a video a little bit ago of an architect reviewing a spaceship luxury yacht thing on star citizen and I found it so interesting. Mentioning all the little things that architects have to consider, even down to the frequency of lighting used in different areas, like "oh, you want people to congregate in the corners away from the flow of traffic, so they have warm lighting to make them relaxed" and other such considerations. And with layout I guess you've got to be always asking "will this confuse dumb people?"
Back in 03' a SWAT team took hours to subdue an active shooter because of the Frank Gehry designed building's architecture giving them a lack of a clear shot
I live about 30 minutes from Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water and I have to say it's one of the coolest structures I've ever seen. There's a stream...that flows THROUGH the house! Is seriously amazing and it's just in the middle of nowhere
Modern architects are horrible though. I can live with deviating enough to create something like Buckingham Palace, but why on Earth would anyone be happy with designing a comic sans building? It looks dumb and any novelty wears off after thirty seconds.
I wish i couldve had this guy as a teacher back in school or college he's got such a way of getting loads of information across without glossing over too much whilst keeping the laughs coming the whole time
13:50 fun fact, the coliseum was able to fit ~50.000 people. It maybe didn't have a jumbotron, but therefor it had people fighting each other to the death. Hell Yeah!
@missingindyrry to burst your bubble, friend, but historians estimate between 10-20% of fights left one of the competitors dead, and of course sometimes the loser would be executed by the winner if the croud/organizers wished
Ah yes but most of those 50,000 seats naturally wouldn't have a very good view of the fighting. Yes, fighting to the death is awesome, but it's far less awesome if you can't see shit, which is where a Jumbotron would be necessary.
@bacchusnotneptune That is a common misunderstanding. The Mujahideen were a completely separate group, which the Taliban overthrew. The Taliban were trained and equipped by Pakistan, not by the USA.
@Bacon CheeseCake They could pay the loan over couple hundred years, since the structure is going to be pretty much permanent. Then the annual cost would not even be all that much.
@DoubLL Not 1.3 billion, 1.3 trillion, they could do it if they really wanted to, and it would a lot cheaper for the reasons IH mentioned, could cost under a tenth of their gdp, if not less
The only issue is that the Panama Canal was build between 1881 and 1914. If you adjust for inflation the price goes up by something like 3000%, or like 400 Billion USD. Considering the Australian GDP is about 1.3 Billion USD that seems like a tall order. Edit: I was off by 4 orders of magnitude because of long/short scale conversion, woops. Anyways I think the point still stands since this would be an absolutely massive undertaking, but yeah, the numbers are wrong.
I've never heard of this series until tonight. Friends showed this to me, and I caught that they used a picture of Kath Day-Knight as a picture of the queen and I lost it. So good.
this is a true story: i met a girl from the north of germany. went to visit her and she was living in one of those traditionally fetch roofed houses. in the middle of the night we got woken up by weird sounds and lights and it turns out one of the neighbours houses with also the same traditional roofing caught on fire. actually it's quite dangerous since most houses in that area had this specific roofing and the cinder coming off of one house could light the others on fire as well. well anyways. firefighters showed up. things were taken care off. next day news came in. nobody was hurt. family owning the house was on vacation. electrical fire :^)
Here's something about the pyramids that I think is pretty important when looking at them from an aesthetic point of view; back when they were built, they were made from polished white limestone, and tipped with shining gold. I dunno about you, but if I saw that shit in the desert, I'd be in awe.
That actually is important to consider. I'd definitely be far more impressed if I were wandering through the desert, got momentarily blinded by something in the distance, and crested the dune to see a big fuck-off solid white geometric shape with a golden gleaming tip. Now THAT'S a statement, you'd really think you've come across some kind of summer home for the gods.
also the Sphinx in Egypt used to be a quite detailed Lion, and before that, was another man entirely! There are even some photos of it. They have ruined it since the 1800s. Why does egypt treat their history like crap?
flying around the pyramid in msfs you start out as "oh that thing is puny that's hilarious" then you do a proper close fly by and you think holy moly the sphinx is much smaller than I thought it was. Pyramids big though.
That little Men at Work sting when you introduced the Sydney Opera House made me laugh until I broke a blood vessel in my eye and now I have to go to a job interview looking like a monster.
when I was a kid I went to the Roman Colosseum and somehow fell down an entire flight of stone stairs the fact I didn't become more brain dead is a miracle
I did that thing that's between a sensible chuckle, and an outright laugh, but it comes out your nose. Know what I mean? I did that. When I read your comment.
8:20 I know you guys were just joking, but just to be clear, Australia is incredibly huge compared to the Panama. Not only that, it's a wasteland, like you said, in the middle of Australia. The cost of setting up infrastructure just to dig up a country wide river would be enormous alone
Yes but the question isn't would it cost so much, it's would it make the cost back and more. For example, the Panama Canal was deemed worth it because it made such a useful route between the Atlantic and Pacific that people had no issue paying the tolls, and the tolls have generated billions. So the question is: could they come up with some way to make this generate money? And if (and I'm aware this is an if, I haven't looked into it) it turned a lot of uninhabitable land habitable, stuff like property taxes would do that for them.
actually the panama would cost over 10b in today's currency. so that would be ard 380billion plus u would have to consider that a lot more material would need to be excavated but still fun to think abt although they did mess up the numbers in the video
Keep in mind, the Panama Canal had to be dug across very mountainous terrain. The desert part of Australia is a flat desert. So it would be much cheaper than your estimate. As you said, it is kind of stupid to not make all that land inhabitable because of a few desert lizards.
About the channel through Australia: Here in Brazil they did something similar to the São Francisco River, they transposed them to give water to the dry lands of the northeast here It took 15 years because of corrupt governments and millions stolen, but it was finished this year
As an actual architecture student, it pisses me off to no end when my professor demands every model painted pure white. I've considered taking the risk of tanking my project grade just to add a splash of color. "From Bauhaus to Our House" is a great comedic, short book about how architecture has backed itself into a corner of modern and post modern crap.
That discussion about a canal through Australia sounds like a legitimately good idea, though that makes some prime croc territory. I bet the desert creature would fare just fine.
No It would just make the bush have a massive fuck off salty river. It’s not even guaranteed the rain cycle would work, and if it did the rain would probably would need up in the sea anyway or fall on already arable land
gotta say it's been a LONG time since i've found a new comedy troupe that hits the gut and keeps me laughing in every episode, and thank god I found Incognito Mode. you 2 keep doing what you do. thanks for the laughs!
Fun fact: there is a 12 foot tall exact replica of the Washington monument in a small inground vault about 30 feet from the actual monument. It's called Benchmark A and is used by surveyors and the like.
Not all wrong, just sometimes a bit of context is missing. For example, everything described in the first story here did happen, he just made it sound like it was unfixable (or at least unfixed) and that it was the first building to do this.
I always asked myself the question with the canal. To the salt water argument - you can add structures that let the water vaporise and catch up the salt free steam or sth like this. Also planting trees and building houses would reduce the local temperatures. And the money for the canal could be brought back by selling land around the canal. Just think of exclusive areas right at the new and famous canal. And if it works out you can copy paste the project to north Africa
13:47 I’ve actually been in that stadium, and it’s pretty sweet. The Jumbotron is like a giant cylinder that sits below the top so everyone can see it no matter where they’re seated. The only problem is that it’s really high up and hurts to look at for a long period of time.
The main benefit of the Coliseum was of course that in it's Prime it's like a Lego block where you can just build a second Colosseum put on top of the first one thus doubling the capacity.
The "Most viewed thing" really is amazing, the fact this mad lad made a goddamn AD his most viewed part of the video is both inspiring, an disgusting i feel cheated an used for viewing please i will only watch it 5 more times.
Sam pellergrino pretty sure they were being sarcastic and actually loved it, so yeah he still doing the ads for them, it also actually have somekind of weird lore on it too, for whatever bloody reason.
Pyrocynical has fun ads, although albeit he admits he's rather inspired by IH's ads. Or at least jokes about it, I'm not sure if he's truly inspired or people made the connection and he rolls with it.
When they pulled up Frank Gehry's buildings I thought they looked familiar. One of Australia's Universities in Sydney (UTS) has a building designed by him. I remember when it was being built and thinking it was the weirdest looking building. "it's often known as the crumpled brown paper bag" That quote is from UTS's own website haha.
In my hometown, Luleå Sweden, there is the Church Town of Gammelstad (Literally old town). There is a village of wooden houses that date back to around 16th century with the church in the center from 15th century.
Having taken a class on the history of architecture I actually have a better appreciation for all the buildings they're shiting on. I mean they're still right but yeah.

@バンジョベンジ or did the slide have jumps from one pyramid to another, called the leap of faith
"Would have shone at night like a star"?
What kind of gold is this? I can only guess they hammered a silmaril into the top.
@Dany Mend the statue of liberty essentially looked like a bigass penny
They found recently that most of the pyramid stones are actually a type of primitive concrete.

The fun thing about the Washington Monument is that you can clearly see where they originally ran out of money/materials, and then the rest of it is a slightly different color above that point. Like, yeah, did you not check how many rocks you had before you decided to make a giant obelisk? No? Eh, we'll figure it out.
I can’t unsee it now
For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it- lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish’?
- Jesus of Nazareth (Gospel of Luke, ch. 14, v. 28-30)
I still don't know why it's a Obelisk
Doesn't really fit Washington at all to me
The monument actually had to change which quarry it was receiving limestone from mid-construction. The original quarry became unavailable when the state it was in seceded from the Union. A northern quarry was chosen and work continued throughout the civil war, however the limestone was a different hue, being sourced from a different location

@Average Demographic it's a pretty good gig, they dress you up and some get painted to look like metal statues. Just be aware that your joints will be angry at first cuz of all the slow movement on your feet
@dotty7789 Yoooo, genius
You could be a live statue and work for a theme park or tourist hotspot
Well. You have a solid foundation to start with if you wanna be like them.
Huehuehue
As an architecture student I can say historian made some good points. Like finding entrance is a very important thing and architects like hadid doens't focus on that all they do is taking attention. "Form follows function" it's a common thing i mean just a ground rule but they dont follow these rules and other architects just applause, building a death ray is not important for them they just want aesthetic buildings.
It's one of those things that I feel 99% of people wouldn't consciously acknowledge but I saw a video a little bit ago of an architect reviewing a spaceship luxury yacht thing on star citizen and I found it so interesting. Mentioning all the little things that architects have to consider, even down to the frequency of lighting used in different areas, like "oh, you want people to congregate in the corners away from the flow of traffic, so they have warm lighting to make them relaxed" and other such considerations. And with layout I guess you've got to be always asking "will this confuse dumb people?"
Back in 03' a SWAT team took hours to subdue an active shooter because of the Frank Gehry designed building's architecture giving them a lack of a clear shot
That sounds insane, I'd love to read about it. Source?
@Styfalled the Peter B. Lewis building at Case Western University
Where did this happen? xD
god these dudes need a tv show asap this is so good lol
I took art history in college and seeing these guys actually find building we've discussed in class is surprisingly mortifying.
I live about 30 minutes from Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water and I have to say it's one of the coolest structures I've ever seen. There's a stream...that flows THROUGH the house! Is seriously amazing and it's just in the middle of nowhere
That's not so cool! If I took a hammer to one of my bathroom pipes I could have a stream running through my house too!
( This is a joke )
Ah, the "Artistic visions of an architect", the civil engineer's worst nightmare
If I was given that task, I'd just cry in my own puddle of tears.
Modern architects are horrible though. I can live with deviating enough to create something like Buckingham Palace, but why on Earth would anyone be happy with designing a comic sans building? It looks dumb and any novelty wears off after thirty seconds.
I wish i couldve had this guy as a teacher back in school or college he's got such a way of getting loads of information across without glossing over too much whilst keeping the laughs coming the whole time
13:50 fun fact, the coliseum was able to fit ~50.000 people.
It maybe didn't have a jumbotron, but therefor it had people fighting each other to the death. Hell Yeah!
@SkivvyTV oh
@missingindyrry to burst your bubble, friend, but historians estimate between 10-20% of fights left one of the competitors dead, and of course sometimes the loser would be executed by the winner if the croud/organizers wished
Sorry to burst your bubble, friend, but they didn’t fight to the death, they fought to the mildly injured
Ah yes but most of those 50,000 seats naturally wouldn't have a very good view of the fighting. Yes, fighting to the death is awesome, but it's far less awesome if you can't see shit, which is where a Jumbotron would be necessary.
"14 Billion? I'll give the Taliban twice that in military equipment." ~ The US Government
@bacchusnotneptune That is a common misunderstanding. The Mujahideen were a completely separate group, which the Taliban overthrew. The Taliban were trained and equipped by Pakistan, not by the USA.
@Bacon CheeseCake They could pay the loan over couple hundred years, since the structure is going to be pretty much permanent. Then the annual cost would not even be all that much.
@DoubLL Not 1.3 billion, 1.3 trillion, they could do it if they really wanted to, and it would a lot cheaper for the reasons IH mentioned, could cost under a tenth of their gdp, if not less
The only issue is that the Panama Canal was build between 1881 and 1914. If you adjust for inflation the price goes up by something like 3000%, or like 400 Billion USD. Considering the Australian GDP is about 1.3 Billion USD that seems like a tall order.
Edit: I was off by 4 orders of magnitude because of long/short scale conversion, woops. Anyways I think the point still stands since this would be an absolutely massive undertaking, but yeah, the numbers are wrong.
Don’t forget the funding they gave the mujahideen before it became the Taliban
I've never heard of this series until tonight. Friends showed this to me, and I caught that they used a picture of Kath Day-Knight as a picture of the queen and I lost it. So good.
this is a true story:
i met a girl from the north of germany. went to visit her and she was living in one of those traditionally fetch roofed houses.
in the middle of the night we got woken up by weird sounds and lights and it turns out one of the neighbours houses with also the same traditional roofing caught on fire. actually it's quite dangerous since most houses in that area had this specific roofing and the cinder coming off of one house could light the others on fire as well. well anyways. firefighters showed up. things were taken care off.
next day news came in. nobody was hurt. family owning the house was on vacation. electrical fire :^)
The Australian canal thing is one of the most ridiculously idiotic thing i've ever heard of.
I like it.
It’s been proposed many times but no study has proven it viable (not saying it isn’t possible but it would be a huge risk without proven benefit)
The Panama Canal would cost around $9,477,830,882 in USD currently. It'll cost roughly $331,163,773,812.45 to build the Australia Slip ’N Slide Canal.
@Arctic Monke too soon to suggest the Beruit plan?
Reversing desertification is idiotic?
My favorite part is how the video doesn’t have the “includes paid promotion,” meaning that he actually lost the sponsorship.
IH's promotions have lore (sort of), so even if he loses the sponsorship he can't just take them out without messing up the plot (sort of).
The Colosseum capacity was closer to 65k actually a massive stadium. Truly impressive.
That "done work upsidedown" joke is so perfect
If all of Frank Gehry's buildings were in one theme park, that would essentially be R'lyeh.
23:27 the absolutely brutal smash cut from the opera house-boat to a horribly over-stretched picture of the Rock just killed me
Here's something about the pyramids that I think is pretty important when looking at them from an aesthetic point of view; back when they were built, they were made from polished white limestone, and tipped with shining gold. I dunno about you, but if I saw that shit in the desert, I'd be in awe.
That actually is important to consider. I'd definitely be far more impressed if I were wandering through the desert, got momentarily blinded by something in the distance, and crested the dune to see a big fuck-off solid white geometric shape with a golden gleaming tip. Now THAT'S a statement, you'd really think you've come across some kind of summer home for the gods.
also the Sphinx in Egypt used to be a quite detailed Lion, and before that, was another man entirely! There are even some photos of it. They have ruined it since the 1800s. Why does egypt treat their history like crap?
flying around the pyramid in msfs you start out as "oh that thing is puny that's hilarious"
then you do a proper close fly by and you think holy moly the sphinx is much smaller than I thought it was. Pyramids big though.
Uthat sounds beautiful the lyramids were so ugly I lovdxd it
Egypt most likely had a tropical climate when the pyramids were built
That little Men at Work sting when you introduced the Sydney Opera House made me laugh until I broke a blood vessel in my eye and now I have to go to a job interview looking like a monster.

This comment had 69 replies. It now does not. Suffer.
I did that thing that's between a sensible chuckle, and an outright laugh, but it comes out your nose. Know what I mean? I did that. When I read your comment.
Yes

Sumito called it a tower of pee in my language.
Good job Sumito. 👍
8:20 I know you guys were just joking, but just to be clear, Australia is incredibly huge compared to the Panama. Not only that, it's a wasteland, like you said, in the middle of Australia. The cost of setting up infrastructure just to dig up a country wide river would be enormous alone
@Triangle Moebius... *the lizards*
Yes but the question isn't would it cost so much, it's would it make the cost back and more. For example, the Panama Canal was deemed worth it because it made such a useful route between the Atlantic and Pacific that people had no issue paying the tolls, and the tolls have generated billions.
So the question is: could they come up with some way to make this generate money? And if (and I'm aware this is an if, I haven't looked into it) it turned a lot of uninhabitable land habitable, stuff like property taxes would do that for them.
actually the panama would cost over 10b in today's currency. so that would be ard 380billion plus u would have to consider that a lot more material would need to be excavated but still fun to think abt although they did mess up the numbers in the video
I love how Internet Historian is like Socrates of Irony talking to that girl about the colosseum
Keep in mind, the Panama Canal had to be dug across very mountainous terrain. The desert part of Australia is a flat desert. So it would be much cheaper than your estimate. As you said, it is kind of stupid to not make all that land inhabitable because of a few desert lizards.
About the channel through Australia:
Here in Brazil they did something similar to the São Francisco River, they transposed them to give water to the dry lands of the northeast here
It took 15 years because of corrupt governments and millions stolen, but it was finished this year
As an actual architecture student, it pisses me off to no end when my professor demands every model painted pure white. I've considered taking the risk of tanking my project grade just to add a splash of color. "From Bauhaus to Our House" is a great comedic, short book about how architecture has backed itself into a corner of modern and post modern crap.
Just uh, DON'T follow your prof's bad orders when you actually start working?
@Yes I am a Russian bot I like you. I love classical
And why do modern architects purposefully break all easthetic principles?
TheRedScourge lmao.
That discussion about a canal through Australia sounds like a legitimately good idea, though that makes some prime croc territory.
I bet the desert creature would fare just fine.
@Ian h Heat is reduced by building mountains. How do you build them? With the fuck-off giant piles of dirt you just dug up while building the canal!
No It would just make the bush have a massive fuck off salty river. It’s not even guaranteed the rain cycle would work, and if it did the rain would probably would need up in the sea anyway or fall on already arable land
@Ian h That's a fair point
Having a river aint gonna make it less hot, just more humid. Pass.
I keep rewatching all these vids. IH and Sumito have such good chemistry together
gotta say it's been a LONG time since i've found a new comedy troupe that hits the gut and keeps me laughing in every episode, and thank god I found Incognito Mode. you 2 keep doing what you do. thanks for the laughs!
Once you get to far into the architecting process it starts to look like a Pokémon
These two are perfect together. I love it!
this whole "comically mentally inept internet historian" thing works.
Callum Marsh Show your work?
@LadyKraken Psh... who would want to go out on a date with a radiocarbon?? That sounds awful.
@Charlie Apples Yes but, have you done *all* of the maths? Have you looked into radiocarbon dating?
It just works.

As an architecture enthusiast, this is very entertaining.

Fun fact: there is a 12 foot tall exact replica of the Washington monument in a small inground vault about 30 feet from the actual monument. It's called Benchmark A and is used by surveyors and the like.
arguably one of the best nordvpn ads ever and it's not just because it's fast
The ad itself is outright better then most content made by other KZcliprs
Yeah remind s me of chrisrayguns ads, usually better than the actual videos he puts out.
I knew about the heat rays from Vinoly's building in London. I didn't realise that was the second time he'd done it!
Man's a straight-up Bond villain
I skip sponsors... but this... this was something else. Your content is on new level. Keep it up :D!
This is the only channel I have ever looked forward to watching adds with
Fun fact: i have licked the Washington monument and it was a close second to the supreme court building taste wise
I once went on a school trip to one of the last surviving Tudor houses in England. It was built in 1492
I love this series of telling elaborate historical stories and then googling it and nope, turns out all of that was wrong.
Not all wrong, just sometimes a bit of context is missing. For example, everything described in the first story here did happen, he just made it sound like it was unfixable (or at least unfixed) and that it was the first building to do this.
Internet historian, sumito Media and the gentle Pirate do have really good Dynamic with each other - the conversations are neat af 😉
I always asked myself the question with the canal.
To the salt water argument - you can add structures that let the water vaporise and catch up the salt free steam or sth like this.
Also planting trees and building houses would reduce the local temperatures.
And the money for the canal could be brought back by selling land around the canal. Just think of exclusive areas right at the new and famous canal.
And if it works out you can copy paste the project to north Africa
The architect that designed the tower of Pisa actually was so ashamed he apparently just offed himself when he found out
There are at least three buildings I know of that have had the "death ray problem".
This is the only channel where I don't skip the ads.
Hey Internet Historian, did you know they used to close up the colosseum and flood it so they could have small ship battles in it?
All though it's speculated that they did this only for the inauguration. Other ship battle were hosted in arena specifically designed for it
I feel like this is wrong but right? So is it true?
that is metal as fuck and i love it
@#WatermelonSavage the only thing the romans have on the americans is the real death part of the spectacle
@Dylan Y no problem dude, i forgot about this comment thread and laughed at my own joke after re-reading it.
I can’t say enough how much I love this channel
13:47 I’ve actually been in that stadium, and it’s pretty sweet. The Jumbotron is like a giant cylinder that sits below the top so everyone can see it no matter where they’re seated. The only problem is that it’s really high up and hurts to look at for a long period of time.
The main benefit of the Coliseum was of course that in it's Prime it's like a Lego block where you can just build a second Colosseum put on top of the first one thus doubling the capacity.
Fun fact about the coliseum, is the gladiator matches rarely were fights to the death
Behold the shining house the mouse built.

The "Most viewed thing" really is amazing, the fact this mad lad made a goddamn AD his most viewed part of the video is both inspiring, an disgusting i feel cheated an used for viewing please i will only watch it 5 more times.
The tower is Incredibly impressive in person
10:48 that is basically how architects start out their outline proposal.
This was the episode when I realised the Internet Historian was just old man shaking fist at the sky
"Thanks we hate it" -NordVPN
Well Nord, that is the first time I've watched one of your ads all the way through in months. So there is that.
Sam pellergrino pretty sure they were being sarcastic and actually loved it, so yeah he still doing the ads for them, it also actually have somekind of weird lore on it too, for whatever bloody reason.
Sam pellergrino No, he is still doing them.
At this point we all know what it does. Isn't the point just product placement
Yeah I always contemplate getting it when I see his ads for it
This guy is the only channel that makes me exited to watch his ads.
The summining salt impression is just great
“…they should be called builts “ joke fkin killed me

There's no way all thirty thousand of those slaves are forklift certified
This is the only KZclip Channel who's Sponsorships are actually fun to watch
Pyrocynical has fun ads, although albeit he admits he's rather inspired by IH's ads. Or at least jokes about it, I'm not sure if he's truly inspired or people made the connection and he rolls with it.
Flashgitz are pretty enjoyable too.

When they pulled up Frank Gehry's buildings I thought they looked familiar.
One of Australia's Universities in Sydney (UTS) has a building designed by him. I remember when it was being built and thinking it was the weirdest looking building.
"it's often known as the crumpled brown paper bag" That quote is from UTS's own website haha.
In my hometown, Luleå Sweden, there is the Church Town of Gammelstad (Literally old town). There is a village of wooden houses that date back to around 16th century with the church in the center from 15th century.
Having taken a class on the history of architecture I actually have a better appreciation for all the buildings they're shiting on. I mean they're still right but yeah.
