If you get up close, the surface material is suffering from pollution and UV degradation now.

Somehow I can't imagine this surviving in Australia when tennisbal size ice flies out of the sky. When you see what it does to our cars, what would it do a building like this.🤩

Melbourne spent 1000 million dollars on the, was, Spencer St rail station. Renamed Southern Cross station. It had a skeleton steel structure with clear glazing between the steel beams. A big hail storm came in and smashed the lot. The replacements were structural and the sunlight departed the station.

Uploaded 22 min ago about a project in use in 2008. Timely.

There was a time when America was featured in videos like this.

a 20 mb file kept crashing their system back then 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The old nfl stadium for the Minnesota vikings it's roof I believe was held up by air until snow brought the roof down. To the field

This style of building seems alright. Adding "solar film" to the e.t.f.e pillows could help it generate electricity. And heating or cooling the air traveling through the pillows may be as more efficient way to control the temperature inside. Using an elevator scaffold along with e.t.f.e Tape could be used for making minor repairs. However, there are a few things that could potentially go wrong. 1: A hail storm could be disasterous for this structure. Back-up pillows would have to be prefab before an incident like this happens. 2: If condensation builds up inside the pillows mold or mildew may grow. And worst of all, the trapped water and gases could explode.

Great video!!!

1. Hail storm can punch many holes on the Mylar sheet. 2. If there is a fire. The melting Mylar can dripping on people. And toxic fumes? 3. 10-15 years from now the cost of repaint the steel structure can be tremendous. Especially at high elevation …it needs to remove the Mylar sheet off, prime & paint, reinstalling the Mylar sheet. Also 15 years from now the labor cost will be increased too. 4. No one mention about the condensation between the outer layer and interior layer. 5. How to remove the snow off from the roof? Also sand storm can be very heavy and difficult to remove. Assume that the workers can’t step or walk on the Mylar too. 6. What will be happened 20 years from now when Mylar needs to be replace. And If the Mylar company has move on? Or the computer software to cut the Mylar no longer available? 7. 10-20 years from now, all those mega projects will need the maintenance and updating. The cost of living also will be increased. It will be a challenge.

What Id like to know is how the snow, hail, and sand will exit the roof.( being flatish ) As these can weigh tons and can cause rooves to collapse. Or at least cause the system to fail as sunlight is prevented from entry. I didnt find the answer in this video.

Fascinating!👍🙂

Marvelous architectural design!

Is it sterile? Antimicrobial, antibacterial, repels moss, algae, etc. These things build up over time.

Steel needs a blast furnace at 1,500°C. to melt. Fire can not exceed 900°C.

Spark how do you like Nanjing zendai Himalayas Center, and architecture in it. It is very not usual, how do you think it could be better if to evolve this knowledge around China and planet places in most comfortable for everyone way

It's the cheap insectoid architectural style next to bird architecture stadium an before early hominids concept.

Who wrote this pc, the Chinese visitor`s central committee? They could have used a few more of these things around last month.Noticed there has been a lot of fire activity in tall buildings that weren`t getting put out very fast.

All that for a swimming pool...no wonder people are struggling so severely for basic needs.

oh and all the worries they had why does no one talk about all the hot dripping plastic falling on the spectators?

sorry but l dont understand all the testingneeded, l thought other large buildings already use this plastic?

Techniker + Design Produkte Entwickelt auf der Weltmarktführer Präsentiert werden können haben................

More interested in all the people they booted off the land to build the Olympic park.

Why am i concerned that this may be horrible for the environment 😬

Can't we Americans up north come up with such a water retention system ..😮 ???

What about vandalism?

So flames Could Happen in our mouths when brushing our teeth, lol I think not, Then why fluoride in toothpaste and plastic. No one else found that a little odd ?

why recycle this project without any additional information about what is it today..

Seems utter pointless, and looks an accident waiting to happen with the collapse of the roof through pressure 🤔

we love China

Come on so much technology😢😢😢 still no one else cares about sorry

Thus video intro didn't age well.

Sounds like ccp propaganda.

This is both boring and irrelevant.Its not even a feat to build this.

How is it self sufficient? Why include it in the title. Terrible work.

LYING CHINA LYING....
