NOAH-NEW ORLEANS ARCOLOGY HABITAT

[NganaJHone]

Steady I Really Like This Video whose philosophic underpinnings rest in combining large scale sustainability with concentrated urban structures, and in this case a floating city.

[Ondelendo]

Good, I like that you share this video whose philosophic underpinnings rest in combining large scale sustainability with concentrated urban structures, and in this case a floating city., I wish success always

[bebeheuy]

Nice Video whose philosophic underpinnings rest in combining large scale sustainability with concentrated urban structures, and in this case a floating city. That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You

[willamricard]

Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing To be able to visualize a design project in 3D and through animation is absolutely vital when attempting to sell a design concept that may at first glance be hard to grasp, adds Vittori.

[VRtechman]

The overall Positive is that a structure like that would help guard the city against hurricanes! But to finance something like it would need some of the richest residents in the world. And considerable amounts of security to guard against terrorism. Maybe even anti-air missile platform defenses.

[anilnectar69]

WHATS THAT SONG,ITS BEEN IN MY HEAD ALL DAY!!!

[lDiRTyxlHouSe]

Brave New World

[Zoza15]

A square size like structure would have looked alot more appealing.

[KrytakliAklaimd]

cool idea but...what about all that open space in the middle? u could prolly fit a lot more units in the middle..thus saving the slightest bit of space in a planet with an ever growing population...little things now can make big impact later

[unomnacajit111]

the US will have to start a world war for all that material needed

[lokalhorizon]

May be Nice, but it would be unmanageable as architecture....

[Tangram3DS]

Tangram 3DS did not mention Mr. Wade Settle in our video who created some of the sound effects for this video. Thanks Wade for all your help and work.



[berbeca98]

why a pyramid form?

[ChiefAdministrator]

@berbeca98 Much more stable.

[Kanoki989]

Come on people, we all no this will never be built because of the fucking Republicans >:[

[hexicola]

after 9/11, i can't see ppl wanting to live in a massive structure that would be a potential disaster zone. If the utilities, power or waste management fail, the building would be uninhabitable very quickly. It's a nice idea, but i can see why it hasn't been taken forward yet.

[ApertureAce]

Finally! A mega structure near where I live!

[jcdenton100]

We better learn how to make more powerful clean energy products before we start building this.

[ahcokris]

it looks cute, but what does IT DO? what is it there for???

[lcabosa]

FAIL , dosen`t adress populations problems, is more one materialistic trophy, good for ocidental crap minds that drull about shiny objects. we need real solutions for ALL, stop the crap, this is not about entretaining no more, this is about future safety for our KIDS .

[Coridimus]

huh....I actually don't find this all that interesting in terms of arcologies and future architecture.

[smfleu]

that's why i love architecture

[tobigforyou]

How much would this cost to build?

[darthguy3]

Well, a great idea, but a whole building covered with solar cell panels like that would require a vast amount of money, because I know those panels cost a lot.

[tykez08]

governments had really..really had gone insane.. they're into the N.W.O. seriously.

[HooHooDilly17]

I really, really, really love this concept. It's something futuristic & cutting edge, right out of Dubai. Although to be frank & pragmatic, I don't see this realistically coming to fruition in New Orleans...simply because New Orleans is a city which prides itself on authenticity and keeping up the appearance of its older structures, or old world charm, if you will.

So this architectural wonder would be more plausible somewhere else, like New York or Miami.

[GTI8855]

May be it's better not to live in the area that can be flooded instead of building floating cities?

[TheLonghaultrucker]

most stupid thing ever, although perfect form for a deodorant stick.

[astrofabio68]

We are of peace always....

[bradleywilbanks1]

Maybe it could incorporate hydro power as well as wind turbines .

[MrFilleul]

Tetrahedron beautiful it has a future

[Rymac91]

This looks like something I'd see in an futuristic Anime series.

[streetwarrior31]

Hy!!

Do you know if this bilding has got anything to do with the Venus Project?

Thanck you.

[Peterwhitlock]

@streetwarrior31

NO and the Venus project was stolen from Walt Disney EPCOT to steal donation and is a 419 scan fraud.

this JUNK is stupid! what the heck does it do other than look bad and seam to waste a lot of space and fully ignore logic of weather...at first sight it is 100% fail...unless it clean air or make power or something....this clip makes it look like pure insanity. Avoid TZM too because they just lied to claim all the glory of the green movement over 35 years to trick people.

[icedanilzation]

@Peterwhitlock I agree, arcologies are a good idea, but this design is just terrible.

[bjsocool96]

@xanrigh didn't ur mother use to work on the pole at magic city because if i'm not guessing it looked slot like her yeah it was her she gave everyone brain that's where i remember her from duh

[agbulmer]

i dont get it, wats da point of it?

[ElderJS0]

Amazing 3D job!!!

[KinCrooked]

Nice rendering and animation project. As for the real world application, building this arcology, the architects behind it should maybe have a rethink. Many of the designs look pretty and functional, but look like updates of the features included in many of the high rise public housing projects in the UK, designed or inspired by Le Corbusier, which are now being pulled down and replaced with low rise housing, as, although they were technically innovative, they were socially unworkable.

[Peterwhitlock]

@KinCrooked

this I understand!

i teach the new PERFECT CITIES

i sure wish i had this kind of animation to win my Nobel prize with less effort.

[lolioliol360]

holy crap! where did you get this footage!?!??!!!

[TheDesignSolutions]

very post modern. I hope something like this gets built in my lifetime. It would really be somethiing. 3Ds Max?

[MostExcellentRobot]

All naysayers should be silent and step out of the way so that they do not impede progress. Naysayers never accomplished anything of note, and they are only remembered if they are spectacularly wrong.

[vigo894]

@MostExcellentRobot= True. I say, if you don't like the way the World is going, do something about it. If you're not going to, shut up. Those who do nothing have no right to complain, since they are a part of the problem.

You're right MostExcellentRobot.

[Isaac10best]

id love to have an ark based on final fantasy!

[faunflynn]

Pretty Arco pretty music. Nice work. Kudos.

[LotusDragon09]

Just looks like a large, fancy office building to me. Kinda small for an arcology. If it IS an arcology, it doesnt look self sustaining.

[lcabosa]

nothing can replace the natural beauty that our citys destroys, so stop treating bildings like nice looking objects, I think arquitects are in a some what baroque and decadent path , not looking to resolve the true issues that builgings and citys here made for, that is, a home for everyone, security agaisnt the elements, and if possible production of food and energy, everything else is secundary, and if you want estetics in your life go to a art museum.

[themilanxperience]

How can they even think about building something like this while new orleans is still in ruins??? Who approved the budget for this??

btw @ everlasingwicca: True that we architects have to eat but why dont you think about the ethical implications of building this gaudy monstrosity when they havent even handled the simple problems of REbuilding the damage This is just a shameless distraction so we dont have to think about any REAL issues

[TheRjhalo]

This building makes new orleans so much more beautiful than it really is .

[TheRjhalo]

This makes new orleans look so beautiful than it really is

[trailkeeper]

I guess if we cant buy/afford an island, we can make a man made ones, with the advantage that they are moveable.

[hawlemnyair]

perhaps not so much in new orleans but ithink that in the more north you go the more important it becomes to utilize the emitted heat of the building to grow food. For example here in vancouver you can grow some things all year round if grown on a roof top. There has been other studies that suggest that flora helps moderate temperature.

[eduardoiberico]

amazing, Incredible.

[marianapie]

It would be very interesting that you could see the designs of Paolo Soleri, whom I really consider absolutely the father of the Arcology's concept

[mistertakeda]

NOLA 'mid. Tough as nails. Wouldn't last a day in there without the proper hardware. City stopped funding it as of '52. Then the corporations backed out. Now the place is ruled by a mixture of local toughs and a handful of quasi-legitimate mafia-run corporate interests that stuck around post collapse. The faster I leave, the better.

[Mafkeesdejong]

Who designed this? It looks like one of Jacque Fresco's (The Venus Project) designs.

[dsak199]

awesome work!

[Lovebattallion]

Anyone wondering about the purpose for one of these things could look into the UN agenda of population control and smart cities. This is not just for fun.

[WaiweraTui]

And your evidence for that is....where? Surely, arcologies being designed to hold LOTS of people would be completely contradictory to your idea of population control....

[resuetil]

why_dont_you_list_the_music.

[Tangram3DS]

We did list the artist. Unfortunately some of the text is blocked out at the end. The artists name is John Charpentier, a very talented musician.

[jcdenton100]

@Tangram3DS what is it for? It doesn't look like any habitat i have ever seen. Will there be animals inside?

[e3ovuziotica]

The MUSIC?! Is the credits for it? (the scrolling credits are almost blacked out for some reason)

[jona169]

hey gays.. this is awesome.. great animation and also great desing! what sofware did you use for do that?

[everlastingwicca]

i love the animation. very realistic. cool video!

and a note to the boring idiots who keep ranting about how money is needed for the unemployed...well asshole this sort of things keep us architects employed, give alternatives to future developments of cities, merging the functional and the aesthetical!

[Tangram3DS]

Thank you for your interest, but do not use such violent language when you post your comments. I will need to remove or block such posts.

Thank you for your understanding

[salvadorBali]

i am not so sure that an architect would properly think of things aesthetical, rather than aesthetic. though tossing rude remarks needlessly, plain ugly. never mix, never worry, that's the NOLA i love.

[InfiniteEndurance]

I also think its too soon for arcologies, I guess this video is just a demonstration.

[InfiniteEndurance]

These people are not the first to start building arcologies. New arcologies are being build and showcased. And some will inhabit over 70 thousand people. However this will be only available in the future when the population is too hard to control.

[Tangram3DS]

To read more about floating cities or Stationary Buoyant City (SBC) check out Aquantix

[IrinaNOLA]

This thing is too industrial-looking and does not belong anywhere near the Quarter! What is it supposed to be? Some sort of a floating refuge in case of a flood? How many people can you put in there? If it's just a 'visualisation" - it's a total waste of time and money....

[Homecountry]

@IrinaNOLA So...the pyramids which have inspired everything from literature to film, music and architecture, politics and tourism were..."A total waste of time and money"?! Hm, sometimes visual architectural art like this and the pyramids, the engravings in Chile, the ziggurats, the garden of Babylon, etc. simply inspires, for a loong time. I wouldn't go and call that a waste.

[JohnDaCajun]

The only problem with it is it would make our CBD look like crap. (awesome design though)

[Cyaneyed77]

I wonder if Will Wright will get royalties!

[JaceInman]

I agree!

[kubu79]

World's mad! Money is to be used for important things such as caring for the poor and unemployed or war orphans, not this CRAP! I'm amazed at certain American idiots and their idiot brains!

[kubu79]

This structures along with all structres designed to impress remind me of a single thing, a single concept: PROPAGANDA! Propaganda is intended to make people feel happy, secure and eternal in the moment! CRAP that I never bought and never will!

[ninivengl]

@kubu79 come on, you are using youtube! and saying you just dont give a damn for PROPAGANDA!! LOL no sence!

[Porky305305]

I wonder what program is this...........and who will movin in this thing tourist... half the city is poor folks. i love the N.O. but this aint the kind of thing u put there. they should take this money and poor it into the redevelopment of the city...

[aicmario]

I hope Obama goes through with this....

[TheWiretap]

looks like final fantasy LOL

[Hodassa]

i was in that area a few weeks ago

[yonihow]

Hay mucho efecto y poco contenido. Como vive la gente en el interior? con planos inclinados de esa manera? No es habitat.

[djmj1000]

nothing new, since years the japanese plan to build 1km towers being completely independent subcities in the city, the already started an independent 300m height building block for testing purpose

[toras123]

I keep excepting some narrator to say "Meahwhile at the Hall of Justice" and then cut to this building

[TheArcosantiProject]

Paolo Soleri, creator of "arcology," developed the SOLARE: Lean Linear City arcology concept, which has a design variation for areas threatened by water, such as New Orleans. It includes levees as part of the city structure and design (which doesn't float). Though not as "pretty" as this video, you can see a brief flash intro to SOLARE at Arcosanti website and levee variation is introduced in Soleri publication called "Quaderno 9." Where is the urban planning in this NOAH design???

[suretobringskills]

Agreed; where is the urban planning?

[UKNOWTHEIROUTTHEIR]

ARCOLOGY is my 1st fav type of architecture

[UKNOWTHEIROUTTHEIR]

word arcology FTW

[80W42N]

Hasn't New Orleans suffered enough?

[belgreenpeace]

проекта NOAH (New Orleans Arcology Habitat) треугольного плавучего здания-платформы, которое компании Tangram 3DS LLC, VFX Direct и E. Kevin Schopfer AIA разработали специально для Нового Орлеана.

[CourteousCreep]

i think all major cities should be building arcologies they are great in so many ways and one major way is urban sprawl less impact on the farm land meant to feed us and also the wetlands and deforestation

[uglydoris]

For what it's worth and for the uneducated, many parts of the U.S. are at or below sea level including the Nation's Capital - D.C. That being said, we don't really need a giant glowing prism blocking the river. If we could somehow render a 3-d solution to our eroding coastlines that were decimated by the oil industry, THEN we might be on to something. It's not a very unique concept though. Paolo Soleri already started building one in the desert, but I don't think his floats.

[ZAPjiji]

なるほど、これが100年後の青森県観光物産館というわけですね­（ウソですごめんなさい）。

[TEAMSERVERKILLER]

Why do you need to build a huge prism next to my city again?

[hiraiwa119]

[entres]

no...

the pyramid is the sturdiest known form of architecture.

[UKNOWTHEIROUTTHEIR]

that well be the shit

[natyayl]

Great rendering, but this is nothing more than a 1960s urban renewal nightmare with windmills.

[TheRealHero1]

damn thats some good animation and rendering, what programs were used please?

[Tangram3DS]

Thanks for the compliment. We use 3dsMax from Autodesk for our work and Adobe After Effects.

[Azevedo850]

otimo

[rafa580]

If this be done???

[eric73r]

whys it say "New Oreans" at the beginning oops

[Tangram3DS]

Thank you very much for pointing that out. We are correcting that error.

[Tangram3DS]

We corrected the error but unfortunately YouTube doesnt have the option to replace or update the original placed video with a new corrected version. In order to do so, we will need to delete this version and upload the new version.

We do not want to loose the discussions and feedback and therefore we decided to keep the version as is.

Thank you for your understanding_ Team Tangram 3DS

[Tarka42]

Beautiful. Some very negative comments there. Think of the iconic modern structures in Paris etc. One needs to be imaginative, not forgetting to consult fully with the people who will actually continue to live there.

[sanchower]

love this song!

[MasterMark123]

it really showed nothing ... what of ANY of it's interiors ?? or a single floor plan ?? it looks like an inflatable ...

[modelchick8806]

Ha! This will never happen.

[rg0057]

For New Orleans, I'd say we shouldn't be encouraging people to live in areas that are below current or future sea level. Indeed, we should be getting them to move out. Why should the rest of us pay to continue to rescue these people?

That said, this structure should probably be considered as the default for any new high-rise buildings. The shape seems inherently stronger and safer, such as for surviving earthquakes or tornadoes.

[kuzuboshii]

FFVIII Gardens anyone?

Japan will be the first to have one of these.

[getitgoin2007]

What is the song? I like it so much that this video is now part of my Favourites just so that I can listened to it later LOL

[beatsiz]

Loving this video ! ! !

Amazing 3D job!!!

Hopefully I'll get to live in similar concepts someday ;)

[TheCombatFetus]

this looks dumb. just live somewhere else, don't spend all this money on a project that will most likely fail or be unwanted.

[iSlandTerra]

@TheCombatFetus  -you know i hate people like you......you most likely have never been to the city.....and you most likely live in some boring country town with no presents ......just because you think you know something does not mean that you should comment it any way you want......

[TheCombatFetus]

@iSlandTerra - I live in Chicago, nice try though. And I will comment as I please.

[iSlandTerra]

@TheCombatFetus  - and New Orleans is a beautiful place to live and to visit.....so cramp your comment.......k =]

[RijenRijen]

awsome

[Extnoob]

How does it even work?

It just looks like a hollow pyramid to me.

[ExomatrixTV]

Floating Cities is one of MANY MANY arguments AGAINST the so called "overpopulation" myth !

Down with the NWO Mafia Eugenics Agenda !
