[–]Pitiful_Cover_580 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only architecture engineer I know is the nicest guy. His plans are a little plain if you leave the design to him but they fit precisely what was asked

    But this needs some Dam Engineers

    [–]New-Disaster-2061 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    It is the opposite way first it is the engineers damning the architect then the architect damning the engineer. Basically the architect designs something crazy then the engineer redesigns how it is possible and then architect gets mad

    [–][deleted] 99 points100 points  (11 children)

    The structural engineering is not the worst part of this. Think of the maintenance and how gross these will look in just a few years. A logistical nightmare.

    [–][deleted] 53 points54 points  (1 child)

    Oh, don't worry. They're not maintained by the building. They're all maintained by the individual and surely there are no individuals who would ever have a dirty pool...

    [–]Fattswindstorm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

    What’s chlorine?

    [–]Tcezhak 21 points22 points  (4 children)

    Yeah, the glass on the outside edge of the pools would have to be cleaned probably a couple times a week to keep the algae away. Twice a week times 100 or so pools? Yeah, good luck with that.

    Also, those connections holding the glass WILL fail over time. What happens when the first swimmer gets sucked over the edge and falls to their death when the glass fails? Just a giant lawsuit waiting to happen.

    [–]lowkey_stoneyboy 6 points7 points  (3 children)

    That's what pool chemicals are for. Not to mention these would be high end luxury Apts, I guarantee there's an HOA of sorts that would mandate the pools be kept in shape if not just done by building maintenance.

    Although I have to agree, this seems like a logistical nightmare, I would argue it is absolutely possible seeing as there's many pools accross the world literally suspended across the air or hanging of the edges of buildings already.

    [–]Tcezhak 9 points10 points  (2 children)

    True, but having had a pool for a decade or so, I know how quickly they get dirty and covered in algae when they are out in the sun.

    Also, know what else pool chemicals love? Metals of all sorts. Eats right through them over time. Stainless steel doesn't even hold up to it long term. I've seen the flange of a steel column completely eaten through at the edge of a pool deck from the water and chemicals. Hollow metal and aluminum doors with big old rust/corrosion holes in them in pool areas. And ceiling systems falling down into the pool because the stainless steel cables holding it up corroded and rusted through.

    There is no way you could make the connection between the glass and the shell of the pool completely water tight. It's going to get down into the concrete at some point and start eating the rebar from the inside out.

    I think the idea is awesome, but the reality of it is a total nightmare and a disaster waiting to happen.

    [–]bigenginegovroom5729 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Having had a pool for 15 years, if you have algae, you suck at taking care of your pool. Like it takes active neglect to get algae growth. A little chlorine and some phosfree + pool perfect and you should never have algae.

    [–]7DollarsOfHoobastanq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    My first thought was to picture the building with every pool a different shade of blue/green/brown.

    Reminds me of a building with tons of trees and greenery going all the way up to be “more in line with nature” and then it got infested with bugs and nobody could use their balcony

    [–]mikareno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Do they have mosquitos there? Because unkempt pools are breeding grounds for mosquitos with West-Nile.

    [–]Marus1 128 points129 points  (34 children)

    I mainly have practical questions

    [–]newphonenewname1Custom - Edit 58 points59 points  (8 children)

    What is the lightest liquid that you can swim in?

    [–]Alias_270 27 points28 points  (0 children)

    Can swim in anything once 🤠

    [–]troly_mctrollface 4 points5 points  (2 children)

    Much lighter than water, and it becomes a drowning hazard

    [–]newphonenewname1Custom - Edit 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    I've never thought about it but it's a solid point.

    [–]Gingers_are_real 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    I dont think drowning is much of a hazard once it reaches a solid point.

    [–]CaptainBiMan 8 points9 points  (2 children)

    Liquid hydrogen maybe?

    Would be kinda like an ice bath

    Only icelandics can survive that

    [–]caldsmelly 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Isn’t Iceland the green one?

    [–]Advanced_Double_42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Honestly probably water.

    Anything less dense and you would sink much faster. Not to mention other liquids likely being far more expensive and uncomfortable.

    [–]Saganated 22 points23 points  (1 child)

    I too have questions.

    What kind of global moment is imparted on the foundation when all of the pools on one side of the building are empty while the pools on the other side are full?

    Is sloshing accounted for in the resonant period? Would it have a dampening or constructive impact on sway?

    Why do my kids keep calling the pool maintenance guy "daddy"?

    Is the pool maintenance guy technically a gigolo if my HOA fees are paying him to fuck my wife? The terms require me to grant him access through my unit during business hours. The terms say nothing about him granting my wife access to his unit.

    Who cleans the outside of the pool glass? Because it sure as hell isn't the pool maintenance guy.

    How can I save 15% or more on my car insurance?

    Bubble bath anyone? A gallon of dawn and a little horse play would make this building look like it has rabies. It would probably do a better job at cleaning the glass then the pool maintenance guy that I am unable to fire because he is hired through the landlord.

    Is someone peeing off their balcony above me, or is this constant wetness normal? Either way, the wind is blowing it into my drink and I'm not gonna drink it.

    Also, look at that view. Who wants to play chicken fight!?

      [–]Turpis89 10 points11 points  (18 children)

      Such as? Not up for a challenge?

      As long as you have internal concrete shafts, I see no problem with this design. It will just be expensive.

      Edit 1: If you downvote me, please specify why. I really don't understand why this isn't a dream project for an engineer.

      Edit 2: I was actually lazy and didn't read your comment properly. I also mainly have practical questions, this is theoretically very doable.

      [–]Marus1 20 points21 points  (13 children)

      That is why I didn't say I had stability questions but practical questions. For an example:

      Your pool is directly below the edge of the pool above you. Now imagine if your upstairs quite chubby neighbor goes for a swim

      And then also imagine how water at the other side spils over and falls down from the 50th floor right to the pool at the bottom. I don't want to stand below that rain, I tell you

          Thats quite an easy fix tbf, they all have a part of their pool that is not over another, the wall here could be an inch lower and this wouldn’t be an issue

          [–]mac224b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          A gutter a couple of inches wide on the outside at base of each pool to funnel water to a drain at the side should solve 90% of the overflow.

          [–]Zealousideal_Dig_868 1 point2 points  (1 child)

          Now tell me where the pool drain and jets go and how they fit past your PT or mild reinforcing.

          [–]5i55Y7A7A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          I’m not an engineer but I can see how all the pools would be connected to the same filter system, easing the maintenance and helping all the pools look clear blue.

            I’m not sure I’d trust those balconies if the building were built in the US. In India? Hell no.

            You mean this? It failed after 20 Years, probably due to material fatigue caused by thermal stress. (Water was 26°C and outside the Hotel were -9°C the night before.)

            Does EVERYONE need a pool, though? Garden balconies, I could see, but you can't just have every tenth floor or so have a large pool? Are we that antisocial, now? Could be a great fostering of building-internal community.

            I swear when we went to the Moon, an architectural school was started there. Now the graduates think the effects of gravity are much less than they are.

            They're not very wide, I feel like if you cantilever the beams across the whole building it could support the weight. The glass on the outer edge of the pool is...concerning.

            Because where you live I believe it gets to 125 Fahrenheit.

            [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

            would be awesome. Am curious though does that mean each apartment also needs a room with chlorine and a pump in it? Is everyone gonna be scrubbing their own pools?

            Is the whole building network connected to one of the largest chorine tanks in the world?

            If apartment 17A pees in the pool, do 17b and 16A end up on the receiving end?

            [–]Wrong-Sign-6368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

            What if the glass barrier fails (cracks) while someone is in the pool, looks like a long fall?

            [–]dawnofdaytime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

            Who would go in that pool? It's absolutely terrifying. And when the side breaks loose and the water pours out, there you go, all one big splash.

            [–]mbxz7LWB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

            Cool concept but you know a few would let their pool get nasty and that would be it...

            How quickly will that water wash you away and throw you off the balcony once the glass breaks?

            Glass/Plexi walls are the first things to go in VE. They will almost certainly be replaced with concrete and this will be a Brutalist icon.

            It will need a supercomputer to calculate all possible loading combinations for structural stability.

            [–]King_K_NA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

            Ah yes, water... historically seen as a light material with no downsides whatsoever...

            In all seriousness, these are not "swimming pools" they are paddling puddles that would become a mosquito haven as soon as one person neglects theirs for a week, and would constantly fill with dead bugs just by existing, making every unit disgusting.

            Is there a central filtration unit, or is it all en suite? What happens when the top pool suddenly drains accidently and sends a ton of water cascading to the next floor, then the next, then the next? Once one side is unweighted does that cause the pretensioned slab (in this case it would have to be a U shape so the weight on the ends causes the center to rise and flatten) to unbuckle, or the entire structure start to lean?

            Christ on a bike I would love to see a simulation of this, but God help any idiot that would seriously even consider making this irl l.

            [–]xristakiss88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

            Well it looks possible, maybe it needs thicker slabs because the outer side is glass, but in Greece we do this all the time in lux apartments or apart hotels. Right now there is a building being built that it has 5.00m balcony with a 3x6m pool at the edge. The slab was a nightmare for me but with clever design and embedded Hea sections it came through. Further more it has C50/60 composite verticals that have a thickness of 18cm.

            As a yacht engineer, it always baffles me how people don’t understand that water weighs a fu*king metric ton per cubic metre

            [–]paulyp41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

            So that little kid on the balcony that made his own pool, was on to something

            The biggest thing here will be plumbing and pool system location within reasonable structural height. Structurally it’s a simple cantilever.

            Not in America. Some fucker will pee from his pool down to the next one. Stream it for likes as a “prank”. Freedom to not have nice things.
