Mostly Accurate

Analysis Summary

The video displays a CGI architectural visualization of the 'Bond Tower,' a skyscraper project currently under construction in Tirana, Albania, designed by the Portuguese firm OODA. The footage is a digital simulation, not a real-time construction timelapse. The watermark 'Madrid originals' is unrelated to the building's location and likely refers to the reposter's account.

(Music only) Text on screen: Madrid originals

Accurate Information

The building design depicts the 'Bond Tower' project.

The project is real and located in Tirana, Albania.

The twisting shape is a specific architectural feature inspired by ballet dancers.

Inaccurate Information

The watermark 'Madrid originals' falsely implies the building is in Madrid, Spain.

The video is a computer-generated render, not actual footage of a completed construction.

Missing Context

The building was only reported as starting construction in mid-2024, so a full construction timelapse is impossible.

The visualization was created by the studio Plomp for OODA Architects.

Analysis of Claims (2)

Unverified

"The video shows the construction of a building in Madrid (implied by watermark)."

The building is the 'Bond Tower' located in Tirana, Albania, not Madrid. The 'Madrid originals' text is likely a user handle or brand name unrelated to the location.

Fact: The building is the Bond Tower in Tirana, Albania.

Unverified

"The video is a timelapse of a building being constructed."

The footage is a high-quality CGI visualization (render) simulating the construction process. The actual building is currently in the early stages of construction.

Fact: This is an architectural visualization (render), not real footage.
