The video explores the concept of housing the entire human population in a single building. It begins with the example of Whittier, Alaska, where the entire town lives in one building. The video then discusses large stadiums and buildings with high seating capacities, such as the AT&T Stadium and the Great Mosque in Mecca.

Finally, it theorizes a mega building that could house everyone, comparing it to existing structures like the Burj Khalifa.
