One of the coolest things about the Elysium space station is that its wheel shape isn't just a really clever way to communicate the limited and self contained nature of the of the habitat in the film, its actually based in real physics and space engineering. Elysium is a depiction of a proposed space habitat design called a Stanford Torus, which rotates to creates artificial gravity on its inner surface through centripetal acceleration. The torus can be open to space because the acceleration keeps the air pushed against the inner surface and the walls prevent it from spilling over the side; however most serious designs keep the torus entirely sealed to protect against radiation. Residents of an open topped torus like Elysium would suffer from high rates of sunburns, and cancer.

Oh that's makes a lot of sense. In the movie they have a device that as long as your brain is intact it can cure basically anything. So I think that is the reason why they didn't bother protecting themself from cancer causing radiation. Also isn't there a risk of the open torus slowing down? How does the torus rotate?

@@joshuavarghese619 Thats a good catch, the stations residents can basically ignore long term radiation damage because of their medical technology. It wouldn't help as much against the sunburns, severe sunburn can happen very fast in the right conditions and hurt a lot, but it would be pretty on theme for all the super rich residents of the station to be overusing their magic health care technology simply so they could have an open sky overhead. In the ideal case an open torus' rotation wouldn't slow down any more than a closed one, since the air inside is rotating at the same speed as the rest of the station there are no drag forces, and any air molecules that escape the open top torus (which would happen slowly, atmospheres don't have a hard "top," they just get exponentially thinner until you can't measure them anymore) would spill out in random directions, so there is not net impulse on the station itself. In reality drag against the tenuous upper reaches of earth's atmosphere, gravitational interactions with the moon, and sun, and other effects will slowly alter the stations orbit, and probably rotation rate as well. This is something every space station, satellite, and spacecraft has to deal with, so there would be thrusters to periodically correct the stations orbit and rotation, like on the ISS. Since the station is in space with nothing connecting to it and doesn't need to maneuver like a spacecraft there doesn't need to be a complex rotation mechanism, the whole object can get spun up by thrusters on the outer edge of the torus and left to spin.

Even if completely sealed a large enough breach anywhere would open the whole station to vacuum, and a loss of rotation would destroy the station rapidly. For weight and engineering reasons any such habitat would have to be made as a tensile structure, using the force of the rotation to hold the whole station together. That’s the ultimate irony of Elysium, the inhabitants of the station are using their fantastic wealth and power to live in the most precarious, dangerous place they possibly could simply so they could ignore the existence of poor people.

The construction and transportation of all these custom pieces needed to fit around the rock in the Ex Machina house, probably produced more greenhouse gases and hurt the environment much more than just breaking the fucking rock. Classic architect behavior.

Of all the videos to pop up in my feed randomly in the last couple of years, I have to say that this video is the most timely and relevant for me as a teacher. I have zero experience with architecture in any professional capacity, but I enjoyed each of the films you reviewed in this video. More importantly than that, your analysis of these films within the context of design and our impact on the world around us started to hit home with me in other ways. As a teacher of quite a few years, I have always struggled with how to design the layout of my classroom: where desks go, how to use wall and ceiling spaces, etc. As you note for Ex Machina, my classroom often feels like the bottom floor of the enclosure because the tools I have at my disposal are limiting: same square desks, same whiteboard, same projector screen, etc. What I have failed to see up until I watched your video, is that I am limiting myself in classroom design thinking because I am only using the visual 2D world when I draw up plans. This concept of haptic experiences is a real eye opener for me because though the limitations I have for the classroom space I have remain the same, I can at least approach the puzzle with a more circumspect mindset. I need to begin educating myself on haptic design so that when I make order requests for my classroom next year I might be able to articulate a vision that actually gets me what I need and my students need. Thank you!

I think that i'd be really interested in an architect's opinion particularly on speculative fiction movie (scifi and fantasy)s, because the architecture is so important in selling us other these other worlds. In some ways, it has the potential to go even further than contemporary fiction where architecture is used to emphasize a particular character or institution. Like for instance, prior to mechanisation, it was common for a building to be built around the landscape, and more often than not a building was the result of generations or extensions and renovations, resulting in a very organic, lived in architecture that very few fantasy visual media manage: it's oftentimes a bit too pristine when it's built from scratch, but stuff like lord of the rings nails the feeling of history running through its imagined spaces.

Inception makes an analogy with architecture elsewhere when they say one dreamer builds the space and another populates it. The architect designs the space but the users and residents fill it with life. There is then a tension of the two where one can mess up the plans of the other, or one can help the other.

When you were going over ex machina, it reminded me of this old lady I know who owns a compound on the island of Crete. She built her homes integrating it with nature. Many of the interior walls are actually structures from the mountains. Basically, there’s these gorgeous mountains that lead down a valley, facing the water. And she built the homes down that path, on the downward slope of the mountains. It’s gorgeous and very interesting. All self-sustainable too

Blame! Is one of the greatest SF manga, not only for the architecture, but also about how well computer systems are merged into the story.

OMG I'm surprised you know BLAME!, it's one of my all time favorite, all Nihei's works are food for my mind, my imagination goes wild reading his mangas and I re-read BLAME!, Sidonia every year! The way he uses environment and world building to tell the story instead of dialogs and text walls is why I love his works so much. I hope one day his work will be adapted by good director for the big screen. You should react to more anime and game architecture/interior design, would love to see those. I can recommend Psycho Pass (one of the best sci-fi anime ever), Mirror's Edge Catalyst (I spend most of my time just looking at the city and environment rather than playing the game), CONTROL (I love the way they created the brutalist architecture in the game) and Stray (the cat game!) just to start. PS: I'm a student of Interior and Architecture too, though no longer practicing.

Ok. Subbed. KZread brought me here. I have never been overly interested in architecture...until today. This is scratching an itch I didn't even know I had!! DamiLee is clearly passionate about her work and that passion is captivating. omg....do I wanna be an architect?

I really enjoyed the section about Blame!, it always made me wonder a lot about why Nihei's work is always like that. Thank you for the insight.

god blame! was so good. I can't stress that enough I absolutely obsess over it it's so amazing.

The first house was featured in the Netflix show, The World's Most Extraordinary Homes which shows what one could do with unlimited resources and World renowned architects.

Thank you. I stumbled across this channel and and found the insights thoughtful and enlightening.

Blame is absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend a read. Awesome that you tackled it here.

Just discovered your channel and I've got to say your intelligence and thought-provoking content are a breath of fresh air. Go you!

@DamiLee Kudos to you and your team. This is fantastic. The quality of the contnet and the insights within is absolutely brilliant. The attention to detail, the ability to dive into subtle nuances within not just the film concepts, but into a myriad of topics is incredible. To anyone reading this comment, highly recommend subscribing and supporting this channel. Brilliant stuff.

Love this channel because she blends architecture with history and pop culture making it relatable for everyone on some level!❤

Dami, I love your videos and looking forward to part 2! I'm a game designer with a bit of a background on architecture (my father is an architect, I studied for 1 year and I'm a big fan). I love all these thoughts on how spaces can make us feel different things. In videogames we also only have a few senses to rely on but we can try to convey more. It would be cool if you can make a video about architecture in games.

That’s a great idea! Do you have any suggestions on games I should talk about?

@@DamiLeeArch sure! there are many games that take inspiration from real life, as well as some that experiment with styles. Here are some that come to my mind: Bioshock 1 and 2 are placed in a fictional city under the sea, in 195X, they use lot of art deco. Control is THE game for brutalism lovers. Dishonored 1 and 2 present the fantasy city of Dunwall inspired on Victorian London, they reinterpret some architectural themes form other times and eras there (check out the Duke's palace, for instance). Assassins' Creed saga is known for trying to achieve historical accuracy (some are situated in the middle ages, ancient Greece or the french revolution). Mirror's Edge is basically about doing parkour in a very modern functional city, everything looks brand new and clean there (and quite realistic, compared to the others). Those are some good options if you're interested in how architecture styles influence games (there are a lot of gothic references in medieval fantasy games like Dark Souls, also). But you might also be interested in how Level Designers use architectural concepts to design the layouts of their spaces. Or if you like urbanism, I would recommend "Cities: Skylines" as a fun toy. ;)

@@DamiLeeArch Also try Control. The whole story happens in a sentient brutalist building whose interior is much bigger than its exterior.

Thank you for the movies suggestions! The video idea is great!

The note @18:40 saying "You can sleep when you are dead." cracked me up hahahh

You've managed to create content I didn't think I'd seek out. That's some of my favorite content. Well done, and thanks. Subbed.

Gotta discuss Oblivion with Tom Cruise and Joe Kosinski

Really interesting video. I’m an architect too and I enjoyed your selection especially Blame! (Pronounced blam - like the sound a gun makes).

This is one of the most uniquely interesting channels on KZread. I love the wide range of topics you explore in your videos.

You really got me with this, one of the best subs i have ever had. I was thinking of frank loyd webber snd my love of yhe little arcitecture i had known growing up as soon as i realized you where talking about the ai movie and not the anime, and then again and again you brought up stuff I really liked even though it was misunderstood as political instead of comedic and introspective of the larger issues... you are probably one of the smartest people i have seen and almost everyone i have ever met says i am the smartest person they have ever known. Thank you for sharing your amazing eye for art and design.
