A minor lore correction. The events in Dune doesn’t take place ten thousand years into the future, it takes place ten thousand years after the Butlarian Jihad, when humanity revolted against thinking machines, which it self happens at least ten thousand years in the future from us. Therefore, the events in Dune takes place at least twenty thousand years in to the future.

This video is excellent! As an aside, the book called "The Dune Encyclopedia” is not officially canonical, but is filled with a prodigious amount of fascinating information. It reveals that the Fremen utilize highly durable tarpaulins, which they hang to protect certain rock faces -- and then they sandblast the unprotected surroundings or allow storms to erode them, ensuring the area behind the protection remains unaffected. The Encyclopedia also notes that in the polar regions, some Fremen cultivate plants that harbor insects secreting a varnish. This varnish is sold to other Fremen in various locations, who then apply it as a thick paste to preserve stone surfaces they wish to protect from erosion. Frank Herbert had verbally agreed with his friend, Willis MacNeally, that MacNeally would oversee compilation of The Dune Encyclopedia. Following this, Herbert planned to approve the Encyclopedia and compensate MacNeally with a substantial sum of money. Furthermore, most or all of MacNeally’s book was intended to become an official part of the Dune universe. Regrettably, before this could materialize, Frank Herbert passed away and his sons reneged on the agreement to pay MacNeally. The agreement was never formalized in writing, leaving MacNeally without legal recourse despite the book’s publication. It is a situation that I find absolutely outrageous. The concept of the planet Vulcan (T'Khasi) was, at a minimum, influenced by the notion of the planet Arrakis. Of Diane Duane's Star Trek novels, "Spock's World," mentions Vulcan megastructures constructed by eliminating all negative volume, including Pelasht -- which is described as supermassive castle-like fortification carved out from an entire mountain. So far as I know, this concept doesn't have any exact real-life counterpart. But it did remind me of Petra, which I appreciate that you mentioned. The Vulcan megastructures also reminded me of Lalibela, the tunnels of Củ Chi, and the subterreanean fortifications at Mount Suribachi. The name of the mountain comes from its shape. In Japanese, the name means a pestle for grinding medicines.

Architecture was very important in the books! Especially the interior architecture of room. Throne rooms have been designed to create optical illusions so that the person at the Thorne feels imposing, important, and huge in size and to make the person walking in feel small.

In the Dune novels by Frank Herbert, plasteel is described as an extremely tough form of steel. It is stabilized through the integration of stravidium fibers into its crystal structure, which enhances its durability and ability to withstand repeated impacts, making it ideal for applications where resilience is crucial, like in the construction of doors which need to endure repeated blows . Moreover, plasteel is also portrayed as a composite material, comprised of organic polymer and carbon-iron alloys, which is utilized across various industries in the Known Universe of Dune due to its plasticity and macroscopic hardness .

Fremen descent from Zensunni who settled on the planet because of its harsh conditions: to free from anything that is not strictly required for survival, which in their eyes meant to be closer to God.

Dune also harks back to T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia)'s book about living with the Arabian tribes during World War 1. Lots of cross over, especially on issues of tribal organisation and tribal life, military tactics, and a host of others. Well worth a read if you have the time.

We tend to think that just because something is tech-related that it automatically means it won't drain the Earth of resources, and silica sand is extremely important to electronic hardware, so more and more computers will do essentially the same thing gas guzzling vehicles will do just in a different way. Very good angles to think about all around in this video. Nice work.

This issue has already been addressed since quarries are using fines to make sands that meet needed standards. Will it cost more? Yes, a little. I'm sure it will be a low single digit increase in cost to manufacture concrete with quarried sand. A highway has a foot of crushed stone under it. Then another 8 inches of crushed stone in the concrete so it's not to difficult to make sand of the same material at the same facility. Often with the same or lower carbon cost of shipped sand. This is a great big nothing burger that white-collar people in construction talk about and the blue-collar people laugh about when we hear it.

Love the variety of your content :)

this was so good thank you! dune is my favorite book

What an awesome video. Lots of inspiring tangents and information!

Dami...well done on the brilliant and informative breakdown of Dune Architecture and culture that learned to live sustainably in a harsh climate and environment. The compariosins berween Dune and our reality provided great insight. There are so many lessons in this. So thank you, Dami, you are a wonderful storyteller and architect/ educator. ❤

What have I stumbled upon!? Woooow I can't wait to dive into the the rest of your content. This was so refreshing. I love how you have considered these nuances. Simple, yet very effective.

Please do more sci-fi/cyberpunk videos! The editing, music and the narration is perfect

3:31 I love your Anima take

I would like some amazing analysis like this for other movies or universes (books, video games), especially science-fiction ones. It's interesting, filled with lore, real or imaginary, really a pleasure to discover. And I enjoy your calm voice and tone, it helps the concentration.

Lovely video and very informative - thank you Dami

I would be very curious and interested to hear you having a conversation with the movie set designers on how they adapt the novel with only written words to their architectural styles to convey the feelings in the novel as it describes the environment and the architectures there!

FYI it took Frank Herbert 19 publishers till one agreed to publish this amazing science fiction book

I just loved dune when i seen it,thanks for this lovely show about this amazing story dami.

Great coverage of Dune's lore! I appreciated how much you care about the setting. Bonus points for showing Geisel Library, my alma mater! I spent many late nights in that UFO.

Love Dune and love your channel and topic. You entertain and educate me. (Much gratitude!) Given Dune's nature as a cautionary tale: being careful and vigilant in differentiating intellectually stimulating narrative from objective reality seems like something our species benefits from and sometimes gets wrong. I appreciate the care and grace you demonstrate in navigating that delicate line. May the spice continue to flow for you and your team.

Can you please speculate on what the future of apartment living will look like through the lens of science fiction? I truly value your expertise and input as an architect and pop-culture critic; and would LOVE if you’d investigate the future of densification, co-living & micro-apartments. 🙌🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿

Just some inspirational food for thought. Brazil, The Fifth Element, Blade Runner 2049, etc... As an inspiring interior architect, I myself am critical of the lack-of biophilic and bio-based materials found in futuristic apartments. What does that say about our speculative futures, quality of life and climate change? What could a healthy and regenerative apartment of the future look like, from the adaptable floor-plan to the furniture inside; and how can we start to chart a path towards a more just and sustainable future?

@@user-ic8no6bq9y If you wanna go "green" future, than I would suggest buildings built out of genetically modified (to grow very fast) wood, possibly, based on bamboo or eucalyptus (if it is possible to make it less prone to forest fires). The problem would be of course water, but if salt water tolerance could be engineered in, they could use abundant saltwater.

We might soon find the liabilities of high population density outweighing the benefits. Cramming hundreds to thousands of people into a factory or office is less necessary than ever. If we can mostly automate factory work, transition information work to telecommuting, and don't want to shop in person anymore, with local production by 3D printing eventually becoming a thing, there's not much reason left to pack people into cities that concentrate pollution and spread disease. Architects and urban planners try to mitigate the adverse effects of high population density, taking for granted that high population density will always be desirable, despite markets suggesting preferences shifting the opposite direction.

This is an amazing video love the channel

Fascinating analysis! Thanks for this!
