    Without humans there's no concept of good or bad, so healing isn't defined. An asteroid could come and kill all plants and animals and it'd be natural. Innocent animals killed by other animals, little kittens falling off heights and then dying alone of starvation, cold and fear. And that'd also be natural. So don't for one moment think the concept of "healing" is something seperate from humans. Without humans there's no concept of healing. The only logical argument for cleaning up the environment is so that it doesn't harm humans. The death of biodiversity is the death of humans. It's not like you can say "we're doing it for the animals" while we mercilessly kill and eat them. It's not logically coherent, so, I beg you to stop consuming this new mind virus of some anti human agenda.

    I fail to see how this is 'sad'. I am happy the evolution of earth will continue long after I'm dead, that my atoms will be used up form other life. You bring up a good point though. This is the very reason I get mad when people exclaim “save the earth”, in regards to climate change - Not, “save humanity, save our way of life, minimise our suffering”. The earth will not care about climate change, nor if humanity dies out.

    Dear Damie, the sweater, soft, fluffy, warm, looks cute on you, suits you well. A medium health tip: When it's cold (autumn and winter), dress warmly and eat a lot of warm food regularly (don't gobble up / eat up the food too quickly). Normal weight to chubby in autumn and winter. Slim to normal weight in spring and summer. So, don't be too skinny in cold periods, rather in warm ones. That many species of creatures gather winter fat is a correct survival behavior.

    Several years ago, I participated in an event at an abandoned mine. We didn't go into the mine itself, since that was unsafe, but we used some of the buildings surrounding the shaft. They were built in the 1950s - 60s, and were abandoned some time in the 1980s. When I visited, they had been abandoned for more than a couple of decades. Some parts of the buildings were reasonably safe for use, though there was moss and club fungi growing along the windows etc. Beside one building, there was a round concrete basin filled with stagnant water, and on the concrete structure in the middle grew a stand of small trees. Enough dead leaves and other debris had gathered there over the years to provide a thin layer of soil for them to subsist on. There was one area we couldn't go, because of a smouldering underground garbage fire that had been burning for years. It could cause the ground to collapse under your feet, sending you into the burn front... while also letting in oxygen to the fire. It would be... bad. I don't really have a point to make, just sharing an experience that is somewhat related to the topic of the video.

    Brutalism grows on you the more time you spend around it, I think, at least in my experience. I was never a fan, thought it was ugly, offensive almost; until I started photographing property for real estate agents in London(UK). I've photographed over 100 flats in the Barbican so far, everything from studio flats to the larger 3 and 4 bed flats in the towers and recently the most unique 5 bed, 2,800sqft flat which used to be the estate office that was converted to residential by architects Tracey Wiles and Ken Mackay. The more time I spend there, in the apartments, the communal areas, the private residential spaces and gardens - the more I end up loving it. And although that part of the city, that kind of living, doesn't really suite my family I would absolutely buy a flat there if the opportunity presented itself. Anyway, loved this video, you and Stewart Hicks are absolutely carrying Architecture on YT right now, keep on being awesome.

Words like, "my tiny little existence' and 'we are the temporary visitors to this building' gave me the impression of how much you understand about life. Then came the most brilliant segway I have seen. I was wondering how you captured the video of your drawing and there you go, you bought in the advertisement without making it seem like one. Absolutely brilliant. Last but not the least, the thought process put into place of how a Dystopian building takes shape is majestic.

The music and the sketching sessions felt really frikkin' epic, which was awesome, but didn't fit with the core concept of the video, which I also liked but I feel I would've enjoyed you diving further into how the state of a building would evolve over time, like talk about the lifecycle of a building after humans are no longer around.

    Hey, new subscriber and have been enjoying your videos a lot. This particular one reminded me of a documentary I watched... damn, must've been early oughties (time flies) trying to explore the same topic. Their argument was that the last human structures left standing would be the largest dams (they used the Hoover Dam as an example) because of their sheer size and resilient design. Sobering thought that there's a consensus that the most enduring legacy of our species will be huge concrete structures ^^ But I wouldn't count us out just yet, pessimism seems to be the current zeitgeist, but we have a pretty decent track record of bouncing back.

    Good video, although as someone who is unlikely to ever visit this building, I had hoped you'd bring more details (& photo/video) of it, especially since your introduction covered how much time you yourself have spent there. I'm also interested in buildings intentionally designed for extreme longevity, as possible future video ideas... 😉

    Fun fact: Robarts Library was the location of one of the Resident Evil movies (Afterlife), so the idea of it being a human stronghold against a zombie apocalypse, has "graced" the big screen. New York in Will Smith's "I am Legend" is another interesting take on the idea of urban environments in a post-human world. Love the style of the sketches, which reminds me of the East Asian watercolour paintings. If you stray out of the city, sometimes it is possible to catch a glimpse of a Great Blue Heron in flight.

    This articulates exactly what made me fall in love with Brutalism. First time visiting the Barbican, what's striking is the juxaposition of natural elements on top of the imposing concrete, all in the middle of London. It really does feel like a place reclaimed by nature, and inspires a sense of peace and timeless perspective because of it.

    Toronto very very rarely get to -30C, especially as the city grows. Now northern Ontario or Edmonton, and so on. That frequently get super cold. I’m in Mississauga now, having grown up in Northern Ontario, and there is practically no winter down here. Great blue herons are extremely common in Toronto, albeit not waltzing down the streets. They can be found in any shallow wetland, typically alongside other herons. They nest in colonies, or heronries, in stands of dead trees typically surrounded by water, such as swamplands. Just found your channel and love it so far. Thanks for the video!

    You ask, "Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without us?" I can answer you: yes. And, I'm not the only one. In "The World Without Us," Alan Weisman offers an utterly original approach to questions of humanity's impact on the planet: he asks us to envision our Earth, without us. It's available on Amazon as a paperback or ebook. You might want to pick it up. Love your channel - keep up the good work!

    Hello! I really liked the new type of video. I'd only suggest you explore more the topic of the video. I was expecting you talk more about the relation of empty buildings and the nature around it or maybe talking more about the creation of the brutalist building you showed. See, I've never visited Canada, so I was like: "hmm, ok, funny concrete building."

    I know it's not the focus of the video but the last building on earth would have to be a mostly compression type structure like a pyramid. Skyscrapers or other structure with "bending" element would eventually collapse when the steel inside collapses.

    There’s a literal TV show on the History Channel called “Life After People” that’s entire premise is “what would happen if every human being on earth disappeared?” Further saying in the intro “this isn’t the story of how we might vanish, it is the story of the world we leave behind… welcome to earth, population zero”

    @ stop motion and it's "ubiquitous" application on youtube: 1st: You used it well in this video! My comment is intended to address the use of stop motion in general! I want to share my experience with youtuber who build or disassemble devices, objects or works of art on camera. The high frequency with which I encountered stop motion in the last years resulted in such an aversion that I either scroll forward until the normal speed video resumed or, I stop watching almost reflexively. And again, it has nothing to do with the the *quality of the execution it's simply that **I see it so often that it has become an annoyance to **me. *These drawings are lovely and very evocative, Two of the qualities that make your channel stand out❤️ **I have no knowledge if or how many youtuber share this experience! I only saw Adam Savage apologising for using it and mentioning that his viewers were not liking it. What I sometimes also do is stopping at interesting "stages". In terms of the video edit I create my on sequence of stills. I wish you and your team, all the best for 2023!
