As a writer and an illustrator, SAME, except that I like to know a lot about some specific things such as architect, especially futuristic ones because I am doing a lot of sci-fi AU stuff. lmao.

This reminds me of the point Victor Hugo tried to make in Hunchback, architecture is the most permanent and fundamental way that humans communicate with each other, the cathedral communicated the dedication to a cause that the builders had, and every building is trying to tell you something by the very shape and material it's made from

Even though Newton's Cenotaph may not be physically built, we could sure as hell build it in the virtual world and experience the space via VR.

Same, I'm studying to become a software engineer as well! Related to this, I was just thinking about the possibilities that games could offer with such unbuilt buildings. There is a game called Manifold Garden, which was super mesmerizing for me in this sense. And, while VR can never be as great as real life, some of these structures could be, at least partially, experienced by them. And who knows where would the future lead us.

Thank you 😁

As a concept artist, we have to design a lot of things from a rock to an alien life form with their whole ecosystems at times. We're dabble into a lot of professions and often times we use a lot of architecture shape language to intergrade into our works. So these videos really helps!

Cool! I've never been interested in architecture but growing up and living in the American South I see a lot of old buildings next to new buildings and I have always been curious about why the old buildings were built the way they were

I never went to a visual arts or architecture school, but I did major in music performance, and that dead-eyed "Yeah, but I like drawing on paper" bought so many emotions rushing back. 🤣 Regardless of artistic medium, there's a particular kind of solidarity I felt with that! (Can also vouch for Paperlike, if you can't afford a Cintiq, and you don't like the slippiness of a naked iPad screen, it's a really neat product.)

I feel like the Cenotaph would be an interesting VR project.

Eu sou estudante de psicologia e a arquitetura sempre foi algo que admirei, seu canal apareceu pra mim do nada e foi uma das melhores descobertas desse mês que pude ter. Obrigado pelos videos e a maneira que você apresenta tudo (com paixão e simplicidade), isso é algo que me cativa demais!!!

This episode was my first introduction to your channel, I only follow the B1M for learning about engineering and architecture but I was pleasantly surprised with your explanation and presenting. You've got a new subscriber and I look forward to catching up on your previous content 😊

Dami, you're a compelling presenter, if not a performance artist, in the way your videos are composed, visually and aurally. Although I've been a part of the construction/engineering world for more than 40 years, and the large-sacle industrial plant/automation world, I've always been drawn to architecture. I thank you for rekindling that interest in me. I may yet build that Geodesic dome I've dreamt of for the last 4 decades.

Yeah, the central library in Vancouver is still the building that makes me feel the most. It's a strange sort of grandness that makes me feel important instead of insignificant - such a hard thing to manage.

A year after this video again, I have been researching different paper architecture works and one in particular which is not well known where I am is the works of Simon Ungers's Paper architecture: Autonomy and Dialogue and how he managed to build 3 buildings in relation to the book that never would have been built. This is still a great video and a helpful introduction to anyone interested in paper architecture.

I do appreciate how direct and informative these videos are. It feels like a good lecture

I did the landscaping at a Frank Loyd right this year. He utilized rhododendron to make a nooked corner next to the porch. He used red moter in the foundation. Very unique place.

Dami sos una genia! El tiempo que requiere hacer un vídeo como este es inimaginable y no solo eso si no que también lees y respondes los comentarios. Te deseo lo mejor y gracias por todo tu trabajo, lo aprecio mucho.

I'm a lawyer. I know nothing about architecture but I absolutely love your videos. So entertaining and you seem to be really nice.

My favorite paper architecture projects are those with tall, overlapping structures, eventually connected by bridges; overlapped by vegetation, drowned in industrial features or having elegant neoclassical elements. Two examples are "City of pillars" by drachenmagier and the artwork of munashichi.

I don't know if you've been asked before yet as someone who has subscribed just the other day, I'd like to hear your thoughts on Gobekli Tepe the archaeological site in Turkey which was built 11.600 years ago. I'm curious as I have never listened it from an architect before. Have you ever thought about this ancient structure like how and why did they build it? But most importantly how do you feel when you examine it as an architect?

I've always been fascinated by the concept of a Dyson's Sphere... an entire planetary structure built around (thus encasing) a star with humanity living on the interior.

I love your videos, it makes me consider a career change into architecture, but I also really enjoy just learning about higher level concepts and philosophies of it. I’m currently a software engineer and use these videos to help look at web / software from a different perspective.

So just found your channel and definitely subscribing but wanted to say I'm really impressed with how you did this video. Not just the information covered and the gentle handling of a sponsorship so it doesn't feel forced but also your transition from one topic to another. I listen to a lot of longform content and a lot of creators tend to start rushing as soon as they know how long they're going to be going for so people won't get bored or so I'd imagine but I like this and how you did a long silent pause almost like giving someone time to digest the information before moving on. I can't remember the architect's name but in the 50s there was a design for houses to make them much more efficient, for example the laundry room and master bedroom had connecting shelves so folded clothes were put away without leaving the room. Also the windows were set so that the rising and setting of the sun would light the appropriate rooms for most of the day yet also be heat efficient for winter and naturally cooling in Summer. That's basically my dream house and what I wish homes were more like now. I don't have anything for paper architecture but I do love that sphere building and I wish we would build it even if it was to just be a message of coming together for a beautiful experience instead of just profits or agendas.

You're one of my favorite youtubers! you really go in deep with the architectural thought, great video, keep up the amazing work!

It's just so inspirational to hear you talk because it's with so much passion, I'm just a mechanic but hearing you speak makes me want to perfect my own craftmanship.

Great work you are doing to make arch concepts and practices more accessible to a broader audience. Keep up the good work!

Loved this ep. My first introduction to paper arch was FLW's mile high skyscraper and Broadacre City concepts. The practice of dreaming beyond the feasible is essential to healthy progress, imo

I absolutely love your videos. They're so calm, fun and informative. I feel like a good friend, who is super passionate about architecture, is sharing with me all she knows. And it's great. Keep up the great work!

Excellent use of FLW archival video and overall an absorbing video, not just a lecture illustrated with stock photos as so many are. Interesting and original and very well produced.

Recently found your channel... Took a drafting program in high school in 92, and loved the architectural side of it. Thank you for the interesting and insightful videos.

As a huge fan of FLW for all his built ( and unbuilt) designs, I would love to see an in-depth study of "Seacliff", an amazing home residence clinging to the side of a cliff along the sea. While the project certainly looks like a challenging build, it's certainly more doable than the centograh. 🌊

Incredibly insightful in every way! Her smile is contagious, along with her personality and intellect. Your perspective is refreshing!

The library! I absolutely love the architecture in Vancouver.

Wow, Dami, I just discovered you and your videos. I'm not even really into architecture. But you have me mesmerized. I felt awe, wonder, and good while I watched this. It made me realize that I've become numb to a lot of videos. Something about this, the way you make your videos, talk, present the topics, the sounds, sights, _feelings_, really woke my brain up. Amazing. Thank you :)

I've only recently discovered your You Tube channel and have watched about a dozen videos so far. I find them informative, fun, and well produced, and enjoy your presentation style very much.

I would love to see a Dune (2021) analisys from you. The architecture in that movie is amazing. Just what I imagine reading the books (where you have 2 kilometers wide temples for example)

Excellent video; the animation was spot on. Your content is getting better and better, Dami

Dami, your content and production value are off the charts. Expertly edited, intelligently narrated, a non-stop pleasure to consume. Keep doing what you’re doing and thank you!

Just came from a two year old vid of yours, and wow. The difference is astonishing. Your presentation skills have improved so much. Such a polished channel at 500k subs. Congrats

So many cool works of paper architecture in video games, books, tabletop RPGs

Working with architects for 20+ years on facade design and management, the singular aspect that architects usually don't pay a whole lot of attention to is how watertight the building is and the maintenance to keep the inside dry. There is certainly no shortage of outlandish designs, yet the flashings and seal leakage through expansion, aging, poor installation, etc. is a remote consideration.

Loving your videos - I am a infrastructure project manager, so I work with the mechanics of building something. It is refreshing to be invited to look at the artistic side of the process. I am sharing your videos with my co-workers.

Okay this was brilliant. Just came across your channel and it had been a delight. That 'function, space, form' quite reprogrammed my brain a bit 😂

A video on Piranesi's architecture would be so fascinating!

after binge watching your videos, and what i have realised is that what i love about massive buildings is the sense of ethereal. sometimes we want something so unreal and yet so believable that it drives us. it is the sense of why dreams are so mesmerising. also, youtube algorithm is doing wonders. thank you for video.

I have only been to the Vancouver public library once but I still remember it well, the Victoria library isn't as grand but I really enjoy going there

Storytelling is so calming. One of my favourite channel. Thank you!

Dami: "If you liked this video, leave a thumbs up" I'm going to need some extra hands to to get more thumbs to show appreaciation because "liked" falls very short to what I felt with this one. Dami, this must be one of your best ones if not the best video you've done.

Congrats! keep it up! 💪💪💪

I really liked your insight into why architecture is intertwined with society and its development. Most people think they are extremely detached, because it is difficult to separate the different projects and purposes behind them in context. More on the main topic, Boullée is one of my favorite "paper architects", but if I have to choose for the next video suggestion on this, I think that Piranesi would be a great choice! As an Italian kid, I was mesmerized by "Le Vedute di Roma" and, in particular, by the realism and the (impossible) self-standing dome of the print "Tempio Antico".

Your Videos are of such high quality, i really enjoy it! I am always waiting for the next Video even tho I was not interested in architecture a month ago (im into computer sciemce) Kepp Your Good work ^^

My personal favorite paper architecture project is Professor Wolf Hilbertz's coral ark, aka "cybertecture". The idea was to encourage coral to grow in a guided way, creating a hybrid of artificial reef and sea stead.

Wow, your channel is something else, so informative, and in such a tasteful way!

I just want comment how great your videos are! I'm really enjoying them and you're a great storyteller!

I've just found your channel and I think your videos are amazing and really informative. I hope you continue to make more 💓

I'm glad the SLC library was so inspiring for you! I had to do a double take, as I'm not used to seeing it talked about. 😊

Incredible video! I'd be really interested in looking more into the idea of Paper Architecture, my first thoughts are of how modern video game design and VR might let us walk these spaces that we were never meant. I'd love to see some of these old concepts revitalised in that format.

Amaaaaazing. Fascinating!! And so well done, this video is. Beautiful, informative visuals, clear and concise words.

Wish I had a teacher like you back in the day. Very easy to listen too, nice job I liked a lot.

I'm a BIM manager and I love learning about these projects, even though I've heard and forgotten much of it before in architecture school.

My favorite paper architecture project is the Volkshalle, the size of that dome and the immensity of the whole structure compare to the human size it would make people feel something unique

I love the building you have on this intro. The Newton Cenotaph design is awesome. I'm trying to design my own home and this absolutely gives me inspiration. Thank you. Do you have more pictures of it? Not the one you talk about with the long dark tunnel, but the one on the cover shot. Love it.

Lebbeus Woods is a master in that kind of architecture and one of my favorites! Imagine that concepts aplied on a Tsutomu Nihei manga! wooooow. hahaha great video!!

there are things in the world that we use to use that is no longer needed but it was what got us where we are today and those older things are so artistically beautiful and engineered its mind blowing. so its the obscure architecture drawings you see, is what opens up other possibilities. amazing

Honestly, the last time I was so engrossed in the subject of a video was when I was 11 and watched Carl Sagan’s ‘Cosmos’ for the first time. This was utterly fascinating and I wish it had gone on longer. Hell, I wish you would do something akin to ‘Cosmos’ for architecture. Brilliant!

I love your videos. You do an amazing job at explaining and giving examples

This is lovely. All your work here is lovely. Don't know if they fit the term "Paper Architecture" (learning about architecture is a new hobby for me), but I'm in love with Gianbattista Piranesi etchings and, maybe even more than Piranesi, I'm really in awe when I look at Gerard Trignac etchings, with those giant structures and the feeling of past grandeur and present relinquishment.

I saw your best scifi picks and really liked your breakdown of each movie or setting and surroundings. Just watched your why buildings make us feel, the way we do as to appreciate the space use of materials and our experience in it. I too have been a FLW fan and to feel the energy his architecture has brought forth. One of his disciples (as we call them) John Lautner has some clever and unique approach to everyone of his projects. I was going to mention Hugh Ferris of the early 20's and 30's illustrations of how some viewed what the future would resemble in architecture.

When I was a boy I was fascinated by architecture, so much so that I thought that was my destiny [okay, that or a race car driver, or astronaut, or...!] but it did manage to carry through to my teens. Life teaches us lessons and I soon realized I didn't have the discipline necessary to make architecture a career but the fascination never left. I love, Cami, how you bring that inspiration back, that love for the art of architecture and I thank you. I look forward to seeing all your videos. :)

Beautiful video (and so are you). It improved me a little more. Thanks for share with us. I wish you continue finding good reasons to keep your trully enchanting smile up. 🌹

My father built small, traditional wooden sailboats and had a small maritime library. In it was a book on Herreshoff, a third generation boatbuider from the American northeast. He was famous for practical, beautiful and good performing designs. The book was a collection of these designs, all famous in one way or another. At the back of the book there were three pages dedicated to the yacht he never got to build. If I remember correctly, and it was so long ago I'm certain not to, it was a 150 foot, three- masted schooner. She was beautiful. Her lines seemed delicate and robust; her rigging simple enough to not lose flexibility and a sail plan to match; the rake of her masts had a taste of something magic. Her Floorplan, the point of your question, was a compromise of giving everyone private space while keeping all hand as close to tue work the ship needed. It felt airy in my imagination, yet everything had its place. This design made me feel like an adventurer of olde just looking at her on paper. And my father confirmed that you could buy the complete plans from the Herreshoff estates and build her for yourself, if you had the millions it would require to build her. I've always wondered why not a single billionaire since the turn of the 20th century never did.

I wish the giant sphere building was built. It would have been an incredible structure to encapsulate the awe of and scale of outer space. Very monolithic. Imagine the acoustics in there too.
