There was a tool like milanote developed by one slavic team in mid 2000s and it was even better in terms of functionality... but due to lack of attention and no commercialization the project died out, unfortunately. I'm using milanote for visual representation of system analysis I make. I still also use paper for that matter, but web access & ability to embed links and files is very attractive. Thanks again!

The cable TV that I grew up couldn't compare to the production quality that you are providing. Your channel is an example why the networks are collapsing. Great content. Coming from an old man who dreamed of becoming an architect as a young boy. The joy I found then is being relived today through your channel. The beautiful thing is that I am not experiencing regret but a renewed youthful curiosity to visit the world of architecture to experience the built poetry that has been and continues to be built. Thank you

I was part of a project in the 7th grade called Marsville in 1994. Science classes from multiple schools around the area competed to figure out how to build a colony on Mars, and sustain it. I was part of the water reclamation department. We had to design a system that would provide a continuous water supply for people, for any animals we had, for the plants, and for the atmosphere. We'd had ideas ranging from purifying urine to pumping in water from the poles, to using the Star Wars equivalent of a vaporator inside the domes (which were all inflatable) to capture and store water vapor. We figured out that we had to tie our system into the other departments to make them homogenous. We built (inflated) a small settlement inside an old aircraft hanger in Merced, CA. All of the classes were competing to create the best, most efficient design most likely to succeed. We sci-fi nerds of the classes were the ones coming up with wild 'what if?' ideas (bringing water from the poles, and using Star Wars style vaporators inside was my idea.) I don't even remember who submitted this challenge to my school's science department. It's hard to know if whomever did used any ideas from all of the nerdy 12 and 13 year old kids. Kids can be brilliant. Their imaginations can sometimes come up with ideas adults can't due to the freedom they still have to entertain wild ideas. I hope they got something from us that at least jump-started some new ideas for surviving on Mars. :)

Projection, projection, projection... I was living in a basement for a while with absolutely no windows. I set up a projector with surround sound and had the ocean constantly projected in a video loop on one entire wall. It was a game changer. It felt like I was living literally right on the beach. I even let it run while I slept with a night beach scene. It was very relaxing and that closed in and buried feeling was gone. I picture a special room on Mars with real grass and plants growing in it. Video projections running non stop of either the wilderness or some beautiful place. It could even be timed with a sprinkler system that waters everything from above and projects a rainy day on the walls. Not quite a Star Trek hollow deck, but close.

I work providing mental health in a state prison for about 4 years. A lot of what you're describing about the potential living conditions and psychological effects of living on Mars really reminds me of what I saw in prisons. Some of the people I worked with there were really negatively affected, others were totally fine. I think we could learn a lot about studying residents of prisons, that could help us prepare for living on Mars. I don't think the fundamental of psychology of prisoners is really that much different than anyone else, people are people.

[@halnineooo136]

That's about those who are willingly choosing to live in prison like conditions. Now what about children born on Mars who didn't choose or ask to live on a radioactive desert where they depend on a pressure suit to stay alive a soon as they want to walk out of prison ? Isn't that a form of child l abuse ? Would you want your child to be raised on tech island surrounded by a deadly radioactive desert 20 light minutes away from what would look to them as paradise?

As someone who worked the night shift for two years I can personally say that it's mostly sleep deprivation. Our bodies are adapted to sleep at night. Sleeping during the day was always difficult, especially in the summer. One of oddest things was that I hardly had any dreams during the day. I felt almost zombie like and it was seriously affecting my personality. The lack of sunlight also didn't help. Eventually I decided to quit and barely a month later I felt like I was alive again. Found a job with slightly better pay and normal hours. How human beings would manage to live in the depths of space for years with our hardwired evolution and what effect it would have psychologically is quite the conundrum.

I was a medican intern until recently and, surprisingly, I think I can provide some imput on this. The rut is real. The creeping insanity is real. The alienation from other people and other spaces outside of your little bunker is real. Even the most humane spaces can mess with your head. I lived with my internship group for 2 weeks at a hospital outside of town while we were on rotation there. It felt like a month or two. With nothing to do besides work or roam the halls and small outside area, with the stress of constantly being around people's sensitive workplaces and a highly competitve test coming up, we went a little mad. It felt like Hotel Outlook. I think another really good comparison to this Mars mission are oil rigs. People spend months at a time working and living in there. There's also that intrusive mix of work and private life.

[@tylerdurden3722]

In my experience, most types of people adapt to such situations just fine. I worked on a relatively tiny prospecting ship (for a diamond company)...our location and purpose, etc had to remain covert...so no interaction with people outside that boat. We'd be on that tiny ship for at least 3 months at a time. Sometimes that got extended. Most of the people I encountered don't become emotionally unhinged from living cramped on a ship like that. You become like family, everyone settles into their routines. The worste types for that situation are the types who can't maintain long term friendships/relationships/etc. They also tend to be self-centered. Normally in society they'd burn their bridges and move on to the next person. But on a tiny ship, they run of people and they're confined to live with the people they've ruined relations with. That's the point when they look like they become emotionally unhinged, etc. I have a client who works in Antarctica for extended periods. He also mentioned they're like family.

[@DragonZombie2000]

I mean your input is essentially no more valuable than any random Twitter user who yhink they know more about a subject than they actually do. You spent a 2 week internship with some folks.

Same, my mum worked as a cleaning lady, so I was dragged along to all these large buildings, school, colleges and offices, generally after hours, where I just got to explore empty buildings.

[@howardlittman269]

This was and interesting reminder, for me, of the psychological effect of the novelty of spaces. When we remodeled our house our neighbors, many of them contractors, said that we were doing it all wrong with the widely varying room sizes, ceiling heights, and sight lines costing too much money and making the house so unique as to be nearly unsaleable. We had no intention of selling the house, period, not just in the near future, so we hired an architect (Mehrnoosh) who agreed with our vision. The result was a house that has been supremely livable and emotionally comfortable for the last 30 years. These concepts would be even more important for people living in a totaly confined environment such as a habitat on Mars. Thank you for this well researched presentation.

Great video. The psychological issues of living in a highly restrictive space separated from a hostile outside environment need to be thoroughly investigated before committing people to a mission to another planet.

An aborted Mars mission could involve a return time of more than a year.

First caught wind of your channel by pure accident, but it has proven to be incredibly fascinating to watch. Looking at things through an architectural lens is not something I'd considered before. But the way that where we live on Mars could effect whether we truly can 'live' on Mars is so cool to consider. As with a lot of the sci-fi related videos I've watched lately. Or the odd and often overly ambitious future plans for right here on Earth. It's just something I'd not had cause to consider much.

As an introvert, being constantly surrounded by people in a small environment for a year would probably push me to violence. So yeah, i can totally see why that experiment with the rats went the way it did. I for one need solitude, like I'm happiest if i see maybe one or two people per day for a few minutes. Maybe a good hour long conversation like once a week or so. I do need that social interaction just like everyone else, but in much, MUCH, smaller doses than most.

Great video! A note: Martian living spaces will include big caves, the huge inner volumes of lava tubes. These environments has to be built, made, constructed as well. That is an another very interesting topic. Especially, as Moon habitats will be built like that too. How a lava tube garden is constructed? It will be a village, or a town , perhaps a city (depending on the needs and on the size of the volume). It is also a question of architecture, how it is formed. Buildings - or flats carved in the size of the lava tube? Should there be a lake, perhaps some small brook? How should light be solved, and regulated? Green areas? What kind of animals? Etc, very interesting questions.

[@gfopt]

@@Blodhelm actually a paper were released about partial gravity effects on rats, and it seems they were just absolutely fine with it.

I see enormous care and planning which is so lacking in many KZbin videos. Yours (my words fail me) is a complete whole with nothing left out. Even watching you speak is an adventure in expressive content. PLEASE, make more, I am a real fan.

[@ianmetcalfe7389]

I Love your accent I could just listen to you talk about anything. It's just a bonus your talking about living on Mars 😊.

[@davidwarren9204]

I had an experience of this kind of stuff when I returned to Australia from overseas during the pandemic. like all similar returnees, I was compulsorily quarantined in a single hotel room 24/7 for 14 days. I literally never left that room the entire period, even for one minute. Here, I note that even prisoners get a certain amount of 'yard time' in their day, and get to move from place to place to shower, eat and so-on. ONE ROOM, NON-STOP. Imagine it... Now I'm a very chill dude, and have a solid tolerance for stress. I coped with it, but I'm not going to lie - it was REALLY stressful. The things that struck me were the little things: the monotony of the simple rectangular space - there was no complexity/ randomness in the space or 'other' places to go (except the tiny bathroom), and the window was triple-glazed and unable to be opened. So I could SEE the streets of Sydney outside, but couldn't taste, touch or hear it. The fact that it was a modern, clean hotel made it harder if anything. Too 'sterile' and 'perfect'. II would have welcomed a crack in the wall or the texture of old bricks... it was a very weird experience and not one I'm keen to repeat.

By the way do you know anybody who died of covid ? I don't. And I don't know anyone who knows anyone who died dueto the flu

[@JR-lv9nb]

How does it feel to know all of that Was for nothing

[@JR-lv9nb]

It's funny how KZbin removed my comment saying that all of this was due to the simple. Flu virus 🤧

[@SkateEverythingProject]

Amazing video!! Production felt like it was on par with Discovery channel, but you're calming, down-to-earth, relatable presentation just made it even more enjoyable than any TV doc. It gave me those tingly feelings of wonder that I haven't felt in a long time, thank you. Bravo!

[@dennismartins3899]

I love your videos! They are truly enriching. My daughter is going to college in architecture and I showed her your KZbin channel and she is loving this innovative approach, rich in high quality display!

[@davidhosea850]

I can't believe that architectures can be related to psychological things. The Proxemic thing is just like being friend with someone that is different than your environment. You either able to accept it or feel annoyed of his presence.

[@tonycheny2309]

I've always been fascinated by Mars and this vdo is great in its idea to mix architecture and Martian exploration. As you mentioned, the human factor is the greater risk and choosing the right concept for a habitat is key to the success of such a mission. In that regard, the Kahn's concept seems very interesting. I would like to see some projects based on the lava tubes and caves that are likely to be found on Mars because, actually it is the best protection you can have against the high level of radiation on the surface of the planet. But, I don't think we will have one day a real colony on Mars, because the environment is to extreme and the journey to go there is extremely hazardous : it takes 7 to 9 months to reach the Martian orbit ; anything can happen and it will be a death sentence because you're far away from home ! Certainly, you will have exploration missions but I'm not sure 1 million people will live there as Elon Musk says. We're the product of billions of years of evolution based on planet Earth and we are entirely fit for that planet and nowhere else

[@DistinctiveBlend]

In a perfect world Elon would already be living on Mars as he plays out his Nero fantasies.

[@oagilenamoshe1831]

I literally just stumbled onto this channel and was instantly hooked... LOVE IT

[@tomaszek919]

I love the way you talk about things beyond architecture using it

[@thekidyn]

a very informative and realistic take on living on mars! awesome video Dami (and kudos to the team of course)

[@thatsamyouknow]

I feel like in a way, being able to see down corridors and into the neighbouring pods is only going to take away that element of surprise more. But when you walk up stairs you have no idea what you're going to see, and that alone makes it exciting. The only way I think the horizontal layout would work is if the various pods are separated more with a longer stretch of corridor between each pod; where the corridors can have different forms or different interiors, and if you are no longer able to see into the next pod. I think that journey of uncertainty between those points is what will create those tiny pockets of excitement, which will make life just a bit more bearable for the crew.

[@AntiAntagonist]

Calhoun's rat cities had some conceptual problems, which Calhoun had specifically tried to nudge the experiment towards. Down the Rabbit Hole has a good video about it (The Mouse Utopia Experiments). Probably still true that a lot of personalities wouldn't be able to handle such tight living quarters for months.

[@david_brown88]

Fascinating perspective on our future, and very interesting consideration of how habitat design impacts residents psychologically. I think I want to print one of those huts as my next home! BTW I acquired chicken leg syndrome without ever going to space...it's a byproduct of growing up as a nerd :) Thanks for another amazing video Dami!

[@DamiLeeArch]

Bahaha. Btw this wasn’t the “joke” part I was telling you about. That part was funnier but got cut! 🥲

[@kerwinbrown4180]

Some of those invisible dimensions don't take into account the human ability to adapt. Immigrants always have to adapt to some extent.

[@anthonyrichards9512]

I agree with the vertical layout. Although gravity is much lower on Mars, I still believe walking up and down stairs would provide a decent amount of workout. Plus, like Dami said, the different hidden sections will provide a certain amount of surprise, which would be awesome. And having a garden on the bottom floor would be soul gratifying. Thanks for sharing... I definitely cracked up at the end!!

[@seatheparade]

This was so fascinating, thank you for making it! I've always wondered how the psychological aspect is considered in building on mars or any potential habitable planet so this was perf

[@DTHRocket]

Fantastic video! Aerospace engineer here-I love seeing things in my field from another perspective.

[@PunchBuggyDreams]

Wow!! You have my utmost respect sir.

[@greghight954]

Nice video! I think most people do not understand that Marian atmosphere is almost as hostile as the moon and will need the same level of engineered structures and suits. It will be pure hell for many generations of inhabitants.

[@MrKeueR]

This subject fascinates me, I am more than happy to see it treated by you because I really appreciate your videos ! 🤩 They are always really well made and interesting 👍🏼 Thank you for all the work you do for us 😘

[@BadccVoid]

The production of this video is incredible! Great work :) very fun to watch and well researched

[@sharadavinge7408]

I got so excited when you mentioned Matamata, like omg someone else knows it exists it's not a dream I had once 😭

[@benjamintindall3347]

I absolutely loved this video and would love to see more on this! Perhaps a Venus sky habitat next!?

[@martinsoppa]

WOW.... Big thumbs up for this episode! You both are a great team and your videos are awesome! Amazing Sci-fi architecture video :D

[@sergiocolmenares9482]

I have watched many videos and read articles articles about the exploration of Mars, and I find very interesting how your video approached The Human Experience as a key component of the human experience. Great video

[@zaphodbeeblebrox3101]

I love these people. They live in their own little happy, joy, joy bubble. The doomsday clock is at 90 seconds from midnight and she's talking about a nice bright start trek future.

[@buildwithness]

The analysis, the production quality...Everything is just so good! Love it!

[@RunTheTape]

Inspiring for me as I'm looking to not only envision the pioneers' life on Mars but create 3D models of those settlements, as concept art.

[@jamesatkins7592]

I feel like this could be a mini-series culminating in a unique design

[@amrheminott]

Video quality and production value has improved dramatically. Nice animations at the start and throughout!

[@irinacd2537]

excellent video and with a lot of humour too! i think another good example of a very isolated living environment on earth would've been research stations in antarctica - similarly to mars, you can't just go out without equipment (you'll freeze), you spend a LOT of time with the same people, communication to the outside is hard and you can only go home during specific windows of time.

[@gabriellawrence6598]

Great as always. Those habitations definately need to take aesthetics and pleasantries into account, since we need that to thrive and would need even more in those harsh Martian deserts. By the way, Futurama comes to mind, they did affect the Martian amosphere to be breathable and to have the same gravity as Earth.

[@thomasratliff9278]

A wonderful presentation. Dami, your communication skills are off the charts. Thank you, for sharing this knowledge with your skills.

[@98of99]

The movie Silent Running is an excellent depiction of such an isolating environment as what early Mars colonies would be like.

[@aureliusmcnaughton6133]

First-timer here and I am blown away! As a technical communicator you are instantly a new member of my top five! I checked out a couple previous videos and obviously your production/content value is skyrocketing, but trust me your personality and style of delivery is always going to be the star of the show by orders of magnitude. Look me up if you ever want help with promotional writing, I'm somewhat of a rockstar communicator myself and l'd happily donate my time 🙂

[@clusterstage]

You are an amazing host. Can you imagine if we can AI prompt DreamStudio to CementPrint cities on Mars?

[@CUBETechie]

I think Mars settlements would be as simple as possible maybe something like brutalist architecture

[@clusterstage]

@@CUBETechie i don't know if that was sarcasm but I agree

[@ByronAgain]

Interesting that you cite Hall. Early in my studies in Sociology, Hall loomed large on the landscape, but it feels as though his work has been somewhat overlooked in the last decade or so. Thanks for that.

[@oldworldshopworks]

I'd like to hear your thoughts on Venus. There are lots of ideas. Floating cities on Venus are actually a bit more realistic. It would make a great video.

[@garethde-witt6433]

Not possible too hot and would more than likely corrode

[@erikm8372]

Above the hot clouds - in a cooler range of the atmosphere. Like Bespin lol. Question is, how is it anchored, or what if there was a catastrophic collapse? If you don't die in the crash you'll be cooked instantly at least on the ground haha

[@oldworldshopworks]

@Gareth de-Witt no. At the ideal altitude, it works. Russian scientists, had this planned out, years ago. It's worth looking into.

[@oldworldshopworks]

@Erik M not anchored. Mobil. The original idea, was to be mobile. In order to set a day night schedule.

[@garethde-witt6433]

@@oldworldshopworks I don’t think it could be sustainable though

[@gendygoblin8391]

I think the best way a common person can gauge what it would be like on a colony is to have some sort of office job or one with a main building and just live there. If you want to go outside you have to put on a scuba suit with a full winter outfit. People already hate work and the environment at times so making work and home the same place would be infuriating. The pandemic really did show that.

[@LeoSpaceman69]

I absolutely love your videos! I have a similar interest in architectural visions and ofc sci-fi , but you bring in your actual expertise to make it make sense

[@Ignisan_66]

Just send basement dwelling gamers and Redditors there with high-end PCs and consoles and a giant library of games. They would thrive there.

[@ml.2770]

They wouldn't even know they were on Mars.

[@batatavoadora1895]

But they wouldn't fck to increase population lol

[@GivzzProductions]

Dami x Elon collab when?

[@martinsuigabangmouri7451]

Even me I'm asking myself the same question

[@DamiLeeArch]

😂 hook it uppp

[@curtis906]

You won't need windows on the buildings, as it's not too exciting to see outside. You can place large screens on walls, which will display the outside for you to see. That makes it safer for those living within and also able to change what you're looking at will be helpful.

[@costafilh0]

So we are all rats living in big cities. Got it.
