We certainly hope to be that, glad you enjoy our content :)

[@teamkejis4594]

Totally second this opinion.

[@sectorgovernor]

My favourite thing from the 2021 Dune movie was the design(dresses, architecture etc). I just love it. It is really Lord of the Rings level worldbuilding and uniqueness.

[@ArchitectureOfThings]

Yeah it really is

[@augustday9483]

I love the cross-sections and blueprint graphics you've created here. The Caladan interiors are gorgeous, I think I could enjoy living in such a place quite a lot. I think it's interesting (and very appropriate) that the structures on Arrakis are built like pyramid/bunkers. The sloped surfaces help them survive the heavy weathering from sandstorms.

[@ArchitectureOfThings]

We’re glad you liked it :)

[@natsirtboy]

Floating lights are kind of standar in dune universe, light it's a byproduct of the mechanism that make things antigravitate, that's why are similar in dune and caladan, another little detail about Villeneuve commitment to the books

[@gearmic8786]

Also: These floating lights are called glowglobes.

[@tbotalpha8133]

In the movie they're depicted following people, or at least moving with them. But that shouldn't be possible without some kind of AI, right? But AI is banned in the Dune universe, so how are those lights moving with the humans around them?

[@gearmic8786]

@@tbotalpha8133 Interesting question for sure. I'm no engineer, but I don't think it's completely impossible to build something like that without any digital technology. You could have ultrasonic sensors or something like that to keep the glowglobe away from walls and some kind of sensor to keep a specific distance from the humans they are following. Maybe the people would need to carry some kind of remote so the glowglobe can track its distance from and the direction of the people it follows. I'm pretty sure these sensors exist in analog form, without any digital signals or computers required. Again, I'm no expert though. This would probably be an interesting engineering challenge ^^

[@natsirtboy]

@@tbotalpha8133 I didn't study for this test :( ... Somewhere in the extended dune saga explained how globe lights works, but you're right they follow people

[@FlameForgedSoul]

It depends on what you consider "AI", a Roomba is incapable of plotting your downfall (for now), but it can certainly be programmed to follow you around. Post Butlerian Jihad hysteria aside, anyone viewing that as a "thinking machine" is quite mistaken.@@tbotalpha8133

Are you a single person or a company because the quality of work doesn't indicate that you are a single person. Very nice

[@ArchitectureOfThings]

😅 we used to be a team but unfortunately… didn’t work out… obviously we haven’t posted much in a long time… but the hope is we’ll build another team soon

[@delireent.3960]

After seeing the movie, the first Time, I got into architecture, and I discover the "brutalism" I find it really similar to what we Saw in the movie, with the use of concrete and natural light. I'm totally into it. Thanks for yours vidéos ! I was waiting for someone to talk about architecture on this movie

[@ArchitectureOfThings]

We’re glad you liked it :)

[@lemonde3415]

As a person who has the rare experience of living in such a building and complex. I can say brutalism is definitely not something one would concider beautiful, but it has without a doubt some energy behind it. The lighting was made with a lot of consideration. But the architectural style is from my experience not really fit for the future (at least on earth).

[@Vulcanfaux]

I thought those floating lanterns were the glowglobes mentioned in the book, I know it has globe in the name but I was thinking it was just a stylistic change made for the movie. I mean I guess we will see in part 2 when it comes out. Ofcousre there is the possibility that glow globes comes in different styles. Like how the lights we use in out homes can differ vastly within a single home.

[@ld3354]

Wow, this was so fun to watch! I loved the intricate and thoughtful architectural designs in this movie, and your breakdowns just make me appreciate them all the more. Would love to see a similar video for Blade Runner 2049, specifically a breakdown of the Wallace Corp building.

[@ArchitectureOfThings]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah... Blade Runner 2049 is another great movie from Denis Villeneuve, we'd love to do a video on that too, there's a ton we can talk about

[@hermes620]

Such a great video. The drawings are wonderful and so helpful in understanding how the spaces work. Btw, another movie with interesting buildings is Lost Horizon from 1937.

[@ArchitectureOfThings]

We’re glad you found it useful, we’ll be sure to check out Lost Horizon… thanks for the suggestion

[@ingeneric]

Very interesting video! Can't wait to watch the second part of the movie, probably there's going to be even more architecture and design jewels.

[@ArchitectureOfThings]

Glad you liked it… and indeed the second part delivered

[@sandragrace4613]

Thanks for this great video. It answered my question about the bronze reliefs- if they had been brought by Atreides to Arrakis. But why would Atreides have a bronze relief of shi- halud above Paul's bed? Great video, thanks ❤❤

[@ArchitectureOfThings]

It’s just my opinion: Paul has a connection with this planet and it’s life… from the beginning he even knew their way… maybe that’s the reason

planet giedi prime is awesome

[@h4z4rd42]

The buildings of Arrakis were made of sandstone not concrete. It is intentional by its colour and texture. The drawings of the light fixtures are not even close. We made them...

[@ArchitectureOfThings]

Thanks for your insight on the materials… we try to be as accurate as possible but because we can’t reach the production team sometimes we get things wrong, did you really made the fixtures? We’d love to have them in our studio… is there somewhere we can get them?

[@alvinleong269]

Imagine living in a community like that on Mars in the future...

[@mimih23]

Arakeen had its version of windows or openings for light.

[@nlhpens]

I don't remember reading or seeing any explanation of who built the buildings in Arrakeen. The obvious assumption is the Harkonnens, but the architecture seems too sophisticated and artistically subtle for that clan of thugs. Any thoughts?

[@ArchitectureOfThings]

I mean you can say the Forms are designed in a way to withstand the climate... but that doesn't explain the art pieces, like the bronze reliefs on the walls, So yeah... I think they missed that

[@meldroc]

Are the structures on Arakkis concrete? Or are they made from slabs of laser-cut stone? Bear in mind that on Arrakis, water is so scarce that the Fremen zealously strive to preserve every drop. Can't use Earth-style Portland cement concrete, because that needs too much water.

[@ArchitectureOfThings]

That’s a great assessment, in the context of the movie your theory is more probable… thanks a lot for sharing it

[@EnochLight]

This is literally set tens of thousands of years into the future where interstellar space is traversed using a magic drug. I’m sure they devised other ways to create “cement” without having to use tons of water.

yo this is really great in depth analysis, that 3d model it stunning. what do you think, how much the ceiling height in caladan where paul training?

Interesting question... So let's say the height of the desks are 75-80cm then the ceiling height would be around 320-380cm (almost 4-4.5 times the height of the desks eye balling it of course) but because there's no columns in the room ceiling height might feels shorter

Brutalism is one of the most beautiful architecture styles ever created that was incorrectly used for so long and tainted in peoples eyes. I can't stand these ugly wavy trash looking modern buildings, its disgusting and an insult to beauty.

[@МаксимСоколов-д4я]

The interior design of the Dune 2021 film is absolutely boring. Whatever location, whatever planet: always some dark cave, with minimal furniture or decoration (which could have crafted by the summer interns), and then some over-bright shaded window inhibiting the view of the darker regions. This only remotely looks good on a HDR screen, and on a regular screen, it looks totally crappy. This is by for not remotely as classy as the 1984 Dune film.

[@JanusZudnik]

Nobody cares

[@ganchunk]

about you?

[@HeadsFullOfEyeballs]

I like the movie's architectural designs in a vacuum, but I find them inappropriate for the Dune universe. These people are unimaginably wealthy feudal lords in a vaguely Orientalist setting. They should be living in lavish, richly decorated spaces, not grey barren concrete hangars. It feels like Villeneuve just recycled the look of his Blade Runner movie (where it worked great). Same goes for the costumes and spaceships. Why are the Atreides' uniforms mottled and grungy before they even step out of the transport on Arrakis? Can the envoy of the Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe not afford to have his spaceship hosed down before he flies to an important appointment? Baron Harkonnen is greedy and venal and voracious, he should be surrounded by grotesque luxury, not sitting on a bare metal bench in an empty room.
