Thanks for watching!

the explanation of feeling “yelled at” by most internet content is so funny. i want you to know i’m very appreciative being able to crochet along to a video for once while being not at all yelled at

[@Fiveash-Art]

It's because the internet is dead and why it mirrors the 'content' forced on people through television. KZbin especially has become a giant wasteland after the purge starting around 2016. It actually baffles me when real stuff breaks through. It's good there's still an audience for it.

[@swayzerawlings8703]

You hit the nail on the head when discussing Brutalism and sexuality. The idea, even, of a brutalist building being… “erected”… and the behaviors surrounding what it must be like to design and construct these buildings…there’s something so sobering yet subliminal. Same goes for Boullée and the Cenotaph of Isaac Newton…there’s definitely a yearning and mourning quality to it.

[@swayzerawlings8703]

That being said my fav will always be the late I.M. Pei’s Dallas City Hall

[@juan-gk1pd]

So much pseudo intellectualism in here

[@boredboard8508]

I love brutalist architecture because it feels post and pre-human but also not natural in the same way an untouched forest is. Like it's from a society from forever ago but also the future but also a cave. I could talk about this forever and nobody gets it.

[@mothercain]

!!!!! i always rant and rave on roadtrips about how all the overpasses feel like they were left by some predated intelligent society and we’ve just repurposed them as roadways. feels very prometheus. brutalism feels so antithetical to human nature and comfort so of course it feels alien. i’m so in love with it.

If not that then it could be a sensory issue, she's autistic and some autistic people don't like the feeling of touching certain things.

[@Tkanka00]

47:02 Your words perfectly describes my attitude towards brutalism. Unplastered brick walls, exposed ceiling beams and utility ducts make the building look like a large organism. I'm from Eastern Europe and im so glad that i can experience this feeling for daily. The monumentality of those building literally feels like higher power.

[@bgjoje3745]

I'm from Bulgaria and there are concrete soviet buildings almost everywhere. Most of them are living buildings, which most people find ugly, but since i was a kid, i have adored them. When i stare at them, I always try to imagine who lives in a certain window, what does their kitchen counter look like, and their carpets, I also wonder if they like fruits or what kinds of games they like playing as a kid. I feel so lucky to live right next to a forest with a masive bunker, the entrances of which are literally just concrete block the size of a car. There are also random cement platforms and a lot of abandoned constructions all around the city. I loved going in the older ones because they have less guards. I have a vivid childhood memory of an abandoned school. It was just in a grass field right next to an artificial spruce forest(there is a coal mine right next to Pernik, and they planted spruce trees on some of the overburden there around 1960-1970). Standing in it and looking at the peeled wall paint, old rusty toilets, and empty rooms feels like I'm looking something so forgotten and beyond abandoned. I mostly enjoy the juxtapositioning of the concrete, broken windows, syringes, and the peace of the green forest and a river. They both give me the same calmness and warmth, but in a different way. I looooveee how grey everything looks when it rains, i have almost felt at the most peace while it's gloomy and and wet and standing on the kitchen window on the 6th floor and admiring such a beautiful view of people walking in hurry and how the buildings turn slightly darker due to the rain. My favorite activity is getting very high and going to a random place in the center of Sofia so I can play pretend a person walking around, meanwhile having no idea where i am, but it feels comforting to see little shops, wall art, abandoned houses, restaurants all squished in between soviet apartment buildings

There's something so ...enlightening about these videos in the strangest way , hearing you talk about what you're passionate about inspired me to take a step back and look at what inspires me . Really cool stuff , thank you Hayden

[@dullblad3]

35:15 that whisper was so tingly omg

[@vacilllator]

the sheer impact you have had on me is immeasurable. Not just as a person, but as a gateway for me. What you present to the internet and people, these introductions to unique and foreign concepts to a rather uniform majority is nothing less than extraordinary. You have changed my outlook on the world as a whole and in a way raised and grown this whole part of me that I didn’t know was there. An affinity for things that have been rendered as old and forgotten, as well as different pieces of media etc. I hope I get to come to one of your concerts some day to see (and try not to cry in front of but definitely fail) this person I have almost infinite respect and admiration for. You have truly inspired me without even knowing me, I love you Hayden.

[@a.luvlyx]

literally everything you said is exactly how i feel about her. she's truly a unique. i've found intrest in things that i never thought i'd be interested in. her mind is truly out of this world. i admire & adore her so entirely. she doesn't even know. & i can't wait to experience one of her concerts too. i've seen videos of her performing & i swear, her performances always feel so heavenly.. & i get that feeling just by WATCHING videos so imagine it irl..

[@santileonsteinberg1441]

Her voice is amazing, I feel like you can listen to her talk for hours and hours about literally every topic and not get bored. So soothing and calm

[@ninap01840]

The brutalist architecture book is so interesting, and I've never thought about that design in the sense of eroticism but it's so true. I think another part of it is how blatant and transparent (oddly enough given it's literal concrete opacity) it is in its presence. It's not pretending to be something it isn't, and it doesn't apologize for itself or give what some may deem excessive explanation (or rather, cushioning? justification? it isn't adorned for the sake of acceptance or awe). It simply ~*is*~ which is so fitting in conjunction with the helplessness you talked about. It's not asking or hoping that you accept it, it forces you to and doesn't seemingly care. I think domineering was a perfect description.

[@bexiexz]

I love this thought so so much

[@ltwig476]

The "domineering" kind of reminds me of the ancient penis worshipers. They built giant statues of hard penises a ways outside of the commune and do their ritual walks to the giant penis and stand and pray in front of it.

[@reporeport]

I just wanted to thank you for Preacher's Daughter. Its the first thing that has really inspired my own song writing in probably 10 years or so. Thank you so much. A gift

[@koikun]

such a soothing voice, it makes listening so much easier.

[@idkwhatimdoing9233]

why is nobody commenting about her thoughts on getting lost? It's so relatable in all ways and so well described and thought out. The thought of being so far away from society, in peace in a house surrounded by trees is soooooooo attractive. Society scares me sometimes so I don't judge her at all😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@snail6816]

the asmr is immaculate

[@sndrnck]

my attention span is usually embarrassingly short, but i could watch your videos for HOURS. I find your voice soooo soothing and comforting, and i love your taste in art. your room is really pretty, too!!!

[@babyslemonade]

I used to visit a brutalist library near me and it was my favourite in the city until it was knocked down (RIP). It was dark and clunky and outdated and expensive to run, but that also made it comforting because it was almost human, it was falling apart just like a person does. It was not all fun clean lines and bright colours, it didn’t hide from anything. It was subject to time yet felt like an infallible giant. It gave a very wabi sabi vibe which is weird because the materials were anything but natural. Looooved the architecture commentary, everyone say thank you Hayden 💜

[@bz-tm5xv]

i love your eloquent way of speaking so much!!! you articulate everything so beautifully. can’t wait for future book tour videos

[@MacyEbright]

I’m from Idaho, and I really feel like you’d enjoy learning about the Zone of Death. It’s ~50 miles in the Idaho portion of yellowstone, and there’s a legal loophole where no crime is “prosecutable”. If you want to hide, that’s the place. Reminded me of what you were saying in the beginning of the video- places in America you could go and be the furthest from others.

[@magnusmadsen3813]

As someone who has always disliked brutalist architecture, you really opened my eyes to the power and attractionality(?) that these buildings exude. And I totally get the feeling of going somewhere to disappear from known society, getting lost in a labyrinth or a forest. I always got this feeling as a child when the sun had set in the countryside. The vast darkness covering the fields, meadows and forests, knowing that no human activity is happening in this space until the sun rises is exhilarating to me. Its thalassophobic almost. Thinking of all the empty spaces that exist on earth, where no human consciousness exists. In deep contrast to the consciousness-heavy cities and settlements. Im rambling lmao - thank you for another brilliant video Hayden

[@flaviadn]

As an Italian, listening to you reading with such a beautiful soft voice a bit of Dante's Inferno is wonderful. Thank you for this very nice video, it's super interesting and very cozy and calming. Love you Hayden ⭐

[@marshallmanticore]

'not to sound like a child but i do enjoy a picture book', i need this embroidered on a throw pillow!

[@fiaistired]

I very much agree with your take about brutalist architecture. I’m from and I live in a post soviet country so I get to see a lot of beautiful brutalist buildings whenever I go out in the city. Most larger cities here have some brutalist building that one can stare longingly at. Unfortunately with the rise of commercialism it’s more often than not that within the view of the building of monument there will be some sort of add which ruins the experience ever so slightly, unless you manage to find a spot in which the ugly add might be obscured (which isn’t always possible). I’d add for people who might not have a lot of contact with brutalist buildings that some of them (the ones with giant slabs of concrete, the modernist ones specifically designed to be unique and imposing) give you the same feeling you might get if you’ve just arrived to a mountainous region and are surrounded by overwhelming grandeur. The anxious small but also overwhelming and intense feeling of vastness or monumentality. I love how Hayden described them feeling as if you’re seized by this incredible power you can’t control. Sort of like being held there by the hand of a giant or God and being made to gaze. Also i love the take that brutalist churches with their inherent implication of God lose that imposing godly touch out of their structures. The warmth of familiarity present within those churches really does strip away the coldness and alienness. It’s such an interesting take that I never really gave that much thought to. I have felt that those churches made me feel different than the other brutalist buildings but I didn’t give much thought as to why. also! btw! Russia is half in Europe and half in Asia. A lot of the bigger more well known cities are on the European side of Russia - like Moscow, St. Petersburg - but Russia is HUGE and there is plenty to see on both sides.

[@r1l3__]

mm i agree on the brutalist churches part its almost as if it makes the building feel just plain as if it was not created with intention but out of neccessity as a place of function, whereas even when not intentional a lot of brutalist architecture feels dignified in its coldness and simplicity

[@koikun]

your art book tours are always so calm and interesting. I'm definitely checking a few of them out later. thank you for sharing, mother.

[@Jannnabbss]

16:56 I love how you explain this because I feel the exact same way, Im such an introvert and I never thought of it this way, I love watching Ethel because she gives me so many new perspectives on life It’s amazing and her music saved me in such a way that I can’t even bring it into words.

[@tameriaen]

A little while back, there was a thematic explosion of "Art of Atrophy" photography books that were about the industrialized corpses left behind. My two personal favorites were Abandoned America (2014) and Manufactured Landscapes (2003). You might also dig Soviet Ghosts (2014) as it gels with crumbling megastructures. Regardless, thank you for sharing, and convincing me that it was finally time to grab my own copy of the Atlas of Brutalist Architecture.

[@kaylaj4417]

i relate so much to wanting to be lost and away from the world, like how you described attic bedrooms. i’ve found this feeling in climbing trees, especially when the leaves are so thick it completely blocks everything out, even sound. it’s like a cocoon, like nobody can get to this magical place except for me. it feels safe and isolated and warm and secure. it’s so interesting you liken that sensation to getting lost within city walls, because i’ve also found a similar feeling in tiny new york city apartment buildings, especially during rain storms. like i’m in this tiny cluttered shoebox of a room, inside an endless tower that touches the sky and is buried in the earth, all within a maze flooded with everything you could imagine. feels like purity. thank you for this beautiful video :)

Thank you for another fantastic art book tour. The Atlas of Brutalist Architecture and the Etienne-Louis Boullée book are very close to my heart, as I am very passionate about architecture. I am currently studying architecture at University, so it was great to see your perspective on these books. I was introduced to Boullée in my first semester during the foundation history classes and so I am happy that I've been able to discover him again through you. I have sought to find my own readings on Boullée and other notable architects during his time over the years and I'd be more than happy to send these over to you via a platform of your choosing!

not an art book but i’m in currently reading the lord of the rings for the first time after growing up with the movie. i haven’t been much of a reader in recent years but it’s been lighting a fire in my body to explore more fantasy, world building books, and in a way it’s helped me to appreciate the art books i do have (that i haven’t read before) because i feel that they provide a very… atmospheric experience, wether it be through art (like the book of andrew wyeth art in your previous video) or architecture ( like atlas of brutalist architecture). In a way they’re fantasy to me and the environment in the pages brings me to a world of different feelings. i love seeing your collection and getting inspiration for books to add to my list!

[@supremeleaderdrpepper]

the trains and flashing lights just add a little something to the atmosphere that makes this video so much more fascinating. it seems like they appear more when you increase the intensity of your language and the way you express certain thoughts. maybe the added elements just make everything seem more intense, but i just think they are so perfectly timed, specifically when you began talking about brutalist architecture. the train noises really flared up, and it just drew my attention to your words and added another layer of emotion to them.

[@joyhaave6151]

Thankful for this visual ASMR video on a windy, overcast day indoors! Short thoughts on the subjects covered...interest piqued w/ Boulee's illustrations, esp. the Day/Night structure; Brutalist buildings seem so, well, brute that they have their own gravitational pull; my sister and I reveled in the smell of leaded gas when we were little kids on road trips back in the late 70's; Texaco book reminded me of Ed Ruscha's Standard Oil Stations. Lovely 90 minutes of insight with Hayden's soft voice and wide-ranging vocabulary.

[@livswift]

Your so right about the "yelling videos" I was so relaxed and soothed listening to you talk in a soft voice. I don't like information being yelled at me. Your voice is SOOO relaxing and I could listen to you talk about anything!!!!! 🤍🖤
