Excuse my profanity but your videos are fucking amazing. Everything from the production quality to the video ideas and your creative passion you so eloquently translate to these videos are a treat especially to someone like myself who is able to sit down and relax to your videos, whilst also learning things that are completely out of the field from what I’m studying myself. Thank your for this channel, a gift to us all🙏🙏

[@Cythan]

I would but swear words in comments can negatively effect them in getting videos age restricted or demonitized (hasn't happened to this video yet but it's a thing)

[@samuelhatman8995]

At 70 with Architect's ambitions at age 17, I find your work, any format you are interested in providing, to be several orders of magnitude above the usual offerings on KZbin. I hope we do not lose you to more worthy pursuits. Thank you. In a word? Inspiring! And yes, I loved this format. I definitely will see every one you can produce, or on Nebula, or Curiosity Stream, or Skill Share, or... yes, Master Class.

[@johncliffalvarez6513]

This is the most original video I have seen on architecture, ever. Love the way you approach your love on the subject while also incorporating other skills and passions. As an illustrator who mostly likes drawing characters, this makes me want to dabble in architecture myself. Well played.

[@vmpgsc]

I love these kinds of videos. It would have been very cool to tie in a historical perspective (e.g. Roman concrete, why is it still around) as well as a longer time horizon to show how much time it would take for a modern building to literally become a landscape feature.

[@Kate-yr6bg]

Agreed!

[@mrmartinezvida6987]

The more I learn about architecture the more I think about this! the sad part is that without humans, the world would heal. Animals and plants would take over. We are just temporary when it comes to the landscape.

[@L.I.T.H.I.U.M]

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.

[@blindedbliss]

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.

[@GeorgMayer]

I always was interested in buildings and architecture, but I never took the time to learn more about it. Your channel is a fantastic way to better understand what I saw and experienced so far. But this video is a completely different thing - watching you doing the artwork, like really seeing every step of it, is just a work of art by itself and provides an insight that is both helpful and just beautiful to watch. Thank you!

[@DamiLeeArch]

Thank you very much!

[@VRCommy]

Also, it literally makes me feel more sane, to just hear well thought out concepts clearly communicated with both appropriate visuals and correctly chosen words that actually mean what is required to explain the concept. It’s sad that this is rare these days, but my brain loves the ease of absorbing information in this way, so thanks 😊

[@patgarci]

I gotta say I've been binge watching your videos! Your discussions of space and architecture reinvigorated my love of it that I haven't felt since I studied design at SFU in Vancouver! This video in particular reminds me a lot of some parts of Japan where there are quite a bit of abandon buildings or towns. I think places like that are called Haikyo and the most famous one was Gunkanjima or Hashima island. But yea love your vids keep up the good work!!!! 😀

[@TheHashCrackingSlasher]

I love the thought process and overall production quality of this video. It really feels like I'm just watching a documentary on what life would be like if we did all just disappear one day, and I love that concept, I think it would be amazing to actually explore more and I wish I could in more ways like this gorgeous video! Thank you for making it and your entire channel is amazing

[@Jay-ho9io]

Truly enjoyed this, on a variety of levels: cinematography, subject matter, sound design. Please don't stop innovating and trying out new format concepts. I became interested in your channel through both the authenticity and fun of watching them, and the overlap between your architecture and my area of study (urban planning.) But this is more than just an architecture channel as you are more than just an architect and it shows. I like the other facets of perspective that get layered on to that. Thanks for everything you do here. 👍🏼

[@DamiLeeArch]

Thank you for the kind words 🙏

[@sakurafan771]

I like the concept(What would earth look like without us?) and you could turn this into a series. I also am taking note of how good your way of storytelling is and if you could consider, maybe you should write a story, could be a book or maybe a manga/comic like that of Blame by Tsutomu Nihei.

Hi Dami! It is rare that I would so easily watch and thoroughly enjoy architectural videos/ content during my leisure time. I have a limited selection that I would switch on and love from start to finish, your videos do exactly that for me! I often recommend your channels to my colleagues and people that have a similar outlook as you. Absolutely love your approach in being an architect in our current time.

[@joaovictordecastroalves7948]

I love the game called 'The Last Of Us'. In addition to the zombies and the entire apocalypse plot, the beauty of the game is also found in the nature that occupies the entire space. It's a good reference. Soon there will be a series about the game and I hope they represent the scenario well.

Absolutely loved the video! I love this topic (and as at least a few others have said) enjoyed the series "Life without people" for the same reason. The Robarts Library is gorgeous, but I am a fan of the look of Brutalist buildings. The images you created really have me curious about doing electronic art / graphic design. Fantastic job and thank you for the wonderful video!

[@patrikhjorth3291]

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.

[@sindre.]

I really liked this format. You always provide incredible quality and well thought out, heavily researched topics. The sketch work was really cool and helped with the immersive feel of the narrative. Excited for your future videos! PS: Congratulations on the new workplace and business model!

[@costafilh0]

This made me remember a TV series on the matter. It was funny all the technicians taking the opportunity to justify their jobs saying without maintenance almost all human made structures would collapse given enough time.

[@dmang0]

Love your videos. What I do miss is the front shot of you explaining things to us. The side shot is ok but the front perspective is just awesome. Just my humble preference

[@pixelart0124]

I love the idea of this video, talking about this awesome-looking building. I love the idea of discussing what happens to buildings from an architect's perspective after we're all gone. I love the way the editing is paced with the fast movements while sketching with that epic music. I love it all. Although the way they're all put together in this video feels off to me. 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. This would get us into how we maintain it for example. I hope this feedback made sense! Thanks for the video!

[@christophermoody1448]

There was a show, some time ago called "Life After Humans" that attempted to answer this question you presented. It attempted to describe how the built environment as we know it regained by nature, how animal species evolve and to a degree the planetary improvement of the environment. Your attempt to answer this question is definitely more intriguing. As usual, great 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.

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.

Exploring the relationship of all the things we build and how they will interact/affect the environment and other animals after we're gone (or other scenarios) is really interesting. Like the nuclear reactor situation in "The 100" series or architecture as we expand into space. Having visions of where we would like to go as a species (before we build more brutalist architecture) is probably a good idea ;) Great videos Dami!

[@SrikkanthG]

I'm not an architect and I don't have much interest in them but for some reason I find myself glued to some of your videos. This one tops the list not because of the design but the philosophical underpinnings in the video. 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.

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.

[@SwimmingInSeas]

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.

I always walked by that building on my way home after a overnight shift when I was a teenager, always one of my highlights of the walk. I freakin loved that building always got my imagination going to zone out and daydream the 45min walk home LOL

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.

loved this!! i'm not sure if it's up your alley or anything, but would you want to look at fan submissions of concepts like this? i mean, there's so many choices to make when representing a potential future (which animals, which plants, how far in the future, etc.). . . i think it would be cool to see how LOTS of people imagine their cities' most-hated buildings after humans are gone 🤔

Hey that's a really good idea. When you creat a building. Reverse it see what it will look like if it was abandoned it could give you a really good idea where light and shadows are and how things decay. Basically I wanna draw my home so it would look like a hanging garden if it was abandoned. Even the death of that building will look beautiful 😊 Even add indoor plants to help it to.
