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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

Hello! I’m so glad I discovered your channel. This was yet another informative and inspiring video…literally, projects meant to inspire, to provoke thought and reaction. My personal favorite Paper Architecture project is Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1956 Mile-High Tower, “The Illinois”. I love it not only for the sheer audacity of building something so tall, but for its unusual 5-faceted design and for multiple false “peaks” he incorporated to break up the lines as the tower tapered to the top. For a person that loves a good skyscraper, this one is the most beautiful and stunning design I’d ever seen. Keep up the great work!

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. :)

I remember, as a kid/teen back in the 1970's, they had these magazines/books, that were full of floor plans for houses. I was always fascinated by these because they were not cookie-cutter plans like the ones that are used in most housing developments of today! I remember I used to spend hours looking at these books and then I would draw my own ideas from what I learned from those books.

I'm prepared to make a small wager that most houses back in the 1970s were built in a cookie-cutter sort of way.

@@DavidCowie2022 I think it depends on what period of the 70's. There was a surge at some point in creativity and individualism in art and design, where it seemed that everyone went wild! I remember when everyone wanted 6" deep plush carpet with 6" of foam underneath! Lol! I still want that btw.

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.

Hey that's the downtown VPL! Used to go there a lot just to hang out as a teenager! What a cool and immediately recognizable form. Often see your shorts but this is the first time I've clicked on a video. What a pleasant surprise!

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.

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 think each and every designer has this "paper" design tucked away somewhere. It's a great exercise of one's design abilities and imagination. It's not necessarily meant to be made, as many of them lack the technology (or the technology won't be available for such a long time).
