Why This Megastructure was Never Built (Paper Architecture)

Somebody should definitely create that spherical building in Unreal engine as a VR space, would be amazing.

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

This video was mesmerizing. I'm a novelist, so I like knowing a little bit about a lot of things and I feel like I just got a free 1-hour lecture in 11 minutes. Thank you! As a creator, I know this took a lot of time, thought, hard work, and skilled delivery.

Even though Newton's Cenotaph may not be physically built, we could sure as hell build it in the virtual world and experience the space via VR.

I am software engineer but I really enjoy your videos it has a lot of depth as well as simplicity, it gives different aspect to seeing things which I normally don't see. Keep up the good work.

Boullee's Cenotaph is exactly what got me interested in architecture designed for mourning, grieving, or celebrating the lives of those who have died! I wish it was built, somehow, I'd love to experience that.

I had architect bone in me since i was a child. By consequence of life i did not pursue this passion of mine later on and it is to this day my deepest regret. Hearing you talk about architecture is like asmr for me. Also you have the ability to make things interesting, by always choosing this awesome wording and little stories. You would make excelent teacher of architecture (if you are not already :D ). I am so glad i stumbled upon your chanel. I have already seen couple of your videos and i enjoyed them all.

Wow, what a captivating video you made here. Never really been interested in architecture, but I'm glad the algorithm recommended your channel. I'll definitely be paying more attention to how buildings make me feel from now on. Got literal chills seeing that Cenotaph, and that's just from a drawing on a screen 😅

Megastructures look absolutely majestic. Seems like it really took a whole lot of immense planning to make everything work in the end. May God bless you and everyone else around here.

Dami sos una genia! El tiempo que requiere hacer un vídeo como este es inimaginable y no solo eso si no que también lees y respondes los comentarios. Te deseo lo mejor y gracias por todo tu trabajo, lo aprecio mucho.

As a concept artist, we have to design a lot of things from a rock to an alien life form with their whole ecosystems at times. We're dabble into a lot of professions and often times we use a lot of architecture shape language to intergrade into our works. So these videos really helps!

Eu sou estudante de psicologia e a arquitetura sempre foi algo que admirei, seu canal apareceu pra mim do nada e foi uma das melhores descobertas desse mês que pude ter. Obrigado pelos videos e a maneira que você apresenta tudo (com paixão e simplicidade), isso é algo que me cativa demais!!!

Cool! I've never been interested in architecture but growing up and living in the American South I see a lot of old buildings next to new buildings and I have always been curious about why the old buildings were built the way they were

I'm a lawyer. I know nothing about architecture but I absolutely love your videos. So entertaining and you seem to be really nice.

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! (Can also vouch for Paperlike, if you can't afford a Cintiq, and you don't like the slippiness of a naked iPad screen, it's a really neat product.)

Dami, you're a compelling presenter, if not a performance artist, in the way your videos are composed, visually and aurally. Although I've been a part of the construction/engineering world for more than 40 years, and the large-sacle industrial plant/automation world, I've always been drawn to architecture. I thank you for rekindling that interest in me. I may yet build that Geodesic dome I've dreamt of for the last 4 decades.

The Great Ape long term field studies by Jane Goodall, Diane Fossey and Birute Galdikas are some of the most amazing and informative studies ever done. The sheer courage of these women was astounding.

I love your videos, it makes me consider a career change into architecture, but I also really enjoy just learning about higher level concepts and philosophies of it. I’m currently a software engineer and use these videos to help look at web / software from a different perspective.

Your channel has become my favourite as of late. The story telling and structure in your videos is exceptional! Artful and informative. I’m captivated!!

This episode was my first introduction to your channel, I only follow the B1M for learning about engineering and architecture but I was pleasantly surprised with your explanation and presenting. You've got a new subscriber and I look forward to catching up on your previous content 😊
