      She does'nt seem to get the notion of art and transcendance in architecture. Of course , she ends on some arbitrary ideological stance , she's an architect and she does'nt want things to be built. She's free to poop in nature if she wants to give back, but nothing is making her, and nothing will stop humanity from seeking transcendance through art , the sacred, and the building principle.

    Re: The Watercube building using plastic: if you want to use (discarded) plastic, a building's structure would be one of the best paces to use it, as it will be in use for many decades. As opposed to, say, clothes using recycled plastic, which will be used for several years, best case scenario.

    The work of the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava can be very instructive with his work largely comprised of organic skeletal shapes. He is world famous for his projects per the design community but hated by many city governments because his buildings are ALWAYS requiring expensive maintenance. He has been and is being sued over this. I saw for myself a worker rebuilding a small maintenance access panel. It was about a foot long and a half a foot tall and covered in hand inlaid ceramic tile, each uniquely cut. He was doing the work crudely because he wasn't a tile worker, just a "plant facilities" worker of some kind. He looked unhappy, the panel was looking bad, and I realized he was spending an entire day of work to accomplish this. Then I looked up and the massive looming structure of his Opera House in Valencia, Spain, towered above us. It made the worker's task seem infinitely tiny and massively hopeless at the same time.

      This reminds me of a thought i had when watching this video. That biomimetic architecture doesn’t really think beyond the material and structures, when it also should consider the form and reforming aspect. The silkworm is close but not quite there yet i think, cause they still need a giant robotic loom to tell the larvae which part should be filled. Just like Santiago Calatrava works, i think repairing any of this structures as a normal human would be nightmare.
      I feel like the ideal biomimetic architecture is just going to be a giant dissipative structure that houses human. One that assimilate, grow/duplicate, and “die”. Doesn’t need to be alive either, just need to have all that traits (easier said than done lol). We won’t be seeing this in near future nevertheless...

    I’m always blown away by your videos. You’re even super slick with your advertising. It’s kind of brilliant because the advertising fits within the video, it doesn’t jar you out but keeps with the mood you’ve created, and most importantly, continues narratively with your script.
    My point is, your videos are brilliant top to bottom. You are masterful at creating a mood, and backing it up with script, music, and the visual, while presenting concepts in a poetic, flowing river of knowledge, sights, and sounds. It’s a wonderful way to learn.

    This is one of the most interesting and riveting videos I have watched in a very long time. The subject matter is also relevant to courses I have taught that have introduced the basic ideas and concepts behind biomimicry to college students as part of English language courses. The articles I use are to be found in the textbooks and videos that I use. The subject is an endlessly fascinating one and, Dami, you have stretched my imagination to quite some degree. Thank you for this. In the future, if I happen to teach any courses that include this subject I'll be sure to include this video in the list of additional reference material.

    Thank you Dami for another great content. Over a decade ago, I went to visit the ‘Sagrada Familla‘ and somehow thought it was no more than an ‘ architectural sculpture ‘ - a great one. I could not image such ‘ organic form ‘ is ‘ livable ‘ as I often think that human needs entering a space to feel balanced, stable and sense of safety, which is how ‘ traditional building ‘ has provided us … I would certainly be more open to this ‘ biomimicry ‘ concept especially if it brings new light for sustainability in building material, structure, etc. I am looking forward to seeing more of your new video in this topic. Thank you for sharing and keep on the quality work you presented.

  • @individualperson

    The opposite of stupidity is not cleverness, the opposite of stupidity is awareness. Human beings seem to be suffering from a kind of shifting baseline of awareness syndrome in which infrastructurally facilitated numbness leads to the progressive misaccessment of that very infrastructure and thus its varied reproduction in a reinforcing feedback loop of progessive stupification. Cleverness of conception and design just work to disguise an overall prosess of biopsychosocial, ecological and aesthetic degeneration which biologically mimics nothing so much as a malignant growth. It seems certain toxic memes have long ago damaged our inherent (biogenetic as opposed to biomimetic) dna, our ability to generate and recognize living environments capable of nourishing our whole selves and the earth. The problem is ultimately one of a sick culture reproducing itself and seems not to be sustainably treatable within the dicipline of architecture, notwithstanding the valiant if problematic efforts of people like Chiristopher Alexander. The biodegradable building idea you touched on near the end was a ray of hope in what otherwise seemed to me an architectural horror show for the most part.

    Thanks for this! There's a lot more uses for bio-mimicry then just mimicking nature in big buildings. Bio-mimicry has tons of potential - it could contribute to fields ranging from health to space exploration. And it's early days in the field, so I don't expect it to be as practical right now as methods that have been used for decades.

    That conclusion at the end is so poetically perfect, and it really encapsulates the whole sustainably drama that's been going on the past few years.
    "We've been taking and taking and taking, but one day, we'll have to give back". We are literally planetary parasites, but we don't want to accept that. Our way of life is actively detrimental to our world. I really hope that we'll be able to change our nature and be an active part of the system instead of a liability to it. I really hope we won't just devolve into galactic parasites that just hop from world to world, sucking out the resources of each planet and leaving their empty husks behind.

      You’re a human too, you’ve made mistakes too. You aren’t a great exception because everyone already agrees. Earth is going to get destroyed one day and when it is humans are the most likely to survive. Also if we finally “give back” you aren’t going to benefit from it and the fact you’re probably going to be dead just as most of us will be.
