A minor lore correction. The events in Dune doesn’t take place ten thousand years into the future, it takes place ten thousand years after the Butlarian Jihad, when humanity revolted against thinking machines, which it self happens at least ten thousand years in the future from us. Therefore, the events in Dune takes place at least twenty thousand years in to the future.
I love the Islamic references & culture clothing in Dune
@@markhoulsby359jebus...no one asked.
😱 wow yep ok I didn't know that. thanks!
@@markhoulsby359You think people think Dune is real?
@@LuisPerez-5 Not generally, no. But I should be surprised to discover that nobody does. Hint: that's why I chose to employ square parentheses.
Keep up!
As an architect, environmentalists, and major Dune fan, I really appreciate your study on this. I look forward to diving into your channel!
As an architect, I look down on moron content providers who leverage the debris of their near-failed degree to make money.
@@rodders7744 it's actually good for them cuz architect make dog sh**t unless they work for a decent firm or work independently
@@rodders7744 I generally just look down on people like you.
Great video! I'm actually the artist who made that thumbnail image that you use for this video and also worked on the layout concept of Arrakeen city and some key building designs for the film. In the film, the Arrakeen city is mostly covered by buildings exteriors to block the sun exposure and sand so majority of activity is happening inside of those exterior structures and all connected via tunnels (You can see it in the scene where Idaho escape scene).
woah!! that's just.. wonderful and interesting. great job btw.
Never thought that I could find architecture so interesting and exciting until I found this channel. Thanks DamiLee!
Dune really was such a unique experience, it felt like a whole different universe in the most authentic way. The architecture is fascinating, love this part of Architecture RUclips
yeah unlike many fictional worlds, dune felt real to me, like an extremely plausible reality
Diff great story . Also feel like it’s one of those story they can actually do right with the technology we have now and not look a little retro clunky.
Archituber? Naw, isn’t clear enough.
Dune is actually a precursor for Star Wars and Star Trek, this could be why.
And not to mention, a precursor for pretty much all generic modern scifi
Dennis Villeneuve's vision for dune is astounding. It's safe to say he is his generation's sci-fi goat
dude took one look and nolan and said ''hold my spice''
Very very soft scifi
Denis Villeneuve: deep steady emotions and feelings, spiralling into a crescendo
Nolan: adrenaline infused and on edge, wam bam in your face
Two completely different styles. Nolan wouldn’t be good for Dune
@@bobbiusshadow6985 nolan also a goat
2049 is better than the original blade runner.
Deckard > Joe
Tears in rain > You look lonely
Buuut 2049 > original
(I want to clarify that that is the greater than symbol, deckard is better than Joe)
I am always fascinated by architecture, and I think we should appreciate those writers , animators, and artists who come up with these amazing architectural concepts.
This video is excellent! As an aside, the book called "The Dune Encyclopedia” is not officially canonical, but is filled with a prodigious amount of fascinating information. It reveals that the Fremen utilize highly durable tarpaulins, which they hang to protect certain rock faces -- and then they sandblast the unprotected surroundings or allow storms to erode them, ensuring the area behind the protection remains unaffected. The Encyclopedia also notes that in the polar regions, some Fremen cultivate plants that harbor insects secreting a varnish. This varnish is sold to other Fremen in various locations, who then apply it as a thick paste to preserve stone surfaces they wish to protect from erosion. Frank Herbert had verbally agreed with his friend, Willis MacNeally, that MacNeally would oversee compilation of The Dune Encyclopedia. Following this, Herbert planned to approve the Encyclopedia and compensate MacNeally with a substantial sum of money. Furthermore, most or all of MacNeally’s book was intended to become an official part of the Dune universe. Regrettably, before this could materialize, Frank Herbert passed away and his sons reneged on the agreement to pay MacNeally. The agreement was never formalized in writing, leaving MacNeally without legal recourse despite the book’s publication. It is a situation that I find absolutely outrageous.
The concept of the planet Vulcan (T'Khasi) was, at a minimum, influenced by the notion of the planet Arrakis. Of Diane Duane's Star Trek novels, "Spock's World," mentions Vulcan megastructures constructed by eliminating all negative volume, including Pelasht -- which is described as supermassive castle-like fortification carved out from an entire mountain. So far as I know, this concept doesn't have any exact real-life counterpart. But it did remind me of Petra, which I appreciate that you mentioned. The Vulcan megastructures also reminded me of Lalibela, the tunnels of Củ Chi, and the subterreanean fortifications at Mount Suribachi. The name of the mountain comes from its shape. In Japanese, the name means a pestle for grinding medicines.
I was always curious about the history of the encyclopedia, but afraid to look it up. I have a hard cover copy that's my most prized book by far.
@@SandTiger42 frank gave it his blessing so you can say its canon although it does not match the books exactly. also note his son brian abandoned it in the late sequels after franks death.
@@meesalikeuwell if Brian doesn't use it. Definitely more legitimate
I think the book mentions the use of lasguns to carve out the structures used by the Fremen. That would explain the rounded corners and rough surfaces depicted inside the Sietches
Was about to say it.
Didn't find your comment before adding the same. As a concrete user in construction she went to far with the whole green concrete and saying they wouldn't use water for it.
She doesn't know about water reducers.
Lastly, cintered stone would have been a way thing were built. They didn't have a lack of energy.
She does a great job on this. I think it's funny some people think she didn't read the books because she missed something that the commenter remembered, I'm sure she remembers thing that everyone remembering the lasers doesn't.
unfortunately the new movies arent true to the books..
As a Brazilian citzen I am really interested on the topic of "Brazilian Brutalism" mentioned in the video, I would be really happy to hear more on that topic in the channel.
Your federal capital, Brasília, no?
Yes, absotulety right @@JHimminy
I also would love to learn more about this
I came to see if anyone came here to talk about it
As a fan of Brutalism, I "segundo" this suggestion.
Sand isn’t biodegradable, it’s largely if not entirely inorganic
I found Dune's architecture super fascinating because of its brutalist influences. The dorm I live in on campus is designed by Louis Kahn so I'm surrounded by brutalist architecture. It's exceedingly cool.
What college do you go to?
@@pendragon0905 Bryn Mawr! It’s beautiful there with a blend of vastly different architecture.
Awesome! A reasonably popular youTuber by the name of Alex O’Connor has an interesting conversation with an iconographer named Jonathan Pageau. They talk about architecture, and brutalist architecture comes up. I found it fascinating.
Me too, but I think the movie's design made it difficult to really grasp the scale of the buildings, because they are so featureless, I would have liked for the palace to be a big brutalist concrete monolith, but the arakeen town to have more of an istanbul and morocco feel to it.
I am close to and visit the dunes in Florence often. It is known by the locals to be a trove of rare psilocybin mushrooms found on the Pacific coast. The most potent in the world, P Azurescens and other psilocybes grow in abundance. The Azurescens mushroom is so potent that it's no wonder it found itself inspiring a writer with such a captivating and detailed story. Thank you for sharing this video, an excellent watch.
Awesome! I pick cyans in the Willamette valley and the coast, but usually further up north. I need to visit Florence soon! Happy 🍄.
we aren't too far off from picking season for the psilocybes, happy hunting!@@JHimminy
im a noob, but i thought season just ended?
maybe its for different strains@@Drew-ix5ih
Florence? I’m assuming not Florence, Italy. Which Florence may I ask?
Oregon@@RabbiSchmuelGoldsteinTreeofLif
Reading Dune as a teenager is what got me interested in ecology and how to adapt to harsh environments!
That's cool! Are you familiar with Forestiere Underground Gardens in Fresno, California? It's a cool place with an amazing story, and it's a great example of adapting to extreme environments by building and growing food underground.
FYI it took Frank Herbert 19 publishers till one agreed to publish this amazing science fiction book
You nerd out on science fiction. You nerd out on science fact. You somehow manage to intertwine your video between the two... and keep it nerdy but entertaining. Sold! Thanks, I'll be looking for more. Very entertaining.
Architecture was very important in the books! Especially the interior architecture of room. Throne rooms have been designed to create optical illusions so that the person at the Thorne feels imposing, important, and huge in size and to make the person walking in feel small. In many scenes private rooms are also described as having walls with special angles so that the acoustics focus in one corner at the ceiling for example where someone can then listen in on conversations.
This is great.
On that note: the second book notes that the throne room of Paul does not just feel large, it _is_ ridiculously large. If I recall, something on the scale of a small city is the size of citadel itself, and a full keep would've fitted in this singular dome.
"I just love how the rest of the world thinks of Canada."
You were quoting Patrice Vermette, the CANADIAN production designer on Dune who is from Quebec.
Denis Villeneuve, the director, is also from Quebec.
So... it's not how the rest of the world thinks of Canada. It's how Canadians, specifically a couple of Quebecers, view Canada.
I never would have ever been exposed to the word quebecers if it wasn't for you. It's a twisty little word. Thank you. God bless Canada. God bless all the queue Becker's. Okay text to speech mangled that but my ego won't let me backtrack Quebecers be Quebecerin' dawg
TOKÉBEC ICITTE
They are so annoying when they insist on their differences. Thier passport says canadian. Period.
I thought it was "Quebeccoi"?
@@korosuke1788Ahh yes some casual Quebec bashing, how fun
In the books it mentions using a material called "plasteel" which was some sort of organic composite for construction. It could be cast like concrete yet also had tensile strength.
Also a lot of Fremen technology is following the idea of indigenous cultures adapting to their environment such as how the Inuit figured out to live in extreme arctic conditions.
I've figured it out, you don't make videos about sci-fi or architecture, you make videos about how we can incorporate science fiction into our actual lives
I think concrete was called plascrete in the books so it sounded like a modified or artificial concrete. Also, I think people in Chile use wind traps very effectively.
So do we think it's plastics, or something with plasma?
@@drekfletchIt’s plastic
@@drekfletch Plastic. Plasticity is a property of materials, not just one material. Plascrete in Dune is a version of cement that apparently has much more plastic properties, making it a very flexible (both literally and figuratively) building material.
It was called Plasteel. A hybridization of plastic and steel that is purely fictional but represents peak strength and flexibility.
In the Dune novels by Frank Herbert, plasteel is described as an extremely tough form of steel. It is stabilized through the integration of stravidium fibers into its crystal structure, which enhances its durability and ability to withstand repeated impacts, making it ideal for applications where resilience is crucial, like in the construction of doors which need to endure repeated blows . Moreover, plasteel is also portrayed as a composite material, comprised of organic polymer and carbon-iron alloys, which is utilized across various industries in the Known Universe of Dune due to its plasticity and macroscopic hardness .
@@AllEdSantiago Plasteel and plascrete were both mentioned.
Architecture, SciFi and Dami Lee. What an unexpected and delightful and unexpected mix. Thank you.
I find it entertaining that an architecture professional covers movies, we need more of this please and thank you for your efforts.
I'm running an RPG set in Arrakeen and this info has been EXTREMELY helpful in allowing me to visualize what daily living in the city feels like. Thank you so much!
love anything dune related. note: arrakis does have a lot of water. as you said, the fremen were concealing it for a long time, but also the life cycle of the worm absolutely needs water (even if it "kills" them), so it was just not easily accessible or visible even if it still existed in things like aquifers rather than rain. sand trout and baby makers being the key to the "water of life" & such (even if it is also poison)
The sandtrout locked the water deep below the surface as well and as the worms died off, that water was released allowing the planet to become vibrant with life as it was at the end of the 3rd book.
@@webby2275🤓Ugh, I bet she didn't even read the books! 😆
What do you mean by “even if it’s poison?” The water on arrakis is poisonous?
@@PiXie232 the "water of life" is poison & will kill the potential reverend mothers unless they transmute it
@@PiXie232 No, regular water is poisonous to sandworms, not people. The Water of Life is a toxic blue liquid (obtained by drowning a young sandworm). It’s used by Fremen in an important initiation ritual for Reverend Mothers.
Dennis Villeneuve's vision for Dune is just outstanding. Everything just aesthetically make sense
I found this episode delightful, partly because I who love Herbert’s Dune since my teens and also appreciate how until the 70’s most architecture of my home town (Caracas) was predicated on using the wind as the way to maintain the interiors cool
Even though both Herbert and Leguin were not adherents to strict science fiction rules a la Asimov, they both shone exploring of how the natural environmental forces shaped societies and our psychologies.
The ships are so big and the spice is so valuable that importing lakes of water is not out of the question.
The Dune universe has been part of my inner world since I was a teenager. Love hearing you connect the current real world architecture and function to how Herbert's universe adapted to such extreme climates. The last movie captured the feeling of those worlds so brilliantly!
On the sand-concrete problem, there are also ways to make waterless concrete using sulphur as a stand-in. It's not quite a 1:1 stand in for proper concrete but it could also be a viable option on a dry world like Arrakis.
So the whole place would smell of rotten eggs. That's nasty bro.
@@horatiohuffnagel7978nah it wouldn't actually
Yeah she's an architect you know how they get on their concepts of materials.😅
She does a great job communicating architecture, but this one shows her lack of concrete knowledge for sure.
Great popular culture mash up.
@@sparksmcgee6641 I'm actually an architect too, we have to be pretty clued up on our materials these days with all the regulations around sustainable acquisition and fireproofing, it's just that sulphur concrete is only really used in science experiments and not in actual construction.
Only reason I know about it is because I did a research paper back in Uni about construction on the Moon, which is where I found out about NASA's sulphur based "lunarcrete" experiments.
3:50 that assumes an axis tilt compatible to earth
Love this show. Just a couple of points. You mentioned that the book and movie are set in the year 10,191. That's correct but it's the year 10,191 AG (After Guild), which is actually set another 10,000 years beyond what we would consider the normal timeline. Therefore, the year from the Gregorian calendar is actually the year 20,191. The second point I'd like to make is that spice, yes, is a drug that extends life and expands consciousness but it does not fold space. What allows for Faster Than Light (FTL) in the Dune universe, is what they call the Holtzman Engine. That is what fold space and allows them to travel. The Guild Navigators use spice to see a clear path to whatever destination they want to go. Without it there would be around a 20% loss of ships which is, of course, an unacceptable loss rate.
It’s minds like yours that work to solve future issues/problems.
Well done video.
you are doing an amazing job!!!! every episode you do is so multi leveled and so connective to so many other aspects. you deliver more in a a few minutes than any documentary for the time frame you use!!! you are the future!!! ps. i am a 60 year old man saying this...lol
thank you!!! 🙏
@@DamiLeeArch You're also, apparently, psychic. I've recently been curious about the moka pot coffeemaker, so even the sponsor portion of the video led me somewhere interesting.
imagine using the word lol when one is 60 years old... lol
@@mgntstr old is designation of age, old in spirit never!!!! LOL!!!!!!
LOL Dude. Like not going to lie bruh.@@1962diamond
That's why I love your channel - so much nerding out in such wide subjects :D
I really enjoy the multiple excellent short vids you offer from one longer vid. It's fun to see the sections all together when i finally have time to watch the full.
Just a coment, the Dune novel it's not in the year 10.000, but in about the year 20.000. They say year 10.000th after the Guilda, when the humanity discovered how to fold space to long distant travels.
Um we know your right but dude that's like saying it's not the year 2024 but specifically the year 2024 common era.😅
So nice to see you talking about dune, we know I lot about the culture and people and politics of dune, but factors such as the architecture aren’t as fleshed out. So one thing that I loved about the movie is because it showed architecture on caladan, geidi prime and arrakis
Damilee you are so good at telling a story in a captivating way. Very enjoyable.
The architecture and technology in Dune is very fascinating.
I once read the part where the palm tree is being watered, the movie dialogue show it is sacred, whilst in the book, the city dwellers of arrakis, resent the tree, jealous on how it gets water but themselves. Show this franchise gotta be astounding to ghe mind
The palm trees and certain water use went all through the books as representations of sending messages to the governed.
I read the Dune series last year and was trying to explain to my friends how absolutely amazing it was and how it feel both futuristic and historic both familiar and alien and I think it’s crazy that it was written in like what 1958 into the 60s and is STILL able to enrapture audiences today. I love Dune and have no one to talk about it with and it’s so sad!
Dune is awesome, I bet you’ll find someone to talk about it to. A strategy for finding them is to wear a shirt about dune, or put a dune sticker on your laptop or car, advertise your interests in your daily life and you may find others who share them. Have a great day.
I wish I wasn't dyslectic (and maybe adhd) so I wouldn't feel so intimidated in reading such a huge-ass series. Maybe I can opt for the audiobook version though.
Herbert's that kind of writer. He did other stuff that wasn't Dune, and even there he had the ability to impress. I remember feeling much admiration for the man as an author when, in a short story, he managed to express the exasperation and low BS tolerance that I had seen in interactions with real judges that people outside the courts so often fail to capture. Different civilization, different legal traditions more-or-less, same outlook and mood. It was an unexpected delight.
@@KarlSnarksYou should try it in audio books!!! Believe me, you won't regret it
@@GRMNCVS Thanks for the advice :) With other audiobooks I've had a mixed but mostly positive experience, depends a lot on the voice actor.
Dune's architecture is absolute a style I'd love to reference if I ever build my own home or have an apartment designed. It's so sick
Ever heard of landships? A brutalist landship is essentially this.
Sure, if you like only being able to see the sky when you look out the window.
I learned a lot today thanks to this video!!! I love the wind traps integrated into the structure of buildings. Thank you for another great video!!! Love this channel.
I love your videos just enough science with the architecture side of the house and just enough science-fiction with the movie reviews. Very well done
Oh no, I'm starting to get used to watching high quality video production. Your video just so mesmerizing. Gonna be hard to enjoy youtube, since not many that has this kind of quality
1:13
The year 10 000 is not based on the AD calendar. It's 10 000 years since the navigator's guild has been established and took full control of space travel.
In the AD calendar (Our calendar) the story takes place closer to the year 26 000
😱 wow didn't know that. thanks!
@@DamiLeeArch You are welcome
The way you break things down in a teachable way is amazing! and we all thank you for it! Great Job, Girl!
This is such a fascinating video on so many levels and I wholeheartedly love the final message.
Dune always has been one of my favourites, nice to see your views on this
I'm a lifelong Dune fan and the architectural designer's perspective is one that I hadn't seen the series from, so thank you very much, it was fascinating!
I never expected to be so drawn in to an architecture channel, but I am really enjoying your content!
Dune is one of my favorite books and the recent movie is visually amazing. Your video was great!
This movie is amazing not because how they adapted the book, but because how they did the arquitecture. The visuals. That was the fist thing that caught my attention. Love it.
Damn i love these episodes, i love the perspectives of an actual architect when it comes to SciFi. Like, it gives those SciFi settings another dimension that isn't immediately apparent
The scary shiny glasses @3:43 have me shook! The production of your videos just keeps skyrocketing. The attention to detail is staggering.
Remind me of the haunting of the bly manor 🥸
Dami, really enjoy and appreciate your discussion points, architectural centric perspective, enviromental awareness and human personality. Thank you
Love your videos ! Been in Construction for years in various trades and kick myself for not paying attention to detail. Watching your videos I actually learn . You provide such amazing information. As for Dune never got into until I got a bit older now I find it so realtable and insightful especially in today's world.
Minor lore: Arakis was a desert when humans discovered it so the buildings couldn't have been built in the time when the planet was lush.
Great video. You characterized the Fremen well. They have adapted so well to the desert that they are inseparable from it. One scene in the book I always remember is when a Fremen thinks Paul is messing with them when he describes an ocean lol.
I recall a show over two decades ago, which I never forgot, on most durable structures on Earth for weather and a termite mound was seen as possibly the best.
I have seen many of your videos and I always love how much thought and research goes into knowing the settings and worlds of the games and movies you comment on!
Insanely great video and analysis! thank you so much!
The wind capture architecture and Brazilian Brutalism are very interesting. Would love to see videos on those topics more in-depth 🤔
You have enlarged my world. I love how you take fiction and compare it to the real world. Great job.
Glad I stumbled upon this channel. Fantastic content. the blend of sci-fi, architecture and history is not something I would have expected.
This video has amazing production value and content. Thanks for the upload.
Love you covering architecture in Science fiction, Dami 😎🌌
This by far has to be my favorite analysis you have put together. I’m a massive fan of the Dune universe. Thank you for this!
I live in the Eugene/Springfield area in Oregon, so Florence is a short drive away. I’ve always thought it was such a unique and beautiful place so I think it’s very cool that it inspired such an iconic series
This is an amazing video love the channel
Good informational break down. Dune is a visual amazing movie, but it’s hard to capture the whole essence of the series in a movie. It would be better as a TV series like the Expanse, but that would be extremely expensive like GOT.
Expensive and to top that, they'd do 6 interesting seasons and then eventually get lazy, frustrated and dump the whole thing in a rush, disappointing everyone without a care.
He made Dune as “love letter to cinema” - Denis Villeneuve
3:31 I love your Anima take
Very much enjoyed!! Thank you!
I stumbled upon this video and your breakdown of the science behind this fictional universe is very educational and honestly such a rewarding watch! Thank you for all your effort in the video and I am looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Capricho Árabe by Francisco Tarrega playing at around 14:00 is just amazing it never stops amazing me the quality production of your videos. Everything is always so well said and displayed it’s the same feeling as falling in love
ty for mentioning this! i recognized the song but couldnt remember the name
Awesome video on one of the most fascinating topics! One minor correction: it's the outworlders that come to Arrakis for spice. Fremen descent from Zensunni who settled on the planet because of its harsh conditions: to free from anything that is not strictly required for survival, which in their eyes meant to be closer to God.
Great video as always. Your analysis of these environments are very informative.
Just found your channel with this video and I am HOOKED.
I really like your take and content on architecture. Dune is my favorite sotry of all times, and then you talked and showed images from Salvador, Brazil where I'm from.
Its just the feeling that this whole vid was made for me hauahsuaha 💛
thanks for this
Dune also harks back to T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia)'s book about living with the Arabian tribes during World War 1. Lots of cross over, especially on issues of tribal organisation and tribal life, military tactics, and a host of others. Well worth a read if you have the time.
Thank you for this deep dive, I love it! I am a major fan of Dune, and this is one reason why. Too often even in fantastical fiction, I feel like the environment is treated as a decorated shed in which to place the drama, rather than a living world, shaped by and shaping the actions of the people who live there. Frank Herbert did an amazing job with this, and I feel like Villeneuve and the whole production team honored the vision. Thank you for exploring this.
Fantastic video. I want to particularly compliment you and your editor (if you have one) on your transitions and music choices. The editing and visuals were beautiful.
I also loved your message about seeking out local knowledge before attempting to solve a complex problem in a new environment.
Great video, I think that dune is actually quite special since most sci-fi movies don’t really think about architecture all that much
Someone thinks, but for most movies it's a stage for the action, rather than being a character itself.
I re-watched the movie in Netflix recently but now am gonna watch again with your insights. I went to Petra few years ago but didn’t connect it with Dune until you said it. Thank you so so much to you and your team for your brilliant videos. I feel the joy of this planet more after watching trying to see the nuance and history behind architecture.
Beautiful (and very truthful) commentary at the end 💞
I had to think of the “fog catching” in Peru when I saw the nets in the movie.
It’s quite interesting how it’s done in real life
I really appreciate that your uploads always have proper subtitles enabled! It really helps. That said, this video is a good example of a time when the subtitles have a lot of errors, not just with some of the fictional words but also a lot of words that directly affect a reader's ability to understand the content ("wooden traps" instead of "wind traps", things like that). Wanted to make sure your team knows, and I hope those can start getting checked a little more closely :) Thank you for all your hard work and amazing content!
Can you please speculate on what the future of apartment living will look like through the lens of science fiction? I truly value your expertise and input as an architect and pop-culture critic; and would LOVE if you’d investigate the future of densification, co-living & micro-apartments. 🙌🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿
Just some inspirational food for thought. Brazil, The Fifth Element, Blade Runner 2049, etc... As an inspiring interior architect, I myself am critical of the lack-of biophilic and bio-based materials found in futuristic apartments. What does that say about our speculative futures, quality of life and climate change? What could a healthy and regenerative apartment of the future look like, from the adaptable floor-plan to the furniture inside; and how can we start to chart a path towards a more just and sustainable future?
@@user-ic8no6bq9y If you wanna go "green" future, than I would suggest buildings built out of genetically modified (to grow very fast) wood, possibly, based on bamboo or eucalyptus (if it is possible to make it less prone to forest fires). The problem would be of course water, but if salt water tolerance could be engineered in, they could use abundant saltwater.
We might soon find the liabilities of high population density outweighing the benefits. Cramming hundreds to thousands of people into a factory or office is less necessary than ever. If we can mostly automate factory work, transition information work to telecommuting, and don't want to shop in person anymore, with local production by 3D printing eventually becoming a thing, there's not much reason left to pack people into cities that concentrate pollution and spread disease. Architects and urban planners try to mitigate the adverse effects of high population density, taking for granted that high population density will always be desirable, despite markets suggesting preferences shifting the opposite direction.
Wonderful video. Dune is my favorite book series. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this universe.
love your content!, i just recently found u and it blows my mind the approach of every subject you speak of.
keep the good work!
Awesome video. Would love more like this.
The Dune books are absolutely phenomenal, i highly recommend them to anyone who hasn't read them
only aryans with the faustian spirit can understand dune, the chang bug in this video can't
I read the first three--plowed through them, waiting for something interesting--about forty five years ago. A few years back, I decided to return the the first book to see if there was anything I had missed the first go around. I couldn't get past the first few pages.
I passed the book to a friend who had seen and liked the new movie but was unfamiliar with the books. He couldn't read it either.
I'm curious as to what people who like Herbert's work see in the Dune books. I just found unreadable junk.
@@depressedjeetard2369 you have an anime profile pic and you say that. I would ask what is wrong with you but your name explains it all 😂
@@jankafka7330 I read the first 3 books on my kindle and that helped a lot with quick access to a dictionary (English is my 2nd language). When it comes the books I liked the world building and intrigue of the story. To me its a more cynical take on "the hero's journey" were power corrupts the hero showing that having a supreme leader will cause problems for society and the cult of fame/worship is a slippery slope. Also the environmental and moral arguments in the books is really interesting of how they're more than able to make Arrakis more habitable but chooses to have people live in water poverty for the wealth that spice brings them (the great houses and empire). Herberts style of writing isn't for everyone but I think it's an important read for people that like sci-fi.
I enjoyed Dune. Dune Messiah felt like a really long fever dream and turned me off from reading the rest.
Great video! Would love to see a series
Thank you for this video, it was very instructive :)
What an awesome video. Lots of inspiring tangents and information!
this was so good thank you! dune is my favorite book
You are such an articulate story teller! Love your videos!
Can’t believe I haven’t found this channel before! Wonderful video. Thank you so much
I love dune, but one thing I did not like about the book and movie was how little of a look the audience got into the architecture and daily life of people on Arrakis. Great video!
agreed... but leaves more room for imagination 😁
Please do more sci-fi/cyberpunk videos! The editing, music and the narration is perfect
Your videos never cease to amaze me , my interest in architecture has peaked thanks to your interesting videos
Loved this video! Great work.
