I'm a Mechanical Engineer in the Buildings Industry for almost 10 years now.. I think there needs to be a big shift towards the mindset on the importance of mechanical systems. Mechanical systems make or break the functionality, comfort, performance, and energy of a building, but for so long, mechanical is completely neglected. It's not the money maker. As long as the building doesn't freeze, does it matter? I've spent years fighting to even get a single mechanical room in some buildings, let alone space for a well designed system! I love seeing these Architectural films because you really showcase what buildings can be. I want to work alongside ambitious Architects like yourself to not only realize the visual and high level performance goals of buildings, but to further realize and develop the wellbeing of the building, the wellbeing of its users, and the wellbeing of our future. Another great video. I look forward to the next one.

Remember… 40% of the climate issue is in buildings. You guys are in an important field! I would advocate for geothermal, heating and cooling, and a lot of people are looking to integrate heat pumps! I am an inventor, so I realized the connection between air conditioning and heat pumps, and realize that you can actually… Convert your air conditioner into a heat pump ! Right. Embodied carbon is a topic that needs to apply to all the transportation out there which needs to be converted to electric or hydrogen fuel cell But wait! If the chassis of steel (that have used burned coal to produce them) are too heavy they should be replaced by carbon fiber shells… say for buses and trucks. What is novel is, “the entire environment needs to change, as well as the way we do business” and we need data, information, thinkers, innovators .. to bring carbon emissions down, replace methane/Natural gas with electric stoves, stop the drilling, and use the energy of the sun, wind, battery and hydrogen storage, as well as geo thermal, hydro electric, concentrated solar, molten salts - whatever we can do to stop burning fossil emissions and the release of methane (primarily in the tundra) that will melt Arctic glaciers and flood the coasts causing irreversible destruction The next few years are vital, so we need everyone on board, thinking, planning, and coordinating ..

Ah, the Portland building. I walked past it on my way to college for two years. :) Truthfully, I might be one of the few people who actually liked it’s appearance because it truly stood out in the general area of downtown. Then-mayor Frank Ivancie was the one who said modernist architecture was boring and for better or worse, he gave downtown Portland a statement piece that folks are still talking about 40 years later. So yeah, as a resident I was all for the effort to improve, renovate and preserve it. On the flip side, we have the Memorial Colosseum, which since day 1 was a bland and uninspired shoebox of a stadium, but one which we most likely will never tear down because some local architects deemed it significant (also, if feeling is a criteria - the MC is just a dump on the inside. Watching hockey or basketball games in there was not always pleasant.)

Excellent video! An interesting side issue is that the Portland renovation worked partly because the original idea was a “Decorated Box”, with a simple grid of space which allowed flexibility for future use, like a piece of clothing with room to adjust it. If the design had carefully tailored the space to articulate the original program it would have been less useful as a renovation.

It must be deeply disappointing and saddening to see it fail! Wouldn't it be nice if these hopes could finally be fulfilled after all? I remember the early 80s as a time of great hope. A lot of plans appeared that looked very futuristic, very daring. They seemed to promis the beginning of the future that science fiction movies like 2001 Space Odyssey had promised, but the termination of the Apollo program had ended!

I think one aspect of the problem is that city council gets so much campaign money from developers, and it's easier (and """good for the economy!!""") to constantly being making new construction and demoing old stuff, rather than fixing things what already exists. 😞 All that said, great video!

I just watched the video, and it was a good video. I'm always impressed at how Dami presents the material. I worked in the IT field but had initially graduated as a teacher and I thought the organization and approach of the material, keep the audience interested in knowing more. It's interesting to learn the aspects of information gathering needed to make the determination, which if every firm followed the same steps, it might contribute to better decisions and actions of organizations and people. However, not every group making such decisions about the future of existing buildings addresses the review based on rationality. I'm reminded of the Florida Condominium collapse, in which the loss of so many lives occurred and might have been prevented if they only acted sooner. The fact that this is a government building and on the historical registry, is a mixed blessing. I retired from Federal service but had watched buildings on locations that I worked at, deal with issues about replacing aging structures, and sometimes, decision makers in Federal don't always act rationally, even if it is historical or registered, only on the basis, is that if it's not broken, don't spend money (or as little as possible). Anyway, informative video, good creativity of introduction to the topic and great coverage. Heartiest congratulations on the channel. I always learn from each video.

The claim about 40% of emissions is complete nonsense. She is counting emissions used to produce ALL energy used in residential and commercial buildings. At least 2/3 of the emissions are from this, NOT construction. If the goal is to reduce emissions, you should absolutely be knocking down the old buildings, because over the lifetime of the building emissions from energy use DWARFS emissions from construction, and new construction can be MUCH more energy efficient than renovations.

To say that he was a controversial figure on the architectural scene would be an understatement; he was loathed by most of the students and professors in my class. At his lecture, we wore buttons saying things like, "We Don't Dig Graves", as well as others showing his Portland office building with a red diagonal slash through it. His entire lecture consisted of an unhinged rant against the "unenlightened" clients and officials he'd been forced to accommodate. Some thought he was slurring his words, and that the manner in which he clung to the podium for support suggested that he was intoxicated.

It may lose its status on the National Register of Historic Places but at least it has been saved for demolition. Thank you. Very engaging and engaging video. As usual.

The death starts with the abolition of ornament and texture, contributing to the absence of human spaces. The carbon footprint is an added nightmare. Thanks for dealing with these issues Dami.

I absolutely adore your impersonations! The meticulous attention given to costumes, scripts, and subtle nuances, such as the weary architect's nervous eye twitch, is truly remarkable. Your portrayal of the contractor deserves an Oscar for both its outstanding performance and relevance. Indeed, renovation is the ideal path forward. Overcoming numerous challenges ultimately leads to the gratification of creating a design that is significantly more eco-friendly. Was this response better or worse? Better Worse Same

I'm glad they saved the Portland building. It is an important example of late 20th century postmodernism. So many postmodern buildings have been demolished.

Would love to see a video on Mass timber and designing for it. Heard that Tallwood house at UBC may have issues with the concrete core and wood aging in different ways, and that Mass timber utilizes too much lumber and stick built is still preferable, even though it won't go as high and is more susceptible to fire. Do you design with CLT or NLT at all?

I have no connection with architecture but I find this voice very soothing. Also, the terminology and preciseness speaks to me... New sub!

That's exciting new developments, thank you for sharing! As always you make it really understandable all the moving pieces involved. I would love to see a video on passive design strategies, and I don't mean passivhaus design guidelines (honestly feel making your building airtight is just building problems into your design later down the road when your place isn't airtight anymore!), but the technologies like self-cooling facades or like the big shopping center in Zimbabwe that's designed like a termite mound and just needs some fans to keep it cooled during the summer.

I think breaking down material CB into the software during the design phase can greatly improve the architects designs. Along side physics and structure/tension AI assisted modeling, being able to adjust designs with optimal feedback during the design phase empowers architects designs to quantify the unique solutions and designs to register as historical achievements earlier and get approved and recognition for their work.

One change you need to incorporate into the building industry is more toilets. It's a pain when you have one toilet that gets hogged...

This is extremely important, and A LOT of people don't seem to get it, usually pointing to the usual "But, I did the super insulated envelope, and I have heat pumps, and PVs..." Climate action is urgent, even more so because construction industry is so influential, and you must do you energy and evenlope strategies properly, but the benefits of all of that are going to be visible only after ten years or so. The decision of do you build new or reuse the old is affecting the planet NOW, and if anyone went through latest IPCC report, we kinda have to stop building completely...

Downtown Portland would not be the same without that building. It's quirky, but statuesque. It would have felt like an empty hole if it was replaced by another sleek building with top to bottom glass due to the anonymity it replaced that space with.
