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 ..

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.

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! Perhaps hope is a "factor" we need to pay more attention to, if we want good architecture? See? You did it again! I don't know what the result is worth, but your video got me thinking! 🤗❤️

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.

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.

That Portland building looks like one from the 80s in Pasadena that me and my family called The Bathroom Building because its exterior design and cladding resembled the tiling of a bathroom, an old one styled with bad choices before 1955. Ugh. Worth saving? Maybe worth covering in a camouflage net at least so it's less of an eyesore.

Interesting topic. Would imagine that as GW shifts, we'll be borrowing more natural designs, like an ant or termite mound, and incorporating that into our buildings for things like ventilation or natural air conditioning, etc.

I feel your pain. Was a programmer for 40 years. Constant frustration from bosses who didn't care about any of the software architecture nor performance attributes nor user interfaces I cared about. Finally retired. Good riddance. Should have used me when I was available.

Freshman year of Architectural School at USC in 1974 our Technolgy instructor told us that to recycle an Aluminum can saved 90% of the energy required to make that can the conventional way (mining of the ore, processing, etc...) So, is the recycling (within reason) of a building resulting in energy savings anything new ?
@blakespower Жыл бұрын
same can be said with any metal that they mine as an ore, when they sink these huge ships to make a reef for fish, wouldn't it be cheaper just to remelt all that steel instead of digging more out of the ground which takes oput massive amounts of rocks and waste product that needs to be disposed of

Great video!! Interestingly, I remember debating this in 20th C Arch. History in the 00's and then standing in front of the renovation during COVID contemplating these very same merits. The energy component is a massive consideration overall but I must say, we are quickly running into a new paradigm in preservation where the initial objective of the 1970's Era NHPA of reversing the damage of Urban Renewal could in essence create the same problem it was envisioned to solve. By 2030, buildings from 1980 will begin to fall under the 50 year threshold, this will include some of the worst shopping mall developments, government housing projects and suburban sprawl. The PoMo debate is heated but the balance between preservation and development will likely be tipped on its head soon. Again, great video!

With remote teleworking being more entrenched in the workforce and commercial office space becoming less relied upon, finding a use for many empty office buildings will be important. I think It'd be a team effort to transform more areas to mixed use.

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.
@thevikingbear2343 Жыл бұрын
It would have been nice if you had spoken more about the renovation per se, what changed, etc. Your script makes a big deal of the windows so you set up an expectation there but no pay off. Are the windows still tiny? How does it affect the facade? Etc.

I’m curious how a take-off software like that will work with more complex building shapes. If it takes educates guess based on the building mass, is it still occur are enough if the building mass is other than a general cube? If it works for irregular building shapes this could be a bigger, more accessible tool for architecture development

Preconstruction here, the GC and the developer aren't picking mass timber over concrete in yvr. It's all about the $$$ baby. Basically shut down and VE all the architects ideas that don't add $ value.

Thank you for the video, it showed that Mass Timber was able to lower the embodied carbon. Wouldn't the structural integrity of the mass timber building be compromised if the building were to be damaged by a fire? If the structural integrity is then compromised, would this then increase to the embodied carbon? How about with damages due to water? Termites?

Thanks Dami for making this video! We need a holistic approach to water management, agriculture, urban planning and construction. Architect's hearts might be in the right place but when a high end client wants to demolish the beautiful prewar house and specs out hard wood floors and cabinetry made of mahogany from Africa for their new McMansion, many put their ideals on hold for the lucrative contract. I think the best way forward is to require new homes and buildings use sustainable materials and more carbon neutral construction practices. In the US the state could potentially regulate this. But, the developers have so much political power, especially here in NYC where I live, that they can flout zoning rules. Federal legislation and import tariffs are what is needed. We need to make developers pay on back end too for using materials that pollute our land fills and off gas carbon. We did it with lead time to move onto carbon.
