11:58 "the journey between floors should take days and from top to bottom it should take months". 144 floors 15 meters apart are just a bit more than 2 km. That's a rather small mountain to climb. The rule of thumb for hikers is that 100 m of elevation take 15 minutes, so that would be less than 6 hours from bottom to top. Probably 8 including rests. (Sorry for nitpicking)

@anhnhvn 24 дня назад
Yeah the math in the video is quite a bit off. But in the context of the show I think it would probably not be as fast as 6-8 hours. There was only one central stairwell, it is bound to always be crowded, and some section might be closed off during certain hours for maintenance or security reasons, etc. So 2-3 days average for a journey from top to bottom would be more likely. More athletic people might make it in 1 day, but most would take more time.

@danilooliveira6580 24 дня назад
I think you are missing the fact that they are not climbing in a straight line, but in an shallow spiral, they have to cover a lot more ground for the same distance. a month to climb is ways off though. I'm pretty sure in the show they show it takes around a day for old people in a slow pace with rest periods, and maybe less than half a day for experienced couriers.

There's an old Polish sci-fi from 1984 called Seksmisja about two men woken from cryo sleep to find themselves in an all-women society living in an underground bunker. The way information was collected and controlled in the story made it a metaphor for living under Russian oppression. Pretty interesting looking back at it now.

More studies have shown that instead of people going feral in times of catastrophe, they organize for the collective good, so maybe we need more media and stories about that, to get rid of this idea 'you're on your own' the problem with a bunker of course is, what do you do when/if you get out? In the movie Threads, a town committee goes down into their bunker, and the town hall above collapses on it, so they all suffocate inside, unable to help the community they were supposed to be protecting.
@Vastin
@Vastin 25 дней назад
They do both, but as a rule the ones who go feral and individual don't last long, while the collectivists quickly form new power bases that can control territory, either integrating or displacing the individualists as they 'reclaim' territory lost in whatever disaster befell their society. So survivorship bias tends to heavily favor the collectivists - unsurprising for a social species. Individualism isn't a survival adaptation - human individualists classically have lousy lifespans - its an exploratory adaptation, they are the leading edge of the expansion of civilization, not the leftovers from disasters. A truly monumental disaster that quickly killed over 99% of the population might see individualists as some of the few survivors, but even the worst nuclear war scenarios aren't nearly that bad - and any scenario that IS that bad would very likely see the remaining 1% die out in a few years no matter what they did.

I remember reading the excellent book "Raven Rock" by Garrett Graff about the US government's post-apocalyptic survival plans, and what always stuck with me was the response of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court when he was offered a chance to ride out a hypothetical nuclear war with the rest of the government. After being told what this would actually entail, he refused, and basically said that he would rather die in a nuclear war than have to live underground with nothing but the Joint Chiefs of Staff for company. Strong Dr. Strangelove vibes to the whole concept. We Must Not Allow A Mineshaft Gap.

I've always thought that if you were to make a very large communal bunker, one key aspect would be to have several large, central areas that mimic external areas. Say for example, having a pedestrian city street and town square, with facilities and homes with windows looking out on it to give the illusion of an exterior space. Even if the bunker is large, if you could hop onto a bike and pedal your way across it, that would be beneficial for the occupants.

Something I have noticed is that many of those who are most enthusiastic about bunkers and end-of-world prepping (vs prepping for much more likely natural disasters) is their, already existing, alienation from society. This can be because they are socially isolated individuals due to personality, or ideological reasons, or because their extreme wealth has elevated them outside of normal human interaction (maybe a combination of those three). People who dream of surviving the apocalypse in a bunker have given up on trying to be part of the solution to stop the apocalypse from happening. They aren't even interested in working with other people to that end. They gave up. Which makes me wonder how they think they will manage to survive a real catastrophe in a bunker when they already show they are too weak to even try hard things like working with other people to fix the problems of the world? Prepping for a disaster is arguably very smart, especially if you are not within quick response distance for relief and rescue. Prepping for the end of the world is a waste of money, and shows you either have too much money, or you have very little understanding of the value of money.

They would be communities of the elite - those used to comfort and endless people to manipulate and do work for them. My guess is each plans on taking serf-level staff for this reason. Otherwise, the elite are too weak to fend for themselves when surrounded by their own kind. Or their own elites would reshuffle, and you'd end up with the lower elites being forced into serfdom. Or whatever human traits end up deciding hierarchy, whether mental or physical. In the end, the most manipulative would still win out, aka the psychopaths.

Zion is my favourite version of this style of bunker. I particularly liked the fact they had access to a cave to at least feel connected physically to an environment outside of the manufactured.

going back to tsutomu nihei, the silo reminds me of his manga Knights of Sidonia where the remnants of humanity live in a spacefaring "seed ship" called the Sidonia. it's structured exactly like the silo but is 28km long, with residential housing attached onto the outside of the central shaft ( what was the barrel of a massive ship-long cannon ), a sea populated with fish, a beach suspended from the ground, along with commercial, residential, and manufacturing districts located along and inside the outer wall. even some parts have districts with japanese style houses and religious shrines, its very cool

While one might feel some security in having a bunker, the bigger question is "would you want to live in the post apocolypse?" Surviving an event and living for a few days, weeks or even a year in a bunker in whatever level of comfort you can afford is fine. But you're either going to die in there, making it a tomb, or you, or your descendants, are going to have to come out at some point and try to exist in the world with whatever and whomever else is there. I guess that's just the human drive to survive. The stories in the City of Ember series take on similar issues.

The problem is humanity. Our ability to harness and develop technology has removed us from the normal control mechanisms of the natural world. As a result we procreate uncontrollably, destroy parts of the natural world in the rush to gather resources to feed the ever expanding needs of our culture and the species; all without responsibility. Nature will correct our activities as the CoVid-19 pandemic has just demonstrated. The question is are we sufficiently advanced to use our technology to build a human biome that separates ourselves from the world, integrate controls to limit the demand on space, resources and energy availability and alter our cultures to encapsulate survival traits that promote sustainability, enlightened co-operation and the abandonment of authoritarianism, selfish ambition and the delusion that a small group of people can make the world better. If we as a species can do this then the universe is ours, we could live in orbital habitats, on the surfaces of alien worlds or live between the stars as a truly independent race. Living in bunkers is another sign of how petty minded we have become.

Given all the copy paste between victorian houses, 80s era architecture and worst of all shitty shoebox condos we are finding sprouting up in Toronto, Robart's Library seems like something diverse/unique to rather bland Toronto architecture scene. Sure, won't negate your experience as a student and on the campus it might be an eyesore. But, as a whole when it comes to the whole city, I think it's a welcome edition from a bygone era.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Prepping, especially in terms of stocking up on food and other supplies, isn’t just for civilization ending events. It can help in situations most of us will experience. You lost your job? Stocked up food can save you quite a bit of money while looking for a new one. Scratch that. Any conceivable circumstances when you must save as much as possible is a good example of when it could come in useful.

They just used the Thomas Fisher Rare Books Library next to Robarts as the setting for an alien archive in Star Trek Discovery. I find something both unsettling and comforting about Brutalist architecture. The bleakness and coldness of the forms and the implication of a governing entity which can mobilize vast resources to impose such structures on the world is very unsettling. That being said, there is a sense of order and familiarity to institutional settings. There is the sense that there are rules and that they are knowable which is some comfort compared to the uncertainty of the natural world. I get both of those feelings from shows like Silo and Loki where they use Brutalist architecture to great effect.

To get to the point, for this particular work, this anime is starts of with two data researcher piecing together photos of green pastures, leaving the suspense of what is exactly going on. They're working alone in a silo style hole on some level, they talk about how everyone else has move to lower levels deeper in the structure. The boy gets frustrated and starts climbing up the structure. His friend joins him; curious what is above, when everyone has has gone deeper, given up on the research of what's on the surface. When they get to surface. SPOILER: They're on the moon inside a dome with a view of Earth!

I always liked the idea of a Subterranean house. In my area we have fire and on the opposite side we have tornadoes. The part of the house that's above ground would be living room, kitchen. Non-important rooms. Below would be bedrooms and Storage. That way all the important stuff like valuables in your family are safe under the ground. Also since maybe only 10% of the structure is actually being destroyed. Rebuilding two rooms would be cheap in resources comparing to rebuilding an entire house. These are not meant for surviving nuclear war. You only need to be able to survive underground for a week at the most. On average maybe 2 days.

Given that Tsutomu Nihei studied architecture before becoming an manga-ka it's not surprising that it always features prominently in his work.

I suggest checking out Girls' Last Tour (Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou), it's an anime and manga series about a dystopian post-apocalypse where humanity replaced nearly the entire Earth ecosystem with machinery, and then went all but extinct. The ruined brutalist megastructures that have been subsequently been coated with post-apocalyptic additions by the less advanced civilization that rose from the ruins and then also died out are really something to behold. It's also an atypical example of post-apocalyptica, in that the threat of violence and conflict is almost nonexistent. The human population left on the planet at the point of the story is counted at most in hundreds, more likely just dozens, so those prone of solving their problems with violence have pretty much died out already, and just the chance of running into another human being is something to be celebrated, not feared.

I was wondering the same thing. Indeed it would take a long time to climb the length of the silo so she's right about separating communities and restricting the flow of information but to go 4 floors / 50 feet wouldn't take long multi-storey apartment blocks are taller than that! I can well imagine different communities residing in sections of a few floors though as people tend to stick together in smaller communities / tribes. Irl there would be some mass transit / lift system in place- even if its use was restricted to authorised personnel otherwise policing, governance, technical and emergency services would be a nightmare.

And how would it take months to transverse about a mile's worth of stairs?

And at some point resourses from the Earth are necessary whether available or not.

The Silo TV series is based on the Book 'Shift' by Hugh Howey. It is an expansion of a short story called 'Wool' (if you read the story the title is self-explanatory) Some of the details in the TV show are different from the books, with the TV show making certain events more dramatic. Also, some of the details of The Silo in the TV series are not the same as the books. It makes for a different feel between the two - the TV series is much more claustrophobic.

The problem I am aware of though is that any time you have a convenient place to throw away stuff you don't care about, say a hole in the ground that's going down a mile or more from where you live, it's often easier to just take all your waste, put it in a bag, and throw it down the hole. Ask the residents of the first floor of many brownstones and apartment buildings in the NY, NY area The airspace the architects were required to build into the buildings, ended up being the dump for the residents who couldn't be bothered to take their trash to the garbage drop for the floor. I'm seriously betting that no one will want to live near the bottom of this bunker. Almost no cost to live there, except the derision of all the neighbors above you.

As someone who read the books from the Series (Silo). I can say, without spoiler, that there is, in fact, the considereation to "72 till Animal" just in other perspective.

I recently found out about your channel through YT recommendations and though I have nothing to do with architecture in my professional work(software and quant stuff) I'm hooked. Great videos and the research that goes behind them.

I think the biggest problem with a bunker from an architectural/planning point of view is that flooding would be an issue. Not necessarily that it couldn't be sealed from water (it won't last without maintenance, water never sleeps), but that the ground itself might shift if water starts seeping in down the outside of the shaft. Personally, I would love a silo, but only as part of a larger building. I would want, say, 10 stories of silo, 3 stories above ground, a decent courtyard and outer yard, and several acres. I wouldn't want to live alone with that setup though, lol, so it would get paranoid pretty quickly no matter what (thanks minecraft peaceful mode for the unrealistic expectations 🤣).

I also liked the way silo is circular, because it reminds me of the video u did about andor's prison, the cirlular design allows for easy surveilance and this theme was a key point throughout the series, they want to control the population and they always feel observed, great show and as always great video!!!

I absolutely love your videos. They are so well done and you have done such great research and are amazing and relaying the information in such a digestible way. I also love how you tackle concepts from sci-fi and fiction and explain real world analogs or inspiration. I had considered a career in architecture when I was younger, and studied many architects and styles, and still love architecture to this day, but I ended up going down a different artistic path, though I often find inspiration is architecture still. Keep up the great work. Your videos are always inspiring to me. Truly. Edit: I forgot to add that there is a great series that was on the History channel called "Life After People" that explores the what would happen to the world if humanity were to suddenly die off.

A point? Vevos Xpoint, (think I got that right) actually DOES have roads between the bunkers. They are not well maintained or very good roads but they were better when the place was still an active munitions storage area. That's right, the 'bunkers" are in fact "bunkers" that were originally built to store military munitions.

aw I love Robarts Library, spent a lot of time there as a study space and loved the stacks too. Also it's designed to look like a turkey but I think of it as a space ship that took a header into the ground

10:00 There’s a series called “Life After People” iirc that covers exactly this sort of thing across myriad domains (e.g. tall buildings, zoos, power plants, etc.).

When DamiLee videos stop coming out, there will probably be a historical video essay about her work in the old'n days of 2024. The camera team, researchers, and all the other supporting people will get an in depth spotlight. Compared to syndicated television shows about architecture of days gone by, nothing measures up to DamiLee. The combination of intelligent, yet digestible productions that is DamiLee, sets it apart. Sure there is a paid sponsorship ad, like all prominent producers of the time. That ad is usually well thought out for placement and selection. It perfectly blends in to subliminal messaging, because its just a quiet looking garnish, not the dish. The meat of a DamiLee story is, Architecture meeting people's imaginations of the fantastic. Bravo to the team and what an awesome impact you all will have shaping the face of humanity, though inspiring people and making dry obscure concepts engaging. Of all people watching and listening today and tomorrow, finding inspiration, and escaping into the joy of this content, it will be hard to pick out which of them will go on to have the next eureka moment at the time. At least one viewer is going to make a significant impact for the better. Being a role model is something to be proud of. If yall ever get down or burnt out, you can at least be proud and tired. Excellent no comment and don't quote me

Silo reminded me of the University of East Anglia, a Norman Foster-designed campus built in the 1960s. I grew-up a few miles away and the contrast between the brutalist concrete architecture and the surrounding Norfolk countryside was striking. But once you get inside its perimeter, especially in its central square, it feels such a complete space that the outside green spaces feel alien.
