How good ideas come to life 

I have seen other videos on youtube of people explaining the basic concepts contained in a book, but the way Dami does it is really amazing. I hope she keeps doing this kind of videos explaining concepts of interesting books. I really enjoyed it.

thesis anxiety was killing me, just hearing you talk motivates me so much. Thank you so much for existing. :')

Spent many years as a construction manager working with these ideas, beautiful designs and great people. Its refreshing to come across your channel and be able to share in your obvious energy and enthusiasm surrounding these subjects in architecture, design and the built environment, along with your thoughts on our internal process for bringing them into the "real world". Hope to see many more videos from you in the future!

Another fascinating, in depth piece of exploration by Dami. Your articulate, explanatory style in expreasing information and ideas is very satisfying to this creative. Nice job! Keep up the great work.

I love your effort and time you put into your videos. Thank you!

welcome back. a great and insightful video - just ordered the book. as a designer and engineer of over 40 yrs i have always put the notion of creativity at the forefront of my innovation and creative process. having the right environment, being able to explore and experiment without undue pressure to come up with results, looking for disparate connections contextually and around me and not be driven by commercial factors generally contribute very positively to the creation and development of ideas. another book that i find really useful is 'the secret of the highly creative thinker' by nielson and thurber. cheers

The section on the hunch reminded me of something Stephen King said: "A writer's notebook is the best way in the world to immortalize bad ideas. My idea about a good idea is one that sticks around and sticks around and sticks around." I mostly disagree with the notebook part, but I do agree with the ideas that stick around; they're the hunch, an idea with enough substance that your brain just naturally keeps chewing on it, sometimes for years until something else comes along and suddenly you're 50 pages deep into writing a new book. Or explaining the evolution of species. :p

That was a wonderful, introspective video! Thank you kindly 🙏

Wow, this was really well told and put together. Fantastic job Dami~

Hello, I just discovered your channel and watched a few at the end of my very bad week. I love the way you edit your videos, they have really good pace. You have a really good voice and it helps me focus on the topic. (which is something of a rarity in HK. by the way random info: the drone shot of the street crossing at 06:39 is Mong Kok in Hong Kong, intersection of Argyle street and Sai Yeung Choi street. The wedge shaped building, the red taxis and the positions of the MTR exits gave it away) Thank you for putting so much work into these videos, have a great weekend! 🍹

I loved the video and how you structure it also your voice tone and impressions are really engaging

amazing video. Just found your channel, and I'm so grateful I did. Thank you Dami

Wow these videos are really high quality! Your passion for this is obvious, it makes the subject more interesting…

I reeeeeally loved all of your book reviews!

Girl, I love your brain. Keep sharing!

I really enjoyed that bass kicking in at the end.

Im sooooo inspired by you💙

Learnt some new things, thanks Dami.

Hailing from Vancouver as well. this video is interesting and I will have to check out that book. I am an aspiring screenwriter and I have gotten ideas in the shower. I remember walking around the grocery store up and down the isles completely lost in thought for over half an hour formulating my script idea from beginning to end before I realized that I was there to buy groceries. A walk does help. Admittedly, I am stuck on another script idea but maybe that book you mentioned might help. I would have to agree with this video as my ideas did come to me all of a sudden but, beforehand, I was doing something related to it. Ideas, do come from a network whether you are exploring, talking to people, or engaged in an activity. On a side note: From an architectural point of view, have you checked out Cob Houses? It is a house made out of sand, clay and straw. If designed properly, these types of homes have interesting thermal properties that normal homes don't have and the walls also absorb sound and moisture. These types of structures have been around for centuries. I also mention this because of one of your other videos on how space and the environment can affect people. Most homes today are square whereas Cob home is molded and has a natural look and feel to it. Also, I like the blend of old technology mixed with new technology for designing buildings. Right angles are rare in nature. Rounded surfaces is ubiquitous in nature and that is the beauty of a Cob House and why the Cob House in Mayne Island has a 1-year waitlist for Airbnb. There is a beautiful one on Mayne island close to Vancouver Island called Cob House that is an Airbnb that has a one-year waitlist. Below is the youtube video to the Cob Hosue on Mayne Island BC: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F6sfLm8sNIs.html&ab_channel=FLORB Other info of interest: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OUGQNVleOEo.html&ab_channel=TinyHouseGiantJourney

Omg missing ur content soo much! And I loved this vid! The last part was reeeeaaally helpfull THANKS!

your channel is genuinely amazing

Thank you for this video, love the content

I know nothing about architect and I've not a clue who you are but this is refreshing to listen to lol. Thank you

Thank you for this, the video and the topic actually boosted me. working on final jury! 4th sem

I also remember the writing to be quite beautiful, which is not what you'd expect from a non-fiction book.

Yeheyyy!! Thank youu 😍✨

What do you think has helped most with being comfortable talking to the camera? Has your presentation experience with work helped the most, or is it more of something you have gotten used to more over time? I've been wanting to make a similar format of videos about writing, but wrapping my head around talking just to the camera while also making it sound like a natural conversation feels hard to get used to.

Wow this is the best review I’ve ever seen on youtube.

Great. There is also a guy called John Lehrer who talks about the same things in his research and book on creativity.

Taking notes

What do you think the job outlook in architecture will be? Like will it be automated by machines? And will it be hard to find a job? I’m a senior right now.

Thanks for shering

I missed u😭❤️

hi，could you help me with the example of 1 or 2 story building which have placement /proximity design principle in architecture case study😝

There you are. Welcome back!

I’m no architect but great book recommendation! Thanks for the video!

yeey you are back missing your vibes so much

I'm late to the party but this is so insightful and interesting

Yey, you're back!

We want a video on your design process

Could you please tell me that if I do B.Arch and pursue architecture as an international student in canada... when will I be able to apply for PR (permanent resident) please tell me as soon as possible.

I’m going into this architecture thing and I didn’t know I needed a portfolio as a rising senior in HS. Help pls

Anyone know why you need to put down credit card info to her free membership? I'm a teen with no credit card or bank account. Welcome back, thank you for this video.

I can’t handle vocal fry and up speak at the same time 😵‍💫👾

Is architecture hard? And is there a lot of math involved?

I love the new haircut.

After intermediate can we go for this b.arch subject??

" be water 🌊 my friend"

Just dropping a letter 'R' for the pronunciation of the word procrastinate @16:00 | "Hard work often pays off in the future, but laziness always pays off now."

2:25 Me: watching this with my earphones, volume at max Her: unexpectedly slapped that book My ears: that hurt haha

The video is amazing 🔥❤️, FYI ( the video wasn't getting long and uninteresting😔 )

I’ve no idea how I landed here, but I noticed the presenters accent sounds very west coast American. Is that right?

15:44--"Pouring" should have been spelled "poring."

That took very long😭

❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏

It's like there's a steady cam locked on to her teeth. It's kind of mesmerizing

There is 1 dislike! Woah! Must be a mispress.

you are beautiful!!!

You are pretty awesome… random I know. Sorry. Just thought you might need to have something simply said.

Clearly you are a born RU-vidr. Please use the great resignation as an excuse to pursue this full throttle. My two cents.

Another great vid! Really enjoying these book reviews. Almost like a « behind the scenes » of what influences architects aside from architecture itself
