Thanks for this great video. It answered my question about the bronze reliefs- if they had been brought by Atreides to Arrakis. But why would Atreides have a bronze relief of shi- halud above Paul's bed? Great video, thanks ❤❤
Floating lights are kind of standar in dune universe, light it's a byproduct of the mechanism that make things antigravitate, that's why are similar in dune and caladan, another little detail about Villeneuve commitment to the books
In the movie they're depicted following people, or at least moving with them. But that shouldn't be possible without some kind of AI, right? But AI is banned in the Dune universe, so how are those lights moving with the humans around them?
@@tbotalpha8133 Interesting question for sure. I'm no engineer, but I don't think it's completely impossible to build something like that without any digital technology. You could have ultrasonic sensors or something like that to keep the glowglobe away from walls and some kind of sensor to keep a specific distance from the humans they are following. Maybe the people would need to carry some kind of remote so the glowglobe can track its distance from and the direction of the people it follows. I'm pretty sure these sensors exist in analog form, without any digital signals or computers required. Again, I'm no expert though. This would probably be an interesting engineering challenge ^^
@@tbotalpha8133 I didn't study for this test :( ... Somewhere in the extended dune saga explained how globe lights works, but you're right they follow people
It depends on what you consider "AI", a Roomba is incapable of plotting your downfall (for now), but it can certainly be programmed to follow you around. Post Butlerian Jihad hysteria aside, anyone viewing that as a "thinking machine" is quite mistaken.@@tbotalpha8133
I love the cross-sections and blueprint graphics you've created here. The Caladan interiors are gorgeous, I think I could enjoy living in such a place quite a lot. I think it's interesting (and very appropriate) that the structures on Arrakis are built like pyramid/bunkers. The sloped surfaces help them survive the heavy weathering from sandstorms.
My favourite thing from the 2021 Dune movie was the design(dresses, architecture etc). I just love it. It is really Lord of the Rings level worldbuilding and uniqueness.
Brutalism is one of the most beautiful architecture styles ever created that was incorrectly used for so long and tainted in peoples eyes. I can't stand these ugly wavy trash looking modern buildings, its disgusting and an insult to beauty.
I thought those floating lanterns were the glowglobes mentioned in the book, I know it has globe in the name but I was thinking it was just a stylistic change made for the movie. I mean I guess we will see in part 2 when it comes out. Ofcousre there is the possibility that glow globes comes in different styles. Like how the lights we use in out homes can differ vastly within a single home.
After seeing the movie, the first Time, I got into architecture, and I discover the "brutalism" I find it really similar to what we Saw in the movie, with the use of concrete and natural light. I'm totally into it. Thanks for yours vidéos ! I was waiting for someone to talk about architecture on this movie
As a person who has the rare experience of living in such a building and complex. I can say brutalism is definitely not something one would concider beautiful, but it has without a doubt some energy behind it. The lighting was made with a lot of consideration. But the architectural style is from my experience not really fit for the future (at least on earth).
😅 we used to be a team but unfortunately… didn’t work out… obviously we haven’t posted much in a long time… but the hope is we’ll build another team soon
Wow, this was so fun to watch! I loved the intricate and thoughtful architectural designs in this movie, and your breakdowns just make me appreciate them all the more. Would love to see a similar video for Blade Runner 2049, specifically a breakdown of the Wallace Corp building.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah... Blade Runner 2049 is another great movie from Denis Villeneuve, we'd love to do a video on that too, there's a ton we can talk about
Such a great video. The drawings are wonderful and so helpful in understanding how the spaces work. Btw, another movie with interesting buildings is Lost Horizon from 1937.
Since I watched Dune, I'm obsessed with it's interior designs and themes, i always wanted my home aesthetics to be like that but I'm not sure about my neighbours, family, friends or relatives are gonna understand or appreciate my choice. 🙍🏻
Well… at the end of the day… you’re the one who’s gonna live there, and believe me… people will come around if they see you are passionate about something
The buildings of Arrakis were made of sandstone not concrete. It is intentional by its colour and texture. The drawings of the light fixtures are not even close. We made them...
Thanks for your insight on the materials… we try to be as accurate as possible but because we can’t reach the production team sometimes we get things wrong, did you really made the fixtures? We’d love to have them in our studio… is there somewhere we can get them?
This content is absolutely stunning and I love the level of detail. Just a suggestion: text is disappearing too fast! Most captions are impossibile to read.
What an amazing video that to for such a new channel, wasn't expecting it to be such High quality. As an i architect, I was looking for some videos regarding Dune's production design and i got drifted to your channel. The drawings, the representation everything in this video is stunning. Where did you get all these drawings from?
We're glad you found it useful... All the graphics and digital assets in our contents are designed by our own team... they referenced Dune's footage to reconstruct each area we needed for this video
Wow... I wish someone would have told us earlier about him... can't believe we didn't find him in our research. we'll add his name to the description of this video, thank you so much for letting us know
@@ArchitectureOfThings Thanks for adding it! I'm gonna watch your dune vehicle video soon and please link George Hull as he is responsible for a big portion of the Thopter design.
I don't remember reading or seeing any explanation of who built the buildings in Arrakeen. The obvious assumption is the Harkonnens, but the architecture seems too sophisticated and artistically subtle for that clan of thugs. Any thoughts?
I mean you can say the Forms are designed in a way to withstand the climate... but that doesn't explain the art pieces, like the bronze reliefs on the walls, So yeah... I think they missed that
Are the structures on Arakkis concrete? Or are they made from slabs of laser-cut stone? Bear in mind that on Arrakis, water is so scarce that the Fremen zealously strive to preserve every drop. Can't use Earth-style Portland cement concrete, because that needs too much water.
This is literally set tens of thousands of years into the future where interstellar space is traversed using a magic drug. I’m sure they devised other ways to create “cement” without having to use tons of water.
We’re glad you liked it, joining a friendly theatre group might be a good start, you’ll need some basic theatrical production knowledge of course… but mostly being a team player would do the job, you’ll get better with each play
I'm not even an Architect or an Interior Designer, just a fan of the movie, I really love this video. Sharing this to my Architect & Interior Designer best friends. Keep it going bro! Thanks for this (and thanks to youtube algorithm).
Interesting question... So let's say the height of the desks are 75-80cm then the ceiling height would be around 320-380cm (almost 4-4.5 times the height of the desks eye balling it of course) but because there's no columns in the room ceiling height might feels shorter
Thanks you for the line deisgns you made for the desks and chairs and other models in dune, i would love to make a house one day with just the type of architecture used in dune, it feels like a mix of minimalism and artisans interior design and i love it!
No... our voice-over actor is our dear friend ABA who's trying so hard to have a neutral accent and not gonna like your comment :))) (we're teasing of course) and he's Middle Easterner FYI
@@ArchitectureOfThings oh no, didn`t want to be rude or anything, just was wondering. I am Ukrainian myself, so just being curious. Cuz easternt accents tent to have a certain pattern, unique one also. Sorry for the inconvenience.
@@o.f.8127 Yes we understand, we were joking about him being upset... he's a darling. by the way... we hope things get better back home, our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine
@@ArchitectureOfThings yup, I got it. Thanks, we're hoping for the best, but it's as u can imagine is f*ed up in all possible ways. Thanks for the video btw, it helps to distract.
The interior design of the Dune 2021 film is absolutely boring. Whatever location, whatever planet: always some dark cave, with minimal furniture or decoration (which could have crafted by the summer interns), and then some over-bright shaded window inhibiting the view of the darker regions. This only remotely looks good on a HDR screen, and on a regular screen, it looks totally crappy. This is by for not remotely as classy as the 1984 Dune film.
I like the movie's architectural designs in a vacuum, but I find them inappropriate for the Dune universe. These people are unimaginably wealthy feudal lords in a vaguely Orientalist setting. They should be living in lavish, richly decorated spaces, not grey barren concrete hangars. It feels like Villeneuve just recycled the look of his Blade Runner movie (where it worked great). Same goes for the costumes and spaceships. Why are the Atreides' uniforms mottled and grungy before they even step out of the transport on Arrakis? Can the envoy of the Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe not afford to have his spaceship hosed down before he flies to an important appointment? Baron Harkonnen is greedy and venal and voracious, he should be surrounded by grotesque luxury, not sitting on a bare metal bench in an empty room.
