The illustration of Darwin and evolution is a poor example of 'progressing' architecture. Architecture requires intent. It requires a mind capable of eliminating and constructing design concepts, which hold the best possible solutions for those who occupy a structure.

[Pj Bang]

can't say for sure but it's most likely done in adobe flash. Same with the one @ 16:00, I am sure they used Lumion for the short walkthrough that follows that one

[Emanuel Dalea]

architecture projects might evolve, species......don't

[vishnu np]

Do you mean ms paint?

[in2universe]

that one is just a concept though, and concept designs are always too literal.

[in2universe]

you can do that in paint.

I feel sorry for you that you can't appreciate the art, workmanship, and thought that went into the projects he describes.

[Edder Ortega]

Does anyone know what app he used for the diagram animation from 11:30-12:15? It's not Sketchup or Studio Max.
