Stewart Hicks

The channel produces explanatory videos about architecture and the built environment, focusing on how and why buildings and urban forms work, change, and affect daily life. Typical episodes analyze the technical and structural workings of specific building types (e.g., megastructures, bombproof designs, rotating buildings), trace historical and design changes (rooms that disappeared, why blueprints fell out of use), and examine the social or functional consequences of architectural choices (school staircases, domestic comfort, faux façades).
