of the United Kingdom’s capitol city.
Architecture doesn’t just represent the physical elements of a place. While geographic location, weather, precipitation, and other characteristics dictate how communities live, there are also innate social and cultural connotations, as well.
Famous landmarks, like the Roman Colosseum, the Parthenon in Greece, or the Taj Mahal in India, connect the deep historic roots of these cultures to modern society. Meanwhile, modern design principles that drive the structural makeup of towns and cities reflect the innate needs of individuals and communities. How we work, communicate, connect, and participate in commerce all drive how we design and build spaces. Even our values as a society play a role, which has inspired some communities to embrace more sustainable, biolithic, and inclusive design methodologies.
In many ways, architecture is a physical manifestation of culture—a large mirror that shines back on us, allowing us to truly reflect on what specific groups and communities represent. That’s why, in our exploration of worldbuilding at VISIONS Summit: NYC, we’d be remiss if we didn’t have Dami Lee to explore this very topic.
Dami is a licensed architect who has turned her love for the craft, and her role as the founder of Nollistudio, into a highly engaging (and incredibly resonant) YouTube channel. As a creator, Dami aims to make architectural principles digestible for everyday people by connecting them to real-life examples, theories, and even myths. With more than 1.93 million subscribers and even more millions of views, Dami has helped the masses understand how architecture impacts society and culture.
“She’s found a way to bridge that gap, using her YouTube channel to make architectural concepts accessible, engaging and fun. She is also the owner of Nollistudio, a multidisciplinary creative team dedicated to exploring the built environment and its profound impact on society and culture.”

How Architecture Shapes Culture
Dami’s content and interviews offer research-backed and incredibly entertaining perspectives on how architecture and space design impact culture—and vice versa.
- Her video on the Kowloon Walled City, the densest city in the world, has 1.9 million views
- Her investigation into whether we can really build on Mars has 1.1 million views
- Her analysis of hive cities has nearly 2 million views
Some of Dami’s content even explores how religious and cultural rituals impact architectural trends and decisions. For example, her video on “why death needs space in our lives” explores the death rituals of different cultures; specifically, how we treat, celebrate, and support our loved ones as they go into the afterlife. It’s a profound exploration of religion and our innate beliefs on how we believe we should treat the dead. It’s also a fascinating breakdown of how different cities allocate space for these rituals and their ultimate costs.
During VISIONS Summit, we’ll have a jam-packed agenda of creators, brand strategists, and retail executives, who will share their perspectives on worldbuilding: what it really is, how it manifests across channels and in digital and physical realms, and what the evolution of consumer behaviors means for Commerce moving forward.
Building Worlds with Meaning
Dami will bring her deep architectural expertise, her passion for worldbuilding, and her background building a successful creative business to the VISIONS Summit stage.
She will join our other headline speaker, creator, musician, and bestselling author Andrew Huang, who successfully built his own world with his most creatively aggressive project to date: Spacetime. He’ll offer exclusive insights on why he decided to embark on this journey, what the aftermath (and resulting misinformation) taught him about being a creator, and how we participate in digital storytelling and worldbuilding simply by presenting ourselves a certain way online.
