Hasta La Ideas

Dezeen’s YouTube channel, where you can watch all our video content including documentaries and interviews with architects and designers, has surpassed 250,000 subscribers.

To celebrate this milestone, we’ve commissioned an illustration from designer Adryan Tunde Abii-Smith.

London-based product designer and multi-disciplinary creative Tunde Abii-Smith has previously designed Pride artwork for Scottish footwear retailer Schuh and a deck of affirmation cards for the mindfulness and wellness influencer Hindz.

His design for Dezeen’s YouTube milestone incorporates famous buildings from the last 100 years – can you identify the different designs? Leave your best guesses in the comments!

Reminiscent of Lina Ghotmeh’s Stone Garden housing in Beirut – but coloured in a bright YouTube red – an imaginary and striking building dominates the scene. The central window is shaped after the YouTube play button.

To mark 250,000 YouTube subscribers, Tunde Abii-Smith told Dezeen he wanted to illustrate community.

“The YouTube building showcases a community living within it, being supported by it and nurturing it,” the designer said.

Come and join our YouTube community, where we have published more than 2,500 videos that have a combined view count of more than 64 million and growing.

You can watch a playlist of films that we have been making, annually, about the Serpentine Pavilion for more than seven years, or discover the recently unveiled Dezeen Awards China winners.

Towards the end of last year, we passed another milestone on one of our social media platforms: more than half a million followers on Dezeen’s LinkedIn.

Dezeen now has more than 7.5 million followers across all social media platforms and last year published its 50,000th post on the website.
