    I'm an architect. Study architecture history. Having a vast knowledge of what's been done will help you substantially. Study the ones you love. Diagram them. Recreate them physically or digitally. Look at floor plans, building sections, wall details. One thing I did do right. Every job I had in high school was related to understanding the layers of a house. I worked on new construction houses, I installed windows, I worked as a house cleaner (this helped with understanding what gets dirty and the way different people utilizes their houses), if you want to design residential housing you could diagram how people use the spaces your already in (keep a sketch book with you at all times, sketch movement through spaces, sketch the way people use objects in other ways then the way they were intended, sketch floor plans you like, sketch facades you like, how do those facades relate to the inside, how do they connect the interior and exterior)

    I have never had any formal training in architecture and design, though I have always had a great interest in art, history etc. I must say, I completely agree with all your assessment of the bad examples - something just feels off to me intuitively. But when you explained it, a light kind of goes off and I am able to say, ah ha! that's why I sense what I sense!

    I enjoyed your explanations, but I can't resist adding a comment about Seattle Public Library's iconic branch. I lived downtown for a decade from age 25 to 35 and visited often, so I speak from experience. The concept for continuity with the ramps makes library sense but not people sense. Seattle has a huge homeless population that uses that library like a halfway house. They have every right to be there, but from a security standpoint the layout makes hundreds of unsafe spaces where you can't see or be seen as you browse the stacks. They also put the main floor of computer terminals above their events auditorium with no effective sound barrier at all. Computer users have to listen to whatever book talk is going on anytime they use it. The childrens' area tells the real story of the place as it has a very necesary security guard's desk - but I would guess that they also spend a big part of their day redirecting tourists away from the toilets which are unavailable unless assisting kids. (The adult toilets can't be accessed directly from the main floor from 4th or 5th avenue. It's up a floor in the most annoyingly high-concept, dramatically-hued part of the branch. ) It's not the example I'd use, just sayin' ;)

    Purpose and concept are crucial to good design. Form follows function, and that is as it should be. In fact, in my opinion if your function is excellent then the form will be beautiful. I believe that every decision you make as a designer should have a path of bread crumbs back to your concept. I'm not an architect, but I am an interior designer. My strongest designs have always begun with my strongest concepts.

    The first example structure seems to be attempting to tell a story with the way it evolves with successive floors, and suggests that the disparate shapes represent separate and distinct usage programmes. The lower floors being symmetrical, orderly, more simple, more rigid and stocky, and even colored in darker tones seems to indicate predictable reliability: This is pragmatic 'getting things done' space, be it commercial or administrative. It's accessable, well suited for the reception of visitors, and relatively easy to navigate and rationally understand one's own position within these levels of the structure. The upper floors with their exotic shapes, balconies, patios, windows, and vistas are a distinct contrast, where one is invited to WANDER and WONDER rather than exert committed effort toward a goal. Its meandering layout suggests that one must take one's time to find one's way, requiring more of one's attention to navigate and therefore stimulate a much more mindful and novel experience. With its many navigational endpoints culminating in scenic spaces whose function is aesthetic in nature, it practically DEMANDS that an occupant slow down, pay attention, and take in the view, creating a sense of intimacy with one's time.

    Yes, most of the points seems to be good. But the simplicity and complexity of the design depends on the narrative and also the clients. Some might doesn’t make sense in your opinion but might make sense for the owner (the client). You presented about the alignments and other stuff , but this is not a general rules I guess. Jus depends on what the client wants and the story behind the building. A normal client who only cares about aesthetics might only focus on how beautiful the house is, whether the alignment, scale and proportions might varies on his or her’s needs. I guess if we put everything of these ideas as a default all of the buildings will look the same and under the same way of architectural approach and creativity. Overall I like the points which u said but jus wanna remind the viewers that we shouldn’t think everything as fixed in architecture.

    People don't typically know this, but "McMansions" existed long before fastfood chains made the risk taking owners into "new money" - whenever there has been "new money" there has been awful architecture, so think of any industrial revolution and then look at the plethora of buildings designed and built at the time. You will see a tasteless mixture of multiple styles, usually derived from people taking a "tour of the continent" (Europe). Consistency mattered/matters very little, only showing off how much you can put into your property to make it "flashy"

    hi .. architectural design has always been and will always be subjective - there is never wrong or right, just a matter of appropriate or not - even that is subjective. It is all about justification of design. eg: the first example of the Tel Aviv apartment - a lot of negative outlook but we need to get to the source of the design - the owner and the architect - we can't simply judge. There's always motive behind it all - maybe the owner wanted a provoking architecture - who knows. Anyway, to the author of this video, tQ for your time and effort, architectural design is very personal and we should not impose our views too much on the works of others. At least it has been built.

    I disagree. I think the basket building and the randomly assorted building were dope. Imagine having the ability to make a basket building work practically and how the work environment is when everyone has to shop up to a basket everyday. It looks to have an ample amount of lighting too. There are different ways to tackle architecture. Deconstructionism would be the basket. The examples you seem to admire are structures that are made from the perspective of functionality which is fantastic. There is no wrong way. And basket building can be made with prime functionality in consideration.
