A beautiful intro into what’s coming. I just have one thing I would change. The experiment that proved the earth was a ball is not exclusive to the ball. The same experiment can be done on a flat surface with a more local light source. 😊
can you improve your visual thinking??
Those who watch this video must be rented, my soap is also rented😂
Can you do design process on Tadao Ando ?
Great video full of design concepts 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The funny thing is that modernist architecture became less functional than traditional buildings. All the weird angles and shapes in modernist architecture arent very functional. So indeed traditional architecture is the most functional. Because it first designs a functional shape and on top of it just adds ornaments. But the core of traditional architecture still is just a very functional shape with some ornaments added on to it.
This is great!!
"In the olden days", is your intended audience 5 year-olds? I don't think I've seen a video with as many in-line ads and stock footage. Substitute an AI voice and you would have the perfect click bait video. Blah!
The more “starchitecty” the building, the more maintenance needed, the deeper the money pit. Bring back rationalism.
Great presentation thank you
A very thorough introduction of the matter. Very well done. Thank you!
acrylic is the best.
Wow. Love the quality as an independent film maker. Better than dull classes.
Very Informative...
Quality video as always! Thanks!
Thanks
Amazing video, very inspiring! Even though I mostly work with the computer myself (and I am not even an architect), I hope to try more techniques by hand in the future. This is a great overview to see different materials and techniques
The tip about mounting printer paper to foamboard was a revelation! What adhesive do you use to mount the paper to the foamboard?
Back in the day we used spray mount fixative, but this is super toxic and I don't recommend it. Now I use glue sticks. My favorite is the "UHU Stic". I use this for most everything now.
At the moment, hand drawing is the cheapest and quickest option when talking to the client. Not even artificial intelligence can, for the time being, surpass it. To interpret what the client wants, you need a person behind the monitor with directions. Yes, I could give you more options, but the '' la prima idea'' is the basis and can only be achieved through sketches and notes. Then you would have to use some other medium to facilitate the process or for the client to understand it.
I think that people look at drawings for the skill, or the image, feeling of the artist. Images can take you somewhere. Music can take you somewhere.
We all have our dreams. 😊 I enjoy drawing and love this, your work. I sketch what I need built for my own understanding or to explain to a client or my wife, Hahaha 😊
Always nice when you upload! I'm not an architect (graphic designer with a penchant for architecture and urbanism in my free time) but I too appreciate sketchbooks (much less messy than loose paper). As far as media I like my waterproof ink in conjunction with gouache and watercolour pencils. Also Blender, as far as software goes.
How much generic stock footage in slow motion do you want? -Yes.
Proves we live in a Matrix.
interesting video, but it didn't really do what the title claimed.
Bruh I'm so cooked I didn't even understand the video 💀. Why I'm so bad at this
I appreciate that you are making these videos with the idea to help novice designers understand Wright's methods. This video provides a good introduction to Wright's basic kit of geometric tools. I have read extensively about Wright for decades and I have concluded that the geometry that Wright employed definitely has value for architectural designers. But the 19th century philosophy he attached to it is worthless rubbish. The two are not related except, perhaps, in the minds of Sullivan, and Wright. And they got it from earlier authors who lived at a time when people were heavily interested in spiritual matters while they were rejecting Christianity. So, keep in mind that the philosophy was a crutch for people who walked away from their church upbringing but were still in need of some spiritual framework to hang their worldview on. The biggest problem with studying books on Wright is that all the authors regurgitate the philosophical sounding gibberish that Wright spewed. It may have had some meaning to Wright, but it doesn't translate into any usable information for anyone else. And thinking about humanity's command over nature doesn't help you when you are struggling to come up with a plan, elevations, and sections, that are functional and beautiful. I'm not even sure that it meant anything to Wright either as far as design is concerned. It's very possible that he realized that Sullivan's gibberish was a good screen to keep his actual methods hidden from his competitors. It also had the benefit of dazzling potential, soft headed, clients with mystical sounding claptrap. The other time-wasting hurdle in studying Wright that stuffs every book on his work is his personal history. It always takes up far too much space and offers far too little help to designers. His personal life had a bearing on shifting his job opportunities, and that impacted what he was able to implement in his designs; but overall, being familiar with his sordid life is a burden rather than an aid to other designers. Wright was almost certainly a narcissist, and possibly a sociopath to some degree. "The Fellowship" is an extremely well researched and footnoted book that goes quite in depth on Wright's selfish and morally questionable life. Anyone who doesn't feel dirty from reading that book has character problems of their own. Nobody should look to Wright for moral guidance. Geometry is a tool that Wright used extensively and skillfully, but like all other architects, it is only one tool out of dozens that need to be employed. If you want to understand Wright's work, the best place to start is with his particular use of geometry.
I agree mostly, but you have to understand history to know why Sullivan and Wright were so philosophical about their work. The Industrial Revolution was destroying arts and crafts, architecture, and the way of life of millions of people. Like the Arts and Crafts movement, Sullivan and Wright sought to affirm humanism and art in their work against mass production and the inhumanity of the machine. The humanism of the Enlightenment was being replaced with mass production and the inhumanity of factory life. They believed in an alternate "Modern" architecture, one based on humanism, freedom, and natural processes. Unfortunately, this philosophy was overwhelmed by history and 'Corporate Modernism' post-WWII made these ideas obsolete.
The philosophy I referred to in my original comment was not of Ruskin's origin. I was speaking of transcendentalism, or whatever interpretation of it that Wright bought into. Wright copied limited aspects from Arts & Crafts furniture and architecture, but Wright did not believe in the main idea of the movement, that machines and mass production are bad. Wright certainly didn't believe they were going to die out just because Ruskin and Morris screamed that hand craftsmanship was morally superior, and better for the common man. Wright supported mass production, and gave a public speech in 1901 at Hull House in which he clearly expressed that machines were good if used to make things that are well designed. He promoted his designs, of course, which was his habit. Wright, as you know, designed houses that were supposed to be mass produced. Thinking about his own work spread across the land must have thrilled the egomaniac more than anything. That dream needed machines to come true. As you can see, I laugh at Wright because of his arrogance and selfishness, but I respect his clear thinking that machines are valuable tools, and mass production is essential for making products that are affordable to normal people. His experience with the failed mass production of houses taught him that hand work was also not going away. Mass produced concrete blocks were going to continue to be laid by individual men on building sites. We need to have a few academics around who understand Wright's self-promoting clap trap, but current design practitioners don't need to get bogged down in the unimportant details of humanism, transcendentalism, or other ideas that are not directly related to design. The only high-level philosophical concept that designers need to grasp is that they have a legal obligation to serve their client as well as they can.
I've stumbled across this video when researching level design for video games. Most games have levels which are made to fulfill a function and I was looking into ways to break this pattern while also keeping the game entertaining. I do feel a bit smarter now that I've viewed this video, thank you for making it :)
Thanks! I'm working on a video for UX design in architecture. Hope to get it out in a few months.
Careful, Terrence Howard is gonna claim copyright. 😂😂
:)
Я не понял но очень интересно. Кто может коротко объясните что тут иллюстрируется.
Alchemical symbol to nullify the beast of the 13 revelation
I'm still the only one to square the circle like Leonardo and Maier. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a21mr9OTfd3PYs4.htmlsi=gmRd8K8xFJubG2vq
Funny, because there's no "n" in Vitruvian!
For those interested, _NOVA_ currently has an episode called "Decoding da Vinci" on PBS to view for free. It focuses on an astonishing detailed analysis of the _Mona Lisa_ and an investigation of some of his drawings. ------------ Also, *_PLEASE_* do not encourage pseudoscientific archaeologies. "Atlantis" was never a real place. Its story was "an allegory on the hubris of nations" written by Plato. He claimed to have gotten it from Solon's writings who supposedly got it from Egypt, but scholars believe that Plato invented the entire tale all by himself. ------------ The ancient Egyptians were very intelligent engineers and creative people. They did _NOT_ need any help from a fictitious "advanced civilization" to help them build pyramids that are not nearly as old as the pseudos claim they are. Let's give the true builders, *the Egyptians* , their due.
I agree pseudo-scientific archaeologies are out of control, (blame Joe Rogan and Netflix) but much of the "Atlantis" myths come from Neo-Platonic thought, which is the same place sacred geometry springs from. So the myth of Atlantis and sacred geometry arose together. Maybe not historical fact, but part of the social development of ideas.
I have had the good fortune to visit the Guggenheim, Unity Temple, a number of his private residences in the Chicago area, Falling Water, Johnson Wax building, Taliesin East & West, the Taliesin Fellowship, and a number of TF designs with my fellow architecture student-friend. It got so we could identify a TF building from a mile away!
By the way, for you East Coasters, there is also a Sullivan building in Manhattan and in Buffalo.
I had to buy Ching when I was in Architecture, too. Oh, well! I eventually switched to the New York School of Interior Design where they had frequent gallery displays of renderings. There were some very beautiful ones that I saw, leaving Tracey Ching in the dust.
Tracy Ching. Love it.
My parents bought us "Edmund Scientific" toys for us when were little, and I remember there being one that had orange a plastic cube, sphere, and similar geometric shapes. They came in handy when in philosophy class, as a young adult in college, and our teacher asked if anyone knew what a platonic solid was. My memory of those small orange "toys" popped into my mind, and I answered correctly. Not quite a Platonic "recollection", but close!

Architects' dictums =)
To add Egyptians to the list of mathematical genius is a tragedy . They found the pyramids after the great flood . The race with the know how built them seven thousand years before Egyptians seen them .
I came here after Terrence Howard and Joe rogan
IT'S OBVIOUS THIS NARRATOR LOVES THE SOUND OF ""HIS OWN VOICE"",,,A-HOLE !
I hope the architects find out what’s real architecture
Terrence Howard finally opened the Flower of Life properly, thus correcting the wrongs in mathematics
My art is in Floyd Wright’s rendering!
It would've been a better video had there been fewer commercials interrupting concentration and focus. Please, protest KZread about their lust for infinite wealth at the cost of quality videos. Until whenever I am not subscribing or liking.
Sorry. I know how annoying it is. Content creators have no control over commercials now. KZread took that away from us earlier this year. I can't control the ads you see.
@@robertsarchitecture And also why I am leery about paying for KZread PREMIUM; they've already created a lack of trust.
The song is so sad
Leonardo was a bs inventor making a lot of crap..
It wasn’t his… it was older. Pfff
THANK YOU.
