Thank you for sharing and illustrating us while keeping alive the memory of inspired archiitects . . ... !!
I appreciate all the videos you are uploading. Thank you!
Thank you for your interest in the channel!
Interesting point : Art and geometry. See also the geometry of Almada Negreiros on Google. There are one panel about the subjects that Matila Ghyka talk in is book: The Geometry of Art and Life.
Excellent analysis..Olgiati is an architect who will have done some interesting works at the beginning of his career then, like so many today, took the path of solipsistic trivialisation in order to profile himself (only that option remaining, since from a creative point of view he soon found himself at the end of the line).
did you receive any crab houses?
Recently, I had the opportunity to watch a fascinating documentary about the Goldstein House. This architectural masterpiece, also known as the Sheats-Goldstein Residence, is owned by none other than James Goldstein, a prominent figure in the world of real estate and fashion. As the owner of the Goldstein House, James Goldstein has hosted numerous extravagant parties that have become the talk of the town. This stunning property has seen its fair share of famous faces, with celebrities from all walks of life coming together to celebrate and enjoy the luxurious atmosphere.
I highly recommend looking at his Crystal Bridges museum in Arkansas, US. I have the blessing to visit it often and it’s one of the most enjoyable experiences of architecture I’ve ever encountered.
I thought it strange that the building you have shown of the Wharton Esherick Museum was done by Anne Tyng and Louis Kahn. I checked it out and from this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/imyVrJqDlsm7cqg.html I understood that the part you've shown was built by the artist Wharton Esherick (a very good artist and furniture maker of whom I've never heard before) on the basis of an old farm house. Later, in 1956, it's said, he collaborated with Kahn on additions which have a completely different style (minute 10:54 in the above link).
Thank you, David
OTTO WAGNER in his book Modern Architecture, he wrote, "only that which is practical can be beautiful".
It would be more helpful if you focused on the topic at hand rather than constantly getting diverted on interesting but not necessarily super relevant to the topic at hand . More succinct comments would overall improve quality .
Very good french sir ! Thanks for this video
Thank you very much, very entertaining commentary (I liked especially the reference to alchemy towards the end). The 'houses without qualities' and their positioning on the building sites are reminiscent of René Magritte's haunted houses in his series "Empire of Light" (L'Empire des lumières). This association might contribute to their surrealistic quality.
Love Buckminster Fuller.
could you do a lecture on his son Simon Ungers down the line please?

Its a great idea using engenier as an architecture about the subject there is a book: Structure As Architecture: A Source Book for Architects and Structural Engineers by Andrew Charleson.
It is unforgivable to suggest that a man becomes seriously ill because of his architecture, don't be so insulting - or stupid. (a 'seriously ill' architect writes)
You could argue that the Keystone is suggestive of Roman Architecture rather than Classicism's original Greek foundation, but the Capitol Buildings throughout the USA are classically Greek to recognise where the birth of Democracy occurred. So in Portland Graves is echoing the local government buildings of 150 years before. He changed to post-modernism because of that thing FASHION, that architects pretend not to follow ... you find it 'problematic' because of FASHION too ..... would that you knew it ...... and you know what, environmentalism is also fashion.
From what I have heard from people who went on pilgrimages, back 20 years ago, a lot of the NewYork5's houses were falling apart, they were cheaply built of plywood and held together with a wish and a prayer .... that is one reason they were demolished.
I also feel very passionate towards arquitecture I dislike , if you lived in my city you could declare yourself death . . ... by impression . .. !!!! ... Of course ! some collective humor always saves the occasion .. !! Regardless of my personal opinion , Michael Graves was a comercial genius , he took a risk and it paid off .. . and how !! there is no visible restrain .His arquitecture is emblematic of the 80s and he was so convinced of his style ( to his merit ) that he did it untill the very end .. . . Again ..!! Thank you very much for sharing your lectures with us .. . . !! ...
Thank you very much for such an inspiring lecture of the architecture of Philip Johnson , most of the pictures shown in the presentation have a metaphysical sensation in them , with the surfaces , shadows and sunlight always playing an important role , I believe the inclined cross at the St Basil Chapel perhaps its a conceptual gesture to the act of carrying the cross ... Again Thank you very much for sharing , I definitely always learn something new and exciting from your presentations ... . . Greetings from Mexico . .. . .!!
Thank you for being an active member of our channel!
Amen
Very interesting, thank you very much. The paintings in Rothko's chapel are black only in black and white photos, in reality they are dark purplish maroon. The sculpture in front is by Barnett Newman.
Thank you for your comment, David. Your activity on the channel is much appreciated!
Don’t feel bad for Zaha. Her estate is worth $100 million. Frank Lloyd Wright was only worth $20 million or so, adjusted for inflation.
A lot of interesting information, thank you very much. Though all this dwarfs us so.
Software architecture...
This was a disappointment. Subordination of art to morals and social issues is unfortunately all around us these days. For this reason design (architecture, fashion), still engaged with form, with the surface if you want, became a source of inspiration . Really wonderful things were made in the field of fashion in the last years. it's not necessarily about what we wear but about thoughts and ideas. Designers like Rei Kawakubo or Craig Green are great artists (better than Barbara Kruger). As I understand Nietzsche's words they speak the complexity of the surface, unlike the simple dichotomy between surface and depth. From this terrible depth of the surface emerged all the great art and the nation that knows it best is Japan.
In my opinion creativity comes from fight against monopoles. You know, even some chamber of architecture, like Slovenian ZAPS (Chamber of Architects) can put itself above an architectural school, by demanding more and more additional exams to get permission to build. Elitism, inherited from former socialism? Or from even older radical capitalism, from monarchism and so on? Where a school (or a skill) was at least appreciated. This institution might even not have a status of educational one, but overtakes a school, destroys it, takes degrees away, education? I do not have nothing against education, nothing against memberships, not even against some conditionalities, but against monopoles and against destructions of knowledge I am. What I talk here, might look paradoxicality, but it even is such. Dutchmen would understand. :)
Thank you very much for sharing , everytime I see any of your videos its a special moment and I learn something new .Your personal perspective adds and inspires you to reflect , question and wonder .. . .. Thank you very much again . ...Greetings from Mexico . . ... !
So nice of you, thank you for your kind words!
a very bad attempt to make Herman a “pioneer of modernism”, read James Steven Curl . And “water” about triangle
at last an equal to the magnificent historian Bastian Valkenburg (1918 - 1992) architects would do well to allot a similar measure of time equal to that which is devoted to assimilating the latest technology
Thank you for your presentation. Harry Weese should be more known.
I like your channel very much. Thank you for uploading your videos
Thank you for watching!
great videos, keep them coming!
Very interesting. Love to see these.
I agree with the commentary especially about the oppressive white monumentality of museums in the last decades. Thank you .
Pedro Cocinar ..... either him or Peter Cook?

sublime imagination
Today is also the birthday of Antoni Guadi, his architecture has impacted the world a lot.
Yes, that is true! On this channel we are aiming to post all presentations on the architect's birthday!
it is difficult to worry about using steel for its lack of sustainability and then praise such wilful architecture - because it uses so much more material than it would have done had it undergone close editorial criticism or even self-reflection during the design process. I decided the Scots Parliament was so poor (and again materially wasteful) that Pinos must have been the brains in the Pinos/Miralles practice, so much of it is so unconvincing even just 'graphically'. But its expensive graphics..... p.s. I suspect Gottfried Semper's education in, and knowledge of Latin and Ancient Greek was very sound indeed.
Totally. Carme Pinos was the genius (still is) architect in the tandem. Tagliabue is ridiculous.
marvelous.
Interesting, thank you
Love your lectures...i feel like home listening to you, much greetings from sofia, bulgaria!!!!
This solipsistic product of the architectural aristocracy, so perfectly represents why architecture is and will remain, nothing more than a nice possession to have for the wealthy. The awarding of a Pritzker Prize to this work, seriously and significantly undermines the standing of that achievement.
Worse than cutting down trees is the pretension to approach indigenous people with such primitive-like kitsch structure and then feel good about yourself being involved. Or is it an original Mapuche construction transported as it is to Venice? A futile gesture.
Magnificent! Such powerful original shapes, Thank you very much for introducing him.
Thank you for the video! What is the 18 volumes of books on the history of architecture that Pier Luigi Nervi initiated called? I can´t seem to find it...
Hello, Albert, the 18 volumes series is called "The History of World Architecture".
Perhaps the Eames would have got nowhere at all if the gender mix had been different. Just some average suburban architects.
