    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).

    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 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 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.

    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 . .. . .!!

    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. :)

    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.

    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.
