What is the painting from 5:40 called?

I worked for Fox studios a number of years ago, and that was the first thing I did, was check out the tower after I checked all the studios first :). It is nothing like the movie portrays. Rather, it's just offices, cubes and conference rooms, just like any other L.A. office building. It does have fantastic views of West L.A. but that's about it. The parking garage is similar what the movie shows you, but I'm not sure if all the scenes were actually filmed there. It's hard to tell.

Horton Plaza Mall and the Gaslamp District development was a wonderful, memorable and exciting time! So much has changed. Great documentary!

Да да... ❤🐱

It was a perfectly practical decision for Fox executives to make use of the Fox Plaza building under construction as part of the set for "Die Hard." It's right next to the 20th Century Fox lot. I spent a considerable amount of time at Fox around that time. "Die Hard" came out in July of 1988, and in December the studio threw a splashy, old-fashioned launch party for their big Christmas release, "Working Girl," for which the lot was turned into various Manhattan locations -- with "Nakatomi Plaza" incongruously looming over it all. There were many jokes. Well, the movie had come out the previous summer but it was set at Christmas time, so it weirdly made sense in that way.

Worked in the 2022 Twin Tower during filming . We always called Fox building the Diehard Tower. When Reagan would stay at Century Plaza lots of security. Century City was a glamorous place to go to work everyday.

Let me simplify. It’s called “brutalism” because the buildings are brutal, in the common sense of the word. So if you’re ok with a brutal world, this is for you. The end.

Just in time for Christmas! 🥳

I never cared about brutalism; I would rather enjoy classical architecture, especially with church architecture. With this style called brutalism, I always feel like you as the narrator are trying to CONVINCE me what the symbolism means. Why can't I draw my own conclusions, or have a definite answer on why it looks the way it looks. I am no one important, but I REFUSE to live in a box.

This is a really very nice, made and interesting video in a nice style! Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Who's here after watching the brutalist trailer?

One of my favorite Christmas movies and the only action movie my mom ever enjoyed watching. The miniature work extended to the interiors of the building as well. The elevator fireball scene was a forced perspective miniature

NAKATOMI PLAZA ISNT REAL???

I loved the design and color of Horton Plaza went there a lot. Parked in their garage. Never seen a mall like that. I loved getting lost and finding my way around. And in 2024 Horton Plaza reconstruction is still not finished. It was said to open in Summer of 2024 but as of Winter December 2024 still not opened. Shame thought RIP Horton Plaza Mall

really cool video. It made me curious to know what are the current vanguard trends in architecture

i actually like this style

I’m a creative person. I make art in many media’s such as fashion, music, Game development etc and I find brutalism architecture beautiful. It’s very inspiring.

Brilliant summation. I have been at dinner parties where heated arguments have taken place about Brutalism. I love Eastern Europe Brutalism.

Was their on or commonly accepted of what is great world fair. 67 in Montreal does come up a lot，now almoat 60 years later. Even more then the 76 Olympics

Was their on or commonly accepted of what is great world fair. 67 in Montreal does come up a lot，now almoat 60years later. Even more then the 76 Olympics, almost kinda also like in the last of being an era that means more then just a simple great events. 50 yeats later.

Hi ! I just discovered this channel and it's very interesting as it explores the hidden side of architecture. It's great ! Clear and well-explained.

people do not hate brutalism enugh... no soul, no spirit.... no wonder brutalism is beloved style of dictators and libtards

Mies's creations is a resting spot for architect's eyes in this world of excessively decorated spaces

Reminds me of Yamasaki’s design for the original World Trade Center buildings in New York, where a substantial amount of the load was put into the outer frame of the building, allowing for a more open, column-free floor space. Also gothic cathedrals, where external supports were used for the same reason

It is a stile of archicrapture .

40 Wall St is just amazing. And no one ever wants to mention it

How is one an Imagineer and also a Jehovahs Witness like...two very very different Masters. PerhapscJehovah Witnessed Mickey making theme parks

This was great! Architecture as moments not as places

Good morning. Dae Woo International, may I help you? 88th Floor...good bye, cya Mr Woo.

Yeppers for Ronald Reagan again!

They are not masters, Zaha Hadid is the Master 🎉

This used to be one of my favorite spots to go when stationed in San Diego. It used to have the Sam Goody Music Store, the Comics n Stuff, a Panda Inn Restaurant, a Burger place, and even a bookstore.

Hey Steve. What a fantastic presentation and back story. Well done. Wow. The Pan Pacific was really a triumph of architecture that blended optimism and fantasy. I wish I could have seen this treasure in person. Your interview with Alan was also fascinating. Thank you for your commitment to superb architecture and for posting this historic information.

Thank you. How can I contact you?

Hi Steve! Thank you for nice videos.

Where's Zaha Hadid in all of that 😒

Great little doco, Steve. As for Brutalism...I am divided. Part of me, the artistic part, loves it. The ambition, the goemetric poetry. However, the sight of mottled grey and drab concrete buildings is, as you suggest, more dystopia than utopia. Indeed, there is a kind of inhumanity about much of it. That said, thanks again for the video.

Lord forgive me

Modern architecture is dystopian and crap. Get rid of everything post ~1945-1960

Much like a joke, if it needs explanation, it’s not very good

is this AI?

I've always loved Brutalism, and I 'm not an expert on architecture or anything. It's like you're on another planet, how could you not love it. I think it's exciting and beautiful. Granted, some of those huge blocks of apartments are not as successful as the public-institution buildings generally are, but well, I guess no style has a 100% batting average.

It's a hard life as a bostonian who likes the city hall
