Norman Foster: Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank Headquarters
If you ever come to Boston look at the Josep Luis Sert buildings, like the BU law building. Even the Hyatt hotel on the riverside of Cambridge (not by him) is aging but very unique inside.
Common sense is not so common. B.v. doshi's failed designs proved that.
We could sure use mass produced houses now.
This architecture seen in dallas friends office was in he to is an architect..
Yeah, but they still sh!t in a communal hole outside at the end of the street. The Romans figured out bathrooms+indoor plumbing over 2,000 years ago.
thanks so much for posting this, do you from where is taken?
I've been thinking just about this, that it ought to be possible to build a modular kind of house with room for some expansion.
Californian's doing dumb shit again by destroying such a beautiful and historic house. No class over there.
needed to see more of the interior and explanations of which experiments of the surfaces were most successful
How sad to find out the house was demolished. This house is my Roman Empire
1:03 This image reminds me of the back of the Louis Carré house in Bazoches that I went to visit.
very interesting subjet but the chat gpt writing is quite boring
How can you tell?
@@helloalanframe It uses so many synonyms and extraneous adjectives that contribute nothing to the actual meaning of the text, and it's completely devoid of character
The facade is like an abstract artwork. Never seen anything like that before
Failed project
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this intriguing example of alternative planning. So sad it didn’t get completed. Do you know of other examples of inclusive planning?
Alejandro Aravena's half houses seem like a similar idea in some ways. They were building social housing and they'd build the complicated bits of a house like the bathroom. But they'd leave the house unfinished. As the owners had money they could add more bedrooms and verandas etc.
If it falied, it's not supposed to be considered bad, just not perfect. But it was a great step into the real world where architects and urbanists are needed not only by middle-class well-educated families.
horrible. he replicated dense illegal slum housing in other parts of the country. And how is a 350 meter sq ft plot leading to this cramped homes?
a labyrinth.......so much for fire response?? assuming an eXTREMELY safe, non violent community.
In India there are whole villages and areas where there is no police, pwople regulate themselves.
its not the west, people here like to live next to each others.
I love it. Reminds me of the Renaissance Center in Detroit. Very 70's spacious and modern and comfortable.
This is absolutely genius. Well done, Elemental!
👍👍
I find this design more interesting than the Villa Savoye
Thank you l9ve ur channel
Great video. The proportion diagrams are very useful 👌
Incredible building. I have always loved it. Thank you.
Fascinating, thanks!
I had not seen this house before, nor was it ever presented as a great Corb work while an Architecture student or afterwards. I don't like it. No amount of word salad makes it beautiful or appealing to live in. To say that there is a dialog between the house/ office and the building adjacent is a joke. To those who love Corb, enjoy.
Here’s the Reader’s Digest Condensed Version: Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Hirohito embarked on a project to unify the human race through art. But universal art can only be expressed through human drama. Here’s a Wikipedia quote about Hirohito: “His experiences abroad, particularly in Britain and meeting with European monarchs, influenced his understanding of international relations and Japan's position on the global stage.” That global stage is RUclips, and the Internet. After WW2, which was only a theatrical drama, an art school was formed in Germany called Bauhaus. It was based on the idea of “scientific art” which places human drama within architectural boundaries. Frank Lloyd Wright was an American Bauhaus architect. The uglier the better. His ugly buildings were a model for ugly Hollywood. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Lloyd_Wright en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauhaus I don’t know Adolf Hitler’s opinion of scientific art. But I suspect that he hated it. And that scientific artists hated him. The idea of creating a “scientific art - world stage” also has a Japanese art movement: The whole world as “One Piece”. A secret island where all art is poignant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Piece:_Baron_Omatsuri_and_the_Secret_Island The “Tale of Genji” is poignant sad and wistful. It was written by the Japanese government less two hundred years ago. Isn’t Japan sad and artistic? Isn’t the whole world sad and artistic? Russia’s entire literary corpus is sad and artistic. Broke Back Mountain. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_Genji So the communist objective of unifying the human race through scientific art originated in Russia and Europe, followed by Asia and America. After Bauhaus produced scientific architectural drama, the same thing was done with sound and color. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraftwerk www.physics.wisc.edu/ingersollmuseum/exhibits/opticscolor/subcolormix/ Heinkel, Bayer, and Volkswagen were all committed to scientific art. So they “medicalized” sound by assigning subconscious color values to phonetic combinations. This has been done with every language in the world. In English “P” is red. “F” is brown. And so on. These medicalized phonics became the foundation of universal scientific art. Plosives are angry and exciting, and red and black. The horrible building you see in this video is a refutation of beauty as time and place. Universal scientific art as drama is pure experience. It has no time or place. Old people who want to live for hundreds of years live the idea of scientific theatrical timeless immortal art. Heinkel and Bayer now own art as medical scientific drama. It will live forever as an ugly world with beautiful unity.
LOVE IT - you got a sub...!
kill the music please, the story is interesting enough without it
Agreed, or at least lower the music volume
Volume is way too loud
This building was ugly when new and is still ugly now. It has never been a Hub of Los Angeles activity as suggested. It really has no feeling of permanence, lasting only until the next big earthquake. It has always been considered to look like a large expresso machine.
Wonderful tribute!
2:13 the vibrant fabrics and pimping finishes
What an awful shame 😢
LC was a genius. Great video! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Why the creepy noise? This sounds like a mindless video game
This house and it’s setting is gorgeous.
First, why spend some much time (and money) designing a unique roof structure and have it obscured by the HVAC and light supports? Secondly, Harrisburg gets snow and ice. How the hell does that roof drainage system work when clogged with snow and ice? Really an example of form over function.
Anyone can read from Wikipedia word for word. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivetti-Underwood_Factory
Wikipedia use the same sources that I do, word for word. I take info from multiple sources.
Not Everything new is better or even beautiful, but as with everything time takes back everything it gave
I don't see a cantilevered roof that was mentioned in the video.
Brilliant. ❤
Great tour of a great house! Thx!
Beautiful collection.
one of the few reasons to visit ipswich.
Thank you for sharing this hotel. It was a nice hotel I use to come to back in the late 1990s.😊
This channel will blow up very soon. Keep going. Great content.
Prestressed concrete allows more graceful structures... Not in that building!
Subbed. But I would have liked more upbeat music. Nice channel. I was one of the first subs for the B1M channel. Keep making this kind of quality content and you’ll maybe pass them by one day! Good luck and thanks for the upload!
Yes it is a good video explanation but I in fact really liked the background music. Makes a change from the generic non copyrighted sound tracks which are so prevalent and bland. They can also be quite distracting from the videos content.
@@brianpeers often a video is better with no music :)
This whole thing is a software voice reading the wikipedia page verbatim. 🤣 I think wikipedia is going to be soon filled with this garbage
This is exactly what architecture looks like in dystopian movies.
