Architecture CodeX #99 Geisel Library, San Diego by William Pereira
WHAT IF DR. SEUSS WAS AN ARCHITECT? Architecture Codex takes a look a very unusual brutalist futurist building that might be suitable for any Dr. Seuss book.

Introduction to the ARCHITECTURE CODEX Channel
This was a fascinating insight into Sir Christopher Wren. I have been to St Paul's Cathedral and was in awe at the grandeur and exceptional quality of the structure. For me it's beyond words to describe it. As an aside, if we are to interpret the quote at the end by Heinlein literally then all people in the present day are insects. But, I can't and won't interpret Heinlein's quote literally. This quote may be and probably is taken out of context and I would be more interested to know the context in which that quote was made. No one can be so versatile to be able to do all of those a human neing should be able to do as stated in the quote. Many people were highly competent in multiple areas in the past, but even then I think they were still the exception as opposed to the rule.
I did no expect you to create an entire Dr Seuss style children's book to explain the design of his namesake library, but I was entertained and appreciate a surely time intensive creation of the parody book complete with illustrations!
On our way to visit for our 3rd time over the past decade or so. Thank you so much for this great video and history👍
I like your take on this. Also I really like working with Smith Group as they are a firm that always subordinates the egos to the owner’s vision.
@billreifsteck9269 thanks....happily I am not the only one inspired. Don't know the Smith Group personally. Tell me more.
Bro. Your subtle humor is exquisite
Hilarious
I do not like his books, and I do not like his buildings.
So it goes. 😄
You should do the Salk Institute by Kahn. I love your channel. Keep up the good work!
Thanks. That's on my list to do but time is limited on some trips.
Great video - I appreciated your inclusion of facts not provided in the book I have which covers Gehry's work
Kudos to their attempt to create a hotel but…it’s an inferior hotel. My guess is that originally it was an interesting but functionally compromised terminal.
I live nearby so I never stayed there. Inferior not four stars or inferior rats bring the room service trays?
One of your best reports...🙂it takes someone with "stones" to throw them when necessary.
LOL
Your opening contextual portion was awesome!
I love Assisi.
Surely you realize the imperfections of architecture were the point! Ha
I love the basilica Santa Chiara

Do they allow queer weddings?
I don't know. My videos are about architecture, mostly. Bahai tries to balance traditional values which are encouraged with non-traditional modes of living which they want to tolerate without condoning apparently. In my faith, we do much the same. Separating the inclination from the action. So, they may not, but they may. (BTW I am avoiding commenting on whether the use of "queer" is a slur or not, as I know LGBTQ people who purposely use the word to take it back.) From the Bahai website: Baha’u’llah affirms that the family is the foundation of society and civilization, that marriage is between a man and a woman “that they may bring forth one who will make mention of God”, and that sexual relations are only permissible between a couple who are married to each other. These teachings are set forth in the Writings of Baha’u’llah and in the authoritative statements of ‘Abdu’l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi. They are not susceptible to change by the Universal House of Justice, the governing body of the Baha’i Faith. One of the fundamental verities of the Baha’i Faith is that conscience cannot be coerced. Every human being has the right to freedom of conscience and belief. Each is ultimately accountable to God for the choices made. Thus, despite their own convictions, Baha’is are enjoined to be tolerant and respectful of those whose views differ from their own, not to judge others according to Baha’i standards, and not to attempt to impose these standards on society. Prejudice of any kind is entirely against the spirit of the Faith; for embedded into the ethos of the Baha’i community is recognition that “love is light, no matter in what abode it dwelleth; and hate is darkness, no matter where it may make its nest.” Whether believer or not, Baha’u’llah exhorts all human beings “to traverse this brief span of life with sincerity and fairness;” to show forth “forbearance, mercy, compassion and loving-kindness towards all the peoples and kindreds of the earth.”
Excellent research and presentation. Is it the Einstein Tower of our time or is it just another Brown Derby? Like most of the “iconic”things in LA, it is meaningless.
Meaningless and yet so full of meaning in its aspiration!
could have done without the snide remark about our food, thanks. The 'british people eat bland food' thing is something of a cliche and a canard. What is considered our national dish is a curry for god's sake. But you carry on with your lazy prejudices my dude, as you go outside and dodge mass shooters and cowboys and go to eat a hamburger (how are hamburgers not bland? they are pretty much the blandest food going) I hate this American ha ha british food is bad rubbish, When I was in America I could barely eat the food it was so full of sugar,. So like yeah...People who say stuff like this generally make me turn off right away..I prefer videos where the person doesn't make snide remarks about my country thanks
Wow that sales force bit was great 😂🍆
Your point of view is valid of course, but it is based on a benign outlook of the future of civilization based on its present trajectory and on the present capabilities of AI. Both of these underpinning assumptions are changing and will change as we are seeing a global system that was created after WWII to prevent and mitigate Global War that is in the midst of failing and AI is still only in its nascence with indications that it is already capable of autonomous reasoning and sentient reactionary perspectives. So, we'll see what the future really holds for the tech. I am not as optimistic as you. By the way, you can already get yourself a Jetpack, but it is not mass marketed because there is no money to be made from it in a mass market.
Someone once commented that it is hard to make accurate predictions, especially about the future. I waiver between optimism and pessimism, but I do my part to add "good" to this world. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Gehry ends in “Why?”
My initial response before watching this video? No. Just like AI generators can't figure out how many fingers a hand has, they won't be able to navigate the intricacies of even residential design. Sure, it might give the impression of it... and maybe the hand will have the right amount of fingers. I guess one could gamble that generated output will be acceptable for a building, but it's unlikely. At the VERY least, the generated stuff will need to be supervised, vetted, and revised... which gets us back to square one, anyways. Edit: I do use AI to help me quickly navigate to a code section, but its interpretations get really crazy. I can still gaslight GPT4.0 into believing that absolutely incorrect math is an acceptable output.
We share the same opinion.
Great video - I think you often mean “consequently” instead of “subsequently”
Perhaps. I use subsequently when something comes after and consequently when something is counter to... but there are times when things are both. As I tried to keep the videos conversational, instead of hard scripted, it is easy for me to mispeak.
Nice presentation, thank you. Not finding the Scheider House, do you mean Schneider? Additionally, find no video on your channel for the Kentucky Knob, more problematic, #50 is on a different Frank Lloyd Wright design. Hope this helps. Cheers, Adriel
Thanks for your comment. The bit on Kentuck Knob is within video #50 on Taliesin West. As for the Scheider / Schneider House... I did not have a chance to go back and check to what I was referring, but it is possible I confused the two names.
I have been there. What a beautiful place. I used to know a doctor who bought one of their personal houses. He had it completely taken apart, put in new electrical, plumbing and insulation and then had them put it back just as it was when taken apart. It was an unreally beautiful house. You could not tell it had been taken apart.
Architecture that good deserves that kind of love.
well dwsigned
Neither cheap nor easy.
haha
Gehry’s design for Case Western ignored the Cleveland climate and sheets of ice fall from the metal roof at great peril to pedestrians. Apparently he thought the project was in LA!
And in LA the sun reflecting off the Disney Concert Hall was focused on to the residential building across the street frying them in their apartments. Climate is subordinate to Gehry's designs.
@@architecturecodex9818 Undeserving of his “starchitect” designation.
As always, your final comment is EVERYTHING. What are you currently working on, BTW? One of my faves of your catalog is when you presented some of your own projects, would love to view more? Thanks again for what you do!
Thanks! I am working on a great house project, one of my most important commissions. I am hoping it will be done enough to feature in my 100th video... a little self serving but why not!
@@architecturecodex9818 Hey, marketing is what we all do, whatever our field (i'm a school music teacher). is this new house located in the nyc/nj area, or farther afield? would love to hear whatever details you can share, just cuz this interests me?
Well said ... and for me an up-close street level visit with the brick base is a disappointment. Luckily the scale affords distant views whether taken by still camera or video, or for that matter the human eye, that almost guarantee the covering up of the brick annex.
I don't think I am really bothered by the street brick building - just amused and curious. But I understand why you would find it a disappointment. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you, great video, love it!
Society has forgotten the intrinsic value of living with good design❤thank you for a beautiful reminder
You are welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Incorrect! that is the most historically false statement in the history of history. Islam has always allowed religious freedom and guarantees their safty. The Muslim world was Sanctuary for Jewish people for 1,400 years. The West in 15,000's was in meddle of the reforrmation. Catholics & Protestants were a at war
You are incorrect. Islam often permitted other religions but frequently under heavy taxes and many limitations as per the Prophets instruction in the Koran. And then there are more harsh examples such as the Seljuk Turks where violent persecutions and pogroms occurred and wherever Wahhabism is most fervent. More importantly, you did not understand much of what I said. Because I noted that the idea of freedom of religion developed 500 years ago in Western Europe precisely because of the wars between Catholic and Protestants.
@@architecturecodex9818 wrong. Christians and Jews practised openly and safely in the Islamic world. A small tax is paid because the Christians and Jews are not obliged to serve in military defence of the state. Religious tolerance was commonplace throughout West and Central Asia When was the reformation? What are the dares 100 Years War? Western Europe has been the most murderous racist intolerant region. It's incomparable. A Catholic killed 6 million Jews 100 years ago
I grew up in the area and have been inside the beautiful Bahai Temple several times. It always impresses everyone as a landmark.
I was there just once many years ago, but you don't forget it.
It seems the above mentioned temple (which I have visited and was impressed with) is a 8-sided structure as were the 8-legged spidery sculptures that stood in Rockefeller Center (which I have visited and was creeped out by). Unless somewhere along the way I had forgotten that the temple and spidery sculptures were by the same architect/sculptor I have continually been under the impression that the sculptor who did the spiders was a woman and never made the connection, until now, that the 2 disparate works were by the same individual.
You are confusing Louis Bourgeois, architect with LouisE Bourgeois, sculptor; different eras, different genders; different people. I was confused a bit too when I was doing research and her work kept coming up.
@@architecturecodex9818 I stand corrected. too weird
@@michaelcharley8384 no problem
The Baha'i temple in Wilmette is nine sided.
Personally the capital needed a bit of monumentalism and modernity and I am glad they were built, even as a large sterile complex straight out of Star Wars as it was so well put. Are they out of place? Of course but that was the point... The rest of the city can remain historic and quaint but a capital city of this supposed importance needs to look the part. Same thing happened in Edmonton when they decided to turn 108 Street into a monumental axis... All the small-scale buildings and boulevard trees were replaced by sterile modernist architecture and blank plazas, though not to any real negative degree. The goal was visibility of "The Dome" along major corridors and it works...
not familiar with what happened at Edmonton, but now I am curious
I am from Buffalo NY and I have been in the 2 Wright homes there.I now live in FL I have been to the FL Southern College in Lakeland FL and to the Guggenheim in NY all a must see
Very informative. I'm satisfied with my mid-century small ranch house - somewhere between brute socialist apartment blocks and homes that require 40 acres of manicured grounds.
lol
Would never vote for the guy for president but as a Chicagoan I still love the building. Just an additional piece to the landscape.
This video brought me back to my early memories as a child.... the feeling that there were very substantial men doing very substantial and historic things. The world felt so "solid" and "permanent" back then.... of stone, glass and heavy beams. God bless FLW.
I dont understand how you don't have more followers yet! Awesome videos!
Thanks very much! Hopefully we can spread the word.
Check out The Oude Kerk ( Old Church) in Ámsterdam. It leans 2 meters from the vertical.
Wright and the other architects who designed “less than comfortable” chairs should have taken a road trip to Sam Maloof’s workshop and home. The Maloof rockers were designed originally for nursing mothers, so you can bet they were comfortable. I’ve wondered what Wright would have thought of Maloof’s home, hand-built by Sam primarily of wood right down to the door latches. My Frank Lloyd Wright book collection (more of an accumulation, actually) sits next to my single Sam Maloof book. I almost hate to pull them off the shelf because a quick review of a particular item invariably becomes an hours-long page turner.
"Experience is the thing you get right after you needed it." AKA: Hindsight is 2020. 🙂
"The columns from the outside and the ceiling you see from the inside is the structure, and not some decorative element. Beauty is not attached to it. The building is about Truth; the response to the immutable forces of gravity and from that Truth, Beauty is derived." I love this quote! I'm glad my architecture tutors dragged us out to see this building when we were in Rome. This brings back good memories!
È il central Park Tower è piu alto del Burj Khalifa, ora è Central Park Tower edificio più alto del mondo informati
Incorrect
Sei proprio cattivo, nel 2023 sono venuta a New York e con amico agente immobiliare ho visitato il Central Park Tower e penthouse 250 milioni di dollari, ha il terrazzo più bello e più alto dell osservatorio, è un capolavoro certo voi americani la classe e l' eleganza non la conoscete infatti seguite i Kardashian come fate a capire la bellezza della Central Park Tower?😅😅😅
If you have seen my other videos, you will see how I distinguish between great design and average design and how I do NOT follow the Kardashians. But it is exacting the Kardashians and their noveau riche tastes that would appreciate how the average $250 millio0n penthouse at Central Park Tower is decorated... probably garishly... that might make them like the Central Park Tower. I know the difference between elegance and conspicuous consumption. I on the other hand am commenting on the architecture not the furnishings.
SO true, true, a million times true. So great to hear this and see it in print. It is about time that this functionless art which is also formless is denounced for what it is: a vapid and meaningless, soon to be relegated to the dustbin of history, expression of personal ego, societal prejudices and quest for 15 minutes of fame and money. Kudos to you!
I was not prepared to love this building as much as I do. The sweep of the nave is remarkable. The image of Mary over the front door is stunning. The tapestries stand on their own.
I should get back there and see it again.
