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 . . ... !

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

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.

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.

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...

Perhaps the Eames would have got nowhere at all if the gender mix had been different. Just some average suburban architects.

Awesome video

Thanks for highlighting these lesser-known architects, it gives perspective. Do you know of any Black/African architects to make a presentation on?

An unexpected, but delightful, diversion from architects. Steinberg observed and dissected cultural norms.

A discovery, fascinating. Thank you so much .

thank you for your work, im trying to become an architect myself and seeing you being so passionate makes me feel encouraged.

Wonderful, thank you .

Architecture was much better before the use of a computer...

A Palace of Law is a Palace because it has a Court in it. This works in English, doesn't it work in Italian?

👏

What a great lecture!! Thanks for uploading!

Thank you so much for giving the rich lecture about Josef. It’s hard to find his resources in English. This vedilo really helpful!

it is Liverpool Cathedral, have a look at the finished building ..... Mackintosh lost, but they let Giles Gilbert Scott build what was broadly Mackintosh's design. (the Gilbert Scotts were the Church of England "in house" architect family of tradition). So they built the building that was placed second in the competition. Very like the Reichstag in Berlin, the competition winners, Fosters built the design of the designer who LOST the competition, the MUCH copied Santiago Calatrava! how dispiriting but clearly, 'twas ever thus ..... I wonder whether the unfairness of Mackintosh's treatment led to him retreating to the South of France away from architecture? Mackintosh's watercolours show a degree of fluency and talent that Holl cannot get near but possibly makes up for in arrogance. btw the marks on the stone of the School of Art cannot be by the fires, as the building remains unbuilt news.stv.tv/west-central/glasgow-school-of-art-in-arbitration-proceedings-over-mackintosh-building (that photo looks like a beautiful watercolour doesn't it?) the dirty marks are a combination of rain and soot (nature's own watercolour paints) in the 1960s in Britain in big cities, all the stone buildings were a beautiful matt black, because we used to make things here and we burnt plenty of coal .... all that is now destroyed. Thanks for the videos, I watch them when I pretend to work but am too tired - You look beneath many stones and show me things I haven't seen before!

I am a big fan of your channel thank you for sharing...Are you planning to do a lecture about Shota Bostanashvili? A Georgian architect I discovered just recetly... I believe you will love his story .)

Your most inspiring video (in my humble opinion) thank you very much

Your appreciation of Japanese architecture is heart warming. I wonder why it was translated as 'house of annihilation' - on the plan drawing it's written in Japanese 無為の家 (mui no ie) which means house of idleness or house of inactivity. about the window made of 2 circles, I'm afraid Scarpa was influenced by Japanese windows. I have a photo of a small window in the shape of 2 circles, covered with delicate rice paper which I took in a temple in Ohara near Kyoto.

flaming groovey

Lovely prattle, most enjoyable.

Stunning lecture; thank you for sharing .

I find it very similar to Peter Zumthor's work. Mighty fine.

thanks for the huge effort bringing the best of design to the public

44:00 I disagree actually 😄 I think there’s immense joy in Norman Foster’s work because he uses regularity to leverage structural balance which yields lightness and slenderness. Then he uses lattice work to create forms with a lot more freedom than most architects use. I secretly call this the Leg-of-Lamb building. While I love Toyo Ito, this one reminds me of an abattoir or maybe Chaïm Soutine.

28:16 I remember reading a piece about the Mikimoto Ginza tower where he was talking about your conception of the facade as being external because it makes sense as a whole from the outside. Inside, the floor plates cut the facade pattern in random places which strengthens the idea that the facade is part of the outside world instead of the inside. This leads to a subconscious understanding that the space flows freely to the outside. I think this is typified in the Todd’s far stronger almost as if the floor plates are butting against a forest of trees and the walls are a cut plane, like a tree hedge and one is able to touch outside by touching the facade.

you have the highest respect from japan then you don’t see how much that hadid stadium was offensive according to japanese aesthetic and sensibility
