Grazie!

He shouldn’t have been so rushed.

Um, creaky, um, commentary.

Great presentation, I hope traditional architecture makes a big comeback. I hope never to live in a modernist architecture again. It feels soulless and looks ugly.

Excellent. Samuel's thoughts on vernacular where great to hear.

This presentation should not be a critique about modernity, but about mediocrity. I see plenty of sameness with traditional architecture. The "traditionalists" do not own the idea of placemaking.

Thanks for sharing. Very good. Kind regards Niall O'Connell Dundalk Irelande 21.13pm. Irelande time.

If you want to understand the trick of “civil” engineering you have to look at their data. All their models are based on data from three methods of action: load a beam in the middle and measure the forces until it breaks. Load a beam but fix the corners and measure the forces to see if the corners or beam break first…. Extrapolate/ Method two: take a chunk of concrete and abuse it in different ways and then measure the forces to crush it…. Extrapolate.. Method dumb: take a material put it in between two hot plates and measure the resistance… extrapolate.. Never is the building performance of the whole structure or labor considered:

The professional practice of architecture rejected me as well, for suggesting humbly that we judge building methods based on the experience of the laborer, and the performance of the structure thru time.

This. Short lecture is the most important event in architecture and trad building since de’lorme published his books.

Thank you for the excellent presentation Mr. Weatherill - your approach to placemaking and deep respect for local vernacular architecture should be a model for others to aspire to. It seems so simple in principle - to simply look around at the existing patterns and use them to inform the design of the project, infusing them with a knowledge of placemaking to create a result to which nothing need be added, and nothing removed. It represents in one project the slow historical building up of a local Architecture which is not only Human in it's execution, but is logically defensible in it's detailing and grounded in the Tradition of the place. This is certainly not the short-attention-span slop which forms the core of the 'creeping crud' quickly destroying the countryside - this is long-attention-span Architecture which dignifies both the Architect, and those future residents with the mind to see and understand it. Kudos.

Absolutely loved this. So much technical detail rather than unsubstantiated principals or eye-roll platitudes. Re. double hung windows, Tutton M. WINDOWS 2007 P. 16 reckons they're invented 1690s in Lond. (Don't actually own this book but read it a while ago and made scratchy notes.) Would be great if you could publish on this talk, would love to add to the reference library!

The great irony of the modern movement is its megalomaniacal impulse to deny the individual, indeed, the personal. At root it spring from the same impulse of socialism/Marxism: to suppress the individual and their choices and objectives. Everyone wants to be Plato's 'philosopher king'. It is a hateful philosophy and has produced hateful inhuman results. I've just read Rookmaaker's Modern Art and the Death of a Culture, which traces the degradation of the human in denial of a spiritual depth that is primordially personal, not impersonal, mind, not matter, and love, not haughty indifference . There are some lectures of his at Hans Rookmaaker: The Post-Christian World: Reality, the meaning crisis. (RUclips)

What a fascinating talk and a wonderful speaker! Thanks for sharing it. I learned so much. Off to look for wall hangings now...

Thank you! What a gem of presentation. This is a good start for anyone who is interested in the origins of western architecture. The Pantheon is both one of most beautiful buildings of Imperial Rome and probably the most sustainable building in Europe! Being 2,000 years old...(1,900).

I don’t like people who talk about building practice without mastering building labor first

A lovely and relevant philosophical approach to building. Thank you all.

Thank you for this. Fascinating
