HAHA mic issues, I know. The area one seemed to work best. The faithful lavalier crapped out 4 videos ago and the replacement ones I got sound worse or no sound at all!

Perhaps because I was born in 1980 I love modernism, steel, glass and cold industrial brutalism sometimes, and I always found the ATT building to be quaint or blockish and strange. It reminds me of a wardrobe. But since I am not an artist trying to say something about the state of things, it will obviously be lost on me.
As noted, I love all forms of architecture (except Rococo.) So, I have room in my heart and great appreciation of the AT&T and Lever House and the Chrysler Building and 432 Park and 220 Central Park South and WTC-1 and...
While Johnson holds a prominent place in architecture I have a distaste for close to half of his work. Johnson lapses into gimmickry often, of which one of the most atrocious examples is the residential tower across from NYC's Metropolitan Museum. That tower above the main shaft of the building gets a billboard-shaped mass that resembles a sloping wall of ancient Egypt (total pastiche). Likewise the PPG Headquarters in Pittsburgh using with no finesse reflective glass to establish a modern equivalent of a Gothic office building. That said I do like Pennzoil Place in Houston and the now non-existent Four Seasons Restaurant in the Seagram Building. Also on a more personal note going into an interview for an internship (1983) with the Manhattan Planning Office I requested to see the plans Johnson drew up the Times Square Re-do, prior to public release. All I can say is yuck. And thank GOD his plan was not adopted as it would have KILLED the visual dynamism of the Times Square/42nd St constellation. Thanks for the video.
A friend of mine worked at Johnson Burgee and he had great respect for both of them. But I tend to agree with you that Johnson was trying to play with the big boys by leveraging publicity often with gimmicks. He might have been a good architect regardless. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I am excited to see this channel grow. Hoping that a review of One Liberty Place will be recorded someday.
Possibly. Good idea!
Great video
Would love to hear these recorded with a lav mic though

Can you recommend one that works with a conventional video camera? The last two I ordered were awful. Not sure why it is so difficult to find one.
@@architecturecodex9818if you’re able to check that your camera is compatible with the DJi mics, I’d recommend them

Yes, the phones were all attached with wires…all the better so as to not get lost!
But you couldn't pick your ringtone! 😄
