I was just in New York City last Thursday. I usually walk up Park Avenue past the Seagram Building when I am in the City. I used to live in New York and for several years I worked just a block away from Seagram so I spent many hours sitting on the Seagram plaza. When I walked past the other day, the building was beaming with brown reflected daylight, like a fine glass of whiskey with ice in it. The building appeared to have just been polished, as it is every year or two, and the windows were spotless. No other building in the world looks like it. Seagram is #1 in my opinion.
Charlie Rose’s interviews were always so engaging because he really absorbed himself into the works of those he interviewed. Nothing flippant or “sound-bitie” about his interviewing style. Great conversation here about an extraordinary architect whose work is still accessible to us. Thank you so very much, “Manufacturing Intellect”, for finding and uploading this wonderful interview.
I spent my life inadvertently surrounded by Bauhaus, not realizing it, yet in total appreciation of it. In fact I've recently designed a building that as I watch this interview, Mies would love. I wish so badly I could share it with him to see his reaction. My beams are also external. Glass and openness. At first I wondered about what I had created, since it has elements of the Farnsworth housse. But the more I hear about Mies' works the better I feel about what I've accomplished.
The Seagrams is just one of many building Mies designed in a similar fashion. Hardly his cat's meow. Love how New Yorkers see themselves at the center of this universe, desperately connecting themselves into the legacy.
Hi. I would like to announce the upcoming release (November 2018) of my monograph about the November Revolution Monument in Berlin-Lichtenberg. The disappeared monument represents the fascinating history of the encounter between avant-garde art and progressive politics, contributing decisively to the development of Mies radically innovative architectural language. More information about the project here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/1375846881/mies-november-revolution-monument. I would be very glad to receive your support.
It looks like that from the outside but from the inside those apartments actually can be very nice! And I have serious doubts that people take their lives because of that. Rather because the person's live was fucked up for some reason. Could also happen every house of every design.
@@BarthiArgento one side is torturing hot in summer, the other is dark and never as light plus you freeze beside the large windows. Some people don't even want to go inside, they freakout at the door. Some really like it. I enjoyed but with time became a very dry atmosphere even if it's very beautiful. 1 person jumped out the window during my 4 years there.

at 14.30 it is interesting that Robert Venturi regretted on his remark "Less is a bore"!

He was far ahead of his time
This has to be the most pretentious looking panel of interviewees I've ever seen. That look at 3:25 is priceless 😂
Wow! I didn't know that Phyllis Lambert is of the Seagram Company and the one who chose Mies as the architect of the building. Thank you for sharing!

Sounds inefficient. Where is this building located?

Thanks for posting this interesting discussion.

I miss Rose interviews.
That's Paul Goldberger, not Philip Johnson, though it's clear there were lots of architects on your mind.
Yes.
his architecture is a complete failure, I lived in 201 corot street in Mtl and people jump off the window it'S to cod and life less.

Charlie Rose was such an overrated interviewer. He constantly interrupts to show his knowledge
Sorry, but Rose turns my stomach. I’ll look for a van de Rohe interview elsewhere.
