This is fantastic. I love being able to "spend time with someone" and hear their thoughts, teachings, and ways of understanding a thing, kind of like being an apprentice learning from someone with wisdom. :D Great stuff. Much appreciated. I'll check out more of your videos!
This video was like a miracle to me. I was lost on my thoughts on traditional architecture through the design process of one of my school projects, as my teacher, a fearless modernist, almost prohibited me of doing so. With this video I found your blog and some texts you've made and so I had more arguments to promote my ideas. I'm thankful for the work you put in for making traditional architecture more approachable in these contemporary and aimless days
I'm in the same place as you, my teachers teach my class in the modernist language with all it's crazy ugly shapes that their architecture makes. You continue to design and promote the architecture you want to design. Do not let some loud modernist teacher to say you can't design traditional architecture.
THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR! As an amateur architectural artist with no background in the subject. I have always wondered where I could find detailed floor plans, ornamental plates, design books for classical architecture that would be for learning how to design and draw intricate plans for these structures. I have a personal interest in Art Nouveau, Romanesque Revival and Beaux Arts architecture, however I've found it difficult to find video lectures or books that teach HOW to design a such buildings based on various styles - ESPECIALLY Art Nouveau, it's like there's no source material to learn from. I see plenty of media lectures on modern and contemporary architecture, but hardly anything on classical and Jugendstil/Art Nouveau. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right places, what would be the best resources to use? I try looking up floor plans to, say, the Palau de la Musica in Barcelona or La Maison Du Peuple, even Louis Sullvian buildings and I can't find anything other than a few small, pixelated images on google. Is there a database to view such plans and Drawings?
Did you find anything else related to this sort of analysis? The only thing I can personally recommend is looking into and analysing Andrea Palladio’s work
I see u are involved in town planning. Just for sure; have u read Leon Krier's Architecture of Community? It's a very engaging and well-written read on traditional city planning complemented with an astute arsenal of anti-modernism arguments. It's written by a contemporary neo-classicist town planner/architect (in the classicism revival street he is well-known). (I am sure u checked out Quinlan Terry as well.) I am just exchanging some great stuff I benefitted a lot from, just like this channel/ur blog did for me. Oh and, that building is AMAZING. thnx!
Thanks for the great video. I'd love to hear/view your take on the role of architectural detail for urban buildings. As a city planner, I see a lot of multifamily or mixed-use buildings come through that lean so heavily into minimalism that it seems any character at all is lost from the facade, and therefore from the pedestrian experience at that 2 feet to 3 meter viewing range. Understanding that architects are usually bound to a developer's pro forma, and that there is a certain amount of subjectivity in this, I am convinced that too minimalistic a design - and perhaps too maximalist as well? - at too high a frequency in a built environment is detrimental to the common experience of most people experiencing a city. Thanks!
From the time when architecture ment something. I wish we buildt more like this today, and not alle the ugly minimalist boxes with random windows and whatnot
Hi Lancer, thanks for your comment. The drawing came from a marvelous set of annual volumes published at the turn of the last century titled "Les Concours Publics d'Architecture". I've added information on how to track down a copy of the publication to the blog post.

This is such an enjoyable video to watch - I hope you make more.
Make some more videos. These are amazing!

what architectural style does this building have?
This is a beaux arts style building. A style from the late 1800's
Loved it
What book was this drawing in?
I don't know which, but it's probably in one of these volumes: archive.org/search.php?query=concours%20beaux%20arts
