This was great. Brent could go toe to toe with any architectural college professor!
Haha, thanks.
My wife and I watched this while you were streaming live. It definitely stirred up some good dinner conversation as well as some questions. We knew a number of people that lived in Eicler homes in Marin County, CA., which were Mid-Century Modern homes.
Thanks for joining us, I'm glad it sparked conversation. That is one of the goals.
Wonderful, informative, and heartfelt. So thrilled to find your insightful lectures. I wonder if the philosophical impetus that’s needed could be the very dedication to craftsmanship you talk about, and a rejection of our current throw-away culture.
I hope. Thanks for your comment.
I have stumbled upon these videos exploring you tube and love them . I like architecture and design and quality everything so your videos are a treat! Thanks!
Glad you like them! Welcome aboard.
Although this is mainly about architecture, I always wanted some Art Deco bedroom furniture. As I was walking home one night I saw that my neighbor put out an Art Deco bedframe for garbage pickup! I grabbed it, then texted him to let him know I picked it up. Long story short, he asked if I wanted the entire bedroom set (free) because it was being thrown out (they were moving out of their big home built in the 1800s). I now have my Art Deco bedroom set, along with all the other antique sideboards, chairs, tables, mirrors, floor and wall lamps that fill my home, that I got from people's 'garbage'. Scavenger hunting pays!!
Nice find!! Congrats
new to your channel, so my comment is super late. .....but it's amazing to me how these different styles/approaches to architecture are really about worldview; and that these underlying views and philosophies span everything, from art to graphic design, clothes, music, politics, media. .... 2nd observation I've had in listening is that this sort of boils down to "control" and "beauty". Man tends to go to extremes; the extreme of control produces the ugly, elitist, non-ornamented that feels rigid. and the extreme of beauty can lack control. (thinking of hippies/free-spirit type mentality that's all beauty and no structure/rules). ...Creation itself is a great revealer of God's ability to simultaneously execute exact control and precision but with the utmost, awe-inspiring, and life-giving beauty. He IS the ultimate designer and builder. :) ...all very interesting! enjoying your channel as I pursue being a self-taught ID. Thanks for sharing.
Great comments. I agree. Thanks.
I was kind of sad after this talk. It seemed like it was a reuse of the arts and crafts talk and the mid-century modern talk with a slice of art deco in the middle. While I enjoy looking at the outside buildings in the overall construction it would have been nice to see examples of millwork in interiors for the art Deco period. I was more interested in what Brent had to say about what moldings and how the classical proportions worked in a streamline modern art deco interior.
Thanks, that's a great suggestion. Let me work on it.
Thank you for sharing these. I wish I could attend in person.
Thanks for watching.
I Agree, bring back craftsmanship and design!
Please!
55:15 Yes, if you try to reject beauty, ugliness will be the result.
Agreed! Thanks.
Love this. Did art deco grow out of art noveau also? So glad I diiscovered your channel. Exciting, informative and entertaining presentation. Thank you 🙂🌻
Not really, they were both seeking design solutions. Art Nouveau was more organic, less modern. Thanks for watching.
Art Deco as a building style came after Art Nouveau because Art Nouveau (as building style) was quite expensive. After WWI and the great depression of 1929 Art Nouveau was no longer in fashion...
Art Nouveau as a building style - as pioneerd by Belgian architect Victor Horta - was a paradigma shift in designing houses. Horta made the stairwell the central focal point of the house and used it as an (additional) light source for the surrounding rooms.
Horta used his experience in building green houses for building houses and this was only possible with the use of wrought iron and steel.
@@koenraadprincen7212 Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Was a treat to read this🙂♥️
Is there a way to have a home designed for beauty and function?
That is the goal. I believe it can happen for sure.
What you describe about people not caring really is tragic. When you lose touch with hand craft, you lose a sense of art with it, and I think that's why there are so many ugly houses.
Agreed! It's a cultural problem.
akin to people not caring, I think, is an over-infatuation with and addiction to entertainment and technology, and the consequential neglect of maintenance on homes. The small town I grew up in is no longer the beauty it used to be, as the homes have not been maintained and look trashy. The same with the bigger town I now own a home in. In addition, while I believe ownership and the pursuit of rental property is a great way to build wealth, the prevalent "resale" and investment mentality also neglects maintenance and beauty, as it prioritizes profit. ("I'm not going to remodel my really dated bathroom because I won't get the money back." Or, "I want the cheapest quality flooring because it's for a rental property." ...end result of both is uglier houses, more depressive mind-set and atmosphere in communities, and depreciation of what used to be desirable neighborhoods. ...it's really quite sad to me as i drive to work everyday and look at all the different houses.
If you want something well made and you aren't rich, you have to build it yourself or find it in a salvage pike somewhere
Yep. Thanks.
Here's a video you might enjoy on America's Lost Classical Architecture.

Thanks!!
i actuallly hate post-modernism. treating shared environments that everyone will be subjected to as a joke is really disrespectful to the common person who will just feel uncomfortable
Modernism used conservative design to produce a new set of designs and postmodern rejected everything that was learned and tried to claim there was no such thing as design or philosophy.
I find it elitist and mean spirited. Thanks for commenting.
@@BrentHull i enjoyed the whole video thank you and the crew for making them
Yes, architecture/buildings of real quality are too rare. A bunch of forces converged after WWII to cheapen buildings. Don't get me started on McMansions.
Haha, me neither.
Corporate greed and capitalism was/is the source of The Ugly.
Can't argue with that.
Cubism to me is just pure intellectual vomit. Post modern took Cubism and decided copy it and pretend that it was some sort of new philosophy of design.
Post modern speaks from two sides of its mouth on one hand it will say there is no such thing as design while on the other hand talk about design as if it somehow reinvented it.
I agree with you, highly problematic. Thanks for your comment.
