Truly we need a renaissance in the making and reshaping of towns and cities, we have the materials and knownladge for beautiful cities, our politicians seem obsesed with big ugly buildings.
It's not that they are obsessed with making ugly, it's that they have no incentive to make anything beautiful. They need to be shown by the citizens that there are consequences to their actions.
Very interesting conversation, I just finished listening to it and appreciated particularly the strong arguments on how classical architect promotes better mental public health! Congrats for the interesting conversation.
This is such a wonderful discussion about how crazy the narrative has been with urban design in the "modern times" and how is perfectly explained with reference to the pandemic time, ways architecture can play a big role in creating a new positive narrative. It's what I focus my type on supporting, and is something I hope to speak to Ruben about scaling further. The narrative and way we design are interconnected, so there is so much potential to evolve both in a positive way that makes people and places come alive again full of energy and health. ⚡🙏🏻
What’s most interesting about these conversations is seeing Europeans come to terms with their lack of freedom, freedom of thought, freedom to build, freedom to choose beauty.
@@estasenora9747 Modernity is the age of quantity, as Guenon explains. The belief that only what can be measured exists is at the root of scientism. The need for definition is integral to the drive to quantify everything and fails to recognise the elusive nature of what isn't measurable, as well as the role of intuition as opposed to reasoning. It is also intrinsically delusional, because every definition harkens back to something that has been defined by something else, which in turns must ultimately refer to something that cannot be defined but can only be assumed. This is well known for example in Geometry, which acknowledges a few root concepts which cannot be defined but only intuited.
I really really despise this "scientific" approach to pleasing architecture. Beauty is not the domain of dumb engineers. Mathematics cannot explain instinct.

@@K.Dilkington I agree, we should be a lot more vocal about all that.
Another great video, Love everything you both do in regards to city planning and architecture

Thank you for this video. Very enjoyable.
Hansson should read the writings of Léon Krier who has been working on new traditional architecture since the eighties of the last century.
❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Careful, because the fixation with defining everything is a modern delusion.
Can you explain what you mean by this? Sounds profound. But I am not sure if I understood this right

@PVRE What makes you assume that "neuroscience" can understand beauty?
