the pronunciation of his name is not Eienne-Vie Boullee (0:45). but it's "Etienne-Louis Boulle"
So several months passes. If we look at the comments, it counts as 7. And among all trending and educational videos as "SciShow" and many more this topic has 2 comments. No likes or dislikes, and around of 2500+ views. This just shows to me that Architecture today is equivalent to Prometheus and we architects (future and current) as Victor. Idea that overbeared its functionality and went to extremes. If we don't build for people, for whom do we build for? What is "architectural language" if only some architects understand it? This is result of mediocre minds protecting their ego with meta-philosophical commentary designed so it can not be understood by layman. But the layman will invests in house, layman will accept the public tender , layman will sign your paycheck – so where is the point of keeping this monster alive? Topic of Ledoux is awesome, but its message has been watered down by language that is used not as a sword, but as a mist. People say pen is mightier than a sword, but in this case this pen is so dull that information is non existent. And architecture , an subject that could be in par with sciences (as a science of human habitation space ) is drowned down into an art form disregarding its own use. Have in mind I speak in this form only for you to understand me, since any other form you would deem bellow you. When thinking about architecture, ask yourself this question: "how does this benefit a human"?.
Muy interesante.
