  1. I happened to run into this video and I was pleasantly surprised that you started it quoting my all time favorite novel. The Hunchback of Notre Dame touched me on so many levels and made me love architecture even more. Thank you for your videos. Keep them going! ?

  2. I swear, this is the reason I wanted to study architecture in high school. Unfortunately I had to drop out, but everytime I talk with someone they have a hard time understanding that buildings are more than functional spaces and shapes.

  3. It's amazing that you're so knowledgeable about something you address so rarely, I for one would welcome more architecture content on your channel, perhaps an analysis of a building you find particularly meaningful the way you do with paintings?

  4. I believe that now is the start of what will eventually be the modern architectural age; a synergy between technology, aesthetic and the environment. We've already started but we still have a lot to learn in how we integrate spaces that feature technological advancements with the most basic and simplest designs that take advantage of what's around us. However, maybe it'll never be as beautiful and breathtaking as the Alhambra or Notre Dame.

  5. First of all, great video man.
    My only problems with you analisys is that you stablish that the different architectural styles (occidental at least) follow a strictly secuential order, as however it has been rather unorginzed timewice, because many of the clasic and historical architectural styles have been actualy simoultanious in various cases. so into that logic, i will consider that what we are having now is not an styless architecture, i would rather say that we have certain amount of postmodern architecture continuing to develope as well as a new wave of regionalist architecture that try to attend different problems such as afordable housing, emergency callouts, sutainability and cultural expression.

    Sorry for bad grammar, it took me a lot to write that down.
    (thumbs up).

  6. Дело вот в чем: архитектура – это лакмусовая бумажка времени ( его составляющих, включая пространство и то, чем оно наполнено ). Те, кто занимается архитектурой – знает это. Стоит учитывать тот факт, что во времена Готики или Ренессанса эти стили были ЗАПЕРТЫ в Европе. В мире никогда не было главенствующего архитектурного стиля. Но отсюда возникает вопрос: "Как в будущем будут именовать архитектуру нашей эпохи?"
    На данный момент есть множество архитектурных бюро, что проектируют объекты так, как свойственно только им, именитые бюро – имеют свой уникальный стиль или уникальный ПОДХОД к проектированию. Нельзя говорить о том, что более достойно того, чтобы остаться в истории, если рассматривать эту область по кусочкам. Но если взглянуть на картину в целом, то мы увидим кризис идеи. Беспорядочные метания и поиски без вектора направления.
    Что может задать это направление?
    Как я сказал в начале, архитектура – всего лишь отражение того, что происходит вокруг. Сейчас идет быстрое развитие технологий и человечество грезит об умных городах, городах будущего. В то время, как мировая экономика и экология находятся в кошмарном состоянии. На мой взгляд, направление для Нового Архитектурного Стиля может задать переход с одной экономической модели к другой. С нынешней на Ресурсо-ориентированную экономику мировую экономику.

  7. You should check out the architect Paolo Soleri. His stuff is incredible, and I think it's equally utilitarian and artistic (modern and postmodern). His work is very Giger-esque, and Giger was definitely influenced by him. It's pretty cool, there's this place called Arcosanti in Arizona that's basically an entire village community using Soleri's architecture. It's way out in the desert but works beautifully as a weird, isolated civilization almost completely on its own. I've been there and it's so cool to see things like that in modern America.
