“… society should be fertile ground to grow and express the powers of the ego and spirit of a free people and not turn them into subjects…Give people who inhabit these spaces the Intellectual freedom to understand where they are going and where they have been…architecture must elicit an emotional response. People want beauty and meaning in their lives…” Louis Sullivan….Thank you Robert’s Architecture for re-presenting these lovely thoughts.
Awesome video. I couldn’t agree more. My father was an architect, stuck doing boring repetitive skyscraper curtain walls of glass and aluminum. I’d ask him why we have the best materials science in human history, but don’t use it to make beautiful buildings? He thought no one wanted to pay for it anymore. Which is crazy, because most of Sullivan’s stuff was cast in molds.
Well done! I feel like I am back in freshman year of architecture class when all was possible, and the world was an oyster to be opened. Then the conclusion the Sullivan dies alone in a hotel room. Reminds me of Spain’s Antonio Gaudi…..
hello, this is an architecture student from Egypt. you've had me spend hours on a single video of yours There is so much to learn and take note of the way you pick and layout your topics is spot on, am somewhere between (NOW I SEE IT!) or (I didn't know that I needed to know this) your stories are so addictive, feels like am in a movie for a next level director I feel so special finding this channel as if it makes me think and conceptualize ideas ahead of my classmates and teaching assistants. but, on the other hand, you deserve much more exposure I hope you keep doing this I am grateful for it
Fantastic epilogue for an architectural innovator and humanist.
This is by far one of the best videos on youtube.
I've gained a wealth of knowledge from this channel.😊 It's fascinating to learn about the enduring legacies of iconic American architects such as Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Richard Neutra. Thank you for the valuable insights!
I wamt to add... thank you so much for this video! It is the best breakdown of Sullivan and his philosophy I have ever seen!
Excellent introduction for me on the design principles of Sullivan. Thanks!
Louis Sullivan is my favorite American Architect! We need to bring back his style!
I love love, love this video. This is my line of work and I do this all day, but watching his mastery is just stunning.
This video was so beautiful in words and highlights I have lost count how many times I've played it. Thank you.
Applause. Thank you for great video. Subscribed and shared everywhere
You have captured beautifully the essence of the great architect. Thank you so much!
Truly a visionary and one of the most important architects ever. It saddens me that society couldn't except him and he died alone and penny less
Lovely video. The Bayard building is still standing in New York and recently has been “restored” to an extent.
Your videos are incredible! Thank you
Wonderful! Thank you.
I love the hand drawn and watercolored art you've included! Really cool work!
