Wow, this video is such an intelligent and stimulating talk, thank you for this.
Thanks for your thought provoking video. I've enjoyed your videos on this channel, which are consistently well produced and bolstered with your original drawings. I think the main issue regarding starchitects is man's need for monuments, memorable artifacts that shape and define a city's identity. The appearance of the building in the texture of the city is the first primary function a public building must address, because millions see the building and far fewer actually use it.
Great video, great critique
This video is in essence a critique of modern post capitalist society where we tend to focus on slogans. We can see it everywhere. Thank you for this eye opening video.
Love this videos, keep going please
Thank you; informative presentation with great visuals to illustrate. I think 'design-by-committee' approaches (to anything) can either result in a dysfunctional hodge-podge or, depending on the power-relations of the committee, end up as the most forceful or convincing 'single-vision' (akin to the Starchitect method). I'm reminded of the restaurant/chef trade and the saying 'someone has to be the fascist in the kitchen' (meaning that a successful operation often requires a forceful character to restrict and motivate). Sometimes committee's work well too. Perhaps there is room for many approaches to architecture?
thanks for this video...
Отличное видео, спасибо автору, понятно и красиво!
Perfect perfect !!!
:text-green-game-over::person-turqouise-waving:Lets go back to BASIC APPROACH to THE DESIGN-Awesome video Thanx!!
over all a very nice video for sure ... for me i would add on this great list Daniel libeskind for sure ..
i like that my city, Seattle got 3 mentions in this video.
The starchitects' buildings, like flashy new sci-fi movies, often cower commoners through their brazen self-assurance. They are over-sized spectacles that enrage staid grouches and inspire the humble. Who can help but react?
It is Rem Koolhaas (cabbage hare)
Great video thought the DEI argument is problematic, prizes and projects should be won by the most talented regardless of ethnicity and gender, so far i believe most have been fair
Thanks for a great video. Only disagree on 2 points: (1) the APPEARANCE (BEAUTY) of a building/structure is what SPEAKS TO PEOPLE FOREMOST (not conceptual ideas about space or utility). (2) "diversity, equity + inclusion" are COUNTERFEIT VIRTUES. VIRTUE is HARD - - that's why its rare and revered. COMPLAINING is EASY. NO ONE IS TRYING TO PREVENT WOMEN OR ANY ETHNIC OR RACIAL GROUP FROM DOING ANYTHING - - how is the color of someone's skin going to endow them with creativity? How is someone's sex going to help them create a building or a bridge? VICTIM-BRAINWASHING has seeped into the culture through college professors who most likely CAN'T do the work that PROFESSIONALS DO - - so they invent reasons to criticize those who are doing it. Frank Lloyd Wright was not a committee - - and he NEVER WENT TO SCHOOL FOR ARCHITECTURE.
You forgot Ando...
The more “starchitecty” the building, the more maintenance needed, the deeper the money pit. Bring back rationalism.
Thank you for telling me how we ended up with that pathetic empire State building
