5 Reasons Why Modern Architecture is Boring
In this video, we explore the key factors contributing to boring modern architecture. The perceived decline in the quality and excitement of modern architecture. Discover why many new buildings lack uniqueness and character, and how economic and regulatory pressures play a role. Here are the top 5 reasons why modern architecture often comes across as uninspired:
Decline in Quality and Homogeneity: Modern architecture has seen a shift towards novelty and shock value, resulting in generic, cookie-cutter designs that lack uniqueness and character.
Relativism in Standards and Overemphasis on Functionality: The erosion of universal aesthetic criteria, combined with an exclusive focus on functionality, leads to designs that often lack creativity and aesthetic appeal.
Impact of Trends and Regulatory Constraints: Economic pressures and a focus on following trends contribute to uninspired architecture, while stringent building codes limit architects' creativity, resulting in sameness.
Loss of Transcendence and Economic Pressures: A cultural shift towards valuing personal expression over disciplined craftsmanship, along with economic pressures, leads to architecture that lacks depth and character.
Advocating for Change and Trends vs. Timelessness: The need to balance timeless design with innovation is crucial, as blindly following trends can result in quickly dated designs. Advocating for classical architectural education and supporting organizations promoting timeless principles can help steer architecture back towards excellence.
Join us as we delve into these issues and explore how we can bring back the beauty and inspiration to modern architecture!

    Great video! My home is a 1928 bungalow 2bd/1b with the original windows. Solid as a rock with the original wood floors, plaster/lathe, etc. I am not sure if/when the kitchen was renovated though (if at all) since it still has the drop down ironing board (with crease press). Not a big house but big enough. She is a great old girl.

      Houses of the 1920s era are great to renovate as they are straight forward to gut, kind of like a classic hot rod. I renovated a 1928 house in the Heights, Houston, Texas where the roof sheathing was 2x8 laid on its side across scissor trusses! beyond overkill pretty much spent much of the time figuring out how to expose the bones of the structure without compromising efficiency

    Because the design process from architect and engineer is very different. We do not iterate as much as an architect and if the architect changes something they perceive as tiny it can cause havoc on the engineering side of things.

    • @architecturalab
      @architecturalab 3 місяці тому

      Aesthetics drives a lot of the decisions in architecture, and sometimes I believe engineers might overlook symmetry or something that the architect is trying to achieve and you are right there’s been times where the principal architect that I worked under specified the door on the wall that would affect not only structural, but also mechanical electrical plumbing because we had so many things running through that wall. This is a valid point.

      When you edit rail make sure you are manipulating the rail by unpinning top rail if it models outside it will behave like a mass model and won’t be attached to the rest of the rail profile, so when you rotate it will stay attached… hope this helps

    • @architecturalab
      @architecturalab 5 місяців тому

      If 1" = 40', then 1/2"=20', and 1/4"=10', so it will not be equal to 1/4"= 1'-0," the closest way to get to do it is using the engineering scale 1"= 50' then the closest divisable factor is 1:48, where you would divide by 12 to get close enough. Increment on engineering scale are divisiable by 10 vs 12 on architectural scale take that into consideration. Hopefully that helped.
