@@LLLLLLLLLucas I don't know if you realize this, but London is not a US city. That aside, I prefer the DC videos, but the NYC ones are spectacular as well.
I love this series. I'm an architect but I don't know much about American architecture - it's not something we study much because it's so specific to the US and doesn't really affect other styles all that much. Nicholas presents information in such an engaging way and being able to "walk" around the neighborhoods brings it all to life much better than a talking head with pictures of the buildings flashing by ever could. I'd love to see it expand to Chicago or even further west - like the wacky postmodern experiments in Vegas or something like that.
Right! Same with Brussels - the capital of Europe - endless amount of history. Places with a story. A friend if me is a guide in Brussels : just listen and be amazed.
agree. but i guess architects like the celebrity home crap to keep up with trends? i dunno. i honestly dont care about celebrity homes at all, it ends up just making me sad that some people are so rich while others are so poor
@@Goldenretriever-k8m The point of those videos isn't the celebrity though. The whole point is the architecture, it makes no difference who lives in the house.
@@MRLONG758 Was going to say as much as I agree this content is so much more interesting, but compare the view count on this video to any of the celebrity house tours and you'll see why..
@@zachwilson7761 I was going to respond to you, but then I realized through your comment history, you’re just a typical troll on the internet implying the N-word in some places with « N », and you don’t deserve energy. NYC is the best, go back to your Kentucky porch and stop scrambling on your phone.
Architectural walking tours were some of my favourite memories as an arch student. You see the surroundings in such a different way and it brings a place to life. Hope these continue here and go international.
I live in Scotland and I really enjoy watching these videos. I love architectural history ... but with these videos I feel as if I am taking a short, interesting holiday abroad. More, please.
Visited NYC in 2017 and I absolutely loved Greenwich Village. Washington Square Park was my favorite. I had to see it as Barefoot in the Park is one of my favorite movies and a hilarious, pivotal scene takes place there
1- Washington Square Park 2- Washington Square Park North 3- Weather Underground House 4- First Whitney Museum on W 8th Street 5- Waverly Place between 6th Ave and the Park 6- Grove St and 7th Ave 7- The oldest House on Bedford St and Commerce St
This is such an interesting video! The architect Nicholas Potts, showed a very unique, different, and interesting side of the New York City architecture. A lot of history, facts, tips, it was fun to watch it. Bring him again and keep making content like this!
I love this tour. Stayed at a hotel in mid-town in June 2022 and walked to Greenwich Village. The historical architecture in NYC, including Brooklyn, is amazing.
This is fascinating. Whenever I see a post like this, featuring Nicholas Potts, I cannot click on it fast enough. I hang on his every word. I learn so much. Thanks, Architectural Digest! Really appreciate this series.
Greenwich village is definitely on my bucket list of places to visit in New York City. The history, culture, and architecture there is just wonderful and fascinating! Great video, AD & Nicholas!
Thank you. I lived in Manhattan at 2 different times. And the only constant in New York is change. But you've highlighted so much of the historical details that tells the story from another time. And the history of NYC is absolutely fascinating.
I live in NY and walked around these streets, places so many times. Fascinating to learn a bit of the history of some of these buildings and why they exist(ed). How very.
Absolutely love these walking tours and learning about the history of different architectural eras in America, hope this series expands would love to see around the world too.
Thank you for this -- not only insightful, but quite the fresh air to see someone so well indebted to their craft; the way his words flowed so intuitively peeks into the countless hours that has led him to where he is in the field. Great stuff. Thank you, AD and thank you, NP.
This was enjoyable. I lived in NYC in the early part of my career, working for SOM, Cooper-Eckstut, even the Muppets as a designer / media artist. I LOVED walking around NYC, looking at everything, admiring the smallest details, taking photos (using real film - imagine!). I also taught at Parsons, which had me close to this area. The 'Village' really is/was another world. Intimate, yet still part of an incredibly large fast paced "city". You shared history and details I did not know. Thank you! If I have one suggestion - and I believe this might be difficult for an architect to do, as they are often more comfortable bent over their desks (or locked in front of their computers....ie: not speaking to people), is to look more directly 'at' the camera when sharing all of this wonderful information. Just a little suggestion..... I 'think' I know what this video is trying to do - offer media that has people look more fondly at New York right now, after all that has recently happened in the world - in New York. I worked for those large firms that built those office towers where people were crammed in together at partitioned desks in order to work 8, 10, 12 hours a day for that magical dollar that brings 'happiness'. Since what has more recently taken place, people / workers have vacated New York City in droves, and moved by the trillions down to Florida, where they can enjoy an environment like Brickell in Miami, which offers tall buildings, street cafes, charming stores, all along streets that are incredibly clean, and where the weather is warm all year round. Tough choice! Migration does happen, throughout history. This video may cause a few people to pause. But I personally am not sure most workers want to return to 'the eighties'..... Both the 1980s, and, the 1880s. Again, great fun video.
this is the most interesting UA-cam video I've seen in a long time. Thank you for making it. I'm visiting next week for the first time and this is adding to my excitement of exploring the city.
Hugely interesting and educational video regarding the history of this part of New York city. I knew New York was a very big city, but this video proved that it was very much bigger than I expected. And more interesting too.
This is an excellent video. The level of detail on each building provides so many ways to go through Greenwich Village with new eyes. Many hidden gems revealed in this one.
I love this video!! This was so interesting to see different architectural styles and how some of them combined. I could listen to this guy talk all day !!
So interesting! Please also continue with landmark buildings like the Grand Central Terminal or the Plaza Hotel etc. The "Hidden Details" series. This one is amazing.
I feel fortunate to have lived in the Village when I was growing up in the 1960s. I like your comment that it has suffered from its own success. I miss the rough edges and the diverse personalities of its inhabitants back then.
If you get a chance, read the book "Arbitrary Stupid Goal" by Tamara Shopsin. She's an artist and author - daughter of Kenny Shopsin. Though I most certainly did not grow up in Greenwich Village, I am about her age and her writing about what it was like being a kid in the 70's still resonated with me. Hopefully, given that you grew up there, it will even more so. Cheers.
Thank you for this intelligent and informative video. Bravo to the architect. The amount of information he has acquired to speak intelligently about this topic is admirable and should be more appreciated.
Whenever I see those townhouse facades (currently owned by NYU) featured near the beginning of this video, I think of Henry James. The main characters of his famous novel "Washington Square" (set in the 1840s) lived in one of those townhouses.
Aloha, thank you so much for this wonderful presentation. Back in the 1960’s I lived in a few different apartments in the Village and absolutely loved it. I’m so grateful that these treasures have been preserved.
I remember visiting NYC back in the mid-'70s, and it was a completely different city. Yes, it was a mess, but it was rich in art, music, literature - and the 'Village', Chelsea, and other areas were affordable for these folks. Now, with gentrification, I imagine only the very wealthy can afford these neighborhoods. They're lovely, and I adore the architecture - I just wish we hadn't gone from a 'society' to an 'economy'.
About the 8:50 mark. 61 Grove Street and 7th ave corner is one of the graduate dorm buildings of The New School. He’s facing it when he’s talking about the building behind him across the street. It doesn’t come out in the video but that’s where I stayed when I attended Parsons at The New School. So many wonderful memories!!. I miss NYC. I wish it wasn’t so ridiculously expensive to live, for individuals or families. 😢
Why would they? There are hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of people buried under the whole of Manhattan and the rest of NYC since it was first inhabited by the indigenous Lenape people and Dutch and British settlers later. You want memorial, go and visit the one at the World Trade Center.
There's an engraved inscription in the sidewalk at the park's south end. It is only for the remains that were found during a recent excavation (around 2010) when a utility was doing work in the park. Those remains were reinterred elsewhere.
I love this style of video. I had an idea in which one of your architects would go around paris and go through the different architectural styles, to show it’s not all haussmannian.
5:08 Second floor - far left window - looks to me like it wouldn't leave a lot of space between that window and the interior wall. It would be interesting to know how that space is utilized on that floor as well as on the floor below.
You should come to Detroit, Michigan and showcase on your program some of the historic Art Deco era architecture that is in Detroit, such as many of the historic buildings located in downtown Detroit.
I love these tours! I learned so much. I was born in NYC and my parents met in the Village in the early 60s. I got a little lost on the last bit about four layers of bricks and cornices and ??? Can anyone explain? Would love to learn more about uncovering the history of these modifications over time. Fascinating!
When you build a building from brick you create overlap of the bricks such that the seams between the bricks don't all line up. When a wall is more than one layer of brick thick you want to tie the two layers together. So you can imagine a wall that is two layers of brick thick, if you just lay all the bricks across left to right then you get two layers of brick back to back with a big seam in between the two layers. That is not super strong. So you might consider laying some bricks front to back so that they lay across the two layers and interrupt the seam. So the original federal town house was built alternating one brick across left-to-right, one brick across front-to-back. So when you look at the face of the building the bricks alternate short long short long like you see at 11:37. The later additions don't follow this convention and instead will have one layer front to back every four or five layers of brick. So you will see one layer of just short short short, and then above it four or five lines of long long long, like at 11:49. It is the same idea, you get a layer tying the outer wall to the inner wall of bricks, but it is a different style. So when you see the brick style change you know that was a later addition. The cornice style just tells you when the addition was likely done. For example, a curvy ornate cornice that looks kind of Italian is 1860's-70's. Hope that helps.
INTERESTING! I especially enjoyed your the insight into those vaguely Spanish/Mediterranean 1920's renovations of older building that I've noticed dotted around the village. I call them "Rudolf Valentino Revival," but wasn't quite sure what they were about. Thanks!!!!
i live in nyc, and i love these videos. nyc has plenty of historical and beautiful buildings. sad thing is, for the neighborhoods that aren’t landmarked and have historical houses, they get torn down and new ugly modern buildings are built. hope that changes.
I used to live in the East Village in 1969 near avenue D but spent a lot of time in the West Village, only went over to seventh avenue to "Your Fathers Mustache" or an antique store whose owner was a friend. I never looked at the buildings that much, they looked like most buildings I had seen everywhere else. The Weather Underground house I remember when it blew up, and that Dustin Hoffman lived next door or near bye. Lots of freaks and cool people lived in both villages, and the apartments were cold and drafty in winter and hot in the summer (but cheap) so I and my friends spent most of our time on weekends in Washington Park or took a trip uptown to Central Park. Nice to see the area is cleaner and neater but the people seem bland and boring.
They can go on with these neighborhood tours I definitively. Plenty canvass to talk about. NYC Boston Montreal Chicago Buffalo NY Richmond VA ( those gingerbread rowhouses in Jamaican neighborhoods ) Savanna, GA New Orleans Newport RI ( the gilded age mansions on Bellevue Avenue and downtown rowhouses )
Wash Sq. Park : First visit many years ago On a Sunday The variety of characters and uses and music and … of that area was remarkable And then I glanced to my right just in time to spot a guy rolling his personal overstuffed living room or den chair to a shady spot in the Square … plopped down and that was indeed that …
These are way more interesting than celebrity house tours. NYC is the best US city for these videos too, theres so many historic buildings
I second that! Love these videos on NYC.
Especially in such a small overall footprint.
No ....London is better...its 1500 years older than New York

Right!

I was a student at NYU in the 1970s, I fell in love with the Village. It is still my favorite NYC neighborhood.

The channel shines when you have the hosts on site.

Thank you. So nice to walk and shown around 😉
This is great! Have they ever put in a memorial of some sort for all the people buried underneath Washington Square Park?
They have replaced it with GHETTO FENTANYL 'N' FLOYD statue
Why would they? There are hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of people buried under the whole of Manhattan and the rest of NYC since it was first inhabited by the indigenous Lenape people and Dutch and British settlers later. You want memorial, go and visit the one at the World Trade Center.
There's an engraved inscription in the sidewalk at the park's south end. It is only for the remains that were found during a recent excavation (around 2010) when a utility was doing work in the park. Those remains were reinterred elsewhere.
