The problem is architects who only care about buildings looking good in their portfolio, next to pictures of all their other creations around the world. We need architects who care about whether buildings look good in the context in which they are built.
I'm one of those who cared about the context and focused all my studies on that. And it's been 6 years since I graduated and haven't yet had my first job here in Sweden.
The same issue in Canada: it has become trendy to paint brick houses black or dark grey. The fact that it is dark, cold and gloomy for 9 months seems to be irrelevant
They are doing that because the energy efficiency benefits outweigh the visual preferences of their neighbors. They are doing that because the fact it's gloomy and dark IS relevant, it's the very reason why they are choosing darker colors.
@@miketackabery7521 I mean it's entirely possible that in 20 years the region will be so warm year round from the seemingly irrevocable damage we have done and continue to do the the planet, that dark houses to prevent them from shedding valuable warmth will fall out of fashion.
@@rio425eeHaving a black house means that you absorb more heat in the summer and release more heat in the winter. What energy efficiency benefits could that possibly have? Especially for Canada...
@@jamalgibson8139 care to explain why you think the laws of thermodynamics turn off when there is snow on the ground? No, dark houses don't "release more heat in the winter", how are you so misinformed?
Oh I remembered I really disliked that beige interiors trend of 2000s now when you mention that colour, however the next decade just replaced it with dark grey, black and white. Depressive
I just found this channel, and it's perfect for me. I have been going around myself, giving my opinion about these modern buildings, and I also have said that I put way more value into the historical ones, because effort was actually put into them, I am so happy to see a rise in this culture.
Few years back, there was this trend of painting traditional houses all black. This particular interior design Instagram, the house was in LA! I’m just imagining their electricity bill to keep their air conditioning on the whole summer
Never thought about how climate effects colours! I'm quite fond of black and grey houses, as where I am in NZ is very temperate, so naturally it compliments white-sand beaches and sunny weather. But it makes sense it would be ill suited in a Nordic climate. Thanks for these shorts that make you think!
Exactly, on winter days, these tall, grey and messy looking buildings are so deppressing to look at, and nothing looks worse than them being misplaced so much, I often see them surrounded by olding historical brick buildings.
Yes! They should definitely introduce a few classes on how environments impact mood and mental states! If a cluttered and ugly indoor evironment is not energizing, then the same concept applies for exterior environments!
I don't think it affects it at all. There's very little sun anyway and even if, the surface of the paint could technically be minimally warmer from the very unintense sunlight but then the wind would cool it down anyway.
Dark brown can be a beautiful color for buildings, if the building was designed beautifully. Think about all the dark grown buildings along the canals of older parts of Amsterdam, or brownstone buildings in New York.
We have similar issues in Denmark. Entire districts of new houses are often souless in Layout architecture and landscaping. Boring choice of trees if any at all, plain grass everywhere, straight roads everywhere. No decoration. No flowers. Houses with no soul. The whole area bland and hostile.
Dark buildings are not a good idea in Canada either. Our winters and winter nights are long from October until March. No green trees until the middle or end of May, or June. Don’t ask about the arctic. I personally don’t understand the attraction to dark buildings. They are definitely depressing and uninspiring. Are we so determined to make our cities look like detention centres and prisons?
Because it is a current trend both in exteriror and interior sadly, it is just so devoid of character and so bland, like you live in an office when you are inside and the outside looks like it could be anywhere
darker values absorb heat though... You could have a dark color rather than a black or dark grey, but having something dark is literally suited to a cold climate.
Use the colors found in the local nature. A building have to fit the lighting is sits in, and for some strange reason Nature is really good at colour matching plants and animals to the local lighting. So my advice would be to quit the cherry pink and start looking at a birch instead. (Cherry pink is great in places like Italy, but it gets too cold and dead in the blue Scandinavian light. )
Yes and nice colours too, not ugly, cheap as heck paint slapped on a hideous block of a building to disguise its poor quality as we see all over my home city, Berlin. I am living in Ireland at the moment and even though winters here are dull and grey and rainy, many people have brightly painted houses especially by the coast and honestly its so refreshing. A lot of the paint jobs are even DIY and visibly so but it doesn't matter because the house underneath is actually nice. I don't hate all modern(ist) buildings, I think a lot can be done with glass and light materials, but a) they trend too dark and b) they don't carry bright colours particularly well. We really need architects to care more about their surroundings and less about their portfolio and profit margins!
I always supposed that dark buildings in Scandinavia fit the climate perfectly because they keep more radiation so they would be warmer than white buildings.
Drove under that building through a tunnel morning and night. I think it's to show off the lights and neon placards and what not. I think colors will be added to that building in the future though.
Dark buildings is a term used to describe empty investment properties that remain empty and dark at night because the property is more lucrative without occupancy rather than messy renters
I live in Brazil, and here it's sunny and hot almost year-round, but more and more buildings like this are popping up, and they look just as horrible and depressing as in any other kind of weather. It's only made worse by the fact that the streets and sidewalks are filthy, often overgrown, and in dire need of maintenance and order. There's no doubt, seeing the current state of things as compared to pictures from 80+ years ago, that we've failed as a society.
Same thing in Australia! Perth is super hot, dry and sunny in summer, yet most new buildings opt for dark or even black roof! So they end up paying an arm and a leg for running AC all the time. Stupid people build things that don't fit the local climate!
@@vichomangiola Trust me, they're not, the government portrays that, but in reality, not so much. Poland on the other hand is a true conservative country
That's not true, it's not something the government just portrays. How can they portray that? Make fake buildings? I have never seen a country that cares so much about it's past history as Russia. Poland is in the EU.@@charliefitzpatrick1057
unfortunately nope, they dont. they only bring modernist sprawl all around. our winters are quite depressing, because everything is grey, and were too far away from prerevolution architecture
i believe the intent of the dark design shown is to capture solar gain. the building becomes performative by using the suns energy to create a comfortable environment inside. it is quite cold in nordic countries.
If it's about color, then this channel must be thrilled about Barragán's use of color and mass for instance, or Bofill's extravagance, or the playfulness of Emmanuelle Moureaux´s work. Their minds will be blown when they see Freddy Mamani's buildings, especially because the latter is as stylistic as the architects praised in this channel, with the difference that Mamani's style is original.
I live in sunny California and it's still the same thing. Renderings that fool people by having all this bright warm lighting, with tons of trees thrown in. People just see warm light and nature and are tricked into liking it.
Sweden is also a COLD country... they probably do it to absorb whatever sun's energy shines upon that building. However that doesn't explain the huge glass panels.
Glazed windows are a cost effective way of managing the trade offs of the light needs of the people inside and heating the air inside. Steel, glass, and concrete, are affordable and reliable if not the ideal materials, by using dark elements in conjunction with large glass panels you can create a quick heating effect of the sun on the air through the glass, and a slower radiation of heat off of the dark concrete and metal element. That's why the glass panels are not as bad as you probably think they are. It's just a viable option that fits within the ven diagram of the building's specific needs and budget.
@@rio425eeglass and steel affordable?! ...where do you live in, in Croatia it was already expensive and from last year cost went skyrocket, i don't think its affordable its just modern architects are unable to work with any other material.
@@JM2909 hey look I found the guy who has never built any large commercial or civic buildings. /s But....Yes steel frame buildings are much more affordable for large office style buildings like this because their price to performance, and change the cost mathematics is a number of different ways you just aren't considering because you have never worked in the industry, like reducing the labor costs significantly, speeding up building time by using precision machined prefabricated beams, allowing you to better utilize the build space and other ways it dramatically changes the overall cost of the final project. These build decisions are not done in a vacuum, and consideration is given to factors you won't think to consider because you don't have relevant knowledge or experience, and just haven't taken the time to become meaningfully informed on the complexity, you are taking an isolated piece of knowledge that you know (steel is fucking EXPENSIVE AS HELL) and over extrapolating it to something with many many factors of which the correct fact you know is only one small component of. If they cost more than they gained benefits from steel, glass, concrete buildings would not be even a fraction as widespread as they are, they got to the point they are because they meet the needs of a wide variety of use cases, and work with the budgets that allow them to be common place, and not occasional extravagances.
Concrete or anything that looks like it, generally looks much better when you can't see it because it's hidden inside a wall. But yeah, whatever that hideous monstrosity is made off it looks awful. Look at those massive metal beams on the inside too? Right by the windows to obstruct people's offices and furniture. That's so unnecessary. If only we'd come up with some kind of column like object that could support buildings and made that sort of thing irrelevant.
That's the point. When you build at more extreme latitudes both north and south, dark buildings become more practical to capture that heat for the greater part of the year where it is needed most, over lighter more colorful buildings that don't gain those passive benefits. Building a pretty city shouldn't come at the cost of a practical and less wasteful city that becomes prohibitively expensive to live in because of its bad design. That doesn't make cities better or more livable, that's just catering to the aesthetic sensibilities of some over the NEEDS of the many.
The best colour for buildings is light blue and purple....Yellow could enforce the sadness...full red agression.... Light red (rosa, cyclam) and fresh orange could be an option
These buildings are "cool" because they look like the kind of building you'd see in Hell. We'll have to tear them down one day when the world wakes up.
I love 70s concrete architecture! And that's the thing, this channel constantly uses the argunent for beauty, which if grat, but then it narrows the meaning of beauty to simply the reproduction of styles, but beauty is much deeper then that and can be found in modern buildings and also in 70s blocks. Their concept of beauty is reductive (and conservative)
What are you talking about?!?!?! That's not an ugly building and dark buildings are EXACTLY what you need in cold climates because they are more cost and energy efficient. What an utterly backwards concept to sacrifice real meaningful functionality because you INCORRECTLY think they are ugly. It's foolishness. And damages the respect the movement of making better smarter more environmentally and people friendly cities is trying so hard to earn. Calling this perfectly looking building ugly and then showing buildings that don't look particularly great and referring to them as beautiful simply because they are colorful is so backwards and makes all of us look like fools. Please stop using these awful talking points and ad hominems, all it's doing degrading sentiment of our movements.
A majority of people think it is ugly and it is not functional with ugly dark buildings. If black color would have been useful it would have been used in history.
The majority of people are too dumb to realize how dumb they are and spend the majority of their lives being confidently wrong about subjects they form opinions on based entirely on surface information, so I'm not overly concerned with their opinions on aesthetic beauty vs economical and functional needs of building design. And you are wrong those design choices were the deciding factor of it being a dark colored steel framed building instead of some colorful revival architecture style, the functionality and economic needs of the matter more in the context of the design choices the architects made, because those kind of decisions are not made in an isolated bubble of what people consider to be subjectively more aesthetic. There is a lot of actually ugly architecture trends that serve zero function that you should focus on, instead of dying on the "perfectly fine looking practically designed building, is ugly because I prefer when buildings are painted in pastel colors" hill. It's the argument of a deeply subnormal brain.
Well ugly buildings do seem to have a significant impact on people’s mental health as well as the money that tourism would bring if cities were more beautiful
Yes, ugly buildings do, frank gehery style buildings, what he is calling ugly buildings aren't ugly though they are just built to be practical and he prefers pastel to dark. And the benefits of practical design are more important than subjective taste preferences of morons. The types of buildings that have been shown to have a negative impact on residents mental health are not the types of building shown in this video and even then the effects are minor compared to more important factors like the income inequality and high cost of living residents deal with. It's a bad faith argument, motte and bailey horse shit that should be called out for what it is...
The problem is architects who only care about buildings looking good in their portfolio, next to pictures of all their other creations around the world. We need architects who care about whether buildings look good in the context in which they are built.

Black gothic buildings are my favorite
It’s gruesome!
Wouldn't dark buildings be useful in Scandinavia for absorbing more heat into the building?
Maybe, they use it because Mies van der Rohe was from Scandinavia, so local architects supported his style with enthusiasm.
I hate modern buildings they are boring ans have no character or class. Architects are a bizzare alien race
I wouldn't call Ghery's architecture particularly boring.
And not only in Scandinavia. Same applies to Canada and other northern countries.
