Factual error after 35:00 in the description of why red is important in representing Russian identity, very disappointing in this level of a speaker. It is true that red is a very important color for Russian identity. It is not, however, because of the factory in Kiev, dating 19th century, and not because of the British uniforms. The tradition of using red in Russian folk costume, utensils, interior fabrics and as decorative elements of exterior of wooden buildings is way older than 19th century, many centuries older. There are many examples from both southern and northern Russia to prove that. This tradition is so old in fact, that it is reflected in the language itself. In Russian "beautiful" - красивый is derived from the word "red" - красный. Makes me think what other types of factual information is carelessly misrepresented by the speaker in a similar manner.
That “mansplaining” about Russian red was both egregiously wrong, as you explain, and egregiously self congratulatory. Is this abysmal the level of narcissistic FAKE scholarship that Harvard produces ? Sheesh.
Do yourself a favor and begin watching at 5:48. The guy's introduction is an excruciating example of "More is a snore". Longest 5 hours, er - minutes in memory.Sheesh!
He talks about the style of designs that cost no money. The stereotype of interior design is that it's expensive, like hiring somebody to help you pick a good brand of caviar.
Cambridge, MA can get cold and it can take time for interior spaces to catch up. Personally, I wear a down vest under everything, from mid October forward.
I don’t think the down vest is about climate. It’s a design statement. His interiors are just as weirdly eclectic. The audience isn’t bundled up. I lived nearby and did grad work at Harvard over several winters, and no one needed to dress like that indoors.
Only halfway+ done, but jeez do I need inspiration, and do I find it in an historically and architecturally trained designer. One who nearly brought me to tears contemplating the near infinity possibility of ever hiring him, and forced me once again to contemplate the stepwise manner in which my artist designer family systematically extinguished my aesthetic inclinations. Also, he made me laugh- not so easy to do-and made me truly hope the students, professors, and architects in the room can relocate their sense of humor.
As to the critique below, he still knows way more than I ever will, and maybe he took inspiration from the textiles he learned about and used red in that manner.
Harvard GSD needs a new A/V guy badly. Just listen to that mic, it's unbearable. A school like that should have a perfectionist running the A/V at these events. I mean how much are they paying the speaker to be there and then they sound like hell.
all interior designers no matter how good they seem have some projects we don't like. I think this david netto guy has quite some gorgeous works, the ones I dont like that much are just unappealing, it dont think they come off as "cheap"
As a production designer I loved his talk. It was so personal just like good design.
Suddenly racism exists when it’s convenient for you right wingers 🙄
Books and lectures as references but Experience is the best design teacher

Thank you for the clarification. Even to my untrained ears the information sounded too pat. Colonialist revision.

Cant take this guy seriously w the way he’s dressed
Great work explaining this designs. Exceptionally interesting.
He talks about the style of designs that cost no money. The stereotype of interior design is that it's expensive, like hiring somebody to help you pick a good brand of caviar.
It is but it is also a space for luxury
Hä. He has no clue about small rooms most people especially in cities live in. of course it's about money and rich people
Great examples here! thank you for this. I wish i went an interior design school though. Too late for me now.
Not too late.
Never too late! I am going to start next year and I’m 40!
I'm eleven, I'm planning
Why too late?
Cambridge, MA can get cold and it can take time for interior spaces to catch up. Personally, I wear a down vest under everything, from mid October forward.
me too, several layers from dec 1
Wow didn’t notice! You would think it would be a bit warmer indoors
I don’t think the down vest is about climate. It’s a design statement. His interiors are just as weirdly eclectic. The audience isn’t bundled up. I lived nearby and did grad work at Harvard over several winters, and no one needed to dress like that indoors.
Was this lecture held in a freezer?
Yes. That's what they do there.
oh my lawwdd!!!! hahahahaha
😏
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It could’ve been funny, but why overheat when you can wear a jacket ?
Great, thank you!

This was great!
Super good.thank you!!
This is good.
I wish you good luck if you are looking for inspiration to design your own is very professionals are the best because they do an outstanding job.
Likewise
Character and space.....📓✏
Professor Hildebrand is so cliche and just loves to hear himself talk.
What da hell does he have on…red bubble jacket under a suit? 😳. Did I miss a fashion memo???!!!
I get really cold. Maybe he does too.
Great stuff
Wow - turning down the lights on this talk was a huge disservice to us watching on You Tube. It makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Thank uu
very contrived.

indeed very poor quality. like a cheap magazine.
🙏
How can I take a guy who wears a down vest under his sport coat seriously?????
A: Trick Question. You can't.
Just listen.
I get a sense that these guys forget that people need homes. People bring histories, objects etc not interested in the rules of modern design. Weird
David is not trying too hard to be fashionable. OK? Just get that out of your mind and focus on the content.
@RakeRocter lmao and mostly that
O, ok 🤭
This guy is showing a lot of stuff but has no focus.
this guy is great in techniques and design but not good in decoration.They all look cheap
all interior designers no matter how good they seem have some projects we don't like. I think this david netto guy has quite some gorgeous works, the ones I dont like that much are just unappealing, it dont think they come off as "cheap"
Wtf is this guy wearing
Some of this stuff is ok. Most of it is just a mess.
lmao
In the dark, so bizarre! Interior designer? Very disheveled looking individual!
