Modernists and CIAM in particular have so much to answer for. We will be living with and trying undo the wilful mistakes they wrought on our built environment for generations to come.
Can't believe this video hasn't got that many likes, your voice is very soothing to listen to and the content is presented in a great and interesting way. Keep it up!
I really dislike their approach to urban planning. The separation of spaces, with different functions, is really harmful, you don't need a shopping district, a living district etc. A district for healthy industry is justifiable, but mixed use neighborhoods are way more practical for every day life. In addition, their focus on cars and car centric infrastructure, instead of trains and walkable neighborhoods, really destroyed a healthy and sustainable way of life.
Modern architecture proposal had a lot to do with the dire effects of war, solving that with functionality was a big necessity thus forgetting about beauty and expressionism. Modern architecture became ugly. That’s why people nowadays relate beautiful architecture only with the past. With the new tools we have, we ought to create a beautiful and expressionist architecture once again.
Honestly, I really appreciate this video. It clearly shows how in depth research has been put up by you! CIAM is was an EVENT in Archtectural History globally. Unfortunately, many architects are not aware about it, even though each and every one has used the work established as a result of this.
These documentaries are great. Thanks. I was an architectural student At Cornell from 1967-1972. One year, the University invited members of Team X, which was more accurately called “Team Ten”. I’ll need to do some research on their history to see if they were the same folks as the group at CIAM. They included many European luminaries, very loosely related. I was not aware of their CIAM connection, possibly because during that year my personal studies were only peripheral to the Team 10 studio. Thanks for your efforts.
I just looked up Team 10 on Wikipedia. They were your Team X. Here’s a bit from Wikipedia: “Team 10 had a fluid membership yet a core group actively organized the various meetings, which consisted of Alison and Peter Smithson, Jaap Bakema, Aldo van Eyck, Georges Candilis, Shadrach Woods, and Giancarlo De Carlo.[1] Other members included Ralph Erskine, Daniel van Ginkel, Pancho Guedes, Geir Grung, Oskar Hansen, Reima Pietilä, Charles Polonyi, Brian Richards, Jerzy Sołtan, Oswald Mathias Ungers, John Voelcker, and Stefan Wewerka.[1]” O. M. Ungers was Chatman of Cornell’s Department of Architecture. The lectures by the Team 10 members were great.
Thank you ! Very interesting video , because I didn't know about this congres, their purpose ,their evolution .. .it really helps to understand the pocess . 🤗😀
This was an outstanding documentary. It had my attention the entire time. Your editing and story telling it 10/10. I'm surprised it does not have more views and likes. Nonetheless. Outstanding job!!
Urban planning issues and theories are in flux at this particular point in time. The need for innovative solutions is even more important when faced with climate change, political turmoil and the re-definition of the City, in light of the new technological evolution of AI. Travel...is no longer the driving force of access and the pattern of 'a living city'. New models will surely adapt themselves to the economic challenge of reduced resources. We must project ourselves into the future...to understand the options before us. Thanks for your comprehensive research and discussions ...'the Future' awaits our ideas...and inspirations.
I loved it .. this documentary opened up somuch debates and perspectives in this already complex work or ideas .. I think modernism was and is an era which created this shift in paradime and after that everything became subjective.. from making the walls in brick,bamboo , concrete or steel all approaches are backed by strong individual ideas ... I think is how it actually should be, because this is what brings diversity in the work and culture .
The problem with celebrity status architects is that their influence becomes dogmatic (Le Corbusier). It feels like the consensus around architecture today is more about the ego of the artist rather than the occupants and society at large. Throw in politics and capitalism and people are no longer a part of the equation at all. Modern urban planning and architecture has made us more distant as a society and I hope that paradigm shifts in favour of the people (eventually lol).
The dogmatism of Charles Edouard Jeanneret should be celebrated. Egoism is only a side story. The triumphs of Le Corbusier led to an awakening of modernism, which continues to this day. Monsieur is the father of existential minimalism.
@@alainriviere7950 Corb was a sexist, anti semetic, fascist. Why should we celebrate him at all besides a few minor contributions that were blow out of proportion and exaggerated due to his made up untouchable status.
Without question a very complex series of both historic and contemporary events with unfortunately no clear pathway or resolution. Much of what was discussioned and argued at the inception of CIAM is still relevent today. Are we as architects and city planners any more informed or knowledgable than before or after the disasterous events of WW2? Yes and no! I leave it to a younger generation of city planners to decide how to proceed and hopefully move forward in this electronic age.
Thank you so much. Honestly a lot of the sub movements from modernism were quite contrary to the mainstream modernism, I will have a video on this and also the Bauhaus soon.
@@blessedarchit is said that Kabiguru Rabindranath Tagore extended the Bauhaus movement in India. Specially in bishwabharati. Eagerly Waiting for your next video. Can you make a series about classical Indian architecture?
So, a bunch of socialist and marxist architects got together to decide how to destroy beauty in the 20th century, and left us with the horror show of modern architecture. Good to know. I will do some digging into these folks. Thanks for the heads up, BA.

This was such an experience.. such research, edit and presentation. You did it exceptionally well. I'm a fan!

You'd have to be crazy to believe that we don't build anything beautiful anymore
@ I’m into it. But mainly it’s all shoeboxes. At least here in Latin America.

yes, (as an architect), I knew a bit about it, but this summary is superb
Thank you I am glad you liked it 😀
This video is a cinematic masterpiece for architecture documentary..
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for bringing this extraordinary history to light!
You are welcome. I am glad you liked the video.

Thank you for sharing that.
What excellent crib notes - I should have already known, I do now --- thank you!
Amazing video! Being an Architect and set designer, I find this video a very interesting in the way it’s narrated and presented. Kudos to you!
Great work man! The research work was on point👏
Thank you !
Very interesting video , because I didn't know about this congres, their purpose ,their evolution ..
.it really helps to understand the pocess . 🤗😀
Hey thank you. I am glad you enjoyed the video
Such a wonderful video. Giving extra credit to your narration, its phenomenal...

Again wonderfull documentary video.... thanks bro..
The information in this video is excellent. But technically ... what are the crashing sounds occurring throughout?
This was an outstanding documentary. It had my attention the entire time. Your editing and story telling it 10/10. I'm surprised it does not have more views and likes. Nonetheless. Outstanding job!!
Fantastic video. Tremendous amount of work pays off here.
Thank you so much ❤️

Thankyou
You're great, better than boring and uneducated teacher now have in college, keep doing
Thank you so much 😃
A most informative and enjoyable documentary
This was great, loved every bit of it.
Thanks for introducing me to Minette da Silva
Great Documentary..
Thank You
Excellent! Would like to explore where CIAM left off and the UN processes started.
I loved it .. this documentary opened up somuch debates and perspectives in this already complex work or ideas ..

thanks I really needed this
thank a lot...
I don't get why they met in a medieval castle with so much ornamentation if they hated it so much?
I wanna agree with you on that one but this is a modernist channel. Its basically controversial to talk about traditionalism and classicism. 😅😅

...awesomeness 🥸🥸
Your contents are very high quality.. ❤❤ Bauhaus movement and CIAM may contradict each other..

make a documentary on Architect Mazharul Islam and Critical Regionalism.
1:58 you mean devoid of ornamentation
❤
Minnette de Silva was an internationally recognised architect, considered the pioneer of the modern architectural style in Sri Lanka 😍

Minette de Silva
I like the document, but i still hate modernism
29:52 Good luck with that video whenever you feel ready to dive into it as this is always a controversial topic 😆
Haha I know that one is gonna take so much more work and be quite divisive i think.
@@blessedarch I'm looking forward to it!
BRO HOW MANY ADDS DO U WANT TO IMPLEMENT? 100? not subbed because of this
who is that lady in saree??
Minnette de silva
Hi
Can you make video on Norman foster
Will surely make one soon
So, a bunch of socialist and marxist architects got together to decide how to destroy beauty in the 20th century, and left us with the horror show of modern architecture. Good to know. I will do some digging into these folks. Thanks for the heads up, BA.
Bunch of people who uglified the world
