Excellent lecture - the story unfolds in away and with detail most textbooks don’t match. Weather you’re in the profession or not, it will make the experience of walking through NYC a much richer experience.
Stumbled across this video and am glad I did. Never in a millions years would I imagine I could be captivated by a presentation on NYC architecture, but Francis Marrone drew me in and I was hooked. I particularly enjoyed learning how women impacted the styles of the early 20th Century. I had no idea! Good job also to whoever edited this, for keeping it visually interesting. I am a video editor, and I know that's not easy when the subject is a lecture.
Thanks for the lively, informative, passionate lecture. Im reading The Golden House, obsessed with architecture and city planning from this era in New York. Hope to get there one day..might faint like a newly arrived pilgrim in Constantinople, overwhelmed.
I watched through this fantastic lecture but it seems to end abruptly and incompletely. Is there more? Please update if possible!! Mr. Morrone mentions Art Deco, but never gets to it, and the building in the last slide shown while the audience claps is the Chrysler Building, but he never mentions it. I was so into this content and now I'm feeling at a loss for the ending!
Mrs Vanderbilt downsized, Using an in vogue term. Can anyone clarify as to to whether she sold the Breakers in Newport, RI ? Might be nowadays , she would have diversified into Real Estate Development. True fact, I know she spent a oretty penny decorating the Breakers , always on a race to up her rivals on Newport.
This is a shame, this is a fasinating lecture but no one had the sense to tell this man that he needs to speak into the micraphone! Well you can hear half of each sentence.
Not his fault. That's on the sound person. Wrong type of microphone for this sort of presentation. That's a Shure mic intended for direct speech, straight in. What knuckleheaded crew person points it to the side?? They had the money, had the time, and chose a crap mic which they then set up wrong. WORSE: He has a lapel mic on, and yet they chose to use the audio from the podium mic. What???
In those days society ladies where courages! Going to France working in Hospices and hospitals... would society lady’s today do the same? I doubt it very much....
He reminds me in a way of the public speeches made by the Reverend Farrakhan, given how he emphasizes intonations in his sentences. I like it anyways. He is well schooled , knowledgeable, delivers with clarity, has an excellent narrative. The swaying is a bit excessive , but I can live with it.
I would love to sit down and chat with Francis. I can imagine the stories he tells with such passion.
Fabulous presentation. One of my favorite Presenters! Thank you for your vitality & intellectual wit!

I don’t know why I’m here but I’m here
Is the lecture truncated?
That's what I want to know! It ends abruptly!

Alva and William K. Vanderbilt divorced way before this. She married Belmont.

Ted Mosby brought me here
🦉
it was kind of annoying all the overly performance with the hands and movements of the lecturer
Yes. Impossible to listen to.
the audio / mic isnt suitable for his movement
✋✋✋✋✋
like it but this presenter is over doing it ...hes not bad dont get me wrong but over doing it
Is he trying to hide a nervous tick and a speech impediment? Serious question.
If you don't have a nervous tick, don't consider yourself an interesting person
He is so disagreeable to watch...
This guy is unbearable !

Completely disagree. OP obviously just hasn’t been so excited/ educated on a topic the info is bursting out the seams.
Cool to see but NYC is still a place I have no love for.
