6 Architects: Building in New York
Вставка

- Six celebrated architects, including Bjarke Ingels, Liz Diller and Daniel Libeskind, here talk about what it’s like to build architecture that both matters and works in the iconic city of New York - from Ground Zero to The High Line.
“A building should not look like Lady Gaga,” says American architect Robert A.M. Stern (b. 1939), who feels that the city is made up of background and foreground buildings, and that it is important to learn how to let the buildings work together instead of isolating them.
Danish architect Bjarke Ingels (b. 1974) stresses how important it is to care about and understand the people one is designing for: “Architects need to re-insert architecture as something that people are interested in - not just architects - something that is important for society.”
“In a sense it was a non-site without ground to stand on.” American architect and founding partner of Snøhetta, Craig Dykers (b. 1961), talks about the challenging experience of building the 9/11 Memorial Museum Pavilion at Ground Zero.
According to American architect Thom Mayne (b. 1944), architecture is essentially “a way of thinking, exploring, inventing, making and participating in the world.”
American architect Liz Diller (b. 1954) discusses her fascinating project The High Line, which is a public park built on a historic freight rail line elevated plus 30 feet above the streets of Manhattan’s West Side.
“People stopped me: ‘Thank you Mr. Libeskind. You delivered what you promised’. They didn’t say anything else. They shook my hand. I thought that was the best compliment I could get.” Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind (b. 1946) shares his personal story of getting to work on such a poignant project as Ground Zero.

Don't bury the Empire State Building in a jungle of other tall buildings.
I visited New York for my first time in December of 2016 for New Years...I brought in 2017 Under The Big Apple ...I hope to visit again❤️
"building should not look like lady gaga" lmaffo
"buildings should not look like Lady Gaga", lol
that was fantastic lol
I think all buildings should look like Lady Gaga.
beenay18 No they shouldn't
Some architects are so full of themselves.
That was nice. Haven't seen 'HighLine' yet. Should really help to get people above the distractions of the street. And with greenery rather than concrete jungles and need to stay alert. Needing to address density and livability can now be quality decisions rather than economic. . . with today's multitudinous construction possibilities.
The youngest architect who ever built a building in NYC.......he built the GNB building.
Modern architecture is horrendous and that includes the buildings in this video. As Prince Charles said, "Modern architecture did more damage to London than the Germans during the war." That statement is very true for all cities around the world.
When I hear architects talk about architecture, I release the safety cap on my xanax bottle
what is the music around 0:55. I heard it before.

What he meant by it should not look like lady gaga, AA
"buildings should not look like Lady Gaga", well they should not look ugly and boring either.
It depends, not boring but if they have a metric and a logic they made more sense in a city, like a residential building shouldn't stand up versus a public building. (In my opinion) we should always respect "our neighbors" that being in the form and on how tall it is.
Lady Gaga IS ugly and boring.
The only buildings people remember are the "Lady Gaga" buildings. Modernist architects are so arrogant. They are the reason for urban banality. Less is not more. It is less. Boring cookie cutter buildings that no one remembers.
Too bad Libeskind wasn't able to complete his vision of the World Trade Center site.
