      The NY theme is beaten to death. They better move to Europe and cover cities there, instead. Especially since almost every architecture piece of note in NY is inspired by the European architecture.

    If you haven't already done it, I'd love to see a history of NY industrial loft spaces. I remember seeing some amazing, hardscrabble spaces in Dumbo which I think were being squatted at. Now all the lofts are crazy expensive, but back in the 1970's and '80's you could get vast spaces for cheap.

    AD - thank you for funding Wyetzner and crew. They may not garner the amount of views as other AD videos but these have much more significance. Don't stop this style of production. I also like the humble film making style not to many bells and whistle's, when the content is the main focus you dont need that fancy stuff. Theres a lot to digest (pardon the pun) in these videos so slow the pacing a bit so the info can be absorbed.

    Thank you for this, really enjoyed it - living in Edinburgh I'm used to the idea of walking past many centuries-worth of different architecture, but when I think of Manhattan, although I would have thought of Victorian-era townhouses I had no idea some older ones like the Burr and Hamilton ones still survived in modern Manhattan, so that was rather lovely to find out!

  • @timward3116
    @timward3116 7 місяців тому +3

    Great video. Sad to see so much brutal brutalism, though, wedge between nice older buildings. I worked in a massive brutalist state building that was brutally depressing. After awhile, it takes a toll on you emotionally. They lack anything to lift the spirit but their brutalism sits like an anvil on the soul..

    That modernist architecture was so futuristic that a person born 8 DECADES later couldn't easily tell it wasn't contemporary. I hope someone today is designing something so futuristic that people in the 2100s think it was built in the 2090s.
    Also the 27 floor level 3 story penthouse is basically the answer to "what if a building was made entirely of trip hazards".

    I love all of your videos, Mr. Wyetzner! I would love to see some of the mansions built between 1889 and 1935, and between 1935 and 1982. Modernism has become more fashionable in the past 20 years so I understand your desire to skip some of the other architectural styles NYC is known for. We need all the favorable opinions of Modernist architecture as possible so we continue being able to enjoy them in person! As an architectural historian, I really enjoy your walking tours and breakdowns of different styles. I hate to point out an error in one of the text boxes on screen when each mansion's style and build date is shown but also hate to have incorrect information out there. The Kramer House was built in 1935; however, the text box says 1918. If Architectural Digest decides to expand these walking tours to different cities, I'm available for San Diego!!

    The problem with those later "row' homes is that the facade is mostly one dimensional. It can never be a full symphony. Granted, the interiors may brilliantly make use of the light and space play, they are still 'one trick ponies'.
