Hi, i've been watching your videos for some time now and i just want to give you some credit for the quality of the content you've been producing. As an architecture student, your videos helped me alot with understanding certain principles and having the closest experience i can have to visiting a building while staying at home. I really hope you keep uploading stuff, your videos are amazing.
Thanks again for your high quality and informative work for those classic modern masterpiece. I hope could visit there in near future. Mies is really an avant-garde who forsee the minimal trend of modern life. He can dig out the essence of classic and modern technology. The most interesting is his work seems so accurate, rational, made by metal, glass and stone in perfect technology, as simple as a storage box, those seems would be boring, inhumane, robot, engineer construction but they are on the contrary, so romantic, elegant and flashing like a diamond.
That's totally right, and partly what I like. The buildings "mask" themselves, and trick the untrained eye to think these are just cold "boxy" spaces, where they are much more!
Another amazing detail is that the vertical partitions in the side of the roof reference the Altes Museum by Schinkel. So here Mies again bridges klassizism and his modernism
I really like your videos and I hope you keep going. Two things. One is a loose idea, then some suggestions. I feel like it is so extreme that even normies see this on social media. White cement facades / black (thin) windows have come a long way since Bauhaus. Now merely an aesthetic so disconnected from its origins that it is used to cover all kinds of existing building. This results in poorly renovated facades that loose all charm and have nothing to do with Bauhaus or the wish to create good housing stock cheaply for the masses. It would be funny if it wasn't so bad. How did this aesthetic transform itself so much in 100 years from hated to loved by the mainstream? Now some suggestions. I really think you would get your ideas better across, by giving some of your images more time to stay on the screen so that the visual ideas translate. I also really think you should have English subtitles inserted into youtube so you can flip them on. Your models are great. You should spend more time in them, again giving your audience time to familiarise with all the information. Take them through the space while showing where we are and some of the time when relevant, show the direction we are looking. Like say in the corner when the shot begins. I wish you success!
Hey Cafodk! - Thanks for the feedback! Regarding that disconnection between the window frames and style/movement...I think we've seen so much from that in Architecture, that it should hurt - but it does! A meaningless desire for aesthetics. Its a pity, in general. But I will keep happening. Our best opportunity is try to change that, into something better! Regarding the shots and the length of them, well noted! Adding some diagram showing the direction, and what I'm showing is something I already had thought of. Great to see this is something that could help understand the spaces better. I´ll try to add more context to the next videos!
@@FourthWallArchitecture If you haven't already you should consider checking out the movies Drive My Car and Columbus by Kogonada. Architectural spaces play important roles in these movies that depend on the mood they create. The cinematography and the edits are exceptionally well done, with both full of ideas of how to portray architectural spaces in relation to humans, light, and nature. Oh and Saarinen's Miller House is of course exceptional!

Really enjoyed this one, and I appreciate the in-depth approach. Looking forward to more videos like this!
Thanks for your information review of Mies architecture which is very useful for my students of design in Bogotá.

Do the columns measure 87cm x 87cm at the base or at the top? They are tapered.
At the top! 🙂
Great video. Thanks!
Amazing video Bruno, thank you so much for your work!
Thank you AC!
Thanks for bringing interesting and informative content to architecture dummies like me! 👌👌
you say amazing things but you sound angry and stressed. why?
Masterpiece with tons of thermal bridges ❤
I am still looking for the next episode
he was born in 1886 not 1896 😂
