As a student really interesting to hear of some great architects to research
Make sure you get old of drawings (plans and sections) and study them. Imagine yourself in them or moving through them.
I agree
Great video, thank you Kevin and Andrew feels like talking with friends about architecture. Congrats
Thanks Aritz. Glad you liked it and hope you are well. Loving your analytical drawings of your Oiza designed townhouse.
@@Archimarathon thank you Kevin, everything ok here. Hope it's also ok for you.
Yeah we are fine. Lockdown mode means I can’t make new footage, can’t go on tour and makes even filming the conversations between myself and Andrew difficult.
This video makes me so happy. I’ve always loved thoughtful architecture, and moved to Brisbane in 2003.
Watching the city change from 2003 to now has been quite amazing.
I loved QAG when I first visited in 2000 (yayoi kusama’s ‘narcissus garden’ was in the watermall at that time), but the opening of GOMA, and the re-envisioning of the State Library were just breathtaking.
I particularly love the experience of walking through 19 James street - such a thoughtful creation of public space :)
It’s so fascinating to finally know the background of these wonderful buildings I see walking through the city every week (normally!). Thank you!!
Thank you for your detailed comment/story. Have you checked out TRI ?
14:34 D House by Timothy Hill 2000 is just pure genius ... spent a day researching this house :-)
so many layers ... complex yet has all the essentials integrated so compactly ... that"s just pure skill ;-)
... truly overlooked brisbane having such good work ... but not anymore thanks to archimarathon! :-)
Thanks MrPelikan500. I am glad we made a difference. I think D House is 2000 but yes, Timothy lived there in one of the rooms and is friends with the owner. Apparently he tinkers and builds new things so yeah, it’s an on-going project in a way.
Brisbane is onto something unique in contemporary architecture. I love the work of John Ellway. The work of Donovan Hill is new to me but equally interesting, There are definitely some innovations that explore fundamental lessons from the past and innovations that are being made to enrich. The efforts to blend the landscape into the structure, and to express the structure clearly through exposed timber, post & beam. There is of course the luxury of a mild climate there, that those of us living in Seattle, for example, can't quite enjoy in the same way, but certainly, some ideas are applicable and useful to inspire better design. Thanks for this tour and I appreciate your work and the talented group of designers working in Brisbane!
We hope to be able to do a more detailed tour episode(s) in person soon
Glad to finally see BRISVEGAS on video!!
Architecture in Brisbane truly embraces its climate and sub-tropical lifestyle, which also enable more flexibility in terms of spatial connectivity and blurring boundaries/the line between the indoor and the outdoor.
Also I am also intrigued to hear that architecture in Brisbane is borrowing different architectural elements because I had never thought about it that way - first impression when the Calile was unveiled "oh thats....different, but still somewhat suits the context and is making things a little more exciting" - I think it broadened the imagination of what could happen with the architectural language in Brisbane.
I think I definitely have taken our public spaces for granted(I live in Brisbane btw) - now that im trapped inside the house, seeing these footages of Southbank made me realise how good we had it.
Yeah the Calile is very retro 70s chic. I could picture it as some film set for a movie set in the 70s. I don’t know why the movie Munich keeps coming into my head. Something in the more liberal days of some progressive Middle East city.
Also as you said, it’s not called Brisvegas for nothing.
@@Archimarathon wish i could double like this comment
@@Archimarathon i must say richard spence has reinvented and reimagined James street pretty well - definitely some enjoyable public space to be in
Yes that part of Fortitude Valley is pretty much Richards and Spence Town.
Fantastic insight into Brisbane architecture I have also enjoyed my visits over the years truely great spaces as you have both highlighted thanks again for sharing!
Thank you. Please share with your students
Yes, Brisbane is fab. And some of the best views of the TRI are from a distance...from a train or the south west when the late afternoon sun hits the copper coloured facade. The way it has been designed to work as a research institute is well worth understanding. DHouse remains the holy grail for Brisbane Open House... I've never been able to get in to see it!
Hoping to do a detailed episode on that at some point
Love this episode despite not a proper architour video. Such an important lesson to learn about human experiences from the inside, not just visual from the outside. I believe many would slowly begin to understand the importance of spatial quality and human experiences over a hero external appearance of a building, especially when everyone is now staying at home looking out during this social distancing period :). Brisbane really grows in me, maybe I should move there.
Yes I think in this Instagram age, there are too many armchair critics, “liking” images they see rather than going there to find out. Brisbane I find, for the uninitiated, is a hard sell.
@@Archimarathon Would you also do one for each Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Tasmania etc.. Would be interested to see the general differences between the cities/states.
Might consider that.
Wow! Australia is on the go!....beutiful the house integrated with gardens and reflected pools!!....around here (South Florida) only r pools and gardens outside....too hot and too many mosquitos!!! Lol!
Thanks for the video, good info!...and Yes climate is one of the big keys!
well brissy is next on the visit list
Make sure you do your research first.
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Great memories.. Awesome insights on the public and inside-outside relationships. How about the traditional Brisbane house being elevated from the ground as a flood mitigation strategy, or did I miss that part?
PS: Seidler 4ever!
We did have a conversation explaining Queenslander Houses typology but that got cut from the final edit as the video was getting way too long.
I'm not sure about the pole platform construction emerging as a flood mitigation strategy...just as likely it was a viable way of building on massive hillsides( Paddington/ Red Hill) and for a hot climate where under the house was used for all manner of activities (everywhere else)
In the short time that I recently spent there, approximately 3 hours and mainly along the Southbank area I instantly felt that Brisbane has a completely different vibe to Melbourne and Sydney. Understandably each city has its own identity and culture, and I felt that Brisbane was more laid back and more tropical. A much calmer sense of place.
Any thoughts on Adelaide or Perth? I've heard good things from some 'non-architecture' friends
Yes we might have to do some more digging and do some episodes on those cities too.
Why not do Adelaide's architecture , Adelaide is often described as Australia's most beautiful city, there are probably the most old beautiful buildings that are well preserved in Australia, as it was a rich city for non convicts to settle. Pls do Adelaide
I'm swiss (30 yo), studied architecture at ETH Zurich and had my own practice for a while and built 2 houses. I wanna move to Australia to work and see the land for 1-5 years. Would you recommend Brisbane the most then?
Well I am biased towards living in Melbourne personally and that’s why we live here. I don’t know about the employment scene in Brisbane currently to comment.
Santos place though
Good call. My shots were shonky as I was worried the security guard would kick us out. Also it’s extremely hard to depict in film as you know.
For sure! Very right about Donovan Hill paying as much attention to detail in their larger public works and their houses - maintaining the human scale
Check out David Neustein’s article (link in description).
cheers i was going to ask what the article was. Couldn't find it at first
I'll have to see it for myself to believe it.. maybe their architecture is great, shame about their driving skills.
Not as bad as Andrew’s driving in the gaming episode
well brissy is next on the visit list
