Great video. I.M. Pei’s buildings are a true scar on the face of whatever city is unfortunate enough to house them. Truly sad that building is on our National Mall.
I appreciate this run-down and elaboration on buildings that I see regularly and enjoy, not just for what they contain but also for their visual presence and what they represent about man and God.
I had read somewhere that the eschewing of ornamentation for The National Gallery of Art (West Building) was in recognition that, at it's size, had it featured much in the way of relief, pillars, recesses etc., it would have competed with, and perhaps visually surpassed the capitol--which has a smaller, albeit more prominently placed footprint. I think you are revealing an unfortunate trait of some architects where focus in exclusively paid to the building as a singular expression without regard to its neighbors and context. But Pope and Pei were quite mindful of the placement of their buildings. Across the Avenue, you will notice that the Candandian Embassy does a find job of taking cues from both the West and East Buildings and combing the respective themeless masterfully. Buildings that disregard context and placement are arrogant buildings--and, yes, sometimes that is the point.
We have similar brick townhomes in Old City, Philadelphia. The first US capital. Wonder how Philly would look if it was always the capital or it moved then came back
Exactly, the simplest medium to attain prosperity is to allow your money work for you, Don't just stay there and watch others making it really big, also set up your own investment so you can also make huge profit as the saying goes "NO RISK"; NO REWARD "
I agree with ya, investment, trading is a lucrative way of making money but most people can't see this while some are just trying their luck as if it was a casino
I've knew this for so long that's why I invested into assets like cryptocurrencies and some other stocks but at a time I think crypto investment is better than stocks. Though I failed sometimes ago when I tried trading myself but Mr. bright helps me now
With Jūrgen's guidance and teachings I've learnt not to sell in a panic when everything goes down and not to buy in euphoria when everything goes up, I advice y'all to forget prediction and start making a good profit now because future valuations are all speculations and guesses. The market is very unstable and cannot tell if is going bearish or bullish while myself and others are trading without fear of making a lose while others are being patient for the price to skyrocket, it all depends on the pattern you follow and the one handling your trades, I'm surprised seeing a comment about Jürgen really he's an honest and the best crypto trader
@@michellegeraldine9372 If I hadn''t met him I would have lost both my money and my interest in crypto trading.. Jurgen you're really one of the best out there 🥺
So we are just not going to talk about the National Museum of African American History, the newest building on the mall? But when he chose to sugarcoat that Slaves built the White House (not enslaved laborers) I knew what was up.
It's sad that videos of celebrity homes got millions of view (which is why AD keeps making them), and yet an enlightening, educational and insightful videos like these are less popular. I hope AD keeps making these type of quality videos.
A very intelligent and literate look at architectural details in D.C. You should do a video on the Pension Building and the Columbia Historical Society as well as the classic foreign embassies.
Informative detail. Unfortunately ClosedCaptioning required because the slurring, fast-talking host mashes through the details. A good architect, but take voice lessons, articulate and slow down.
I'm a DC native, NE DC, and live about 1 mile from US Capitol to the north. This video makes me want to plan to go out and explore this beautiful city as I don't go out and about to see to capture this beautiful city like I should. My mother had her retirement celebration inside of the Smithsonian Castle; she worked as a payroll clerk still have those photos taken at the celebration in the early mid 70's. She worked for the government many many years. I remember and still have the photos of rockets that stood outside of the castle, now garden area facing Independence Avenue SW DC. 🤗
@@nonyabuziness5082 Wow! You definitely have never visited this world class city. While there is crime in some parts of the city like any other big city in the world, there is nest to zero crime on the national mall where this video is being shot. You are clearly uninformed and a negative person.
Thank you!! I’ve been reading thru all these comments like why has no one mentioned the weird orange statues that are in front of multiple buildings?? I was hoping someone knew what it was lol. I’m guessing it was some kind of art installation? If you find out plz let us know
I think I’m in love...😍🥰😍 Nicholas Potts is so good at describing the architecture in a succinct, knowledgeable, technical yet accessible way. I love listening to him talk as well. A great voice. Doesn’t hurt that he’s adorably cute...
I've lived in DC for about 20 plus years. This video is informative and sparks a desire to learn about architecture, which was been a latent interest for some time. I would love to see more in videos that point out certain architecture structure with marked lines and it's terminology, like what you did at time mark 2:42. This really is a good video to rewatch, take notes and go out and explore. Good job. Thanks! :)
Pierre Charles L’Enfant - There is only so much that can be covered in a 15 minute video. I think any mention of the French influence in the architecture of Washington, D.C. should warrant a mention of L”Enfant, commissioned by George Washington to design the new capitol and influenced by the broad avenues of the Paris of his youth. So important was L’Enfant’s contribution that his cenotaph occupies pride of place directly in front of Arlington House affording a view across the Potomac to the city influenced by his design. For the history of the development of the layout of Washington, D.C. see Grand Avenues: The Story of Pierre Charles L'Enfant by Scott W. Berg
The Cupola Is Copy of England Basilica of St. Paul. The Architecture Is Neo Palladian .the Obelisk Is "fake" Not Stone..Not Egyptian. In Rome Is Real Obelisk.
AD takes time to make a fantastic video about real architecture, but only receive 77k views 😢 AD go visit a celebrity's home and the video got 1M views easy peasy 😖
I.M. Pei's contributions to the Capitol are arrogant intrusions. For example, the East Building is the very first building, northernly placed, after the Capitol along the monumental core that the Mall delineates. So it has a view of the mall to its south and the Capitol itself to its North, North-East. And indeed that side of the building features a bank of windows designed to "capitalize" on the views offered. But the ordinary citizen iwill not see that. Nope. These views are reserved for the officials and staff of the East Wing of the Capitol. So essentially, the Building is a statement of anti-democratic principles. Taking the theme of arrogance to another level, observe also his gargantuan, brutalistic monstrosity, La Enfant Plaza which deliberately blocks a view that could have been created by the Smithsonian Arts and Industry Building. Now for the most part, La Enfant Plaza appears as though it is two buildings that straddle and frame Jefferson Avenue which terminates facing that Smithsonian Building.. As such, it could have produced an effective framing of the vista. But I.M. Pei made sure a unsightly pedestrian bridge obscured THAT view so as if to shout "No! Look a me! Look at me!" I surprised you did not include the incredible interior of the Building Museum Building, the buildings of the Library of Congress, Union Station and the Supreme Court, but I suppose you are obliged to cover the buildings you did.
The best Architectural digest video. That was my playground growing up. Would have liked him to add about the Lincoln, Jefferson, and Washington Monument while he was at it.
Would love to see the reasoning behind the Hirshorn Museum on the National Mall. I always thought it was a bit of an eyesore when compared to it's neighbors.
Wow. This man pairs a lot of history knowledge with a deep understanding of the purposes and motivations of architecture. I know a compact, well-shot and edited video doesn't just happen, either. I will look for the other videos in this series. A+ (which could be a name for the series, but I just copyrighted it. 🙂)
A good educational touring info. accompanied by excellent view of each building's grand image. Many foreign visitors like seeing most buildings in DC as they remind them of similar ones in Paris. ✌️🕊️
🤙🤙…. BUT… the speaker’s high rising terminal (HRT) is making this difficult and is like fingernails on a chalkboard. HRT is a linguistic occurrence in which a speaker uses a rising inflection at the end of a declarative sentence.
Nobody becomes a millionaire or billionaire by working for others and depending on them, good Investment breed millions of dollars and consistency breed billions
Bitcoin trading is easier when you have the strategies and knowledge I tried trading but lost totally. I advise you place your trade under an Expert who knows how to trade
This was so interesting! I've been to Washington D.C. a couple of times and visited some of the featured buildings. This filled in a lot of gaps of how and why some buildings were designed the way they were.
This guy is an awesome host to what is probably the most celebrated location on earth and all its architectural keys and intricacies . Thank-you sooo much my dude, Sigma 4 Life 😌
Wonderful! I love going into the city. Now I will see things with a new perspective. Also, Christmas week is great time to stroll around the mall and go to museums because no one is there!
Even though different in style the Smithsonian reminds me of Schloss Drachenburg PS best video so far and i subbed years ago! please do more videos about architecture!
Lafayette Square and the White House and Renwick Gallery are not on the Mall. But Natural History, American History, Air & Space, and American Indian, and African American are. And the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. Puzzling. BTW "Bequested" = bequeathed.
This was lovely. I'd love for AD to do more of these tours around DC: the National Cathedral, Basilica, Georgetown University, Watergate Hotel, Meridian Hill Park, Cairo Hotel, Union Station, DCA and Dulles in Virginia just to name a few ideas.
I’m really happy to see the capitol in this video without an image of MLKjr or insurrection people. And this architecture is British with its columns and Greek inspired. It’s a trip but seeing this UA-cam made my day.
Absolutely wild to be on the Mall and not at least go over the more diverse museums and the widespread Brutalism. Some missed opportunities here for expanding on more than just Greco-Roman and Neoclassicism.
Hi. Nice going on this! Plan on doing part II: covering the other buildings. Natural History, Archives, Native Americans, Air and Space, the new African Americans Museum. Jefferson, FDR, Lincoln, WW II, Viet Nam. Engraving, Holocaust, Washington Monument. Treasury, Red Cross, OAR. Federal Reserve, Interior. You offer much insight. Keep it going!
Wonderful!! The Truman Balcony was actually added before the gutting of the White House. When Margaret’s piano leg fell through the floor engineers were dispatched for a detailed inspection. When they were finished the man reporting to Truman said something to the effect of, “Mr. President. Your balcony is the only part of the house not in immediate a state of immediate collapse.” I’ve always loved this story.
It's that time of year, when the world comes to visit us here in the DCA!!! Spring break in DC to see the cherry blossoms and the flowering trees, while taking the kids to see the national monuments and the museums! My mother, best friend and I recently drove into town from just outside the Beltway to see a play at the National Theater and were parking in the Ronald Reagan office building. Sure enough, we met a family of tourists who were getting together in DC from the North (Ohio) and the South (Florida). They weren't going to see the play, but were just going to walk around the area to see the White House grounds. It was so much fun to see their enthusiasm to visit our beautiful Nation's Capitol. Taking the Metro is a good idea during the day, but I agree with their decision to use a car in the evening when the Metro trains don't run as frequently. If you are planning to drive into the city during the day to see the museums on the Mall, you have a better chance of finding parking in front of the National Gallery of Art. Also, if you are not going to go to the museum first thing in the morning, try around 12 pm, because the people who DID come first thing, often leave at that time and you can grab up their parking spaces.
Great information! It would be even better if you slowed down a bit so the viewer could savor what is being shown and talked about. Don't talk so fast and stop raising your pitch at the end of sentences - it's unnatural and somewhat annoying.
Great stuff AD - Can we have more of these please.
Was about to say the same. Best content on the channel.
I agree
These videos are far superior than the tours of celebrity homes.
agreed
Agreed more of this please!
Yes
I only ever watch these type of Vids. The grand Central one is still unmatched.
These are celebrity home tours.
FINALLY! I had resigned myself to the fact that this series was dead. I'm so glad you continued it.
Loved learning all this.
This guy's narrative is A-plus.
History and Architecture = winner combo !
Very informative, educational, and interesting, More of this please AD, Ty!
Thank you for sharing. All the buildings are gorgeous. Timeless marvels of architecture with rich heritage and history in every bit.
Great video. I.M. Pei’s buildings are a true scar on the face of whatever city is unfortunate enough to house them. Truly sad that building is on our National Mall.
I appreciate this run-down and elaboration on buildings that I see regularly and enjoy, not just for what they contain but also for their visual presence and what they represent about man and God.
I had read somewhere that the eschewing of ornamentation for The National Gallery of Art (West Building) was in recognition that, at it's size, had it featured much in the way of relief, pillars, recesses etc., it would have competed with, and perhaps visually surpassed the capitol--which has a smaller, albeit more prominently placed footprint.
I think you are revealing an unfortunate trait of some architects where focus in exclusively paid to the building as a singular expression without regard to its neighbors and context. But Pope and Pei were quite mindful of the placement of their buildings. Across the Avenue, you will notice that the Candandian Embassy does a find job of taking cues from both the West and East Buildings and combing the respective themeless masterfully. Buildings that disregard context and placement are arrogant buildings--and, yes, sometimes that is the point.
very much enjoyed the architectural elements used through out Washington DC. Informative and AD should make more videos like these.
Enjoyed this! More of these pls!
Hello Colleen , i hope you are having a wonderful day so far ?
I hope we can get a video of the rest of Washington DC because I would love to hear about the details on the post office building!
Keep these kind of videos coming, these are the best!
great job. really enjoyed and a discussion about architecture that should take place more often. thanks for posting it.
We have similar brick townhomes in Old City, Philadelphia. The first US capital. Wonder how Philly would look if it was always the capital or it moved then came back
More Nick Potts!!!!!!!!
I wish the Library of Congress was included. Great video though!
Thank you.

What building has the Darth Vader on corner stone at top of it ??
Tartarian architecture
The House and Senate expansions began before the Civil War. The current dome was finished in 1863.
5:11 great ❤ 17 Sep. 2024

Really nice topic. DC has a lot of interesting little layout tidbits. All the traffic circles in DC were planned to confuse the enemy.
tee- They (traffic circles) were not planned to confuse enemies, invaders. That’s just a myth that has been spread for ages now.

The best Architectural digest video. That was my playground growing up. Would have liked him to add about the Lincoln, Jefferson, and Washington Monument while he was at it.
Thank you! Was caught off guard when he left the Mall! But overall fantastic and very well done.

Would love to see the reasoning behind the Hirshorn Museum on the National Mall. I always thought it was a bit of an eyesore when compared to it's neighbors.
Leave it to IM Pei to plop down a monstrosity that doesn't fit in with its surroundings.

There was more love between Franklin and the French women then the two upcoming nations 😂
the executive building is crazy to look at, it seems really extreme with use of columns
These are such good videos. Really enjoy them all. Far more than I would ever have thought. Keep up the great work.
I’m more shook… by the fact that it’s a MALL.
Malls were originally tree lined promenade. Look at history of Pall Mall in UK
Didn't even mention Palladio, whose designs are copied here.
Love this type of video. More please!
Excellent! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏾
Great information! It would be even better if you slowed down a bit so the viewer could savor what is being shown and talked about. Don't talk so fast and stop raising your pitch at the end of sentences - it's unnatural and somewhat annoying.
