Great video, you have echoed what I have been quietly thinking for a long time now, as well as added more insight and different perspectives. I have been very curious what architects are learning about in school these days... because "modern" architecture makes me feel like we are in some sort of utopian dark age. One thing to add is that architecture used to also serve as a source of cultural pride, one that distinguishes societies from others and displays human ingenuity at its finest. Nowadays, everywhere is the same. Every city has the same generic looking buildings, which to me is a great loss for human civilization and culture. I am curious to know more about the long term effects of air conditioning vs. no (or minimal) air conditioning housing units on our health.
“everywhere is the same” great observation! this occurs due to the zeitgeist movement that formed from deconstructionism. The idea is building is just an object like an abstract sculpture that celebrates form ie Frank Gehry, Daniel Liebskind etc. and due to globalization people intend to copy architecture that’s provocative from around the world rather than focus on the vernacular and culture.
Thanks for the video. Our environment does affect the way we think, personally I think of the environment as the parent of any child. And it is sad that we keep removing ourselves from the real established world.
"this era" is past, lol We're not still wearing skinny jeans & greyscale walls. using more color is back in style, & we're already moving away from "modernism"
I wish, lol Though you're central message is true I think we have religion without awe, without spirituality, without community, and without obligation We need mutual obligation It doesn't matter if you believe in a dude in the clouds. You can pray to a god & come to the table to vaccinate your community. You can be an atheist and conspiracy theorize yourself into not contributing Christians today are selfish It's not the Christianity or atheism It's the emptiness itself, the lack of connection
Yes but great architecture inspires, architecture that is based on cheap practices that was invoked via selfishness, budget constraints, bare minimum etc. also intend to attract similar value… people in the past had less and were awe with less the architecture of today create isolation ie. Roman had communal baths, plazas, market squares, colosseum etc. , while we isolate ourselves in game room, sauna, backyard, etc there are rooms more in airport that allow you to lounge and place your phones on top of your head while they charge so you can look up at a screen and we wonder why we are becoming self centered

@@architecturalab interesting! thank you!

It's a shame we've lost touch with the world around us.
Finally someone said it!! Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback!
I feel like this critique is of 20 years ago or 200 years ago, maybe more than today
Though ..
"this era" is past, lol
We're not still wearing skinny jeans & greyscale walls.
using more color is back in style, & we're already moving away from "modernism"
Simply using colors won’t help. I think you should watch the video completely. Because he talks about it’s social qualities
I wish, lol

We need mutual obligation
It doesn't matter if you believe in a dude in the clouds.

Christians today are selfish
It's not the Christianity or atheism
It's the emptiness itself, the lack of connection
Your thesis is the 2 billion Christians today are selfish? Brilliant....
