I’m loving the way you tour me and discover new elements in the building as you walk through it. It’s as if I’m walking with you two. I feel as if I’m part of the conversation. And I envy the architects who designed the gallery. Great project.
Thanks guys, what a lovely video - a balm, a salve (whatever) - certainly a relaxing and enjoyable video to watch in these unhappy times. Please keep up the good work, this is great stuff, really appreciated.
The continued change in expression and detail to set apart sections of columns and blocks is brilliant in all these Canberra buildings. One to one details are unmatched wow. Loving this series.
really enjoy it, an easy 30 min, amazing expression in details and the mix used of materials exposing on a canvas. bays of structure reminds me kimbell art museum, thanks for the amazing video
This building is so beautiful! I came across it a while back and I loved it! Thanks heaps for taking me to visit it through your eyes and camera lens. As you´ve said, so many lessons there. I really like that it could have been a sort of monolithic piece, but in fact, the subtle combination of parts makes it a delicate one. I love how the roof gently sits on the beams. I guess this is my favourite from all the amazing details the building has.
Great video! I really appreciate the depth you guys go into to explain the details. It makes me want to go visit these buildings with new eyes and appreciation. Maybe pick up on a few extras too!
Such a great explanation of all the details and how the materials and details are expressed. 👌Thanks for such a great video! I loved the human scale explanations too. 🙌
This building is quintessential Canberra. If you arrived blindfolded to the outside of this building from anywhere in the world, there would be no mistaking of where you were when the blindfold came off. It is also a bit like an interstellar spaceship. HMAS Canberra (24th century Federation Galaxy-class starship operated by Starfleet).
Great tour. I’ve loved visiting this building and now I know what “tectonic” means. The way natural light is handled I think is really exceptional. Would really like you guys go to the Canberra Arboretum if you’re still there… there’s a really cool kiddies park there called the pod, right up your alley!
We were only there in Canberra for 2.5 days in early May and the Arboretum was on my list of things to visit that we didn't have time for. I even had my drone with me as that is the only place where I can fly the drone and get some aerial shots.
Love this building, this and the NGA are two of my favourites. Love the collection, love the little cafe and bookshop and love the central foyer, had some fun work gatherings there at night, excellent for a work Christmas party.
nice building. In plan I definitely see Kahns Kimbrell art museum with repeated long extruded thin spaces lining up next to each other although lacking the simplicity and anciency. Re Canbera- i just think 'lining up on axes' is overrated.. :)
As i was reading a book by Simon Unwin there’s a part where he says “In learning to do architecture, the study of plans and sections takes precedence even over visiting buildings” and i agree with him. Later on he says “Visiting buildings gives you the best chance to experience architecture in relation to the world of light, sound, setting, weather, people…” and then suddenly I thought of Archimarathon, where you guys simultaneously study the drawings and physically experience the architecture…. In other words you are giving us a more or less holistic approach to learning more about architecture.
Hard to believe this sort of 'monument/art bunker' was conceived of and considered appropriate in 2018 or thereabouts. No amount of anal retentive detailing and architectural cliche, such as the grossly extended concrete slab signifying entry(?) can compensate for a weak architectural idea. Tons and tons of concrete to protect art is such a daggy idea. I love Paul Rudolph too, but they needed to channel one of his better concepts. Why do we need 'monumental' anyway?
For some reason, this didn't shoot to the top of my homepage despite me having liked and watched pretty much all of your previous videos. I think someone nefarious is manipulating the algorithm either against you (how many enemies do you have in San Francisco?), or the Brutalist style writ large. Brutalist public buildings work brilliantly. There's no inherent reason for Brutalist housing not to, either. That said, the construction techniques of the sixties and seventies haven't always held up well, particularly in damp climates. Whatever you think of Brutalism you have to acknowledge that it is stylish. It might have been the last style, now that postmodernism seems to have made style impossible. I lived in a James Stirling building as a student. It was not a bad piece of architecture, but it was a very compromised place to live. Are the identikit student-flats-as-portfolio-diversification that blight every major city better than Stirling's Andrew Melville Hall? I don't think they are much more generous, well-designed, thoughtful: maybe that's a draw. But they aren't stylish, and that counts for something.
I think you have to have the notification bell because YT will always try to serve you new stuff from someone else instead of stuff you have already seen.

Yes that’s the idea. We want to make it feel like you are there touring and geeking out with friends.
wow I learned a lot from this video. can not believe I watch this channel for free
Great lessons need to be taught and shared.
Oh to travel and see these structures...
At least we can hop onto Archimarathon and do a virtual tour 🤓
Let’s hope lockdown ends soon
Pretty awesome feeling of you guys admiring the roof timber that I helped cut, paint and finish. Awesome video!
Beautiful craftsmanship! Well done.
Great work!!!

Thank you. Please check out our other videos. Plenty on Canberra
Amazing video thankyou for explaining tectonics, such a detailed building explained so simply :)
You remember I was using this as a reference for your previous semester project regarding the roof?
@@Archimarathon not entirely, but I can see what you mean, such a good building.

So many lessons in this building. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Loving this long format , has elements of going into deep discussions in discord.
It's a much bigger building and a lot of lessons.

Yes it's quite a tectonic building. One of the good ones to explain to people what tectonic means.
The attention to detail is always outstanding! I'll always be a fan of the smooth Brolls that is always such an eye candy
Thanks
Everything is better with good humour. You keep me thinking and imagining architecture. Thanks!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great video! I really appreciate the depth you guys go into to explain the details. It makes me want to go visit these buildings with new eyes and appreciation. Maybe pick up on a few extras too!
That’s the idea. Which is why we are doing publicly accessible buildings.
Incredibly grateful for this video. The one building I didn't visit while in Canberra.

Interesting as always 💥
Cheers. Stay hydrated

Surprisingly I was told it’s barely mentioned at the architecture school in Canberra… or any architecture school for that matter.
Also I am curious what do you think makes it quintessential Canberra?
Attractive documentation 👍
Glad you enjoyed it

Like how you are aware of every design aspect.

Belter episode , keep up the good work!
Thanks
Very much like Louis kahn service served design of the salk institute or Kimball art museum.
servant and served spaces yeah

Just love it ❤️
Thanks!

Yes, that is precisely why we are doing what we are doing.
@@Archimarathon I greatly appreciate your channel, I can’t fully explain how much instrumental it has been to me during this pandemic. 🙏🏼
@@kudzaishemakweta211 please remember to spread the word. And if you are not in our Discord community already, join us.

Is it those concrete walls that are low or Andrew who is tall? Just kidding, very interesting video, exactly like the one about the High Court.
Check out our other videos
they really wouldnt let you film the artwork? do they ban photos from cameras as well or? 24:30
Yes copyright law in Australia. It’s considered a “reproduction”
