My wife and I went to the Art Museum in LA, LACMA, we stepped into a pure white room with only a red broom perched against the wall. We marveled at the simplicity of the statement... A few moments later, a janitor walked in and stated to us, "Oh, I was looking for this" and proceeded to start sweeping the room. Again, we both marveled at how we had become part of a moving art project. A moment later, another man stepped into the room and yelled, "Hey there is a spill at Exhibit B".....

DrRockkso yeah. Maybe its because i havent really experienced them every day. But ive heard some people that said positive things about living with brutalism like its a very open building, encouraging people to gather around in the indoor “park”, and ive seen several brutalist architecture with very good lighting. I guess brutalism can be good if the architectures actually tried to make it good and actually appreciated the beauty of it.
There are good and bad examples of brutalist architecture. Small windows and a general lack of integration with other elements of the environment are the things that turn people off but brutalism doesn't have to be that way.

Honestly at first i thought this was real until I noticed the CC logo. Took me about 1 or 2 minutes. It's legit something how an architect could be like
Funny thing is that 'feel' of being a shit place IS a legit aesthetic choice that an architect could want. Dunno WHY, but if you're making a set design for theatre or something, being able to make the place feel like shit IS an architectural skill.
This reminds me of when some art gallery or museum opened in Denver back around maybe 2005. Very acute corners, weird angles, pointy structures jutting out at eye level. Perhaps my memory exaggerates. But it was a challenging building, for sure. I think they had to close it and re-open it minus a few bruise-makers.

I’ve been intrigued by some of the buildings Rem Koolhaas has designed, such as the China Central TV HQ in Beijing. He seems to use his buildings as commentary on other buildings, and seems obsessed with the quality of quantity. Quote: “where architecture reveals, BIGNESS perplexes; BIGNESS transforms the city from a summation of certainties into an accumulation of mysteries. What you see is no longer what you get.”
I'd love to hear their reaction somehow. . . or . . . for that matter . . . I'd love to watch a room full of any well known architects . . . watch this - and - react.

This ain't a joke, this is just a real life post-eastern block countries.
i can agree
Come to West Africa
Not just there. For some reason Brutalist architecture was hugely popular in America in the 1960s (which coincidentally was when lots of universities were expanding and new government buildings were being built). These hideous eyesores litter our cities and college campuses to this very day.
Boston city hall is in Boston my dude.
@@drrockkso8882 aww i actually like few of the brutalist bldgs esp the national theater of great britain but yeah, some if not most are eyesores
I'm an architecture student and this legit looks like a typical architectural documentary HAHA.
This is my favorite UA-cam video of all time. Why am I only seeing this now? I’m crying.
When they mentioned all the At&t buildings I believed them. Hideous and no windows
Those are buildings where you can murdered in and no one would know
@Fanniumen "...NSA and AT&T maps obtained by The Intercept indicate that 611 Folsom Street is one of the eight "peering" hubs in the U.S. that process internet traffic as part of the NSA surveillance program..."
Careful, this guy is the worst translator ever
I love that one. I think that is his best and this is his second
and he was a Narco. dangerous man.,
No, he is pitbull and he sang with KC!
It's okay, he had already died. Shot by the rival cartel.
piao piao
“He built 3 of New York City’s most iconic buildings, Port Authority, Penn Station and LaGuardia.”
As a New Yorker, this absolutely destroyed me.
Funny thing is people like this do exist.
Way to many people like this exist...
This is half of the professors in my college (architecture)
And billionaires are funding these people, the so-called "artists". I wonder why, is it possibly because they want to demoralize western civilization?
@@snarkylive what?
@@veneficus582 billionaires fund those people because they are passionate and they ask for the money. If you don't ask, you don't get. And if you aren't passionate about what you wanna do, you won't get funding.
If i had to guess how a designer's personality is..
This hit the spot.
This is genius, there are so many aspects of this is supposed to feel over the top but end up feeling realistic because there's a surprising amount of people like these
"Not quite"
*Spits at the thing*
"Perfection".
Honestly at first i thought this was real until I noticed the CC logo. Took me about 1 or 2 minutes. It's legit something how an architect could be like
Funny thing is that 'feel' of being a shit place IS a legit aesthetic choice that an architect could want. Dunno WHY, but if you're making a set design for theatre or something, being able to make the place feel like shit IS an architectural skill.
Only if it is intentional.
its to make people want to spend less time there. new US train stations. the less time you spend inside. the more efficent it is
Now I know. These are the ppl who refuse to put benches and sofas in some of the world's malls.
Get off your fat butt and exercise.
@@departmentofdate2263 Actually, I am quite slim :)
Those are other people. People who want you to sit in a cafeteria or a restaurant to spend your money, instead of sit there for free 😬
Architect: I build boring ugly buildings
Germany: ur in
#myoldschool
No seriously the school i was in is known as der bunker

@@Vlad-ds4pr the floor of our school building is still from the ns Zeit
My school is known as Architraz
@Gappie Al Kebabi Architraz, you asshole. Architecture+Alcatraz= Architraz
'I want you to feel challenged, interrogated' 'i want you to feel motherless '
As an architecture student who watched all those Frank gehry, Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster videos, I can't believe they'd make a skit about architecture.
Fuck modern architecture. And don't hurt any more people with your pretentious profession. Fuck function or form. Form is whats gives us meaning.
As an Introvert whos room is his whole world...
Those buildings are literally heaven for me!!!!!
I love feeling challenged, interrogated and tired when I walk towards a building.
This reminds me of when some art gallery or museum opened in Denver back around maybe 2005. Very acute corners, weird angles, pointy structures jutting out at eye level. Perhaps my memory exaggerates. But it was a challenging building, for sure. I think they had to close it and re-open it minus a few bruise-makers.
This is Sooooo much better than the "canned-laughter" comedy ..... but actually, it will question your sanity by making you laugh hard ... alone, by yourself!
That's great by the way!
It will make you feel motherless...
Congrats to everyone involved with this skit! One of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. Excellent story line. This is comedic perfection.
I genuinely thought this was an acctual documentary. The way the modern architecture stands, you never know.
Hahaha Oh my goodness, I am an architect and this is the best sketch on startchitects I've seen! So funny! And the best part, interpreted by a guatemalan fellow! Good job!
"I want you to feel like i hate you personally..... because i do"
You don't have to be an architect to feel that way... I work in banking. :D
Thank you for this! Pure gold.
"Pretty sure he owns a concrete company"
Didnt catch that the first time around
This is funny, smart and so well made. It really captures the spirit and style of these art/food docs on Netlix. Alternatino is the future of comedy!
This deserves part 2
"I want u to feel motherless and sad"😅😅😅
Arturo should win an award for this accent... doesn't matter which award, just get the man a trophy!
This describes almost every public building in the US since the 70’s.
Genius! No one has dared to think about the architect of these ugly buildings. Why does the architect have a Dutch origin? :)
Wait what?
Well the style of architecture is called Brutalism and it doesn't take you long to learn that it was started by a french dude and made popular by an english dude so...
I’ve been intrigued by some of the buildings Rem Koolhaas has designed, such as the China Central TV HQ in Beijing. He seems to use his buildings as commentary on other buildings, and seems obsessed with the quality of quantity. Quote: “where architecture reveals, BIGNESS perplexes; BIGNESS transforms the city from a summation of certainties into an accumulation of mysteries. What you see is no longer what you get.”
Dutch people know how to build visually raping structured buildings. Rotterdam or Apeldoorn are great examples.
almost every building is ugly really... most of creation is
“It started as a dream”
He said as he casually pissed the carpet.
😂
1:39 _"I want you to feel like I hate you personally... because I do."_ 😂😂
Alternatino is one of my favorite sketch comedies on CC. With Key and Peele gone at least we got this guy still making funny shit
to imagine the real architects for those buildings.loool.. trolls.looool
I'd love to hear their reaction somehow. . . or . . . for that matter . . . I'd love to watch a room full of any well known architects . . . watch this - and - react.
This should be shown at starting of every new architect degree programme 😂
"Its started as a dream" - LMAO he piss his bed.
This man can literally pull off any role he's given
