    Oh, what a relief! Akruas lives! I am always counting down the days until the next Altengrad video. I really appreciate what you are doing. I love building and creating different kinds of projects like cities, houses, zoos, and amusement parks. I particularly enjoy that you add an educational aspect to your videos.
    I live in the Czech Republic, and I am glad that, thanks to you, I can learn something about the history of urbanism and architecture in my country's history. I really appreciate it. Please continue with what you are doing. It is truly fun, interesting, and educational content.

    12:20 I'm so proud that you featured the University Library, one of my very favourite buildings in Warsaw! I highly recommend touring the roof gardes to anyone visiting the city.
    24:43 I'm not the greatest fan of the style but the Lehel Market looked so interesting! I think maybe the mistake of other architects of postmodernism was chickening/cheapening out on such outlandish and fresh details and the many, many crazy decorations. The "normal" kitsch for me just projects creative bankruptcy while this example is the exact opposite. It has as many thought out details as a gothic cathedral. It definitely suits it's use - a true temple of consumptionism. It's honestly how I would imagine the Wonka factory to look like :D
    19:42 The Church of Holy Spirit in Paks was also similarly striking. I don't think I ever saw anything like it. It's so beautiful and alien despite being made of a really down-to-earth material.
    For the greater part of featured examples, the less said, the better, I think - as you put it in 12:08.
    As you can tell, I'm super pumped for the slideshow lecture format. I think you are a very knowledgable person and you have a lot to share with your audience. I learned a lot because of this series and it changed the perspective with which I perceive buildings and cities I visit. So, thanks for your work!

  • @artamir6605

    I really hope that the huge empty spaces left on the outskirts of the city mean we will still get a lot of episodes. I really enjoy the architecture lectures, but i hope we will get a few more special buildings in the future too. The city is kinda lacking recreational buildings and media.
    For example, i think you could add:
    - Radio and TV Station
    - Swimming pools
    - concert hall
    - cinemas
    - theatre
    - ice hockey arena
    - new football stadium
    - festive plaza for fairs and such
    I know we now enter the right times for that, so please consider a few. It would make the city much more lively

    @geography_czek5699 3 дні тому +7

    I kinda accept every architectural style as long as it respects its surroundings and doesn't scream for attention (only exception is when the purpose of the building is to be visible and stand out). That is maybe because I like looking at cities as a whole and appreciating a place's urbanism rather than looking at individual buildings. Therefore even though postmodernism isn't really my favorite style I can still appreciate buildings like Tančící dům or the University of Warsaw library you showed. They can be crazy and unique but at the same time respect their surroundings and fit into the existing urban fabric.

    The 90s were a great time for architecture. Disney-like styles, columns, the rise of the ‘Starchitechts’. Gehry, Michael Graves, Meier. The time of Venturi’s widely inspiring book “Learning from Las Vegas’. Every city in Europe and the US started putting it in their city centers. I love how you build and teach and you do it in a nice, fast flow and undersrandable way. You’re good!

    I absolutely love this series, it taught me so much about architecture and just the world around me. Now walking around Wrocław I can at least know what I'm looking at. Btw, for 2000's era buildings you could look at the Wrocław University's main library. It's always been a weird building for me, some sort of a mix of brutalism and postmodernism as I've read in some article. It's certainly monumental, inside and out, especially with a "corridor" leading between two sections.

    Loved the video! This style was also applied in some places in southern Europe, although we aren't eastern block we have some buildings and neighborhoods inspired by buildings in the eastern block, here in Portugal they were built especially during the New State dictatorship, where the main idea was Family God (catholicism) and Work. Some neighborhoods are even "repeated" around the cities, for example Encarnação and Beato, in Lisboa. We have a metro station I think @Akruas would like to check out, its the Olaias metro station, maybe even take a look at the neighborhoods of Chelas, Bela Vista and Olaias, all in Lisboa, they were all refurbished for the world expo in 98, to make the city more presentable

    My college had Walter A. Netsch Jr design 3 buildings on campus; the art building, music and library. They were only made out of 45 or 90 degree triangles. No other shapes, no square rooms. Multitiered because of how hilly my campus was but the library was a literal labyrinth. 😅
    It's Wells College if you're curious, the Long Library, they have 3D tours. Sadly my school closed just recently.

    I know it's still early in the 90's for Altengrad, but one thing I would like to see in this decade is the crumbling of the social welfare programs and public works. Like old hospitals rotting away and tramlines becoming rolling museums or being ripped out to make way for more urban freeways would be interesting. Love the series and can't wait to see where you'll go with it!

      @farter-hall9681 День тому

      @@Akruas The main example I was thinking of was in Moscow, being the line on Mira Avenue which was closed to make way for the 3rd ring row in Moscow in 1995. This was part of a wave of line closures in the 90's mainly along major motor ways. Funnily though I was mistaken and thought this happened in Budapest (I don't know why, I guess I just got my wires crossed) but because of that I looked into the history of trams in Budapest. Where starting in the late 60's tram-lines where being closed most of which where dead-end lines but other closures left certain lines unconnected, and some of the trams were replaced with trolly busses. By 1982 Budapest had closed around 20% of its lines and a further 6 lines were closed from 94 to 97. However new lines were also opened during this time and most of these closures where part of a reorganization and consolidation campaign of the tram lines. But one neat example I found was the Keleti pályaudvar to Kápolna tér line that closed in 94 where at Kápolna tér you can see the remnants of the tram station on google street view and you can also see where the rest of the tracks were and that they're now parking spots in the middle of the road. The example in Budapest is nowhere near an urban freeway, it's just a 2-lane road with a wide median now but I personally like little things like that where it's obvious the space had a different use.

    Interesting thing from Supreme Court of Poland building and just a cherry on the top of its storytelling - that picture from 15:45 was taken at its back-entrance, away from streets, behind underground garage ramp - basically the most utilitarian, technical side of the building. And that one entrance gets this - chaotic, deconstructivist space with randomly wandering caryatides of Themis and absolutely silly skybridge. A complete subversion of the seriousness of the front facade.
    So as a pedestrian you approach this massive, pompous front, communicating the authority and justice of the law. But then, if you get into that one side where there's "nothing to see", a backside where stitches are showing. you find absolutely jumbled mess. It's almost a joke - like behind all that seriousness, law is without much coherence or direction, a tower of duct tape, barely performing its function.

    Postmodernism can be a mixed bag. Some of it just looks insane (that Lehel market-“What Lehel is that thing!?”). On the other hand, I find that library in Warsaw to be beautiful. Maybe it’s all the plants. Cover just about anything in enough plants and it starts to look good. The green facade goes well with the green plants, but does have enough of a stately, classical appearance to befit a storehouse of knowledge like a library.

      @@Akruas eh, because it was coined by Russian urbanists in the 2010s, not because of the fundamental differences. It's still a very naive and romantic fascination with freedom of expression, almost childish use of colors and forms, ridiculous mix of traditional elements with modern materials. It took more drastic shapes in post-USSR due to corruption, rapid accumulation of obscene wealth and ability to disregard building codes or opinions of locals altogether, but East European postmodernism and postsoviet caprom are two sides of one coin
