You need to be kicked off you tube for misinformation!

Very good, Mike. Bravo. i will share this one on Facebook like I did the first one.

Amen, Brother!!!

Spot on! Thanks for your prospective.

Beautiful designs. Definitely shows the influence of Wright.

THANK YOU!

Sad but true.

I had no idea that the house was gone. What a shame.

The best Architectural Minute yet. So much information packed artfully in one moment. I cannot wait to see the next installment!

So much to digest in Goff's work.

2 or 3 correct

I got four out of five.

love the way you put it: an invitation to spiritual revelation... been there once but long to see it finished first before going back again...

Perhaps you didn't know this, but Casa Battlo is a representation of Saint George slaying the Dragon. The undulating roof line is the Dragon, the tower with the cross is Saint George. As the facade descends to street level, it gets less colorful. This represents the decomposing body of the dragon and the columns at street level are the dragon's bones.

I had completely forgotten about Lustron Homes, but the memory came flashing back after seeing this Atrchitecture Minute.

That was a very informative "Architecture Minute". As you know, I first saw this in 1972.

Great video thanks.

Great video. Thank you

I recently tried to explain this concept to someone, who ultimately did not appreciate what I was trying to explain to them. You do a MUCH better job of explaining!

Lever House is definitely a worthy candidate.

Thanks Scott! Appreciate that.

Michael. Thanks for sharing this description of what does an Architect do. You’re one of the best, in my opinion. Also, nice to see The Cabin at Grand Lake again…and love the upbeat intro and outro music!

I'd nominate Lever House in Manhattan as #1. It changed the paradigm for the office tower and also transformed the way we viewed corporations and Capitalism in general. It is a study in contradictions: a minimalist aesthetic that employs rich materials; a tower that calls attention to itself while it retreats into its plaza. You can imagine churches without the Gothic style and homes without Palladio. It's impossible to conceive of commercial architecture without the Lever House.

Interesting video. I enjoy finding out about these unsung heroes of Architecture that have shaped so many cities and towns across the country. One of my favorite architects that doesn't get enough attention is Paul Cret. I worked for the firm in Philadelphia that he started around the turn of the century in it's current iteration as H2L2, (Harbison Huff Livingston and Larson...students of Cret at Penn). Some of his notable buildings are The Federal Reserve building in D.C., the master plan and several buildings on the UT Austin campus, (including the famous tower), Walter Reed Hospital in D.C., Folger Shakespeare library in D.C., The Central Public Library of Indianapolis, the base of the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philly, Detroit Institute of Art, Several war memorials in America and Europe. He basically started the College of Architecture at the University of PA. He should be credited with developing what is referred to as "stripped down Classicism"...which should be called "Modern Classicism". Unfortunately this movement was hijacked by Albert Speer and other fascist architects and that was the end of that. So many American courthouses, libraries, museums and public buildings were done as a part of this movement, but it evolved into the more fanciful Art Moderne and Art Deco movement that did not have the fascist connotation of the stripped down Classicism. Cret would make a great subject for "Unknown Architects" Keep up the good work!

Well done Michael Knorr. I recognize many of these beautiful Denver homes…but, didn’t know of Jacques Benedict until now!

I graduated from college a week ago and this is what i see on the internet 😢

Mike, proof the text before publishing the video. I'm anxious to see the next 5 on your list.

I learned something today. I want to travel to Brazil. Thanks Michael.

Great choices. Thank you.

Edgar Kaufman commissioned 2 houses in the top 3. Truly visionary

Was looking forward to a mention of Frank Gehry's LA house. But I understand the difficulty in choosing just 10.

If number 2 was so great, they wouldn't have demolished it. But they demolished concannon also.
