It’s a true pleasure watching George struggle to verbalize the way that facade looks 29:00

Manhattanism moved to Brooklyn.

Do you ever think you guys will cover Charles Cockerell? I love the ashmolean he designed

48:20 figuring out the geometry of that dome, even with the photo, hurt my head a bit 😅

as a non-architect American, I have become slightly addicted to both your show but also to Grand Designs. As British architects, please tell me what Grand Designs reveals about middlebrow residential architecture!

Great video, very informative!

this is how arch university entrances are in Romania. i had fun and did well because of my interest in arts but it's ultimately quite useless, also just an easy way for the teachers to sh*t on you for cheap reasons, hence why I chose to study in the Netherlands.

Thanks and Happy New Year! One thing I wasn't clear on was the extent to which you view sustainable architecture as a 'political' genre. I would suggest that given the power that all buildings exercise over people and the environment that materially responsible architecture, is no more political than any other type.

"What we need is a bigger sphere" is an apt summary of the contemporary situation. In all senses.

:)

I enjoy your discussions. In 2025 more about Ian Nairn and also church/cathedral architecture would be great.

Defining features of the currently experineced very much present present is quite a challenging intellectual task. Thank you guys for attempting to sum it up, and Happy New Year!

Most comments on BIM are based on Revit. Having used ArchiCAD, Revit and Vectorworks 'in anger' in the past decade I came to the conclusion that Revit is the least good for me an architect because it requires too many humans to input the information needed. ArchiCAD would be my choice if I had the necessary funds. The best has been Vectorworks as being the most cost effective and including many 'modules' that are expensive extra 'addons' to the others. Likewise the incorporation of AI imagery is quite good for images but next to useless for BIM. Like BIM, AI is just a tool we as architects can use to increase productivity and minimise the use of technical staff. Something else that surprises me is the number of architects do not appear to understand the difference between objective beauty and subjective fashion/style. Design is objective and well designed buildings that meet the objective criteria of aesthetic beauty (the 2D 'golden ratio', of whichever 'style', or Hans Van Der Laan's 3D 'plastic number, etc).

Merry Christmas❤

I have never been to London. However, I have always longed to go. Number one on my to-do list in London for as long as I can remember is to visit Sir John Soane's Museum. It has inspired me greatly.

You guys are making an amazing show, I am addicted now! It deserves so much more views and appreciation. Thank you for the professional and sometimes nicely ironic overviews and deep-dives!

❤

very high quality video, deserves more views

Great episode. Especially enjoyed the discussion at the end on what today's architectural education could learn from Beaux-Arts. And, I actually have that book at home, read it during the pandemic. I remember thinking then that the analytique was the equivalent of the "mood board" designers use today. But I suppose it also showed how the design should work together on different scales. Any way, keep up the good work. I always enjoy listening to you.

Better than Atlas Shrugged, not as good as Anthem.

Very interesting conversation, gentlemen. It was not Lloyd Warren, but rather Richard Morris Hunt in the 1840's who was the first American to study architecture at The École. Followed by Henry H. Richardson in 1860.

Sounds like they were training people to be image generation AI.

How would Gaudi take this test

So good to have a new meal to enjoy...quite a banquet in fact, given its length...Ecole des Beaux Arts...please do NOT pronounce the 's' of 'Arts'...you are not speaking American English...dgp/uk

Yessss! So excited when you guys post. ❤

Quite good if I was still a young boy at school, where we covered all of this. However, all the “like” and “sort of” made it difficult to hear. Thanks anyway.

"Sort of kind of like..."

This series has been one of my favourites. Thank you both, and to all involved in the production, for pulling this all together. I'd love to see a series or at least one episode on the artist John Piper. I know he wasn't an architect, but he did some stained glass windows in churches and was an artist/photographer of medieval and 20th century architecture, as of course you will well know.

I've really enjoyed this series, I think it's been my favourite so far. Something I found particularly interesting was the insight that Soane was at his best and most interesting when working around massive limitations. Also, the idea of the Soane wanting a successor to live almost like a new incarnation of himself, living in his house, sleeping in his bed, is pretty amusing. Like an attempt at secular reincarnation!

Great video. I would say Soane was a deist rather than an atheist. For example, as a Freemason he would have had to believe in a supreme being, but no necessity to believe in Christ.

Great vídeo !

Looking forward to viewing this video!

You guys are marvellous 🤌👌

Speaking of Lucky 13😊

this comes across as somewhat condescending 🧂

We had a major tech client require us to read this book before commencing a project for them. Like you said, the low-road/high-road chapters’ concepts are interesting but I think could be expounded upon by actual architects. REX is a firm that explores this “tailored flexibility” a lot-a recommendation.

The office in an elevator must be from some other movie.

PAROLE VERE SOPRATUTTO OGGI.....MIGLIAIA DI LAUREATI IN ARCHITETTURA..MA POCHISSIMI VERI ARCHITETTI

i love how the character of the architect who is drunk all the time because he's been "broken by society" tears down her own entire worldview, it's almost as if people are the products of their environment after all. also found my new favourite youtube channel/podcast

"He's also really good!" <-that's it, right there. 😀

Great job mates. Great review

Great talk. Ive also heard the Leoni edition is very good, and one of the most useful versions. It was owned by Thomas Jefferson but I didn't know it was copper like Piranesi

Kings Arms Pub How COOL 😎

el Durand del renacimiento (avant la lettre) pero con mucho más talento

Thank you for this, I remember it was a series on tv. I would like you to cover Prince Charles-'A Vision of Britain' (1989) and Ian Nairn-'Paris' (1968).

the best architectural channel ever! great job!

I was always told it was.🎉🎉🎉

Love your podcasts 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
