    Architecture students, if your professors list recommended books on your syllabus, read them even if its not required for the class assignments!!

      I can´t emphasize this enough! Specially if they are not in the syllabus they must have something interesting worth reading....

      A few corrections to make searching for them easier, maybe: Peter Eisenman with one N, Juhani Pallasmaa, Precedents in Architecture, Robert Venturi, and Rem Koolhaas.

  • @anarchitectsouthafrica
    @anarchitectsouthafrica 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Pallasmaa's take on architecture has been greatly under-appreciated and has recently gained more popularity due to new developments in Virtual Reality - making measurable the subjective experience. It is intriguing to see how his work can have such a strong influence in post-colonial and post-orthographic architecture; in all great addition to the reading list especially for The Future of Architecture

    • @ShowItBetter
      @ShowItBetter  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      yes! Pallasmaa and the whole genre was greatly undervalued a few decades ago

  • @garethgriffiths1674

    Nice list! A few more suggestions:
    - Charles Jencks, The Language of Postmodern Architecture
    - Jeremy Till, Architecture Depends
    - Beatriz Colomina, Are we Human? Notes on an archaeology of design.
    - Kari Jormakka, Design Methods

    • @ShowItBetter

  • @AvenitaCZ
    @AvenitaCZ 3 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Great tips! Read some of these books, but some were new, gonna look into them. I would add in the list any book by Jan Gehl - he writes beautifully about public spaces and the life in them, something that architects sometimes tend to disregard

    • @ShowItBetter
      @ShowItBetter  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! Yeah, this was mostly architectural history and theory-related. But hopefully, the next one will be towards cities

    • @anarchitectsouthafrica
      @anarchitectsouthafrica 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Completely agree with the sentiments by the author. We suggest students also check out What is Architecture?: Understanding Architecture (2019) to bring another perspective in

      El ingles es la lengua mas hablada del mundo, no lo es español. Soy Colombiano al igual que el, y...... entiendo y respetos sus motivos como creador de contenido. Si bien las personas de habla hispana consumen muchisimo contenido en youtube, tambien son los que menos apoyan al creador de contenido (esa informacion es facil de comprobar, + en este tipo de canales). Es un dilema hacia donde va dirigido el por qué del canal y que esperas lograr con el como un profesional en arquitectura........

      Gracias Ramses, no te preocupes entiendo tu frustración. Pero al momento de crear el canal (2016) había una mayor audiencia que hablaba inglés, y al dia de hoy aun es asi. En terminos educativos prefiero alcanzar al mayor numero de gente, espero entiendas :)

    ¡Belo vídeo, como siempre! Some other books that I think are essential and have shaped my relationship with architecture:
    - Thinking Architecture / Atmospheres, by Peter Zumthor
    - Habitar, by Juhani Pallasmaa
    - The Timless Way of Building, by Christopher Alexander
    - In Praise of Shadows, by Jun'ichiro Tanizaki
    I found both Zumthor books, as well as The Timeless Way of Building and Learning from Las Vegas, online for free! It's always worth making a quick Google search, you'd be surprised by the amount of free books we have available.

    if you haven't you at least should take a look at Zumthor's "thinking architecture" - "atmospheres" is also good; Gehls' various works on how cities should focus its design on people's scale and real needs; "pensar con las manos" by Baeza; "la buena vida" by Àbalos. on a more historic side you have Benevolo's, Rossi's and Chueca's works

    I think you got it the wrong way around for the duck vs decorated shed? Duck = post-modernism and decorated shed = modernism?

    • @Roborakify
      @Roborakify 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope. According to Venturi, "duck" is a sculpture, then a building. "Where the architectural systems of space, structure, and program
      are submerged and distorted by an overall symbolic form." Crawford Manor is pointed as an example, which is called "heroic and original".
      Decorated shed is "where systems of space and structure are directly at the service of
      program, and ornament is applied independently of them." Venturi Guild House is pointed as an example, which is called "ugly and ordinary".
      Venturi encouraged building cheaply, but with additive lovely ornament.

    • @Roborakify
      @Roborakify 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Postmodernism is a vide term. There were lots of postmodern ducks, but in the book, Venturi criticizes especially late modernist tendencies which resulted in over-complicated plans and expensive structures.
