      @@cowmoo5596 I suppose it's because you don't hear a lot about architects of African descent. (Western Africa, making an uneducated guess. I have a couple of friends from Nigeria.) Truth be told, I'd never heard of him before, but I'm not really good at names to begin with. Ask me who designed the Louvre Pyramid, or the Sidney Opera House, and um... no.

  • @shadowhuntagaming
    @shadowhuntagaming 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love this channel, and the voice you are bringing to the built environment. However, have to say, really not a fan of these buildings. I feel they lack imagination, and rely heavily on repetition. A building should have a feel of awe and wonder, a sense of scale, that creates a presence, and influences it's environment. These constructions are more akin to a child who only had one colour of Lego brick to build with. I think the Russian build is the exception, I didn't mind it.

    For the benefit of those high school kids interested in this profession and perhaps save you lifetime of aggravation if you are talented STEM wise, there is rampant fallacy held by people including myself before I entered architecture school that architects are technical people in traditional STEM sense in addition to working with aesthetics but that is complete false. Architecture education in US is 99% humanities discipline i.e. art, history and english with virtually no science classes to receive a diploma.
