I am a simple man... I see a new archimarathon video, I drop everything and watch. super nice details and really amazing skylights.
Sections man, sections. Do a quick sketch and post it on Discord
@@Archimarathon on it cap'n
Honestly guys, I´m loving all these Canberra episodes.Another amazing building and counting... Yes, travelling a lot to see just a building (even if it´s a car park) is something that we all architects do haha
So many well learned Kahn´s lessons in this building too. I love the language of the structures and the subtle details on each piece of the building. Awesome section btw
Yeah the section was a bit unexpected, that’s why I kept going “ohhhhhhhh”
@@Archimarathon I love this feeling. When it´s like a building epiphany
I love this car park. I've ridden my bike through it many times and the steel shapes make it feel futuristic. Although, they also nearly knock your head off if you aren't careful. Thanks for the view from an architectural viewpoint.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I would like to ride a bike. through there when it's empty.
I don't know much about architecture but I've been binge watching your videos, used to live in Canberra and always found this a really interesting space (even took some photos in there), so it's nice to see others appreciate it.
Great to hear non-architects appreciate it too.
Who doesn't love a good carpark. I love how you make even a carpark amazing. Now I'd love to see you do one at Melbourne Uni.
Ahh we did a brief walk though in one of our episodes but yeah I guess we could do a slightly longer episode with the trees on top as well.
Would that be the one used as the police car park in the first Mad Max film?
Yes that is the one
Ah! I grew up in Canberra went to school next to the AIA Hq - have always loved that strange left over space next to the high court (I was going to be my secrete architecture office) I fell in love with architecture at the AIA talks in the old NGA auditorim (sadly no more). The carpark was my own little secrete. Before the extension everyone used to park in a pay for parking gravel carpark and then up a weird tiny spiral back service stair to the concourse. But not me no one parked in the secrete carpark - which was free - always had spots to park and delivered you to the actual entry - the grand staircase - it was my secrete geeky architectural delight 😆 I love that you guys appreciate all the things that I thought only I loved! (You missed the members Cafe at the NGA though - you ll have to go back) I also notice that you missed the national museum 😉 💁♀️
Hey guys. Just an observation. You can remove the "thumbs down " , from your videos....cause you ain't gonna get any downwards pointing thumbs, facing "North "....
Nick from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹. Keep up with your marvelous videos on Architecture....❤
That raised bridge was actually supposed to be extended all the way across to the national library to create a grand avenue. But like so much in Canberra it just kinda ran out of steam. Also, you didn't mention that the NGA was actually built back-to-front. What is now the rear entrance was supposed to be the front and the they turned the building around!
Interesting story about being back to front
Would you happen to have a source for this?
@@TheCoffeyboyit’s all available from the national gallery archives or various histories of Canberra. I wrote an essay about it at uni
If you guys like car parks that doesn’t remove people from the ground - you should travel a few more miles to come see `ofelia plads` in Copenhagen..and then a few more miles to ‘lüders perkeringshus’ for some play-full architecture..
When we can leave the country yes
Beautiful architecture. Thanks very much for doing this! Entertaining + Educational. I wanna see Kevin in the videos more!
Thanks. I know I should too but I am the camera person and I cannot trust Andrew with the camera unfortunately
Movie: Mad Kev. In a near-future dystopia, an architects quest to obtain the last of the Moleskine Classic Notebooks while on a journey across a post apocalyptic Australian landscape documenting brutalist civic architecture.
I only use Moleskine Japanese Album in A6 size.
Nice big scale architecture but never seen sold prism of concrete coming out of roof. What are they?
@@laxmikantsaxena they are the columns
as someone who worked at the gallery for many years and loved to park here I just wanted to add that staff knew to avoid it on windy days as the wind howled in from the lake, I once recorded the wind chill temp as minus 13
Oh I can imagine. It’s pretty open. Thanks for your comment
I love the idea of spaces and buildings that are normally very functional and boring being designed in really clever and considered ways. Living in London, there's loads of examples of the Victorians doing this with places like sewage works, train stations, even things as simple as fences and lamp posts. It would be cool to see you do more videos of "boring architecture" like this.
Thanks. That’s a thought. But I guess the hard work is to find the good ones.
@@Archimarathon That's why TH-cam pays you the big bucks! 😂 Oh wait....
Boys , have you checked out the Sydney Opera House Double Helix carpark ,truly one of a kind also .
Yeah engineering wise that’s super impressive. But spatially and architecturally this takes the cake
I love this channel
We love you too.
I always thought that car park was cool, nice to see it appreciated!
It is!
Young architectural designer here - came across this channel while digging for worthwhile architecture videos on TH-cam (after wading through a lot of clickybait-y/lifestyle videos), and am absolutely loving both the video content as well as the specific work from Andrew's firm. It is inspiring to see people still genuinely *care* about architecture, as nowadays design often seems to fall by the wayside in favor of pure capitalistic values.
Thanks and glad you found our channel. If you are on Discord, come join the community
Don't know of any films shot there, but I can imagine one happening easily.
Nice intro!
What kind of scene/movie would you envisage? If you google ScreensCanberra website they actually have photos and list this place but no information.
What's not to love about the new entrance? It looks like something you'd probably find in Brasilia
BLOODY GORGEOUS♡!☆!♡♡☆!!! The triangle waffles, The dynamic but relatively simple shadows, The triangular buttresses, lighting cables going though the slab to avoid visual exposure. Far out... thanks for the share!! Coronavirus *sigh*....
Overlooked little gem
One sexy car park!
Solidly made too 🙌
One day we might see it irl 🤞
Hopefully soon
I thought the car park was freaking awesome....but my mind was blown once the video got to the point of the skylights forming the edge of the road, and the steel supporting the road above. wow.
Yeah I was pleasantly surprised too, as you probably heard from my “ohhhhhhhh….” . That is why architecture needs to be actively explored and investigated to get something out of them, not from photos.
@@Archimarathon absolutely agree.
Canberra, You have a lot of architectural masterpieces
Check out our other Canberra episodes. There are still more to come.
Seriously excellent car park 👌🏼 always go when I'm in CBR
First thing in the morning before cars getting in there
@@Archimarathon every visit is a thrill
In 2020 a Liam Neeson film (working title Blacklight) filmed a scene in the car park; unsure if there have been others. Love your vids!
Ohh thanks. Looking forward to seeing that. So I take it it was all filmed in Canberra?
@@Archimarathon Just saw your carpark video tonight. Yes, there’s a brief scene of this carpark in Blacklight. The editor’s character is in a red Porsche as it leaves the car park, and next edit the car drives out from a street across the lake in Civic.
Hilarious.
The car-rubbish truck scene and a second car chase (editor’s car) were shot here in Canberra; the rest of the film was shot in Melbourne during COVID-19.
kudos to the team pushing on despite restrictions due to covid and terrorism altering the spaces.
Lol two architects travel to see a carpark... It's gorgeous though so can't blame you!
Have you been to that carpark?
@@Archimarathon I haven't but your recent videos on Canberra have inspired me to check out these projects myself once Melbourne lock-down is lifted!
Yeah since overseas travel won’t be for a while still sadly
That is a great analogy of value engineering. But garages are good examples of multiple modes of circulation in one confined space. Lots of bad examples and few great ones.
This video gives substance to the adage that architects only architect to impress other architects. That said, I also get excited about little things in our built environments that few other people appreciate, so I can totally relate.
Next, please give your opinions on the mad max carpark (if you haven't already)

if value management is a synonym for value engineering which is the term i’m familiar with, then you are ‘looking a gift horse in the mouth’ probably because what you think of as the ‘beating heart of your project’ is not valuable enough to be protected by everyone at all cost, probably because it’s about what it is rather than what it does, what it enables.
ie, not the value it has but the value it produces.
value meaning any or all of utility/use value, exchange value, economic value, price value, sign & symbol value, and total experiential value.

Thanks for pointing that out. Cheers
