Im Great admirer of Stone houses & of course exquisite masonry... I love how everyday walking up to beautifully laid stones will reminde u that how much effort, time, love, craftsmanship has hone into making ur dream home... Also stone houses has a sense of Permanence (Forever feel), Safety, stability, architechtural taste, & Great Warmth while they can look most modern or Rustic, classy at the same time! I love how it signifies my appreciation for workmanship, & exclusivity as literally NO other Building in the world can have the same Pattern of the stone laying as U have... Just like our finger prints the pattern becomes finger print of the house... Its admirable how stone vindicates our history from where we started as cavemen to all the modern advancements we now have... ♥️
Thanks Eric. As a Landcape Architectural Masters student, I found this discussion on Materials very insightful. It is essential to choose the appropriate Vernacular and Period materials that tell a story for a given project, particularly in my country, UK. We have such a varied regional history to preserve that reflects the local environment, its heritage and culture and protecting the natural habitat, its ecology and the wildlife who abide there. The Built Environment is an integral part of the natural landscape so relying on the knowledge of local craftspeople is invaluable for a complimentary solution.
soooo imformative esp the way you narrate. simple straight to the point no distractions. why you only have 50k subs is beyond me. keep up the great work!
I am a first year architecture student and I have an insatiable thirst to know and learn as much as possible. I have so many ideas but I need to learn how to translate them into technically understandable things
Old and NEW. Yes! Traditional and modern materials fused. Brickwall interiors for the basement, inspired by bunkers. Perhaps retaining the car park slope or part of it, lay bricks and stones leading to the basement. Gives the feel of walking down into a dungeon. Concrete wall on the second floor curving at the frontage. Wall art can be sculpted or installed/displayed at the sides facing road and the walkway towards 313. The top rest of the building, maintaining the current width and height? so as not to lose sight of the curves of 313. To be modern in design.
It is really an impressive presentation about the importance of communication between us, the users, and the building. Very well analysed and clearly presented.
I'm glad that addressed the fact that the use of materials can be subjective. As an architect do you spend a great deal of time listening to the client's needs for the space in relationship to the landscape surrounding the perspective home?
Your video's are so informative. Thank you. I watch during the day when I work from home in the hope that some of the information trickles into my brain :o)
Hello Eric, based in your experience have you tried an organic materials such as bricks made from clay, ash, cow dung etc.. These materials is good for use in interior?
Thank you for your super clean and informative videos, sir! I've always imagined that stone/brick walls have a different "time look" than a concrete or plaster wall for example. I mean that when you look at a stone or brick or wall you can feel how it's been built stacking stones on top of each other or when you see a concrete or plaster wall there's no gradation, it's like made in 1 step. I don't know if I'm saying anything that makes sense but it does in my head. Materials have different time.... states..? I don't know I got confused.. :)
mm.. yes.. astute.. well... sure.. O_o I don't know about astute /funny word tho/ but I know that for example orthodox churches were usually built with 2 types of stones which represent daytime and after sunset. The 2nd type are usually darker stones /or bricks/ and are less rows in a roll than the daytime ones.

precisely...I get your point, the handcrafted nature is evident in each material but it's made manifest in different ways...very astute...
mm.. yes.. astute.. well... sure.. O_o

Great insights, thank you.
