5:20 it’s quite complex topic, generally they need to be beautiful enough that no one WANTS to demolish them and flexible enough that no one NEEDS to demolish them. (Even if both of these points are true maintenance could become unjustifiably high because of evolving markets but we can’t predict that.) Another point to consider is that an over emphasis on starchitecture inspires imitation work that suffers from the weak points of good examples but doesn’t benefit from their strong points.
It's funny that you mention this building. I studied there and really like it. The technical part is also very interesting. They had to conceive a new concrete for the slab, which had to be cast in one go. They cast the slab In 3 days , and for this they requisitioned almost all the concrete mixers in the region. And for those who say there's not enough space, it's because the building is so nice that everyone wants to go there. ;)
5:20 well said students avoid curvy floors cuz instructors always tell us to have functional plans and what not. while it is important to have functional plans, its not absolute. i had an argument with my friend about a master's project that was too futuristic in its subject and execution, the project consisted of an empty atrium going upto 50m and the another atrium going 50m underground which had all the project functions. my friend thought the empty atrium was pointless since it served no function and the 50m underground functions could have been executed better on the ground or above floors and i defended the idea that monumental projects can have such functionless elements in them.
@@ivangrebennikov799 Probably depends on the country, but here 1:12 for outside/wet , 1:8 for interior as long as you have resting stops. Also for steeper zones you can do a terraced serpentine (see sanaa's rolex center plan)
Actually the rolex learning center is very inclusive. There are no stairs and in the few places where the slope is large there are serpentines and even a small railcar thing.
I know the Rolex very well, it's a failure and a waste of space for all students, creating artificial scarcity in number of tables most of the time. You need to be there at 7 am to get a study space during exams. Also there's only one toilet for 100 people need I say more what a sad story...

Glad to hear it! Will keep them comming~
Loved your analysis and insight to the project. Thank you

They are indeed cool!

Oh that's a really interesting thing to add!

The studio never left, it's coming back for you.
Great series! Its like candy when i see it my feed.
Glad you enjoy it! Next one comes out today!

Instructors should be brave...er...
"Beautiful architecture that people want to protect is inherently more sustainable than ugly architecture that is "efficient"". Period.
It's true!
Буду очень признателен за серию про японскую архитектуру и\или бюро Sanaa. Именно с точки зрения архитектора, а не искусствоведа. Спасибо)
The main problem with making curved floors, is that my teachers will complain about inclusivity.
Depends on the slope~
@@geddan ughh.. when it's 1:12 it doesn't look like a slope anymore!

people seem to be divided on this with the majority being positive towards it
@@geddan people are in a love story with their suffering
