  • A skyscraper that channels the breeze ... a building that creates community around a hearth ... Jeanne Gang uses architecture to build relationships. In this engaging tour of her work, Gang invites us into buildings large and small, from a surprising local community center to a landmark Chicago skyscraper. "Through architecture, we can do much more than create buildings," she says. "We can help steady this planet we all share."

      actually... we should rethink every single building some day. why not just build one giant city in a symbiotik relationship with nature (trees, grass etc everwhere with herbivores and insects doing their thing). that would not just solve overpopulation but would also be a lot more practical if we really want to get forward as a species.

    Wow, designing balconies so that you can lean over and talk to someone on another balcony is very cool. You have the comfort of being on separate balconies, while you get to know each other. Then, if you hit it off, you can invite them over to your balcony to have a longer conversation. And the wind-calming design is brilliant, because you're not going to use your balcony, much less have a conversation, if it's windy. In the more boxy design at 11:33 one person's balcony obstructs the view from another apartment, and people can not only see someone on another balcony, but they can also look into another apartment, unless the curtains are drawn. So that design, on first glance, looks less appealing. The building for the Center for Social Justice looks spacious & beautiful from the outside and inside. Spaciousness, beauty, and a connection between the interior and outdoors are known to promote feeling spacious and more open & relaxed. Architecture is important. We tend to forget what it can offer, because so much of what we see and experience are boxes built with little or no thought to their social & psychological impact. Thanks TED for the reminder and inspiration!

    I like the idea presented in this video. There is just one more thing I would have added to the buildings: more nature. There was a german artist called "Hundertwasser" who worked on concepts to plant forests on the roofs of houses and so on.. if these concepts would have been considered in the process of designing these buildings it couldn't have been any better!

      Luca Sander exactly what i think of architecture / cities every day: we are humans. we can BUILD NATURE. why do we always have to seperate each other or us from our planet. we could build cities completely fused with nature... having something like a symbiotik relationship with it... as it should be.

      true, it's a step in the right direction. The only thing that it's lacking is a way to intigrate into nature. you know. some sort of slope so those plants can really belong to nature with it's insects and herbivores etc :)

    The wood is not being burnt..ok. But why choose to cut trees for walls in the first place? And how is this green?

    • @SafeTrucking
      @SafeTrucking 7 ปีที่แล้ว +61

      Because the wood comes from plantation trees and the carbon that it stores is then locked up in a wall for the life of the building. It is also relatively low in "embodied energy" since there is relatively little concrete used (concrete takes a lot of energy to make) and the wood undergoes minimal processing (which takes energy). In addition, you'll notice the mortar(concrete) is applied to the outside and inside of the wall, creating an insulating "dead air" space, while the wood itself has low thermal conductivity. It's a great solution.

    Tall buildings could use more than balconies to promote cohesion. Inside each floor usually we just have narrow lobbies connecting each apartment to the elevators. Small squares, playgrounds and even artificially lit community gardens could be used in each floor, or every 2 or 3 floors.

    i get where she is coming from completely and agree with like everything said apart from the fact the apartment she made called aqua or whatever it was called with all the balconies making it easy to socialise, its a great idea, but people DO want to be alone at times, we should aim for buildings that encourage social interaction and help build relationships but sometimes people do want their privacy. to combat that id make it so that there are certain sections in the balcony where no one else can see you from any angle and other places on the balcony where you can see everyone and they can see you, that way not only would you get your privacy, but people would know its ok to talk to someone if they're on the part of their balcony that lets them socialise easier, making conversations less awkward.

    And what about those who are anti-social? Those that want to get in and get out of a public place with minimal interaction? Those that want utmost home privacy and a balcony to enjoy without disturbance? People like that exist that are perfectly happy humans - it'd be wrong to say they "need" social interaction. I like this idea and could see it implemented in a few cities, but wouldn't expect its reach to be far.

    • @Tom_Des_Garcon
      @Tom_Des_Garcon 5 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      but these buildings dont force you to socially interact, they just make it a lot easier so that those who want to dont feel isolated. If someone doesn't want to talk and is sitting on their balcony and a neighbour says hi, it really isn't the end of the world, whereas if everyone, social and anti-social alike feels isolated because these plain glass giants are dominating every surrounding, it is a disaster, loneliness can lead to depression, and those big glass blocks are one of the factors causing this loss of identity, culture and making people feel lonely and isolated.

    • @dlwatib
      @dlwatib 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, wood expands with moisture. But maybe they were particularly generous with their wood sealant. Or maybe it is a temporary structure that will have to be replaced in 20 years when it crumbles too badly.

    so you're saying that because trees took in carbon dioxide, released oxygen and stored some minute amount of co2 when they were alive, that means that when you cut those oxygen producing trees down for your buildings you are some how helping reduce co2 in the atmosphere. That doesn't make any sense. While the building designs look pretty damn cool, your claim of it being at all any more Eco friendly than modern building Materials seems like bullshit to me. Its seems to be little more than a cool building with little function outside of social contexts.

      Trees are made of carbon that comes from carbon dioxide. When a tree grows, it "locks" that carbon out of the atmosphere and wood remains, a solid. The more carbon [atoms] we keep in wood, the less amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

    Infrastructure is the key to civilization. It is seen wherever humanity reaches a critically concentrated mass. Obviously it should be architected to the health and well-being of the diverse communities that make up our civilization.
    I believe it should be taken a step further.
    Combine infrastructure with other necessities of civilization. Start producing agriculture in underground facilities which provide solid foundations, metaphorically for the cities, and literally for the high-rise buildings above.
    Combine data distribution with mass transit- that is, use those green road tiles you've heard about as means of transporting data across vast distances, without the need of an entirely separate information line.
    These are the cities of the future.
    And if that seems maybe a bit irrelevant, you'll pardon me for getting excited.

    @JoshShuman 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Interesting video. The relationship between police and their communities is a real problem. Designing buildings with a specific emphasis on community-police interactions could foster real relationships, perhaps decreasing crime and increasing trust. And nobody enjoys living in an apartment complex where you know nobody and feel completely isolated (well, some people might, but what can you do). Social isolation has real health effects regardless, so that emphasis on physically constructed social engagement is kinda cool.

But here its made by pure authentic creative design where you can see nature was included in every buildings and meeting houses we hope to see eventually a house or building that looks like a giant tree but inside of that tree you can see as do everything you want at the same time the three is growing too..

      "negative comments" otherwise called criticism in the world of design. We architects know this better than most, because that's how we fashion great things. I think you're missing the point of a comment section; designers and creators need feedback, that's why we put our ideas in the open. And when you mislead tons of folks with a fake title, they'll letcha know ;)

    OK, she's proven that architects can be relationship builders... if they try really, really hard. I don't think we can generalize to all architects though. Modern cities are relationship killers. The City of Chicago built a dozen intimidating, alienating police stations before they built exactly one experimental relationship-building station at North Lawndale. That is the way modern cities are built. Multiply the mistakes, celebrate the few successes that manage to break out of the mold of mediocrity and call it done. What do we end up with? A few increasingly small islands of relationship-builders in a vast sea of relationship-killers. Now if she had told us that the City of Chicago had given her firm a contract to build a dozen more police stations following the same process as North Lawndale, and maybe even replacing some of the newly-built alienating ones, that would be impressive. That would demonstrate that the City of Chicago was committed to building more than just an occasional island of excellence in a vast sea of mediocrity, and indeed, they were committed to consistently replacing bad architecture with good architecture and rectifying the most egregious mistakes in the landscape.

      10 years ago, I thought TED was the greatest thing. But then either it turned into this, or I realized that I'm cynical. Maybe I'm not helping by writing comments dissenting enough that they just delete them from their forum (TED website), but I guess I'm about pointing out bullshit so that people don't have to be fooled. We're all fooled too easily. TED seems to be about collecting the $$$ that rich people pay to attend, not that I've looked into it at all. And having said that, justice is a nice goal, as long as it is actually just. Like trying to earn "green" brownie points saying that building with wood is like taking cars off the road. Wow. Did you actually use bullshit to mortar those logs into place? Not that I know anything about building.

      let's be fair here, she didnt focus on social justice so much as architecture and how it can affect relationships. it just so happened one of her examples was a job done for a social justice group
