The auto captions don't do a good job here, so I transcribed as best I could.

Architecture belongs to the epoch and not even to the time as they say, to a real epoch, but it's the essence of the epoch and that is the only thing we really can express. You know you have to construct something you can make a garage out of it or you can make a cathedral out of it. It is the same means, the same structural methods we use. Gropius: My idea was always we have to do something together, we have to pull the whole thing together. We have to destroy the separations between painting and sculpture and architecture and design and so on, it is all one. van der Rohe: And I understood that I would not be for fashion in architecture. I would look for more profound principles. Gropius: The final aim of the Bauhaus for me was architecture. I thought there’s only one person I think he could really do it, that is Mies van der Rohe. Fortunately he accepted to take over the Institute and he again from his own personal point of view went much stronger into the architectural department and built up a new curriculum for architecture in the Institute. But very soon came the end of it, the Nazis destroyed it. He had to move away from Dessau to Berlin and very provisionally only he put it up in an old factory in Berlin. And after a very short while the Nazis closed the house and he couldn’t go on. van der Rohe: Most beautiful, the best building in New York, the Washington Bridge. You know, that grew. But first I had to conquer the idea and later I appreciated it as a beauty. Thomas Aquinas, he says reason is the first principle of all human work. Under the influence of science and technology I would ask myself, you know, “What can that be, you know, what result comes from this fact, you know? Can we change it or can we not change it? And the answer of this question, you know, gives me the direction which I followed. Not what I like. I throw often things out I like very much. They are dear to my heart. But when I have a better conviction, a better idea, a clearer idea, by that I mean, then I follow the clearer idea. Gropius: A man when he lives progressively very far utopian, then when he is getting old he is still fresh enough and young enough from the point of view of the others looking at him. van der Rohe: Now, when you have grasped at once, you know, then you act accordingly. So I would throw everything out that is not reasonable. I don’t want to be interesting I want to be good.
Bauhaus created some of the ugliest buildings on the face of the planet. The Seagram building is a waste of bronze. Sterile architecture for a sterile and dying world. More completely uninspired glass boxes please. The entire Bauhaus architectural theme was a go f yourself in terms of visual livability. The architecture literally hates the viewer. Awful does not begin to describe this visual garbage. "Words to live by." I get the feeling you would love to give his ghost a handy.
Fantastic. And I've just found a new channel I love. My whole life has been infiltrated with Bauhaus, even though for much of my life I didn't know it. As I ingest what I can find about it I am thrilled that what I have done with my life fits in perfectly with the Bauhaus model. I wish they could see the building I designed for myself to live in. I think Mies would love it.
Thank you. I was trained at IIT architecture by Mies first generation disciples Like Gene Summers, Ogden Hanford, George Schiperoit, Heinrich, Lazlo, Fujukowa and the great Alfred Caldwell. I never heard his voice. It means a lot to me.
Beautiful but there are some errors at the beginning, the first and last works presented under the Weissenhof Estate title are from Le Corbusier and the other from J.J.P. Oud, not Mies!
its the poster for the Weissenhof Exhibition "The new dewlling" 1927 in Stuttgart (designed by Willy Baumeister) where Mies was in charge for the buildingplan

Thanks, my man!

Many thanks for clarifying this for us! 🙏🏻
Thank you
‘I don’t want to be interesting, I want to be good.’ ❤️
That quote hit me hard
I just learned of this quote today and lands just as well as "Less is More!"
Express
I love his work. Heck, I love modernist architecture in general.
I finally hear mies voice! Thanks!!
he is my hero in architecture, looking at the modernism ilustrated in his work gives me shivers, so pleasing to look at !
Same! My dream is to live in a Mies original!
Less is more is so well defined that the unique thought of Mies has been adopted universally . Mies was futurist at heart
These buildings make as much sense as the incredibly uncomfortable furniture in them.
I think he viewed his work more like art and inspiration for others, he wanted to define a new movement in design and architecture.
"I don't want to be interesting, I want to be good!" Words to live by!

What is the name of The piano song?
“Less is more” is what I always say when an architect sends me a quote
The best quote of his career and the best principal of most things from culinary arts to fashion and design!

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL OF THE ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS FROM THE BAUHAUS MOVEMENT. STILL INSPIRES ME TODAY.
URGENT: Does anyone know the year that Mies, said the quote "Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space"?
I can assure you that I'm not illiterate but what does this mean - to you at least?

what is the image at the start with the red cross?
its the poster for the Weissenhof Exhibition "The new dewlling" 1927 in Stuttgart (designed by Willy Baumeister) where Mies was in charge for the buildingplan
does anybody realize how dem aesthetic his works and this video?
God is in the details.
I keep forgetting about his OTHER epic quotes! Like this one! Which is 100% true!
Anybody else hear Virgil Abloh in this video?
Less is more
less is more mies
Really boring when compared to older architecture like victorian era stone mason work or Gothic churches/cathedrals. This is is void of all life and doesn't make me feel good when waling past a glass and steel cubical office tower or a glass and steel house.
You know it's not boring...every time has its style.
And when I walk past Victorian or Gothic design I always am amazed at how overly ornamental it is, how over the top everything is, extremely loud, very off-putting to my eye. Which is why I love mid-century and contemporary minimalism, I always have since I was younger. It's beauty simplified
C’est l’epoque.
Gothic architecture was burgiouse and pointy because abbot suger wanted to live fancy and somehow justify it as appreciation of gods illumination, the verticality was supposed to be "reaching the heavens" in a very religious post-plague france where building of cathedrals was considered a ticket to heaven. Stone masons were costly labourers. The style of the times responds to so many variables, modernism was built for purpose with costs and utility in mind. Especially circulating wars, it was important to get things off the ground fast and effectively. For the paramaters given to the architect, they've always responded tastefully, it just can't always be ornamentally extra for the sake of looking at it - at the cost of everything else.
All the grandeur in architecture was possible in the past because of labour exploitation. Now is the architecture of democracy. You cannot spend crores of taxpayers money on a prime minister's house anymore. You clearly cannot build a Pantheon for 8 billion people. Instead of building a Tajmahal for one person through labour exploitation, we are building quality spaces for millions while providing fair labour. The architecture of the present seems minimal because the most valuable aspect of it are the humans residing in it.
