I also love classical architecture, if only they implemented the education for classicism in our architecture schools, but they instead teach the modern language.
Does modernism even have a language? Anyway, there are summer courses in classicism in several universities. I plan to do it sometime during my architecture education.
@@SebastianvonThaden indeed. Modernist architecture is an ideology. I mean when you draw anything that is not modernist on architecture college the professors almost go insane and yell at you! How else can we call it but a cult! This ideology that claims moral superiority because "it is of our time" which makes no sense as many buildings look like they are stuck in 1960s. It claims it is the ultimate goal of architecture, some final evolution, but in reality it looks dated in just 20 years. So they have to reinvent it every decade. With endless post modern fads. However we are always silenced because "you don't get it, you are not an architect"
@@theawesomesausage good question. It perhaps doesn't have any language. It just pretends it is something serious. Just like it brags about being functional. It is not actually functional, it just suggests functionality. Ironicly they call "Historicist" architecture "fake" but it actually seems like modernism is the biggest fake of them all. It claims it is the ultimate solution for everything and claims moral superiority but it is neither of that.
I think anyone who wants to make a compelling argument for neo-classical building in the modern era must be able to refute the theoretical work of Venturi and Eisenman. This ain't it, Boss.
Hey man I'm trying to get into architecture (without actually pursuing a career in it, just want to have an opinion on buildings) and from the other comment thread you seem to know what you're talking about. Can you tell me where I could read that theoretical work or do you have any other recommendations for material I should familiarize myself with?
@@kecksohn Getting into architecture just to have an opinion is difficult, so many things go into designing comfortable (which implies aesthetics too) and affordable (so it's feasible to build) human habitat, you have to know about construction, economy culture, history... each building is a response to very specific needs in very specific contexts (economic, social, climatic, material...) I suggest going into it with humility and starting with whatever gets you interested. Reading about the history of architecture is a good way to do it. how did we go from the cavern to the skyscraper? what motivated every specific change or development? There's an interesting series called "architectures" by Richard Copans, each chapter is about a single building, historic, modern and contemporary, analyzing them deeply. Its a good way to see the reasoning behind design decisions. Or search for something about construction techniques.
Much gratitude to you, dear Professor! You educate us in topics so significant. Greetings from Greece
Thank you, nice compliment!

yeah, that is ideology..

Thank you !!
What are you thoughts on Beylerbeyi Palace in Turkey?
