    Love this guy, answers so many of my feelings around citires being torn down for corporate greed. A measure of `state corruption in its Architecture. . Fc_k Modernity.

      It's not just corporate greed, in northern Europe and I bet many other places (whole former soviet union is a good well known example) the state/politicians are the ones that started it and keeps it going. It was only after that when the citizens start to think there aren't any other options, that greedy corporations can use it to get away with boxy slightly cheaper housing. Even today I think a lot of it is ideological rather than economical, because the companies that build the houses hire an architect/architect firm to tell them what is fashionable and sought after by the customers, and aren't knowledgeable enough to know when they get fed ideological lies.

    I think Krier is immense in his reflections, he defines new and rich temporal spatial relations. I place it at the levels of Deleuze in part is post-structuralist although I can not make dialogue with spatial temporal and volumetric relations consequently with the archetypes themselves and the architectural types , known to the neorealist current(Rossi, Siza and others..). It's surely art like Bohm but he does not add new theoretical definitions such as De Portzamparc in the open block.

    Leon, I despise skyscrapers and modernism as much as you. Let's demolish all that rubbish and bring back beauty.

    Bilbao is Great..Frank Gehry did some epic work, using aeronautical skin Materials ..but it is a Disruptor..a Disruptor to the existing Zeitgeist..Mr. Goldfinger, all he wants is Gold..and data, and lots of Cameras..lol...we must choose the Reality we decide to inhabit, settle, work in..Queen Anne..had the classical inclination..maybe, we ll get to see Queen Anne, version 2.0 some day...lol. Haussmann who redesigned, and modernized Paris in the XIX TH century gave all these issues Deep thought and I think Lyon got a similar Update from the Romans..circular grand avenues like Washington DC, Paris, and Detroit.

    11:20 "Who knows what expresses our time? Nobody knows! It's complete BS to think that you are an agent of the spirit of our time"
    This perfectly pinpoints the type of arrogance that in all fields end up destroying the thing they claim to promote. They say that they know what everyone else needs, despite only thinking about themselves.

    I think Haussman..5 stories with a mezzanine setback got it right..With Elevator technology nowadays, it is a compromise between too much Sprawl and too much Density..Taillibert is a modernist sculptor ..let him stick to that coz his structures are very expensive to maintain, uses technology monopolized by certain big builders which helps nobody, and 10x the cost of anything. In Montreal, after paying 1 Billion for the Big O, they now want to spend another 800 Million $ to make it useable and safe..new fixed roof, reinforcements, and replacement of structural elements.

    Good Architecture is like a Good Business that has a social license to operate..it involves, not just taking every square inch of a lot, but engaging, Give Back, have pleasant spaces, and terraces, accessible to All. Letting somebody build 35 stories can be done, given air rights,..another way of indemnifying the Neighborhood for the Shade cast on a Neighborhood.....Mixity of low and high structures with mixed uses that are intergenerational..not Ghettos of Old here, kids there, youth somewhere else. Let's Unite in more than Words..Good Architecture must reflect that. Frank Lloyd Wright had some of the same concerns with his idea of a true American Architecture, Prarie Style or Funertary Buildings in the USA.But more narcissistic, hedonistic with things like Falling Water.

    A Backlash against traditional architecture and Speer s Reincarnation of it..possibly..its a theory..In 1984, he founded the company Büro Albert Speer & Partner in Frankfurt am Main.He was responsible for the design of Expo 2000 in Hanover, design of the Shanghai International Automobile City, and the central axis in Beijing created while serving as lead designer for the 2008 Olympics.[7][8] Speer was part of the architectural firm involved in Munich's bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics,[9] and in the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
    He died on 15 September 2017 at the age of 83 in Frankfurt am Main. His Dad, also an architect, was a Hitler Minister and probably a Criminal by association with this regime., probably should have been hanged...but his Architecture was Good.

    They tried to build a good capital in Australia, Canberra, it has only 7 good buildings, the rest is ticky tacky boxes. It is a depressing place. Needs pulling down if only we could do something about it. Australia is ruled by descendants of jailers, unimaginative clots.
