F A N T A S T I C ! ! ! ! I have learnt just so much here. Thank you for doing such a thorough job of researching the great ideas of Architecture. I am planning to build my own farm house in Kenya and this has become my resource manual to test my ideas and guide my architect... Ahsante sana!!
Love your arch documentaries, they're so interesting. Could you do more of how mathematical geometry influences Architecture? I'm interested in Middle Eastern designs, how religion affects design
As someone who is not an architect but took a loan to buy something similar to a "terraced house" and learnt upon technical audit that the developer took some liberties with the ventilation plans - I do not agree with the harsh critique of "health, safety and welfare". Even the most creative, interesting and experimental design does mean nothing when there is mold in the walls...
You should change the title to Top Ten Ideas in Modernist Architecture. These ideas only apply to Modernist architecture. Dont forget that Modernist architecture is only a small part of all of Architecture.
Most of the concepts and ideas you discuss were already dated and stale when I attended architecture school 40-45 years ago. I think most architects today would find your list to be laughable, especially women who make up over 50% of graduates from architecture school in the US but are completely unrepresented in your patriarchal stroll down memory lane relative to the history of architecture. You appear to be stuck in rationalism even when discussing trans-rational concepts such as beauty and spirit of place (genius loci). You still seem to believe in the validity of Descartes’ statement, “I think, therefore I am” which in reality is exactly backwards. I encourage you to eschew your hyper-rational dualistic perspective for something more integral in nature that embraces unity, immediacy, intuition, and paradox as fundamental aspects of human experience.
He gave his opinions, perception, knowledge facts, perhaps instead of a reactional comment, make your own list that you think is right or that satisfies your views and perceptions and upload it and share with people, would be a much more productive experience that way, willing learners may benefit from both views.
When I was in architecture school I was very much against Modernism and Postmodernism and the 'hyper-rationalism' you critique here. This has built the modern city and modern architecture so people should understand the built environment is based on these core concepts. I have developed my own ideas which I call "Person-Centered Architecture" which rely on deep humanism. But this video isn't about my ideas. The intent of this video is to explain where we are now and how we got here.

Thanks so much!
Wow, a lot of really interesting ideas I haven’t heard about before! I feel like I’ll be coming back to this video a lot
Thanks Jaime youre a genius at teaching love these videos and will come back for more.
Love the work you do, sir. Verey inspiring. Thank you.
Another banger video. Thanks a lot for these videos!
Love your arch documentaries, they're so interesting. Could you do more of how mathematical geometry influences Architecture? I'm interested in Middle Eastern designs, how religion affects design
Thanks! Doing a video on Islamic architecture would be great. Maybe next year!
Great film. I learned a lot 🎉 thanks
What is the building at 29:34?
Philip Johnson's "Glass Cathedral" in Pittsburgh.

Yes, these are the ideas that shape the modern city and architecture.
