did you know any/all of these principles?👀 ALSO IM SO SORRY FOR THE EDITING MISTAKE LOLZIES. I already spent maybe 30hrs producing this video and the export took 7 hours. I caught it after I uploaded it. so sorry xx Nat
I am an incoming architecture student and was unsure how I was going to survive school with only having an appreciation for historical architecture, but you really made me see the beauty in modern design as well ✨
Im sorry im not trying to hate but what youre talking about in the video is mostly Modernist architecture which is only a small branch of architecture. Your title should be called Modernist architectural principles since its more accurate to the video.
I joined architecture course in 1979 and I have heard many attempts at explaining "principles" when the fact is that a principle becomes one, when it is clearly defined and is measurable. Else it is quite a temporal/cultural opinion. Though I admire your passion and earnestness, I believe you are falling into the trap of using evocative words. Take "simplicity" for example: I am from India, and I have seen many poor people living truly simple lives. I once saw a pavement dweller sweeping her part of the pavement, in front of a hammock tied to a wall that contained her baby. To her, she was living as simply and frugally possible -- she identified that part of the pavement as her own house. But did the people on the street walking on that pavement see it that way? Will conventional architects see her lady's house that way? The irony of architecture as practiced by conventional architects is that our subject excludes a huge majority of people out there and we define architecture in very narrow, esoteric ways. These 10 "principles" you described has been the pot-holes that many others have also fallen into. So I don't blame you. We architects have all been there. Did you notice that except for the first principle "Functionality" the rest are ALL based on the sense of sight? Is that really the way it is, truly? Go look at really neat pieces of architecture designed by villagers -- and you can learn about organic architecture more than what you can from Falling Waters. I am not saying those are all bad examples; but there are lot of stories behind them which do not come up in social media. Falling Waters was designed rather hurriedly by Frank Lloyd Wright -- it would be interesting to know about that meeting where his client came to his office, and FLW made someone to give a guided tour of his office, as FLW took that time out to hurriedly sketch out the design. So nobody talks about the process, just the end results -- which, BTW, the cantilevered portions are slowly falling down and now you cannot access those parts of the building as they are dangerous. Now, don't read me wrong. Falling Waters is still a masterful project -- but, sigh, imagine what else he could have done and possibly there was a better building there had FLW got a lot more time developing more alternatives and picking a more suitable one.... Similarly, there is a much deeper story about Jorn Utzon's Sydney Opera House. It is worthwhile to understand why he swore that he will never return to Australia (and he really meant it ... it was his son and not him who later went back to give a lecture)... the list goes on and on. (Just search for "Edith Farnsworth House Is A Beautiful Disaster" here on TH-cam ... as another example) You seem to be a young architect and possibly influential too -- all the best for that -- so be careful about what you convey to impressionable minds. All of us architects (including me) need to really go out in the world and try to see from the point of views of the 99% of people we have excluded in our esoteric field. I can go on and on ... but that would be a lecture :-)
sir please, we truly need a lecture from you, I'm a high school student willing to pursue my studies in the field of architecture, and what you've written is completely new to me, please can you elaborate more on your point??
I would really appreciate if you'd guide me because I've just started my first year and I'd love if you'd mentor me through, please send me a social media or anywhere I can reach out to you please, I'd appreciate.
This is a pretty challenging topic, so kudos for trying to explain these concepts! Its hard to 'show not tell' when explaining abstract concepts. I would suggest more drawings and diagrams to explain these topics as video doesn't really show them. Ching's "Architecture, Form, Space, and Order" has lots of examples to draw from.
Glad it was helpful! Diagrams are always helpful too when explaining components. i have a few of Ching’s books too so I’ll be sure to review. thank you for the constructive feedback(:
@@georgewhitehouse8630 you misread my comment. I wasn’t calling anything perfect or less than perfect. I was referring to what the video was calling less than perfect.
Great as a crash course, albeit a bit repetitive in word choice. You say “carefully calibrated” a bunch of times, but it isn't really giving me much info.

No problem 😊
Thank you for your time ❤

The way you explain things with architectural examples is fabulous
thank you!!!

The way u r explaining is amazing

Farnsworth House is totally failed, based on an article that I read about 14 years ago
Very insightful!

Amazing video! Very well put together. One of the best on this topic, thank you!!!
I love it ✨
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I AGREE WITH YOU 100% ON EVERYTHING. GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING.
Please about the challenges that recent graduate had in the job and what can we do to overcome them
Very Indepth and detailed, Thank you ❤
of course!
Awesome
Nice video.........will be veryful for students
Please make a guide video on sketching in architecture
Yes please do it one!! Nataly
Is there any power point or word for that
I know that the answer is probably on but however thanks
what's the background music in this video?
It might be helpful to create a “principles” video show building that violate those principles, the ones deemed less than perfect.
Perfect for you isn’t the same for anyone

nice

I wouldn’t say that that bigass tall pointy spire is pointless?
