Phillip Johnson does not belong on this list and Alvar Aalto is a glaring omission. One leading historian of modern architecture, William J.R. Curtis, would say that Corb, Mies, Wright, Aalto and Kahn were the most significant/influential/consequential modern architects.
Excelente lista ! Muchos son arquitectos de lo monumental, Le Corbusier se preocupó por lo pequeño que es la vivienda, el problema más grande y antiguo , para ello dejó abierta la senda de que la industrialización es el camino para resolver la deficiencia habitacional, una vivienda es una máquina para habitar, es decir es un instrumento que permite satisfacer necesidades primordiales del hombre, por eso hay que evolucionar en su construcción, porque la humanidad aumentó en número, un gran maestro !
Niemeyer and Saarinen are glaring omissions. Both were more influential than Scarpa or Nervi. Saarinen's connection to Yale establishes a direct lineage between him and Rodgers and Foster. You can even glimpse the future (i.e., Zumthor and others) in Saarinen's Yale residential colleges. I would also take Neutra over Johnson. Johnson followed the trends from the International Style to Postmodernism. Though not intentionally, but more because of the clarity of his work, (specifically its massing and detailing), Neutra almost single-handedly created the style that we know today as midcentury modern. ... Gehry is NOT a modern architect. To make that point, Phillip Johnson labeled Gehry a Deconstructivist. Gehry also does NOT belong that high on any list. He is a designer of spectacular forms. On the inside, his buildings are sheetrock palaces with no profound understanding of human scale, movement, and atmosphere. As to SOM, its modern reputation is more or less the product of one architect (Gordon Bunshaft) and perhaps one building. It's not the Hancock Center, but the Lever House in New York.
Good points. I had to limit the list to ten, so impossible to include everyone. I focused on influential concepts, and not how good each architect was. Scarpa is on this list as he was one of the first Modern architect to incorporate historic elements with the new. This is very important when doing renovation projects, or building in existing cities. Nervi was one of the first to nail down how to incorporate modern building materials and modern structural engineering into Modern architecture. He is the direct inspiration for Calatrava. Johnson invented the lie of the 'International Style'. Modernism wasn't international, nor was it a style. Modernism was a way of working, and a process. He reduced it to a 'style'. It was also not 'International', it was Northern European. He also brought the German Bauhaus to the U.S. and promoted 'industrial design' as a new art form. He also invented the term 'Postmodernism'. He wasn't the best architect, but his social influence was great. Both for good and bad. You are right Gehry is a Postmodern architect, but I included him on this list because his profound effect on the profession. His office basically invented 3D modeling for complex geometries in architecture using Catia. There would be no Zaha Hadid or Bjarke Ingels without the design process he pioneered. Architects probably wouldn't be using Revit now if not for the success of this way of working. SOM invented the image of the Modern skyscraper, and they have been pioneering how to work with international and regional clients while still being Modern.
Well said, I do respect Gehry because he doing his own thing, he is experimenting, he is trying to figure out who he is, I respect that, I don't like his work but I respect his journey.
@@rurathn5534 As an undergrad at Yale, I took Vincent Scully's Modern Architecture course. He did not mention any Nervi buildings. He did mention Saarinen and the engineering of his projects. He must have felt obligated because I learned later he was not fond of his work. Of course, Scully later changed his tune. Whatever the case, if Scully did not find Nervi influential enough to mention, I dare say I am not wrong to think he was not as influential as Saarinen.
I lived in New York City for 13 years. I passed through Walter Gropius' Pan Am building lobby hundreds of times coming out of Grand Central Terminal; was employed at 270 Park Avenue for two years (Skidmore, Owings and Merrill) a building which has since been dismantled and is being rebuilt as a mega-tall skyscraper; and worked around the corner from Mies' Seagram Building (52nd and Park Ave) where I spent many hours sitting on its plaza and experiencing its excellence.
Whatever one thinks of the list, what I found hopeful as an non-architect was an acknowledgement that the major trends of the 20th Century were the tail wagging the dog. The tail was the corporate world and it's architectural fulfillment in the "International Style." We are the dog, and what Wallace Harrison (Empire State Plaza) did not learn from Oscar Niemeyer's Brasilia, it is to be hoped that 21st Century architects have, i.e., that human beings want more than to be cogs in a corporate utopia.
How about Alvar Aalto, considered as one of 5 pioneer modernist architect, considered by architectural historians & critics/theorists(Giedion, Frampton) who influenced lots of Scandinavian/Nordic architects as well as other US Postmodern, Deconstructivist & Post- structuralist architects & designers of Mier, Gehry & even 3rd/4th generation of contemporary architects (Utzon & Saarinen) through his buildings, urban planning, interior, furniture/furnishing designs greatly influenced a humanist as well as environmentalist designs & architecture w/the sensible/sensitive Finnish response for places & people.
FLW brings in such a combination of elements. Most others on this list lean so heavily to concrete and glass. But I’m a wright fan so I’m probably biased 😂
Thanks for list. I’d include some more architects who influenced residential home building. It seems to me that the homes we live in influence us more than a public building we may see only a few times. Cliff May is a favorite.
Alvaro Siza, maybe after ten but i love him so much. Beauty lirism minimalistic version of Aalto, hero of sudeuropa that made beautiful things also all over the world.
As an architect I agree with all the architects on the list but one, that would be Philip Johnson. He wasn't a particularly good architect he was however a power broker and connected. There are a host of other architects with equal influence. Saarinen comes to mind. Johnson did a few buildings and talked a lot, copied the trends and talked a lot.
I love listening to your videos while doing my plates. Your videos are great, and they really inspire me to pursue architecture. I'll look forward to seeing more of your videos. Please continue making more videos.
the tower concept in architectuer has ruined human habitat. Eco-friendly architecture is the need. When I walk in Thane the Tower Architecture covers the blue sky above us besides water and sanitary issues. Thanks Ranjan
In the late 20th century, I saw a "post, beam, panel" architecture of the Arab palaces. They were not for outsiders. They had huge spaces, with protective elements against the heat and dryness of their world. Just enough light, but with expansive spaces, and sheltered privacy.
So where are we now? What ideas drive architecture today? Sustainability (I don’t think so)? A poor capitalist take on modernism? Capitalist branding architecture? I’m about to graduate from architecture school and I have no motivation to find a job because there is no direction as to what is contemporary.
There was a fad in the 2000s for 'Starchitects'. Folks like Gehry, Koolhaas, Hadid, Holl, Calatrava, Piano, and others. This was because of the 'Bilbao Effect' created by Gehry. There was a huge backlash against this in the profession, and now the big thing is being socially responsible. Equity and diversity, sustainability, Net-Zero, etc... . The architecture profession loves fads, and jumps on whatever is the latest thing because architects are always trying to be 'relevant'. If you are just graduating I suggest finding out what you are passionate about and following that. Don't follow fads. They don't make for a long satisfying architectural career.
Excellent presentation. Precise in relating the essentials. And very convincing. Indispensable for students and others alike. Great quotations from the masters.
What, no Gaudi? no Hadid? no Utzen? no Tadao Ando? no Arne Jacobsen? no Richard Rodgers? This list seems somewhat US centric in terms of influence. I am no architect...but my father was, and my views reflect both his influence and all that influenced him as well as my continued love of the architectural art form for some 50 years now. I am just grateful there are so many great architects who ably demonstrate the importance of the spaces we occupy so that when humans have an impact it is either minimal or inspirational or both
Yes. Great idea. Modern architecture is all about German and Northern Europeans and bringing this to the U.S. after WWII. I'll try to do a video on non-Western architecture soon.
In the context of Nervi influencing Calatrava, should Gaudí not be mentioned as maybe the first to take structural lessons from nature which many others have adopted since?
I love your channel. I am a fine-artist and illustrator, and do concept art. Your videos are immensely insightful. I would love to see you deal with turn of the century architecture like Gaudí or elements from art deco and art nouveau.
I very much appreciate your videos, thank you for creating them. With that said, I disagree with your list, especially Corbu as number one. As others have mentioned, Lautner, Aalto and Kahn don’t get even a mention
For me, FLW is No.1 in everything. Though at heart I'm really a M. Safdie guy. Living in Spaces is what it's all about as his Habitat in Montreal is, has been, always the ideal.

I was at falling water and the tour guide asked what you notice about the walkway and it's cantilevered, and then he said that only 5 people in 3 years said that with tours all day every day. I have an engineering degree so I'm cheating. But the reason why architecture is interesting is that it's like playing Ginga and art. If people can't see that something looks like it should tip over than how do you do that? It's not really even a cantilevered walkway. It's really curved around it's center of gravity. Cantilevered means that a beam is sticking out of a wall but the but with less beam outside than inside. The walkway has the legs on the edge of the roof, and it's not really cantilevered. It's an optical illusion because the center of gravity is in the middle of the air. It's like if you have Escher drawing with the stairs intersecting and someone doesn't realize that it's tricky to think of that. People now think the steps are real. People are extremely dumb now. People used to at least work or do things like ride bicycles so they would experience basic physics and question reality. Computers had made people dumb as dirt. The computer is socialism. You don't think on your own with an app. The app gives you an objective like Coco the monkey using an app, and you don't really have to think.
Não mencionar Oscar Niemeyer foi um erro grave desse documentário ... sem desmerecer nenhum dos arquitetos mencionados ... mas Oscar Niemeyer projetou uma cidade inteira que é Brasilia , capital do Brasil
Did Johnson copy Le Corbusier's dark rim glasses? Uncanny. I would ike to learn more on how the Pilotis has shapped modular, pre-fab homes being built where the purchaser can have their windows placed anywhere since the homes are specifically designed to have non-load bearing walls. BTW. what do you think of the UCSD Library as architectural use of space?
Yes. Johnson and many architects copy Corbu's glasses. I haven't been to the UCSD Library so I can't say if the spaces work or not. But not a big fan of Brutalism.
Mies had the Farnsworth fully designed by 1947, due to construction delays it was not built until '50-'51. Johnson's house was constructed between 1948 and 1949.
One of the things that I hate about false architects now is that in architecture there are rules in making things both too small and too big. Like doorknob can be too big. If you’re not doing that type of analysis you’re not doing architecture. It’s like giant exhausts on Hondas that reduce power.
Why are there any japan architect like 1- Sou Fujimoto 2- Itsuko Hasegawa 3- Tadao Ando 4- Toyo Ito 5- SANAA 6- Arata Isozaki 7- Kisho Kurokawa 8- Junya Ishigami 9- Hiroshi Nakamura 10- Hata Tomohiro
True, a great American architect; my only hesitation is his craft not quite in tune with the technology of his time. In a way, the American lay culture is still reflected in the delayed appreciation of modernism; still hung up for Moldings and the faking of materials for one up man ship among the Joneses.
There is definitely an argument for it, but I think Le Corbusier had a much larger effect on city planning, while Mies is just influential for building design.
Modern Architecture is a laziness. Rennaissance architecture was more superior, That's what America needs is more profound Architects with a Heaven like Eye View.
Each one have pinnacles of design so it's hard to have a favourite. Though Scarpa is quintessential Italian of old/ modern elegant integration. My least favourite is Gehry. You forgot Piano Renzo.

There is definitely an argument for it, but I think Le Corbusier had a much larger effect on city planning, while Mies is just influential for building design.
Or you could leave him off the list
Arsitektur yang luar biasa
Modern Architecture is a laziness. Rennaissance architecture was more superior, That's what America needs is more profound Architects with a Heaven like Eye View.
people tends to like different things, what a surprise!!
Niemayer?
Each one have pinnacles of design so it's hard to have a favourite. Though Scarpa is quintessential Italian of old/ modern elegant integration. My least favourite is Gehry. You forgot Piano Renzo.
Dear brother my fav is Mies Van Der Rohe
You left out Oscar Niemeyer
In comments many people agreed.
Absolutely disagree with Frank Lloyd´s third place position. There were Oscar Niemeyr, Saarinen, Alto and so many. But ok, it´s a matter of oppinion
