Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I'd like to add that I don't think the title of this video fits with the actual video itself - it's more about why modern architecture has changed so much from traditional architecture from 5 different angles and why we should resurrect the concept that beauty matters.
Appreciate it but i dont think post-modernists can be won over with arguments.
Architecture is very emotional. I for example never understood how we decayed untill it visited Paris.
Family took me to the Museé d'Orsay which was the most jaw dropping place i've ever been up to that time and then they took me to a modern art museum who is "known for its revolutionary architecture" and the shock was the spark that lead me to how i think right now.
Exposure is our best weapon i'd argue.
I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this video. on one hand I agree, modern architecture has fallen to a point where aesthetics and design become an afterthought over cost and function. On the other hand, the presenter suggests that modern architecture in general has no real aesthetic beauty even despite providing a couple examples that say otherwise.
