Initially, modernism in architecture was a breath-taking and exhilarating break with the past. All the clean lines, the lack of decoration seemed, well, modern. Over time, however. It came to seem that buildings were being formed by cookie cutters or turned out on assembly lines with no opportunity to differentiate them from all other buildings of the same type. So postmodernism seems to be a necessary corrective.

lol Gotta love today interior designers. Make everything look like a doctors office. White, sterile and bland.

Not me, 😊. This is hospitality/commercial design

The majority of m9dern architecture is ugly that's why more people than not hate it.

Thanks

such a great video

All utter garbage... we need a return to traditional architecture!

Just another provocative tastles and ugly designer kitch, nothing more. Harmony, style and beauty? Forget it.

If modern architecture makes ppl depressed does that mean it fulfils its function or it doesnt?

Modern buildings are just awful . Period.

But wouldn't the endermen take it? Seems like a bad idea.

Nature can be wonderful yes we treated fair. It’s right before your eyes serious

do interior designers work like they go to the house and do the work like paint, put the couches and other things too.

Post modernism is varied and complex (sometimes just complicated for complicated sake’s to seem complex, much like many variants of modernism) so it’s hard to label everything under one name. The most important thing to come out of it was pluralism and killing off the modernist idea of a universal meta narrative. The biggest problem with PoMo was it’s comercial and ironic (borderline nihilistic at times) side, which with the economic system of the times produced in mass a lot of crap. The best things were the reaction to the modernists lack of care for the urban environment, communities and context. With it we saw the rebirth of a lot of vernacular architecture, better critical regionalism further detached from international models and the revival and acceptance of actual non-ironic classical/traditional architecture. If it wasn’t for PoMo we wouldn’t have great architects like Robert Stern.

starts at 3:50

Loved the video and would like to build a rammed earth house in Bulgaria.

I absolutely can't stand it it's so ugly and depressing

I mean, it looks better than modern architecture.

'yoko na😃

Humans do not cause climate change! So much misinformation!🙄

I agree 😊

I love the idea of "universal design." I'm reminded of trying to change my baby's diaper in a restaurant bathroom that had an awkward fold down changing table but not a single hook or surface to place the diaper bag on (besides the floor). Another time I was at a kid's party at a bowling alley and a dad needed to change his daughter's diaper but there was no changing table in the men's room. I love how this makes it clear that good design is not an us and them situation. It benefits everyone.

Some look cool to me while others look like glorified homes for Patrick Star. He knew about it when he made that sandcastle.

I loathe modern architecture it feels anti-human depressive cold and soulless. The sterilized nature of it with its lines not found in nature is just so anti-human there's no beauty in it

A nicely balanced and articulated presentation. For me, what matters most in a painting I am viewing is to what extent it engages me perceptually, viscerally, or emotionally. It doesn't matter what style of painting it is. The effect it has on me is a reflection of my inner experience, or consciousness.

so much drama just to get a roof over our heads

Deconstructionism and post modernism really sucks

ahem.. concrete, brick, glass, are all made from the earth. Just highly refined & engineered.

Music, I get because it makes me feel something. And if there’s words I’m also connecting to the message. But after watching your video, I wonder if abstract art is my country music - it’s just not for me. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Too bad it is a shitty Apartheid State. Free Palestine 🇵🇸❤️✌🏽

I love interior design. And appreciate those who do this design work the way foodies love chefs.

It’s a load of pretentious, hideous crap and everybody hates it. Blows my mind that this ugly garbage keeps getting built no matter how much people keep on rejecting it.

Wow, this is really well done! Thanks for the video 😁

as a minimalist I enjoy modern architecture, I understand it can be soulless for some but I think the beauty of a city comes from the interaction between the modern the old the nature and the people, Tokyo is a great example of a beautiful non pretentious city.

Can see it from our hotel, right now the outside is covered in some type of fabric 🤷🏻‍♀️ that has pictures of the building . You can’t see the original building now

love postmodern architecture

What I think really kills modern architecture is computer aided drafting and rigid 3d drafting programs like Revit. The copy clip mentality guarantees monotony. The limited blocks are based on readily available standard industrialized products that have made craftsmanship and artisans obsolete in an an attempt to build cheaper buildings in shorter periods of time. The lack of permanence and a throw away mentality has lead to ever increasing levels of urban decay, pollution and environmental destruction.

Most of us don't like it, and yet we keep on replacing with this. It makes me sad about the collapse of architecture after WWII. Most everything built now is simplistic, misshapen, and ugly. We don't even wear nice clothes anymore.... garbage is often strewn on our streets now. And maybe the most telling: the so-called "modern" public statues of ourselves we sculpt often look hideous and misshapen too. I have had a theory about this..... I feel that humanity as a whole collectively feels ugly because of what it is doing to the planet. All the mounting extinctions of our cousins the animals are weighing on us. Is this a subconscious expression of it?

This was really wonderful -- thank you! I will share this with my colleagues, who, like I, guide architecture tours in Boston with @Boston By Foot. One point: at about 1:30 you identify Kallmann, McKinnell and Knowles as the architects of Boston City Hall Plaza. Not so, they only did Boston City Hall. The lead architect for the project, including the layout of the plaza, was I.M. Pei. The building shown in the rearground of the photo at 1:30 is the JFK Federal Building by The Architects Collaborative, a Cambridge, Massachusetts firm led by Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius.

Art expressions at it best is a subjective reaction to the present in its own time. Thats what make art exclusive and a uniq reprecentation. These paintings is a reprecentation of that. Good or bad? It is what it is - our time.

Thank you for highlighting the renovations and restorations of an historic structure! What a great idea for a RUclips Video that I hope you'll make into a series. I will watch every one! I don't know that I can pick a favorite historical building, because I love so many of them! I'm a huge fan of classical architectural styles, so restoring those buildings always gets me! So here's a list of a few historical landmark buildings I love: Mount Vernon; Old College at my alma mater, University of Delaware; and Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest, just down the road from me near Lynchburg, VA.

25 seconds in and I see a building from my university! LOL As for the topic - I appreciate the idea behind post-modernism as a big middle finger to the absurdly boring "modern" structures from the 50's onward. The designs are often playful, clever, inspiring, and fun to look at. Some look like a drunk piled some Legos together, to the extent that no one in the room shouted "The emperor has no clothes" when the design was presented to the board for approval. Personally, I'm a fan of classical architectural forms in general, and "adaptive reuse" of historical structures whenever possible (instead of tearing them down). But I like when a post modern design can take cues from the local landscape in order to build something pleasing to the residents as well as clever and fun.

IMHO Brutalist is BRUTALLY UGLY 🤮

I like your channel.

Let's bring wit and creativity back into architecture!!

We moved from Human architecture towards an Ideology architecture, sad

Such architecture is an assault on the human mind and spirit. It comes from the pit of hell.

Fungus. That's why we don't anymore. Fungal lung infections, such as valley fever are life-threatening... And that's with the dry earth being kicked up in the southwest United States. To the north, there's more health issues with a nasty black mold... Think you'll get away from health complications by building with granite blocks? Think again! Lots of granite is mildly radioactive and dumps radon gas into the environment, which is a major contributing factor for lung cancer in people who don't smoke... There's a reason why we build with wood. It's abundant, potentially sustainable and a replenishing resource (if you're responsible about it). Be aware that lots of the bullshit lumber from China is imbedded with formaldehyde, which it off-gasses into homes when idiots make furniture with it. 😂
