One thing that comes to mind are the late 1940s and early 1950s Ontario highway overpasses, which while lightly reinforced, rely on a compressive arch to withstand most of the gravity loading. These have outlived almost all overpass structures built in the 1960s, which were made of reinforced concrete beams and slabs.

I think the goals of modern architecture in the sense that it wanted to sort of remove the building as much as possible as a barrier to the outside was an interesting idea, and was in some ways effective. However, the notion of form following function forgets thst form is a function. Our ability to connect with a building on a psychological level is meaningful.

I suspect ancient civilizations were just as advanced as us before the flood, and began building stone once they figured out weather weapons. My guess is the pre-flood civilizations achieved AI and built those UFOs the lizards are flying around in now.

As a 63-year-old person, I can't speak to what it's like to be in school right now. But, I generally agree with most of what this video says about design today. But, I do believe that there is a place for modern design. For example, living in Northern California, I think the Apple and Google campus designs are appropriate. But having traveled to three different continents in the last year, I believe that overall the design concepts of the past have true merit in the broader sense of our communities today. The one thing this video fails to address is how expensive it is today to create a building that have the details that our buildings in the past had. Maybe precast and 3D printing can reduce the cost of "details" of buildings. But generally, to add the details we have in older buildings is so expensive today. As a previous planning commissioner in my community for nine years, any building today has such a high cost. When land, materials, and labor are so expensive, how is it possible to create buildings with the wonderful details of the past? Teaching classical design is a great idea, but can you teach how building a classical designed and detailed building can be affordability built today?

I can see the authentic value of stone. I very much like looking at buildings made of stone. I think that with the proper stone and proper building methods a stone building can last centuries, which is a valuable feature and asset. I think that much of the problems we have with concrete is in our design and procedures. A steel reinforced concrete building could be built to last a thousand years or more. But often we settle for 50-100 years, then suffer the inconvenience of tearing it down, disposing of the waist, and having to build again. In America we are most concerned with the immediate necessitates and convince. We discount the future value of an asset so rapidly that we do not see the value of permanence and the boon it brings to our future. If you build something that lasts five times as long and uses half as much energy at 3 times the cost, you may not see the complete return on your investment in a single lifetime. But you will have an excellent piece of infrastructure that your children will enjoy the use of and their children will enjoy the use of and perhaps children on down the line. The alternative having to demolish and rebuild large parts of the community's infrastructure every few years or generation is a far greater tax on productivity than paying for quality built to last for generations. Generational wealth is not measured in fiat currency. Generational wealth is measured in desired buildings and infrastructure, beauty, and increased utility.

I agree that stone for building is cool. But it seems that beyond the initial cost, transportation of these large slabs of rock would be a substantial added cost for many places that are hundreds, if not thousands of miles/km from a stone quarry.

We have our ancient scriptures on how to build these structures. Checkout these recent temples Yadadrigutta temple Akshardham temple Statue of Equality temple The main 2 scriptures are AGAMAS aand VASTUSHASTRA.

Vastu shastra (vāstu śāstra - literally "science of architecture") are texts on the traditional Indian system of architecture. These texts describe principles of design, layout, measurements, ground preparation, space arrangement, and spatial geometry. The designs aim to integrate architecture with nature, the relative functions of various parts of the structure, and ancient beliefs utilising geometric patterns (yantra), symmetry, and directional alignments. Vastu Shastra are the textual part of Vastu Vidya - the broader knowledge about architecture and design theories from ancient India. Vastu Vidya is a collection of ideas and concepts, with or without the support of layout diagrams, that are not rigid. Rather, these ideas and concepts are models for the organisation of space and form within a building or collection of buildings, based on their functions in relation to each other, their usage and the overall fabric of the Vastu. Ancient Vastu Shastra principles include those for the design of Mandir (Hindu temples), and the principles for the design and layout of houses, towns, cities, gardens, roads, water works, shops and other public areas. Of the numerous Sanskrit treatises mentioned in ancient Indian literature, some have been translated in English. Many Agamas, Puranas and Hindu scriptures include chapters on architecture of temples, homes, villages, towns, fortifications, streets, shop layout, public wells, public bathing, public halls, gardens, river fronts among other things. In some cases, the manuscripts are partially lost, some are available only in Tibetan, Nepalese or South Indian languages, while in others original Sanskrit manuscripts are available in different parts of India. Some treatises, or books with chapters on Vaastu Shastra include: *Manasara *Brhat samhita (Chapters 53-58) *Mayamata *Anka sastra *Aparajita Vāstu Śastra *Maha-agamas (28 books, each with 12 to 75 chapters) *Ayadi Lakshana *Aramadi Pratishtha Paddhati (includes garden design) *Kasyapiya *Kupadi Jala Sthana Lakshana *Kshetra Nirmana Vidhi (preparation of land and foundation of buildings including temples) *Gargya samhita (pillars, doors, windows, wall design and architecture) *Griha Pithika (types of houses and their construction) *Ghattotsarga Suchanika (riverfront and steps architecture) *Jnana ratna kosha *Vastu sarani (measurement, ratio and design layouts of objects, particularly buildings) *Devalaya Lakshana (treatise on construction of temples) *Dhruvadi shodasa gehani (guidelines for arrangement of buildings with respect to each other for harmony) *Nava sastra (36 books, most lost) *Agni Purana (Chapters 42 through 55, and 106 - Nagaradi Vastu) *Matsya Purana (Chapters 252 through 270) *Maya samgraha *Prasada kirtana *Prasada Lakshana *Tachchu sastra (primarily home design for families) *Manushyalaya Lakshana (primarily human dwelings) *Manushyalaya Chandrika *Mantra dipika *Mana kathana (measurement principles) *Manava vastu lakshana *Manasollasa (chapters on house layout, mostly ancient cooking recipes) *Raja griha nirmana (architecture and construction principles for royal palaces) *Rupa mandana *Vastu tattva *Vastu nirnaya *Vastu purusha lakshana *Vastu prakasa *Vastu pradipa *Vastu manjari *Vastu mandana *Vastu lakshana *Vastu vichara *Vastu Vidya *Vastu vidhi *Vastu samgraha *Vastu sarvasva *Vimana lakshana (tower design) *Visvakarma prakasa (home, roads, water tanks and public works architecture) *Vaikhanasa *Sastra jaladhi ratna *Silpa prakasa *Silparatna *Silpakala Dipika *Silpartha Śastra Sanatkumara Vāstu Śastra Samarangana Sutradhara

Natural Stone is not everlasting, and starting the video with "for thousands of years, we used one of the msot abundant and beautiful materials [...] many of which still stand to this day" is a blatant and unapologetic display of survivorship bias. Equally, most places, or rather nearly all places built from natural stone have been destroyed, abandoned, or torn down. The amount that are still standing today in comparison to the amount built is a rounding error. Natural Stone also has many issues, and whilst it can be found "all over the world" only certain stones are even potentially viable, with many deposits being nearly entirely worthless due to the condition of the stone. Most Slates and Slatelike Stones for example, are way too hard to use for building, and most of the German Eifel Mountains is Slate. Actually, most metamorphic rocks above a hardness of 5 are too brittle to work for structural components. Whukst Sandstone and Limestone work great for simple structures, it is easily eroded, especially in wet conditions. There is a reason we have gone with brick and mortar for the last few hundred years now, and it isn't just ease of use and cost. Natural Stones are hard to transport and cutting them down to the size of bricks basically annihilates their benefits. You have to use them in big sizes, preferably precut to the exact dimensions needed. Natural Stone, unlike artificial stones like firebrick, classic dutch clinker, or the more modern Concrete Bricks. They are specially shaped to maximize their strength whilst minimizing weight, and allowing insulation and airflow through the walls. This just isn't possible with natural stone. It is pretty, yes. It does work for certain structures, yes. But especially houses and public buildings built from large sandstone blocks during the Interwar or before the first world war are prone to extreme breeziness, awful heat insulation, and structural deformation over time.

I am old school, I draw all my plans and details free hand that I submit to the city. I routinely go out to my jobs and work with the contractors, I tie rebar I use a nail gun, swing a hammer, help pour foundations. All this keeps me connected to the profession and the people who are actually building the buildings. The contractors think I am nuts but I am connected to my work. I think all students should get out in the field and work with the guys who are actually building your designs. They will quickly tell what will work and what will not. They will respect you and go to great lengths to build your design like you want it. I can actually draw and watercolor which is a lost art. All of these things keep me connected to my work.

Ever see the meme about Richard Rogers (of Lloyd's Building fame)? What he builds: image of one of his modernist glass-and-steel monstrosities. Where he lives: image of a gracious Georgian townhouse. Your revealed preference betrays your 'bold creative principles' architects. How come 'boring old fuddy-duddy' traditional buildings are good enough for you, but not for the rest of us?

We need to start to use non rusting reinforcement . Like stainless steel or some other material should be used instead of steel . Also additives in to concrete it self can help a lot. I bet sand from deserts could be processed somehow to make it rougher. There are always some solutions. Great video with many valid thoughts though . Great job !

I guess the biggest hindrance to adopting alternative options to concrete is the cost. Building cheap is so important for every industry. However, as indicated in the video, it comes with consequences. So, maybe if policy makers could make it compulsory to focus more on the longevity of structures and use better building materials then we might have long lasting buildings again.

It's misleading to say that concrete only lasts 50 years. There are concrete buildings that have stood for well over a thousand years. If concrete fails within 50 years, the failure is typically caused by rebar rusting. As the rebar rusts, it exerts larges internal forces, causing cracks in the concrete.
