Companies will never sell you a product that you don't need to replace or do maintenance, stone buildings last forever, you can't make money out of that, there would be no need for insulation either, they would lose too much money, human greed will never let us have good things

This has to be one of the dumbest videos I've may have ever seen. You do understand the amount of leaks your ideas have?? Arquitecture as an art or a science cannot be generalised. Also u do understand that those older buildings were only made for the wealthy or for the public, but that residencial homes for the poor werent properly designed. That is one thing of many that ``modern¨ arquitecture has solved

Where is the big mansion at 15:07? Seen from the air it looks very impressing.

Prussia isn't something we should forget. Prussia was impressive and worth remembering. And I say that as someone from the other side of Germany

This is the type of being good to the environment that actually makes sense, the net zero nonsense and electric only is not healthy or good. But building proper buildings has always been healthier for all.

This channel is fantastic (this is the first video I have watched of it) I have been talking about this for a while and seeing it in the format you speak of it makes me feel that at least I am not alone that we do need to change our course in architecture.

i don't want to live in a smart city Brandevoort looks nicer

My late Father,a self taught architect, not only despised modern architecture ( especially post-war brutalist architecture) but said that Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe were responsible for more social misery than Adolph Hitler.Having previously lived in British social housing inspired by their work, not only do I fully endorse my Father's opinion but if anything,say it was not harsh enough.

Seeing this changes is so encouraging. I hope all of those involved in the restoration and innovative thinking beyond paint but a marvelous way to share with the world, that ugly and infringing constructions are the blights that they are, do not need to be left with an offending and not a productive structure. This does not mean, though it might, that the structure needs to be removed and replaced. It's becoming very apparent that, not only is that a wasteful use of resources now, but even the act of making new structures is wasteful to us as a world, but to the health of our planet and ultimately to ruin ourselves. As our people have matured with time and will continue to evolve, we will go to appreciate the use of one building, modified, improved overtime to best suit the need of people, will be our future buildings and constructions. How buildings and structures evolve into their own individuality will be appreciated by our maturing population. History is progress as much as today is progress for tomorrow. Buildings thus grow to fill our needs as we do with our structures. Wonderful program~

This Okie is thrilled that you mentioned our traditional architecture. My university has "Cherokee Gothic" structures and I grew up around buildings made of bright red bricks from the bright red clay of our land.

22:20 in a biblical sense, this sounds a bit demonic

But that’s , exactly , what the evil people , in charge , wanted , when they built tower blocks - do dishearten the masses .

A beautiful city - without the ugly Le Corbusier rabbit-hutches. ….😊

Dubai is for tourists, not long time residents. Only the rich and their poor slaves live there

All I heard in this video some privileged brat talking about fancy world without understanding reality, also no practical alternative was given in this video for replacing concrete.

Bro thought that he is a city skylines player irl 💀

Is there a company in the EU that builds houses from stone?

Natural stone is very expensive and it's very hard to work with

Thank you for presenting these beautiful ideas! However I would like to disagree on the topic that publicly open courtyards are a bad thing. It‘s pretty common here in Germany and most of northern Europe. Especially in newer districts. And theres no evidence of creepy people harassing kids more often in those areas. Those courtyards are too supervised by the public eye for anyone to do criminal things. Instead it allows for social exchange with habitants of different building blocks. (Source: own experience of living in those publicly accessible blocks my whole life and studying landscape architecture and urban planning at a german university)

Some very promising ideas! The Dutch I've met over the years often use the descriptive term 'gezellig' to convey feelings of coziness and this new town moves in that direction. I would have liked to hear about the town's guidelines regarding energy efficiency mandates. I didn't notice any solar panels but maybe they've found a way to make them blend in.

That’s exactly what I want when I rebuild my country Haiti 🇭🇹 God’s willing

Cool, but how do you want to solve the housing crisis with traditional architecture ??

"They are nazis!!" The Nain politician supporting the movement is a social democrat. That's funny

Truly a masterpiece. Well-executed with the aim to preserve its heritage... down to every little detail. Wish our municipality would adopt a similar vision.

Muy buen canal, que gusta daría ver algo asi en mi ciudad Santiago Chile. Gran fan del canal y la ultima reflexión me parece excelente, que bien le haría a las ciudades que en vez de gastar en un yate lo haga en algo que le agregue valor a la ciudad.

Fantastic! More towns like these!

Uno modo come un altro di progettare. Ovvio tutto costa molto, come gli appartamenti in torri di lusso. Si cammina a piedi, ma anche a NY. Vorrei sapere se vi è risparmio energetico, solare? Mancano informazioni sulla struttura. Pezzi di città che si sovrappongono nei secoli stupiscono affascinano. Qui è tutto piatto uno scenario per attori. Krier non mi convince mai.

Dresden being firebombed has got to be one of the largest warcrimes of the allies. the city was of no tactical importance at all and yet targeted, by not a bombing campaign, but a firebombing campaign. the intend clearly was to create as many civilian casualties as humanly possible. yet none of these crimes against humanity were ever punished. talk about hypocrisy.

I hope these ideas get spread to the US. We need more beautiful walkable cities

The grid system doesn't work because it presupposes that every area will be equal in traffic, which is not the case, because there is degree centrality: hubs and bridges, hotspots in certain places and absent in other spaces. It's lunacy to build grid systems.

14:29 Unfortunately it doesn't have good insulation. Here in my region of Australia it is mandatory for walls to have R2.5 insulation. A hard stone wall alone would need to be about 5m thick to achieve this.

Isnt this what oman does? I think saudi also has a sustainability city

all the people talking about Dubai's car-centric, pedestrian, AC-to-AC design really need to try walking to any destination here at 1pm in August

God I hate the royals

Modern architecture is boring, it is spoiling beauty of cities all over the world. Our Mysore city is also losing all its beautiful buildings. People should understand the importance of local old architecture.

Playing city planning... with real town

womp womp

Might sound silly but how big is natural background radiation in all-stone buildings? How much bigger is it compared to other modern building materials/buildings?

A safe harbor for the rich.

I'm not sure I agree with the orientation stuff. Vienna does this a lot and I always get lost in that city because it kind of feels the same everywhere. I got the same experience in Osaka, but that one was even worse cause it lacks the aesthetics of Vienna. London, in contrast, I can navigate really easy because it has these quirky unique buildings sprinkled in everywhere. Prague as well. It feels like every building has it's own character over there... We should build more cities like Prague.

Good for you with nothing else better to think about. Get a life.

I hope all of south america is built new .

It is very very working. Me like!!!!!

great video. I'm a 5th year student in architecture and couldn't agree more!

It looks kitsch. It seems that it has been made recently. Non-architects don't know what kitsch is.

Cost and money are apparently the ONLY things that matter, not an investment in the future. Says America. MAN, I'm getting tired of cheap, money-grubbing America!... And an ever-dwindling outlook.

Sorry, but sitting behind a computer and saying, "WOW, I can make this look crazy! I can bring interior elements to the outside! I'm an architect. So I know people will like everything that can be done on a computer to look different! EVERYthing!" ( I certainly don't like it.)

From the land of forests (Canada), but love seeing limestone buildings in my home region. Many people with wood, vinyl, or stucco exteriors are having them removed to reveal the beautiful blocks underneath, it seems. ... seeing that and watching Guedelon get built almost makes me want to become a stone mason myself. :D

Excellent video. Traditional architecture is not just beautiful but also perfectly practical and functional. It would be interesting for future videos talking about graffiti and the uglification of the urban environment. Greeting from Bogotá, Colombia.
