Peter is a great architectural theorist! In my book he's what one may call "a quiet genius" - one 9f the few architects out there who's not afraid to say "I didn't quite understand this" and "I tried to understand that", and at the same time he's rising one relevant question after the other and suggestiong certain answers or solutions of his own.

Sigh... "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Translation: A militia is required prevent neighboring nations from consuming you. It's a universal truth that government will always seek more power. Since you can't illuminate the militia to prevent the government for seeking and securing more control over The People, then The People shall have a right to deter said expansions of power under threat of violence. The point isn't that some regulation or control over firearms isn't necessary, the point is that the government doesn't, and shouldn't, have the authority to give itself said authority, or it will do so again whenever it doesn't get it's way. A most significant issue is that most Americans can't imagine not being under someone else's authority. As children, we're under the authority of our parents, then school (part of the government), and upon graduation continue to think of ourselves as being under the authority of the government. Essentially; as Subjects. We thing of the government as being a discontiguous monarch. An institution with the powers of a King broken up and distributed amongst bureaus and departments. And in effect, that the Rights as listen in the Bill of Rights as privileges the government grants out of altruism, until someone ruins it for the rest of us. But if that were the case, then we wouldn't be having this discussion. The same thing would have happened here that happened in Australia and English. The difference is, they actually are Subjects. Our government isn't a King, it's a deputy. Why to we have a jury system? Is it just again out of altruism? So we believe the system to be fair? Ironically, most believe it to be unfair, and that reinforces the idea that the government is the ultimate authority and not what it really is: a representative of the People's authority. The reason we have a jury system is because the government doesn't have the authority to convict a citizen. Only The People have that authority. From time to time the government is presented with an issue that unlike most minor issues, are outside of its purview, and thus it must ask us for direction. We call that voting. And our jury system is a form of voting. It pretty much comes down to this: government will always seek more power. Governing is hard. The more power and control it has, the easier its job. It's easier to manage inmates than it is citizens, after all. Instead of thinking of ourselves as subjects that only get to complain, but not prevent from enacting the decisions it sees fit, we need to wake up and realize that We give the orders, not it. The product of bureaucracy is tyranny. The only question is how much is necessary to ensure domestic tranquility.

Miguel, you sound like a Catholic Jesuit priest in a mision to dethrone Capitalism for a socialistic form of a lifestyle. Protestant Christian America in its purer form advocates for capitalism. The church is in the form of a "Robinghood" concept.

As a 10-year professional who has seen a lot of presentations, this is probably one of the top 2-3 best. Genuinely insightful observations, and 100% agree with needing a rigorously objective design process especially for institutional clients (e.g., universities).

I literally cannot believe this video has been watched so few times and with no comments. I was fortunate to have known Karen when she was at Cooper Union. Then she always struck me as being especially persistent, but she survived being a very young freshman from Macungie, PA with a lot of insecurity, to creating that beautiful thesis project and continuing to grow and grow and grow until this video. Yes I agree completely with her advice. Always think by drawing. Until you do, what you know and don't know are figments of your imagination. The drawing will show you, always; you may not recognize it at first, but you cannot rise out of the mud until you understand where your foot is. And persist. I did not; I decayed, she has flourished. Thank you for showing this video. Unfortunately--I can tell by the people coming and leaving--the real architects even at Cooper are in the minority. I was privileged to attend only elite schools my entire life. And so I can say, big deal--half or more (much) of my classmates everywhere were dimwits and often pompous on top of it. This video should be shown not only to a Cooper Union audience. Draw, draw and draw and never give up. Karen has learned so much about architecture, but about educating, about the practice of architecture, about working in the public sector--I only ever got to be a lap dog architect or perhaps decorator for the almost-wealthy people who might hire me. She has truly done honor to Cooper Union. Brava
In a modern world where people are better educated they will see that this electoral college system is unfair and takes power away from them the people , there for in the long term it will become unsustainable

There is no way that big cities would 100% determine the winner of the election. It was possible for Bush to win the popular vote in 2000 and Trump to win the popular vote in 2016 without a single vote in a big city switching hands.

In theory a candidate can become President even though he lost popular vote by 20 million votes. Sapient sat. Therefor electoral college is a broken system waiting to be fixed, modified or completely abolished.

Simple. Do both. The president has to be voted in by both popular vote and electoral college. If they dont have one or the other, recounts are needed until one does.

The EC is necessary to quarantine states stuffing the ballot box. Felon voting, lack of voter identification, ballot harvesting, mass mail in balloting, lowering voter age. All of these will be done by states as soon as we get rid of the EC. It would turn the presidential election into a banana republic joke.

@34:24 "Jazz was born in the streets." this one line from a jazz musician just eliminates the acoustic concern with the glass backdrop. I guess one could hire an army of PR and craft another argument; but doubt it will win over this line. Bravo, uhhhh man; dialogue, argument, sometimes that's how to hammer down a design decision.

Is the long driveway with a big dog argument even applicable in a modern world anymore? I don’t have door to door sales anymore but I get a lot of campaigns coming at me via social media, commercials, and text messages. Couple that with people leaving dense areas because they can work remotely and you may not be able to rely on the notion that people who live in rural areas think the same way.

He is a professor of what? In his first few sentences, he talks about a free "Person" does he even know what the word means in that definition? Why does he not talk about "free men/women"? That is what people want to know about, and not a free person, as a person (n.) directly from the Latin persona "human being, person, personage, a part in a drama, assumed character," originally "a mask, a false face," such as those of wood or clay, covering the whole head, worn by actors in later Roman theatre. Then if he knows the Bible, he should have a look at Acts 10:34, 34: Then Peter opened his mouth and said, of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons. Then should know his "maxim of Law" in Latin, "Expressio unius est exclusio alterius," translated into English as "The expression of one thing is the exclusion of the other." That is what is called the one, two and three; Christians will of told that is God's laws, the commandments, in the land of the living, so why does he not join us; whoever accepts the "Messiah" will be saved, and no one goes to the Father without knowing him, and he will receive those sins. Those founding men knew him and even warned us, the people of keeping, hold of the constitution and not lose it. They gave you democracy, but will you be able to defend it? Stopped listening to it after that, saying with a forked tongue.
