Magnificant

Classicism is dystopia

Aka Turd Vegas

Keep it the way it is. Just increase the height limit in Alexandria and Arlington. Build tall in North Bethesa/Bethesa, Tyson and silver springs.

Ofcourse it was a bunch of perverted leftist who ruined architecture. They ruined music religion, community, love, sex, sovereignty, freedom and the family. They think they hate society but they hate humanity.

Modernist architectures are like Borg from Star Trek. They transform every beautiful landscape into colourless cubes.

I can only hope to, one day, be as good with words as this man is. The amount of disdain he conveys is just admirable.

Re-construct Whitemarsh Hall, and do it better.

This should be shown in high school.

Pinnacle : Martin Luther King memorial in Boston ….looks like a monstrous collection of frozen dog poopies rendered in bronze.Contempt of people in particular .

Horisontal is rest or a symbol of death, when buired its in a Coffin that is horisontal in its placement. vertical is balansed and Jesus on the cross is vertical and ofcourse when you take away the arabesk, the flow is also a symbol of death bequse its not there to represent life.

That said, no one can deny that the Vietnam Memorial is the most emotionally moving, most profound memorial in Washington DC. Modern minimalist architecture has a long history too, not in this country but in Asia, notably Zen Buddhism.

Years ago I came across a book in our local library on the history of architecture and in it the famous Bauhaus architects were referred to as members of the "Glass Circle." This was apparently a name given to them because of their transparency. They were clearly interested in in a bizarre ideology that they hoped would get them commissions. When they started out they approached dictators and fascists to convince them that their modern ideas were the way to go. They didn't approach democratic leaders as they figured democratic leaders wouldn't buy into their ugly ideas. Anyway, the library has shrunk their collection and the book vanished. So I will be ordering James Steven Curl's book very soon. Thanks so much for the video. It gives me hope.

Love listening to this talk as ot really resonates with my soul. I have visited Europe from Australia a couple of times and seeing historical architecture was a highlight of my visit. I studied Fine Arts and can remember lectures on Le Corbusier being pushed down our throats as a significant influence with modern architecture. It never sat well with me and I am so glad I am not alone in my thinking. I try to avoid big modern cities as I find them so uninviting.So glad I live in a rural country environment and wouldn't swap my peaceful country landscape with anything bog modern cities have to offer .We have built our own home based on earlier historical design.Australia has a horrible attachment to modern dehumanising home environments. Modernism on Art, furnishings music etc look cheap and tacky with little to no aesthetic appeal. Our consciousness on beaty is being challenged.Where is it all heading?

The sass this man has in his voice and use of words can only be generated by such disdain and hatred of the modernist movement. I love it, this man is a treasure.

This was very well done but I gotta say... The thing I love about cities is the layers. How you can look around and see each period of time. I like the brutalist and modernist buildings in DC. But I also love the Classical buildings. You keep saying "compromised" but many of the examples you state are just examples of moving forward. Everything is not so black and white.

A combative and perceptive speaker, I'm glad to have discovered Prof James Stevens Curl.He is a necessary dissenting voice amid the cultural complacency of architecture and the visual arts.

The National Cathedral is major landmark that seems like it gets overlooked. The Basilica of the National Shrine is another major landmark that is very overlooked and very underrated. They both stand tall and rise over the U S Capitol. They are like another Lincoln & Jefferson Memorial.

Calder Loth, I REALLY APPRECIATE you alerting us to study, understand, recognise and remember the past of classical architectural revivals & restorations.

there is hope in this grim brutalist world

The Venice Charter is in itself vandalism of the highest degree. We need to understand that such things cannot be binding on communities who cherish their past and use it as a springboard to the future.

The only people who would call the rebuilding of these classical edifices "Disneyfication" are the barbarians who turned our beautiful cities into brutish, unattractive and unloved carbuncles they call Post modernist.

what is that fife and drum song i can’t find it can anyone help?

excellent choice of the fife and drum sir.

Feeding the hungry more important than a building.

There is nothing "classical" about Washington, it's all bad European copies..

Great stuff, keep it up!

This gentleman is a genius!

This is a delight.

WAS IT THE FREEMASON TEMPLE BUILDER?

WHO DESIGN AND BUILD IT?

I DONT KNOW YOU ARE A THIEVE OR NOT BUT GUILTY IT IS THEN

DID YOU STOLE IT OR NOT?

YES IT IS DONT PRETEND IT NOT

IS IT THE ARK OF THE COVENANT DESIGN OR NOT?

HEY MAN DID YOU PAY FOR THE ARK OF THE COVENANT DESIGN PLAN ?

They are destroying beautiful historic neighborhoods in my town and building ugly multifamily stucco boxes....if you oppose it you are called names starting with elitist and intolerant.

Excellent, very informative lecture. Thank you. As a Buffalonian, I would love to see Frank Lloyd Wright's Larkin Administration Building reconstructed in situ. The recent completion of the Darwin D. Martin house, in addition to the construction of the Blue Sky mausoleum and the Fontana boathouse projects, have been very beneficial to the historic architectural legacy of Buffalo.

51:35 Wow is all I can say. The nerve of somebody to put that up.. good grief.

This guy needs his head examined

Nothing is impossible, we could build entire gothic cathedrals if we wanted to in this era. Only if we care about it and build it.

Excellent!
