Just great talk - coming to this late Robyn - but heard you at HES event yesterday at Stirling and your talk there about lime renders left me wanting more ! thank you.

Professor Wilson-Jones is an exciting and witty intellectual. I've had the privilege of listening to him in another of his lectures, which was equally fascinating: his descriptive architectural assessments of the Pantheon are thought-provoking. He is a fascinating speaker; listening to him has captured my interest in Roman architecture! Bravo!

Great presentation, I hope traditional architecture makes a big comeback. I hope never to live in a modernist architecture again. It feels soulless and looks ugly.

This presentation should not be a critique about modernity, but about mediocrity. I see plenty of sameness with traditional architecture. The "traditionalists" do not own the idea of placemaking.
@Slingsby_architecture 5 ай бұрын
We may not own the idea of placemaking but we are the ones that are consistently and inherently engage with it. And it is very evident that modernist (and they off shoots) have consistently disregarded it in favour of high concepts, abstraction, and the deconstruction of culture - which is the heart of placemaking.

Whatever your argument it would benefit from images. I can't imagine anything more monotonous than modern design.

@@verticalmatt That is such an over generalized statement. First of all, it's a matter of taste. Second, there are plenty of examples of good contemporary public space: Bilbao museum in Spain, Millennium Park in Chicago, St. Louis Arch and park, Addition to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Pompidou Center in Paris, Eiffel Tower (it is modern design, rejected initially, now defines Paris), The Louvre Museum pyramid, Seagram's building and forecourt, Cranbrook Educational campus in Bloomfield Hills MI, Times Square New York, 911 site in Lower Manhattan, any public observation deck in any tall building around the world, Golden Gate bridge, The Getty Center Grounds in LA (both the one by Richard Meier and the one by Machado and Silvetti). Should I go on? Ok. Anything done by Frank Lloyd Wright, anything done by Louis Sullivan, Kahn's Salk Institute, all of the art modern buildings in Miami Beach, Kahn's Kimball Art Museum, Kahn's Exeter Library, Kahn's Parliament Building in Dhaka, Enric Miralles' Parliament building in Scotland, The Neues museum in Berlin, Libeskind's Jewish Museum in Berlin, The Wrapped Reichstag by Cristo... Now, these works might not be to your taste or those that prefer Corinthian columns, metopes and triglyphs, but they are examples of contemporary design that are overwhelmingly endeared and in the public realm. I can provide images if you like.

@@ppuzzello64 sir if you kept up with modern science you would know that it is not a matter of taste, but an objective measurable parameter. Now cristo's wrapped reichstag is an art installation, but gehry s Guggenheim looks like an art sculpture. Do you think architecture should be sculptural? What about background buildings like 99% of offices and residences?
@ppuzzello64 4 ай бұрын
@@verticalmatt What?? Modern science?? I would much prefer spending time at a space like Cristo's wrap in Berlin, or Pompidou museum than a space the traditionalists could conjure up and I am not alone sir. Does that make me mentally sick? Or in some twisted way against science? BTW yes, Cristo's wrap of the Reichstag is absolutely an architectural project in addition to being art and legitimate for the discussion here.

If you want to understand the trick of “civil” engineering you have to look at their data. All their models are based on data from three methods of action: load a beam in the middle and measure the forces until it breaks. Load a beam but fix the corners and measure the forces to see if the corners or beam break first…. Extrapolate/ Method two: take a chunk of concrete and abuse it in different ways and then measure the forces to crush it…. Extrapolate.. Method dumb: take a material put it in between two hot plates and measure the resistance… extrapolate.. Never is the building performance of the whole structure or labor considered:
@KurtisHord 6 ай бұрын
The professional practice of architecture rejected me as well, for suggesting humbly that we judge building methods based on the experience of the laborer, and the performance of the structure thru time.

Thank you for the excellent presentation Mr. Weatherill - your approach to placemaking and deep respect for local vernacular architecture should be a model for others to aspire to. It seems so simple in principle - to simply look around at the existing patterns and use them to inform the design of the project, infusing them with a knowledge of placemaking to create a result to which nothing need be added, and nothing removed. It represents in one project the slow historical building up of a local Architecture which is not only Human in it's execution, but is logically defensible in it's detailing and grounded in the Tradition of the place. This is certainly not the short-attention-span slop which forms the core of the 'creeping crud' quickly destroying the countryside - this is long-attention-span Architecture which dignifies both the Architect, and those future residents with the mind to see and understand it. Kudos.

Absolutely loved this. So much technical detail rather than unsubstantiated principals or eye-roll platitudes. Re. double hung windows, Tutton M. WINDOWS 2007 P. 16 reckons they're invented 1690s in Lond. (Don't actually own this book but read it a while ago and made scratchy notes.) Would be great if you could publish on this talk, would love to add to the reference library!

The great irony of the modern movement is its megalomaniacal impulse to deny the individual, indeed, the personal. At root it spring from the same impulse of socialism/Marxism: to suppress the individual and their choices and objectives. Everyone wants to be Plato's 'philosopher king'. It is a hateful philosophy and has produced hateful inhuman results. I've just read Rookmaaker's Modern Art and the Death of a Culture, which traces the degradation of the human in denial of a spiritual depth that is primordially personal, not impersonal, mind, not matter, and love, not haughty indifference . There are some lectures of his at Hans Rookmaaker: The Post-Christian World: Reality, the meaning crisis. (KZbin)

Thank you! What a gem of presentation. This is a good start for anyone who is interested in the origins of western architecture. The Pantheon is both one of most beautiful buildings of Imperial Rome and probably the most sustainable building in Europe! Being 2,000 years old...(1,900).
