Tutto questo per un caffè???

Very informative video! I don’t get why people are so quick to judge without watching the full video, i loved his opinions on Le Corbusier’s thinking process, while still acknowledging his revolutionary ideas. But I do agree that the sketches had to be a bit bigger.

Looks like a workshop rather than a family house 😖

You have a point dude but your voice sounds horrible 😖

What a strange experience. It seems like an empty museum, but the building is the subject of the museum.

After reading the book by the Savoye grandson it is very evident that the villa had extreme problems regarding leaking water, dampness throughout, heating problems along with having no privacy in sound between rooms. A beautiful design, but not ready to have anyone living there. The Savoye family complained extensively over the years.

Can you show us how the building works? It looks like its going to fall any time haha

Love Mies Van Der Rohe’s work.

Love the blur that can't let me see a shit

My word you put a lot of effort into these vids, I love them! The facade reminds me of Peter Zumthor's museum. I love the surreal quality of floating the building but wonder about the covered plaza, it seems more claustrophobic and heavy than contemplative and slow, I'm not sure what it felt like in person.

There is a lot I like about the project but I am interested in relatability as I feel it’s one way to approach character and avoid genericness. I feel this is the weak point for me because the point of relatability of this project is (as you said) a bathtub. I think it irrelevant and slightly derogatory.

I think our over-sensitive dealing with historical buildings is telling about how architecture is currently approached. Scarpa demolished parts of historical Castle Vecchio because he thought it told a better historical story when modified while the Brutalists demolished massive pieces of historical architecture, so great was their confidence in their vision. Today we’re too scared to do anything 😂😂 but I love this approach actually. We honour the past in that way and acknowledge that time will judge our own work, either by demolition or preservation.

Like you said, it can be opposite. I think that we should start calling it ‘inverse’ because if you look at the Port House in Artwerp, it is ‘opposite’ in every way to the point where it doesn’t relate at all. ‘Inverse’ is a very particular type of opposite. That’s just something in my head and not a critique of the video but rather a critique of some other architecture.

Thank you! What a great video!

Thank you for the work and research. Excellent overview and context. May you one day be the proud owner of a 'Barcelona chair.' BTW, Mies is one of my all time favourites as well. Best.

EwItsBad. Like forreal not great. Could have been so many more good

Drawings are too small, displayed for very few seconds at a time and 80% of the video is your face talking.

❤

As a stand alone building this house did not weather very well, similar to Michael Graves, and the other white architects. It must not rain on their buildings.

Richard Myer sure did follow Corbu. But Myer also found clients for his ideas. The Douglas House with the glass facing west was a disaster. Myers comment was that the site was ever right for the house. At least Wright told his clients to move the table from under a leaking skylight. I remember making home made skylights, they leaked most of the time.

Who made the music in the first 2 minutes?

Her best work drawn by hand before computers which Zaha couldn't operate, detailing is wonderful

I was able to visit the building about 4 years ago with my then architecture student son. Proof that details are of ultimate importance. Just look at how the marble pieces are seamed and the reflctions in the fountains. I do need to remind you that he and the Bauhouse were responsible for the Brutalist school; not all ofwhich was beautiful and became a great influence on Stalinist era construction in Eastern an Central Europe

Very sovietic

The juxtapositional layers of cinematography, description, titling at the opening of each sequence and the gentle and descriptive philosophy embedded in such organic verbiage , as conveyed through gentle dialogue precisely elicits the magic and raw spiritual beauty that Le Corbusier shared with us through his magical and pure design. This is not an easy accomplishment on your behalf, FourthWall. Very much admired and appreciated.

very interesting

Do the columns measure 87cm x 87cm at the base or at the top? They are tapered.

Where's the patreon? I want the 3d files! Currently a thesis student for architecture and am looking to do an analysis in VR.

It's amazing how quick people are to excuse the flaws simply because it was done by Corbusier. If it was done by any other person it would have been demolished and forgotten. Yes there are good lessons, but most of it is utopian and unrealistic, not to mention the Unité is ugly to most people besides architects. Having 1k people on one building with green surrounding it and repeating it 10x or more sounds nice in theory, but would only work in a planet with infinite resources. Not to mention it doesn't create communities or cities.

Very Nice, but sunday school?

Thanks for the video. But it’s hard for me to see him as anything but a genocidal psychopath. Just another Godless degenerate

I am Le Corbusier with God as I am Natalie Helferty God's Body as Queen of Canada and Royal Chieftain of Indians of America the Holy Grail. The Designs were Modern in 1975 when I was 7 years old. We were doing Architecture Designs in Canada of many eras to combat the Mountbatten and Moussolini War with their Evil Spirits doing Industrial Wasteland Designs.

I have had the privilege of visiting the chapel once (mid-80s) and was simply floored. I'm not the least bit religious but you cannot help but have a somber, reflective and dare I say spiritual mindset as you walk around this extraordinarily beautiful building. There are zero "church-ish" cliches; everything is entirely reworked from ground zero. The natural lighting is so, so, so, so subtly and carefully done. It is much, much smaller than you might expect but it utterly commands the landscape. It absolutely heaves and broods like it has been there for a billion years. I have never experienced another place like it and I remember the visit like it was yesterday.

It is an abomination only appreciated by the architects. It was abandoned since it was shit to live in. Please make architecture beautiful again. Stop building cold lifeless boxes of glass.

A missed opportunity.

Did he own a concrete company?

Great video. Thanks!

great work did you do the 3D animations also?

I have no connection to architecture, but have found myself fascinated by these Le Corbusier housing buildings. I am very interested in the details and differences between the buildings in the different cities. I will add that I find these buildings ominous, and keep watching videos about them to see if I can warm up to them.

I’d wanted to visit this building for years and I finally got to visit in August 2023. We were lucky enough to get shown around the site by an architectural expert who spoke fantastic English. I appreciated it before I’d visited, but to see it in person…wow!! It is a beautiful building, fabulous architecture but I was surprised to find that it wasn’t a success. Mme Savoie hated the building and there were issues. It leaked, it was freezing in winter and boiling hot in summer. Still, I think that it looks awesome and would happily have a home like that. I have other Le Corbusier buildings on my visiting list when I next go to Paris.

Hi, i've been watching your videos for some time now and i just want to give you some credit for the quality of the content you've been producing. As an architecture student, your videos helped me alot with understanding certain principles and having the closest experience i can have to visiting a building while staying at home. I really hope you keep uploading stuff, your videos are amazing.

Gropius 16th and 17 houses in weisenhof

Maravilhoso

one ramp, one staircase…….I guess it misses a third solution: elevator.

Love this video, super well done and the shots show the building super well, more videos please!!

Anyone who says criticism of LC is impossible, is either willfully blind or an idiot. Stop focusing on his stuff like it’s the bible. Go look up the history of architecture during his youth, LC constantly borrowed and laid claim to tech and ways that were not his. A few good ideas and having had influence do not make someone praiseworthy. Evil square-moustache man had influence, was he a good thing? No. His claims to efficiency only make sense in a world of constant expansion. We’ll see how LC and his followers fair in a world of climate change and environmental crisis. It doesn’t look too good.

nice presentation

Great tour, I like the ambiance.
