Architecture CodeX

BY MICHAEL MOLINELLI: Yes, our very own creator-host reviews his own building - one of his private house projects. Not surprisingly, Michael likes the new house. You might enjoy it too and after learning about the design and construction process, you can decide if it belongs with all the great buildings covered on the Architecture CodeX channel. Michael Molinelli acknowledges that his design, while unique is not earthshaking - but builds on the inspiration of #Palladio, #FrankLLoydWright #Mies #LeCorbusier and others.

Hi Michael, this house is a masterpiece for sure. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you.

This home is a jewel box, OMG! You must howl with righteous laughter (or burn with indignation, maybe they're the same thing?) when you observe the absolute JUNK that gets thrown up in the Hamptons or all over California -- perhaps you will get the commission your brilliance deserves now that so many of those celebrity atrocities near LA have been burned from the planet forever? Please, do share more of your materworks, Mike, your creations truly are marvellous! LOVE your channel so much!

Thank you.

Hi Michael, I have enjoyed a number of your videos - I really like how you combine an interest in modernist styles with an awareness and appreciation of vernacular styles and classical proportions. I had no idea you are also such a talented architect. Villa Lane(?) looks excellent and Villa Seacor is a masterpiece. It's rare to find an architect who can work expertly in a variety of modernist and non-modernist styles (in Britain we had the very talented Oliver Hill, but I can think of no others), and yet you have achieved it. Bravo, and I would love to see more of your own projects. Thanks very much for sharing this, it deserves to be known.

@simoncattle1434 Thank you very much. I like all GOOD architecture regardless of style and I have fun working in all of them. Go to my office website (which currently is also ACXs website ) www.molinelliarchitects.com. And thanks for watching and commenting.

When we received Johnson & Burgee’s drawings for the IDS Center, it was clear they had no idea how an elevator cab was put together. Had we tried to make it their way, each cab would cost three times what it eventually did. We sent them working drawings showing the correct construction to make it look like what their drawing implied. Architects need other experts to create a masterpiece.

Architecture is definitely a collaborative endeavor and as projects get bigger the more collaboration. I like practicing small since it allows me to be the architect and not the manager of an architecture firm... and the software (Revit) is that good these days. Plus, I like doing my own engineering as much as possible. Makes taking all those calculus courses seem worthwhile after all. For firms like Johnson & Burgee, it is likely someone with little practical experience was assigned the elevators allowing them to be schooled by you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
