Do you have a favourite design strategy? How about a favourite Frank Lloyd Wright building? Let me know ^^

[@jonathanalvinrays..7070]

I love Zaha Hadid..But it's too complex. Even Frank O Hehry is still better and simpler than Zaha Hadid.

[@mammotmammot9976]

Frank Lloyd Wright created the early state of contemporary buildings. I love how he connected the building to the nature. Especially the 'Falling Water', Its so beautiful in any season. You wont get enough of it 💖 Classic ✨

[@tomviethoang]

I'm finding the link to the rigidity of forms and straight lines limiting to the expanse of thinking. We don't have cookie cutter "architecture" only because of financial reasons or lack of experience in building practices, but also limitations in thinking and knowledge. It's created a separation between us and nature. So, as for design strategies, I think the computational designs are almost on the right path, the main point missing is the link toward co-existing with nature instead of separating ourselves from it, if that makes sense. It's just too complex and issue to discuss on a thread, but the basis is early humanity lived in caves, huts, and other earthly structures that connected them to the environment versus how we isolate ourselves now in bland boxes disconnected from everything. As for FLW, even though I haven't visited it, Falling Water captures the very essence of that idea as it's incorporated into the nature around it. From the ones I have visited, Taliesin West, Ennis House, Gordon House and Robie, the details from the Ennis House were just remarkable. I would have to say that place was otherworldly.

[@tomviethoang]

@@jonathanalvinrays..7070 I have to agree and disagree with you friend. Zaha's is complex but consistent. She designs holistically and puts thought into the projects in and out. Gehry's is simpler, but that's because he just places a sculptured shell over his traditional box designs. Whether he's better is always going to be one person's opinion over another.

In 1983, our third year Architectural classes from Kansas State University did a week long tour of Chicago and visited and toured Oak Park. What an amazing time, one I will never forget. As a senior (as in age) Architect now with 37 years experience, FLW is becoming (once again) more real to me in my day to day work. Thank you for YOUR insightfulness in Listening to the design strategies He incorporated, but adding your own unique twist. Your level of sincere involvement is motivation this old guy. The most unique building of his there in Oak Park, (for me) was the Unity temple. The view from the choir loft, gallery was inspiring, and when the building emptied of our students, a great place for recollecting my thoughts on design, continuity, and of course inside/outside. Thank You

[@Ugdiani]

I love your videos for always relaxing while watching. I feel your calmness, maturity, gradualness and slowness, but also i feel your spark in the eyes. I like to see that there are people who manage to do a lot of things and at the same time be in the pleasure of work and relaxation. at least that's how i feel. you always look fresh and full of intention to do something. Thanks for the video!

[@amehayami934]

In Hawaii we blend inside and outside together. Basically we take the inside space and use sliding pocket doors to connect with the outside. But that's mostly really expensive places.

[@mynameisChizzle]

Thank you. Mr. Wright once said, An architect must be a prophet (in a sense) that he can see 10 years into the future. Just a line can make much difference.

[@DamiLeeArch]

He definitely did see far into the future. It's one of the qualities that made him so legendary!

[@crusherjones6809]

The Dami Lee archi-blow up continues. I am here for it. I don't know what messed me up more than realizing I wasn't considering the movement from inside to outside as clearly as I could. "It's a door. It's just a door!" is a thought I'll never have again. Also: 111!!!!

[@DamiLeeArch]

IT'S NEVER JUST A DOOR!!! 😂😂😂 "a door handle is a handshake with the building" 🤓

[@rkash2]

I love your explanations on architecture Dami Lee. Keep up the great work 🎉

[@douglaswittnebel]

You know, i am loving your videos, and really appreciate how you are delving into design subjects and concepts like this on. Bravo!

[@diartsyone7052]

I never visited any FLW but knowing how much experiences that you gained and share to us is very inspirational. Its kinda like breaking in from outside the box not think outside from the box like other way around *idek lol*. This will surely help me to have more fresh perspectives of design strategies I could use in school 😁 👍

[@bngr_bngr]

My favorite FLW house is the Ennis House in Los Angeles. It was right across my elementary school. I went their almost every day after school. I mostly explored the gardens as the interior was being renovated.

[@DamiLeeArch]

Wow lucky you! Yeah that's a special one for sure. What were the owners like?

[@NathanYu]

I know nothing about architecture but I love your videos. Please continue doing this.

[@DamiLeeArch]

Thank you!!! 😁

[@Astrocanyounot]

I work in the medical field and a clinic I used to work at had those interlocking conditions in the treatment area that created a cradling effect (phrases I just learned from your video) and I gotta say it made the whole experience much more pleasant for the patients. It was basically 2 glass walls with a longer concrete wall that stretched out to the rest of the building and other offices, it made the entire space gloom-proof with all the natural lights and plants outside.

[@stopato5772]

Hi Dani, Similar to you, traveled to USA to see FLW projects in LA and Chicago. Was not disappointed with the offerings in Chicago. Also visited the Imperial Hotel Lobby at the Meiji architecture museum, Nagoya. Stayed often at an Antonin Raymond house in the Nikko Shrine precinct, owned by friends, maintaining and upgrading their large garden. What I remember most are lights on during the daytime, especially near the entrance area. I also visited the MVR pavilion in Barcelona and his 2 buildings in Chicago. The treatments of surfaces, relief and layering are so different between the two styles. I like the pavilion prefab that Muji is offering - it does not have too much glass. It is a combination of warm and cool.

[@gabrielemarogna9444]

Oh wow, the old videos are so much more vulnerable and rich! Well, I'm glad I noticed it, I'll know that to watch for a while :D

[@__rex__]

I don't quite get how I managed to stumble onto architecture on KZbin, but I visited the Frank Lloyd Wright Martin House in Buffalo on a school trip 7 years ago, just about. I don't remember too much about it, but after looking up the building and seeing the 3D space tour, I remember being in the reception room and seeing the Sunburst fireplace. It really is a centerpiece without being right in the middle! I also got my favorite tie from there, a Tree of Life tie design, but the new Tree of Life ties from the museum store just don't look that great anymore.

[@eunicejoyponio8127]

Hi its 12:40 am here and iam doing my plates. Love your strategy just so you know😍😍

[@DamiLeeArch]

Get some sleep!!! But thanks for tuning in at so late 😊

[@mharoon]

yeah, carry this book all the time. It is sooo rich, you get to evaluate many things, helped me through my dissertation

[@DamiLeeArch]

Ya it's so great. 😁

[@skjoldgames]

Nice perspectives, I'm in arch-vis, so this stuff gives me a lot of food for thought. Also a huge fan of FLW's work.

[@DamiLeeArch]

Yes totally applicable in arch vis as well. The guy was a genius!

[@laurenm703]

Love these design videos! ❤️ I've only been to fallingwater but it was amazing. Please share more of your trip!!! Sounds so cool.

[@DamiLeeArch]

classic ;) yeah absolutely! Trying to contain the trip into a short video is the hard part ^^

[@tyrus18]

Didn’t expect a new video this early! Love your videos! Hope to see more like this type of videos keep it up Dami!

Thank you for the video. Felt like taking fresh air, enjoying it so much

[@DamiLeeArch]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@countryclub1113]

I used to live by Frank Lloyd Wright's "Millard House" in Pasadena, CA. I would walk by it almost daily on my walk. It's tucked away and somewhat hidden from main streets. For the 12 years I lived in the neighborhood, it changed ownership twice. No one ever lived in the house the entire time. It always remained empty and was often put up for sale. It was also always under some sort of repair, especially the roof which had problems with leaking. I love his textile block houses and the design of the blocks themselves. I can't believe the structures were designed in the 20's considering how futuristic and modern they look, even by today's standards. Did you stop by the Millard House on your trip?

[@RuGCo1]

[@jjjo_uns]

This channel is gonna be big!

[@DamiLeeArch]

Hope so 🙏

[@rthomlei7849]

I haven't visited any FLW building -maybe in the future. My design strategy is to just draw and create whatever it is in my mind, if it's not viable and it seems impossible to bring it to life then change it. Fallingwater, I can't say it's my favorite but it's the only building I am familiar with. Lol

[@DamiLeeArch]

I worked for an architect who used to design like that but I couldn't do it. I need rules. 😂

[@rthomlei7849]

There are no specific rules, but it is however, still systematic, and methodical. And it usually always starts with an idea or a concept. Hehehe

[@superheaton]

i really liked this video ...i'm studying your points into software :)

On 5:10 you mentioned Versailles Palace but the image shown it's not Versailles, it's a baroque building called Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte with a fascinating landscape design. I'm currently drawing that building for my History class actually so that's how I know hehe

[@willfaes901]

I rode my bike by the The Boynton House in Rochester pretty often! I'm in love with the roof of the porch and it looks great from the street, I'm an engineer not an architect excuse me! lol

[@johnnyb8629]

I have been in many Frank Loid write houses as I did residential service work all of Chicagoland, and that included Oak Park. They charge a lot of tour his showcase structures in Wisconsin however, and that's a shame, architectural masterpieces shouldn't be exclusive to those with large amounts of disposable income. Personally I have my own architectural projects , I'm currently designing my Quonset hut house Im going to build in New Mexico that's going to be off grid permaculture project. Tell me this, what comes first, the architectural problem to be solved or the architectural artistic creation in search of a problem to be solved? My Quonset hut is cheap, and utilitarian and will incorporate some passive solar strategies, like being buried slightly and have a greenhouse running along one whole side. How do you do all that with such a brutal structure and add good interior design to ease that brutalist structure to a human dwelling? Maybe for a topic, you could talk about what you know, or think of , Biomimetic architecture. you may know there is a science called evolutionary Psychology , and I theorize that environments that we evolved in , can be recreated in a way to make us more in tune with our surroundings we create for ourselves just like our surroundings affected our evolution and our psychology.

[@AkifDarwisy-eb2ye]

what does the convex and concave spaces mean? (I do not understand the concave vs convex part)

[@ryan_edmond]

i own a watch based on a frank lloyd wright building but thats about it

that sounds really interesting! share the link plz!

@@DamiLeeArch Its called the Mido Guggenheim as part of their Inspired by Architecture line. Sorry I can't send links I guess cuz it gets flagged for spam I think. Mido did a short line of watches inspired by different buildings, but I don't think the line had many releases. The Guggenheim one was the only good one imo

[@Law19157]

I'm not architect or ever plan on being an architect but I love art. Soon I'll have my real estate license and later this year I hope to begin on my 1st residential development here in Northern California. I'll never build a house that isn't aesthetically pleasing to the eye. There's one design style that I find irritating and that's one which features a flat roof. I don't understand why some people like that look but most of the architects in my area design residential buildings like that, I don't know what else they're capable of because their portfolios only feature flat roof designs. It would be nice if there was some variety in their work so I can better choose who I want to work with. I'll most likely pay a visit to my local universities to see what designs the students are coming up with.

[@DamiLeeArch]

A good architect should be able to switch between different styles of design fairly effortlessly. I imagine most architects do flat roofs because that's what their clients ask for. 😆 I agree though, I prefer a contemporary interpretation of the more traditional gable roof.

[@moneyluser5711]

Do architects think of these 'rules' as rules of nature / human perception, or as their heuristic design language? Clearly some of them might be based on the former, but some I suspect are based on the opinion of some guy from the past and may not correspond with reality, especially for people who have not studied architecture.
