I love this man’s presentation style and voice. He’s great!!

[@gideonnartey_]

I agree. Properly articulate

[@dv895-p2i]

Couldn’t agree more. Even the speed and rhythm.

[@joedee9811]

I admire his presentation skills and I envy his ability to rock a large bright scarf

[@john27609]

Presidential material!

[@brianolsen1588]

I’ve had the honor of performing in this hall, and this video does a wonderful justice to it

[@WeeJay-g2r]

What instrument do you play

[@Andrea9876-l5d]

Valery was my favorite professor at USC!!! I’m so glad he brings his knowledge and passion to the public. Well done!!

[@joshuab3715]

My father is a retired iron worker out of LA. He is very proud to have worked on this building.

[@musiccenterlosangeles]

Such a beautiful day! ✨✨ Thanks for coming to see us!

[@Hoakaloa]

More than a decade ago when I was visiting my aunt who lived in the neighborhood I walked around and in this building. And it brought me to tears. The first contemporary building to do so.

[@galaxy_mosaic3587]

that was really great content (super thorough) and I enjoyed the presentation by the architect. it felt informative yet also personable. I also had an opportunity to perform in the concern hall. although I cannot speak to the pitch perfect aspects, the acoustics are very fine. I could hear someone coughing in the audience (middle of the mezzanine) sounded like they were just a few feet away. I also love that rose fountain in the garden and was delighted to hear the story of its origin. thank you

[@sidbrun_]

I love this guy's presentation

[@NadiaGladys]

Woohooo! Way to go Uncle Val!!! ❤❤❤

[@creolelady182]

incredible PRESENTATION BY Mr. Augustin

[@Dayvit78]

I'm very glad this architect took us inside. On many of the other episodes, they just show the outside. (The presentations are always fabulous, but you're missing half the design if you just look outside!)

[@jeffreychongsathien]

I always tell people "There are no bad seats at the Walt Disney Concert Hall" and "It's like the musicians are wired directly into your brain". Seeing Ellie Goulding and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra here recently was a sonic feast.

[@tjjones33]

this building is such a treat

[@ELMS]

Excellent presentation. Thank you!

[@boidesignstudio28511]

It's one of my favorite buildings in architecture. It's a very elegant design and amazing!

[@sarahofer4368]

Thanks, Valery, that was a fabulous tour of a magnificent building.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Simply stunning architecture and the garden is the icing on the cake! That rose ribbon fountain is absolutely gorgeous!!! Just WOW!!

[@stankojts]

I was the project manager for the exterior contractor on this project. Great video and very well informed.

[@TheRockinGinger]

I was going to say it's very similar to Guggenheim in Bilbao. Now I know 😀

[@milouhb]

It takes my breath away!😮 his presentation and the genious of the designer are amazing!❤

[@paulinedudley9656]

I love the walking tours! Also the Architectural Detail videos are so interesting and educational.

[@sebastiansnoer186]

Reminds me alot about the internal construction of the Danish National Symphony Orchestras concert hall.

[@riccardosabatini353]

In violin making, spruce (picea abies, picea armonica) is used for the upper soundboard and maple for the ribs and back. I'm not aware of the use of Douglas fir, perhaps they used it here for the wooden pipes of the organ.

[@ar5984]

Wow what a cool human ! He’s so engaging and has such an incredible amount of knowledge and perspective that he covers soo seamlessly, loved this ! 🙌🏽💖

[@claudiamann7111]

Thank you so much for sharing this fabulous video. An amazing amount of information and all the beautiful spaces. Hope I make it there to see this building.

[@riceravens2]

This guy narrates so well. He doesn't feel the need to use the same two notes for his lecture.

[@alightingartist]

Valery could read a nutrition label and it would be just as fascinating as listening to him explain architecture. He's awesome!

[@jarno1208]

I visited this in my California visit during 2012

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

I didn't catch it but was there an entrance fee?

[@sfowler1017]

I loved this video. Valery did a phenomenal job presenting!

[@kdm_entertainment]

Haha you can clearly see they told him to tell the french fries hunger joke. I like this guy though

[@jacksins3353]

For real, it was as clever ad.

[@thedeeprot]

love it

[@bradybake]

He also has a building in Cleveland, and it looks amazing

[@mikem3789]

Valery knows (his stuff), seems to. 👏👏👏

[@blacklavoux]

That building is amazing

[@manymany5076]

phenomenal, Thank You!!!

[@duplessisart7478]

Absolutely beautiful

[@Fergus316]

Great presentation. A beautiful building. Not a fan of that carpet, but what do I know?

[@jrak]

One of the greatest buildings on earth .

[@franciscocontreras5276]

Fantastic presentation

[@alexavarela5622]

Incredible space and video! 👏🏻👏🏻 so interesting

[@johnbrown7172]

One of the greatest videos on your channel!!! Giga impressive and informative!!! Btw cameraman did much better then in previous videos lol

[@DocHoliday444]

incredibly beautiful!

[@ShootItALBY]

Incredible 👏👏👏👏

[@michaelforest7997]

We love Valery

[@jenn976]

I want to go hear a LA Phil. concert there with Dudamel conducting!

[@Angela-pi6zc]

Interesting and beautiful presentation!

[@capricemadrid5353]

Gehry is the Nagel of architecture

[@perryroobay]

most excellent. thank you.

[@ElaineCannon-w4z]

Fantastic presentation. Incredible .

[@cianaleemartin1031]

That looks so cool

[@ikb7375]

Guggenheim Bilbao isn't steel cladding its Titanium. The colors and light reflections are different and way better in my opinion.

[@Antinoustheartist]

It would be really cool if your channel did a breakdown on avatar the last Airbender architecture there’s a lot to unpack there

[@luci4087]

3:55 Off topic but I love his outfit. I feel like it fits and matches the building. lol

[@irvansaugustin6480]

That was awesome

[@gatoooom_]

this is the same architect of the Guggenheim Bilbao and he copy and pasted again but to be the Walt Disney Concert Hall

[@MissouriMatt54]

Thank you for the video.

[@donnafuller3029]

WOW❤❤❤

[@Doitwithstyle719]

Amazing 🤩

[@greggybada]

was this the building that generated heat so much??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@sherrymartini_]

Some videoclips are getting distorted, i wonder why it’s happening.

[@nehemiahstewart]

Magnifico

[@kaileymo]

Suspiciously similar exterior to the Weisman Museum in Minneapolis

[@jcgpisces579]

Why would it be "suspiciously", since both building are designed by the same architect FRANK GEHRY.

[@kaileymo]

@@jcgpisces579 I meant that as a bit tongue in cheek. Sorry for the confusion~

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

The Simpsons did a funny bit on Gehry’s designs.

[@ja_pocitacove_hry_nehraji69]

veri nice

[@mrsg7113]

The guy reminds me of Captain holt but less tense and intimidating

[@valentinlishkov9540]

Sheet Metal Segmental Elbows, Cones and other.

[@ezzymartin]

Luuuv it

[@shivakiranreddy6539]

take a shot for every time you hear clad

[@Youften]

carpet and seating cushion designs are the only things imo that i would get rid of. thats just me though, obviously for historical purposes it should still be preserved somehow, but they are the only element that feel very dated and cheap, while the rest is timeless and elegantly rich. in a way that makes me like it a bit, the audacity of doubling down on that design and covering the seating with it haha but nah, if it were me, it keep some of it for historical reasons and maybe frame a piece of it and get some more of that stone tile or another carpet.. idk interesting video nevertheless

[@joblesstess]

Reupload?

[@kerryogrady3637]

A truly phenomenal building,unfortunately however,NOT a particularly phenomenal documentary,which considering the subject matter,is,somewhat ironically,phenomenal...

[@miguelc1186]

Since when are instruments in the violin family made with Douglass Fir? I mean it’s probably possible but it’s not native to southern Europe where the viol family of instruments emerged

[@riccardosabatini353]

Normally spruce (picea abies, picea armonica) is used for the upper soundboard and maple for the sides and back, I never heard about Douglas fir in violin making. But, who knows? Everything is possible...

[@christophercasey7388]

The building was to be a gift to the people of Los Angeles? Maybe, but only the rich ones.

[@nathanmailhot6923]

I saw a performance there for $12. That's cheaper than a movie.

[@belkidecom564]

👏

[@TalatKhan-ld2dr]

I want to ask u same thing about architecture

[@halamander]

All Angelinos

[@carrieepurcell]

I wish I could use "sensuous curves" in a sentence and for it to feel natural.

[@memeo1234567890]

“Incredibly unique” looks identical to a building we know .

[@allythearts5439]

😮

[@bavete2679]

Danke bre hab 15 punkte bekommen.

[@gridley]

The multiple rounded interior surfaces in this bldg's auditorium don't fit the simple shoebox design associated with the historically, acoustically great halls of the world. Such a format (requiring modern engineering software & fabrication) technically wasn't possible generations ago. Although the Great Pyramids of Egypt, etc, were admittedly built centuries ago.

[@jasonfallon4968]

George Costanza….

[@davidjgill4902]

Acoustics can't be perfect. Acoustics can be excellent or ideal, but not perfect. Different halls with excellent or ideal acoustics can sound very different, but none of them can be called perfect.

[@davidjgill4902]

@@donbusu It's basic if you know anything about acoustics.

[@willcookmakeup]

I do not like that carpet lol

[@GTOBlackjack]

you were much better at presenting this

[@RATsnak3]

A room that is "welcoming to all Angelinos" and "closed to everyone except doners who have given $185,000 or more" is classic California. Truly representative of liberalism in the United States.

[@MTGApollo]

This exists?!😂

[@wakeupwith_morgan]

That carpet is hideous

[@TalatKhan-ld2dr]

My heart goes out to your family and teachers. They were hoping you'd achieve more than this stupid "first" stuff. 😢

[@TalatKhan-ld2dr]

Are u able in WhatsApp

[@MrProy33]

Ironic, considering how off-pitch Disney has become when it comes to their fans.

[@uiscepreston]

And it's hideous, to boot.

[@cesarc6044]

Its the ugliest building in DTLA, too bad I have to see it everytime I go there
