Richard Sennett, "Interiors and Interiority"

[@donokeefe3960]

Fantastic talk. Sennett is twice as intellectual and three times as clear as most lecturers on this youtube channel.

Paradoxically, it seems he is capturing the psychic experience of living in a small town (rather than the cityscape subject of the talk).

Sennet is an appallingly dreary speaker, a far better and engaging writer. But the paucity of involvemnt from the floor is depressing. The architecture students seem to have no passion, most likely because they have no experience of the street - they are the generation of fee paying affluent middle clas that were taken to school in cars by their parents, never walking. This is the generation of architectue students who are already conditioned to consumer architecture - that the shopping mall is a real experience, rather than the sham theatrical daylight robbery it really is. Compare the discussions (on Utube) at the AA in 1960s and 70s, with Zaha, Rowe, and Vesely. Architecture students seem to think they are studying an academic subject which is a completely false notion. The subject of this talk is important, and far better elucidated in the Fall of Public Man, The phenomenology of Perception, and Architcture in the age of divided representation, Adrian Stokes, etc. The ageing hirsute hippy leadership at GSD has failed dismally, happy to take your money with little resistance. Mohsen should go, and someone with real impetus take over, Gavin Robb perhaps?

If they are like me, they need to go home, ruminate and digest what they just heard and are ready to engage in any discussion about two or three days later.

I think he’s a wonderful speaker, I’m currently on a run through his lectures on different topics :)
