The principles should be: 1. Serve the people. 2. Be beautiful. 3. Use the local climate to its advantage. 4. Make the most of local material. 5. Be in harmony with everything around it and not stand out like a sore thumb.

Good architecture serves it's function well. It uplifts those who dwell or work in the structure. It also uplifts those around it. Post modern architecture has almost totally ignored the need to benefit the human psyche. Modern schools break your love of humanity and isolate you to the point that you are no longer able to relate to others.

I once saw a video about the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin filmed over 24 hours capturing the way light affects the interior of the structure.

I dont quite understand how these buildings are considered beautiful

Go visit and use some of them if possible, then come back and comment what your experience was. You’ll learn to appreciate some of the work that has gone into these pieces of Architecture and possibly, it will challenge your idea of what is beautiful.

found it funny he took into consideration in the efficiency of his building the fact that it was made to be efficiently demolished. To describe your work as “efficient to demolish” is a very funny concept to me. but if any man would make this claim to my face i would indeed expect it to be a german one.

I'm now a bit disappointed that the popular architect from my hometown, Christoph Ingenhoven, and his work aren't a part of this

I'm now just disappointed that you only want to tell us that Mr. Ingenhoven comes from your town. But no one believes you.

1. It should be beautiful. 2. If it’s not beautiful, then don’t bother.

Should be functional, not beautiful, it CAN be beautiful but it NEEDS to be functional

Why are all the examples so ugly compared to the historical buildings they are next to?

"Good" and "contemporary" don't go together in architecture. 99% of contemporary architecture is stupid, ugly, alienating, demoralizing, impractical, uneconomical, etc... Houses aren't generally as bad because someone has to want to buy them, so that at least enforces SOME minimum standard in terms of qualitity and taste. But that still doesn't prevent most of them from being at least somewhat dissapointing in some way.

@traductionscultureen-arver2307 8 ай бұрын

exactly. Modern architecture is a slaughtery of any landscape they are built on Wether its in Australia, Canada, Europe, USA, the arab world, India, Africa, modernism slaughters the landscape...How to replace the genius of Ancient archicture with...these awful grey buildings...There's profound philosophical reasons to that.

This kind of vacuous statements of what constitutes "good" architecture has been going on for years in our field -- I've been hearing all this since the time I joined the architecture course in 1979. None of these principles are easily measurable -- why? because there is no established "datum" on which measurements have to be done. So how do they become principles? Basically, architects who can hustle their way up with glib talk and "cool" looking visuals often get to "establish" whatever vague principle they think they can be recognized for.

With coming summers with heat waves, they should seriously think about making room for trees and the fact that the trees will grow And they should also think about families with strollers, disabled people with or without wheelchairs, and people who cannot walk or stand for a long time while queuing, in public places. Especially in countries where the population is getting older 🙏 About the façades with mirrors, think about having sunglasses and umbrellas with you, people. Especially in summer 😉😱😱😱
