Feels great to see ur work all the time and the best thing about u is that, u r so down-to-earth and nvr take any credit for the work delivered. Bro i also started a channel in that case. If possible plz give a shoutout for my channel

Yes but I feel like the biggest question to me is why these specific shapes and in these abstract orientations...

Lol thank you for sharing

I liked the going to QT

I guess leaking rooves aren't a design flaw then 😂

You have a Mrs. Wright too?

while I was watching this, I was thinking. "the architect must be the most arrogant, pretentious being on earth" this story fits perfectly.

He was light-years ahead!

He was building “modern houses” even earlier in the late 19th century when victorian homes were being built!!!!

He copied other cultures that are older than Europes

@@Lovelymo Interesting , can you cite any examples of what Wright 'copied'?

@@Lovelymo didn’t exactly copy… though he did take some decorative inspiration and general proportions/building techniques from Japanese architecture/art as well as native American.

Also, knowing the tilt of the sun in winter and summer *at that latitude.* Will you have summer sun in the front yard and winter sun in the back? Are you far enough from the equator that the sun doesn't ever cross the center of the sky, even at solstice? Southern hemisphere, take your whole northern hemisphere plan and invert it. Every day I suffer from having an east-facing bedroom, not being a morning person. I think about this a lot... I've not bought my own house, but in fever dreams where I imagine that could ever happen, I think checking a compass for each room will be a priority.

Such intelligent and thoughtful design.

Yeah I wish more houses were like it

ah that's cool, I was in a similar house recently and didn't know why the windows were like that

sounds like passive solar design

Agreed!

He way way ahead of his time. This looks like the dream house of most millennials.

I already said this to someone else but since your comment is almost identitical I'll repeat it. Modern is a period. His work will always be modern; time cannot change this fact. It will never again be contemporary though.

No. It looks horrible and uncomfortable to live in, lol.

You could tell the design contains a level of creativity that is probably not replicable under the current real estate economy. It looks modern because it was probably created under a circumstance which permits wide latitude of experimentation.

It's like light coming through Gothic arches. Fantastic.

Thanks for sharing, that's really interesting!

It's so good to see our people spreading our knowledge everywhere. Shows that even in the midst of this vast westernization some people are still connected to their roots. Again, thank you for sharing this. Have a great day ahead!

Yes Naalukettu in Kerala.. Completely climate responsive design..

In Brazil, we use cobogós to fulfill the same function

That's very interesting natural lighting used be kind of important to those pre electric and gas. In the sims when I build I still put an importance on natural light, I'm not as against attics, and a certain degree on garages. since you can always build thru walk away.

LOL ok armchair architect. Thanks for your expert analysis. Sorry FLW (the most groundbreaking American architect in history) doesn't do it for you. We alllll care.

I agree. I find that the ideas are great, but the end result can be a bit oppressive. Having said that, many of Wright's clients spent their entire lives in the houses they commissioned, so perhaps they grew on them. Admittedly, it was also a less mobile society back then.

@@michaelepp6212 How on earth would you find "the end result can be a bit oppressive" in FLW houses? Oppressive? WHAT What is "oppressive" about it? The use of natural light or the indoor/outdoor or the motifs from nature and geometry or.....? I'm curious about how you find FLW's architecture "oppressive"

@@helpfulcommenter I've been to a few of his houses and I've found them dark inside, probably due to the extensive use of wood and brick, which weighs on me, as do the low ceilings and proportions. I also find his 'total work of art' approach - designing all the furniture, etc., stifling. I'd prefer to choose my own armchair. Wright himself admitted that a lot of his chairs were unsittable for any length of time. I love his houses from the outside - they are plastically incomparable - and certain charming interior elements, such as hearths, stained glass, and murals. For me though, still, "They're nice places to visit, but...."

@@michaelepp6212 I'm sure your house is much better than anything Wright ever designed.

Yes, and his ego is oppressive still.

Can you share the link or tell where? I'd love to check out..

Please let us know the name!

Hey, a yellow heart! I wonder why you chose this colour, could you explain?

Leaving a comment to know the documentary name

forming an orderly queue here

Nice, I know exactly where this building is!

If you haven't already, check out the passive house movement if you're interested in modern work that carefully considers the sun and seasons.

We still consider sun orientation and passive cooling here in the Philippines (or other tropical countries). We don't rely too much on HVAC because it is not cost efficient.

Same in Odisha; loved visiting my Grandparents house and seeing them as a child.

We call them ventilators... usually they have floral or geometric design...

@Zaydan Naufal I'm not sure if you're joking or not but Odisha (previously spent Orissa) is a state in South Eastern India. Odessa is the region you're talking about in Ukraine.

Fallingwater, the Kaufman summer house outside Pittsburgh. 😉 Probably got changed in translation, but if you ever want to look it up again…

@@tychay 😂now I know it's Fallingwater, and you are correct the waterfall house is how it was translated to Arabic, reading my original comment, I should've clarified that, and I can edit it now, but it's too much work 😁

What's your work? Im working towards being a 3d environmental artist so doing stuff like this would be fun

@@PotatoMaGobinus Right now I’m working for a construction company making 3D & VR logistics, and at home I do the more creative fun stuff 😉 Always try and keep on top of the newest tech trends like UE5, TwinMotion, and plugins to make your stuff shine!

@@SleepyPossums Is there a simple way to view a Sketchup model in VR?

@@IgorAntarov There are free plugins that convert scenes into 360 photos you can see in VR, but most ways to convert Sketchup into VR cost money. We use Modelo or UE’s built in stuff.

Yeah, seeing Phil Edwards so astounded by the fact that 3d models and rendering are so accurate is a bit funny. Geographic location and elevation can be inputted even in the most basic 3D software (like Google Sketchup) and that automatically gives you the correct sun position by date and time. All you got to do is make sure that the orientation of the model is correct. Also making sure the model is as close to reality as possible in terms of width and materials can help...

And it leaked like a sieve. Overrated, only a champion to pompous brown nosing fools.. Can you interview people that don’t have to dramatise every sentence.. You don’t Sound like an authority on architecture, they are houses and buildings, designed as more art pieces, then practical dwellings.

Ironically, Falling Water is one of his ‘failed’ project. I remember reading its inhabitants (the original commissioner FLW had built this house for; and the ones afterward) ended up selling this house because of many technical issues.

@@sukamtotedja3425 Everything you said is not true.

To say that Falling Water is a failure because it's not functional is like saying that music that doesn't make you dance is a failure. Of course it'd be cumbersome and tedious to live in. Among the myriads of technical glitches, the rooms are not fitted to a reasonable scale. It's influence and impact nonetheless is a testimony to the fact that it's probably one of the most innovative creations of the twentieth century

@@sukamtotedja3425 it stayed in the family until it was turned over to the western pa conservancy who still holds it today.

There is some debate if the "rabbit-behind-a-stump" windows are actually "overweight lightning-bolt" windows

@@paulybeefs8588 This sounds like a joke but I don't actually know lol

Okay, so why design windows in those odd shapes? I feel like it'd make them harder to produce/less affordable, so why design them that way?

@@benjamintillema3572 The design them this way so that when sunlight hits the window, it shines upon the opposite or adjacent walls in the shape of a beautiful sunny brontosaurus, a beautiful sunny log-on-a-pig, or a beautiful sunny rabbit-behind-a-stump.

I was hoping he would explain the shapes, but I guess they are their own justification. The sun didn't know it's own beauty until it was projected onto a wall as log-on-a-pig.

Calatrava a close second?

“Liminal space” has become such a meme-y phrase these days that I fear we’re losing it’s original meaning. I suppose that’s just the nature of language, but still. I would argue that Frank Lloyd Wright’s intentionality in design and consistent detailing in his work directly opposes the “liminality” of other industrialized early 20th century and postwar architecture. His buildings are specifically supposed to be one off experiences in every room, with special care taken to make even transitional spaces communicate with the rest of the project- like with the specialized light coming in through the clearstories in the hallway displayed in this video, or the architectural tricks he would play with ceiling height to make a house feel like it was contracting and expanding as you traveled trough it, etc. What is left outside of the “liminal” and “chilling” bubble if we start using those terms to describe careful work like Wright’s?

@@BrandNeutral Nobody's debating the weighty merit of his work, or the attention paid to shaping these unique spaces. It's a deeply personal observation to say that a space gives you disturbing Lost Highway vibes, not a robust critique of his output. There's also no need to deride such observations of 'depressing decor' as it were as meme-y and somehow therefore lame. Fact is, he shares the milieu with actually unsettling Modernist structures so a bit of it bleeds through, right?

Sometimes it is a good idea to take a break from the light, if you have too much of it all day, throughout the year. It also helps to lower the temperature.

or just do it yourself. You dont have to make it a trend in order to do it.

Exactly what I'm doing in Michigan

you should search up Phil Edwards on KZfaq, he has his own seperate channel where he uploads a lot of other neat videos

@Zaydan Alfariz not everyone wants to live in an apartment

Same here

Fun Fact, The leaking roofs may have been the fault of the GC or Roofing Contractor.

all good architecture leaks my friend

If a customer complained about the leaks, Wright would say, "Move your chair!"

You can thank the Central Bank for that.

I have 3 for sale less than that

I'm curious- was the other building constructed some time later? Essentially, did it work until Building #2 was put up and gunked it up for a section of the building you live in?

@@Sephiroth144 nope, both buildings are part of the same complex

Simply a timeliness way of building, the only way of building! There is very little video content that discusses his ideals and how they fit how we live

"A Pattern Language", still fairly relevant imo almost fifty years later.

I’ll never forget the character Ted Baxter on the MTM Show referring to Frank Lloyd Wright as “one of the Wright brothers.”

Yeah. I'm with you. The level of ignorance of most people, I would say, about most important cultural figures, is astounding in general, especially in the U.S.

I’ve never heard of him because I was never taught who he was. Neither by my parents or schools.

Some people are not from the US. And it might surprise you but other architects are better known in those countries for very very good reasons.

@@sisuguillam5109 Um.... I challenge you to find me an architect in any country on earth who isn't intimately familiar with FLW. Architecture (generally) is not a regional art form. Architecture is a global practice. Architects know the work of important architects regardless of nationality. Architecture transcends regional cultural knowledge. It has always been this way since ancient times. It's not like novels, films, etc - Architecture doesn't have a language that shuts people out. It is the most human and ancient of art forms. The 2022 Pritzker prize winning Francis Kere (from Burkina Faso) for example, has been widely known across the design world for years for his innovative work. Sorry but claiming that someone wouldn't know FLW because they are not from the US is just silly talk. That's like saying that because someone isn't from Italy they won't know the Mona Lisa or David.

@@sisuguillam5109 It doesn't surprise me at all. Aldo VanEyck for example? His wife was also an architect. Erich Mendelssohn.

One of Modernism’s main objectives was to get away from ornament. It’s not “missing” it’s done on purpose because there was a hangovers from the 19th century when ornament was overused

@@thelessimportantajmichel287 i understand that, and I agree. ornament in a lot of ways was associated with excess and was considered classist as well. architecture in the 1800’s was dominated by Beauxs Arts designs full of rigid classical rules. it became unpopular as soon as it became cheap to mass produce ornament formerly associated with only the wealthiest. Louis Sullivan was quoted saying “i believe it may be necessary that we take a break from ornament for a few decades, to better understand the foundations of architecture.” architectural “pinnacle” thusly transitioned from the appearance and proportions of the building outright, to the performance and intent of the architect. however, multiple studies have been done on the effect of “plainness” on the human psyche. it’s been found that increases in cortisol are associated with large blank facades on city streets. i find it similar to that feeling of liminality you get in large midcentury spaces. ornament was an ancient solution to this feeling of ambiguity. our brains thrive off of visual enrichment and complexity. you hear a lot of talk from urban planners about needing to bring green spaces back to modern places - often for mental well being - but there are plenty of streets from years prior where it’s not even remotely needed. so i propose one of the solutions architecture can bring in the coming decades is a return to ornament, but a different kind. not based in western European tradition; but the creativity of the architect, the local culture, environment - and emphasize also the natural environment both biotic and abiotic to ease the disconnect between our subconscious and extreme minimalism. the same Louis Sullivan, in fact, created an entire system for generating new ornamentational languages. architects are known for being experimental, but only recently have i seen this be experimented with. Mark Gage Foster is one I see broadly working with ornamentation from a bohemian perspective. it is my conjecture that we need more artists and architects like that - to bring new architectural forms and languages to their full potential.

@@madisonbrigman8186 Ornament comes and goes. It has come and gone many times in contemporary architecture. You use the term "modern architecture" - which, to a properly trained architect or scholar, means nothing and shows your ignorance. No offense.

@@helpfulcommenter i understand that, such as David Adjaye’s recent work in Washington. i am referring to systematized architectural ornamentation, that often has hierarchy and more detail than some of the more common contemporary elements used as ornamentation, such as perforated facades. I’m also not referring to any type of sculpture, which is seperate. sorry i should have clarified that earlier in my statement.

@@helpfulcommenter i also agree with your comment about architecture, but to the broader public it is much easier to say “modern architecture” than many of the much more categories that define architecture from the early midcentury to today.
