In new york state Cars go on parkways Trucks go on expressways

In 2024 people are so poor they are living in their cars - so the automobile is now a machine for living. What would Corbu do?

Increíble trabajo! Gracias Valentina.

9:03 Ah yes, the immediate question of if we can take Lutyens seriously... A better question is whether we can take seriously someone with such misguided inquiry. The whole time he's trying to come off as an objective authority, but he can't get out hardly a single sentence of commentary without evident bias and disdain for this assignment he's been forced to carry out. Modernist misanthropic martian of a man.

素晴らしい

Jimmy Page has owned this for decades I believe. Probably bought it not long after this was broadcast. I never realised there was a door right on the street, hopefully it has good security as Jimmy attracts some very warped people.

Vision intéressante !

This s so wonderful. Really enjoyed this film.

Buen nivel de Open english

So beautifully explained @ Sangeeta Bagga . ❤

I understood Quarry Hill flats were demolished owing to a design fault in the concrete making them structurally unstable?? They must have looked stunning back in the day before the white horizontal lines became the dirty grey I remember as a child in 1960s Leeds.

I am almost certain that my grandad - a town planning consultant to Leeds Council in the 1930s - was probably involved at some level with the planning of Quarry Hill. The old petrol station on the roundabout is definitely 'his' - his ideal design for a 'modern' petrol station. Oh, and in a nod to this interesting channel being Canadian, my grandad worked in Vancouver, pre-WW1, with his uncle Thomas H Mawson on Stanley Park etc

The 1960s Hyde Park flats in Sheffield also used the Garchey waste disposal system which didn't always work and made the kitchen smell awful. I lived in one, as a student in 1979, for a while when many of the flats were rented to students.

Quarry Hill flats demolished 1978

The concept, (the five points etc) are genius. The fact that the building leaked from day one, was uninhabitable, the owner left, and within a very short time, the building had to be fully "restored" or perhaps finished might be a better description. It stands as a symbol of his genius and is exciting to visit for aspiring young architects (like it was for me some 30+ years ago). The details are also very interesting. Alas I live in a climate where this building would indeed remain uninhabitable.... however I will never forget my visit and the many sketches. ( I left my camera in Canada on this trip, so I had to draw what I saw.... I recommend this to students. Also go to Ranchamp, which breaks all of the five points. And try to get to Unite... Radiant City Insanity aside, Unite is an amazing building... No I am not a moonie. I think the guy was an evil person... and his letters to his ma are very telling!

Marvelous.

Nice info

It is hard for modern people to imagine that this house was built for a world that was lit (and heated) only by fire, in a part of the world that can be quite dark and cold much of the year. Lutyens is considering not just visual and spacial experiences, but also some practical problems which are very different from our own.

Beautiful to look at. Wouldn't want live there. Can you imagine how cold that living room floor would be in the winter with all those French doors and floor to ceiling glass. There are 16 large glass doors in the living room dining making it impossible to heat in the winter. A dream house where you freeze to death in the winter. No thanks.

The video was shot without a wide angle lens, so it shows details of some of the interiors but never the whole. The charming anecdotes and descriptions reveal very little about the architecture.

Incredible talk. Masterful depth into layers of a complex creator

What a pleasant documentary! No inane background music or crazy camera work. This is the way to do it.

Once again, the British reluctance to adequately maintain anything is prevalent. No money is set aside for upkeep and so its no wonder that some of these well intentioned designs are often derided. Its not the design that is disliked, but the fact that the lift didnt work, or the grass was concreted over and the benches removed etc.

Suburb, simply suburb....

Why there’s an israel flag ?

また、都立大学で公開講座などあるときに受けにいきたいなと。憧れの建築家の先生だから。

Fav photog. Takashi Homma, you inspire beyond words. Thank you.

😍😍😍👍👍👍

I have always wanted to live here since I was a kid

Nice quote at the end.

Semidetached hose are exellent for getting married and starting a family. You do not have to live in each others pocket. Even knock a door between them so you both choose self time and quality time with each other. That is a formula for a long marrage.

Hello, we live in Berlin and would love to watch the film. Is there somewhere the possibility to watch the film here or online. Thank you very much.

Fantastic Archeological steps methods we should follow from our ancestors design methods 😮... and thankyou for your valuable information...

Fantastic innovation design methods keep doing Madam 😊...

April, 3rd.

Rest in peace !

Highpoint was 40 years old when this film was made - to think someone was still using original flooring and the bathroom fittings at that time is quite something. The building is now nearly 90 years old.

Never mind the flat being there also the Market just before the fire and Killingbeck police station still being completed.

I enjoyed these glimps into the past

Several words come to mind as I watch this -- cold, hard, grim, austere, unwelcoming, unattractive, frightening.

hello, just a recommendation, it can be better if we see the photographs.

The hostess sounds like a Peanuts character.😅

Why the house winn parasitárias like rats and any. Tip❤😂❤❤❤❤😂
