- A skyscraper that channels the breeze ... a building that creates community around a hearth ... Jeanne Gang uses architecture to build relationships. In this engaging tour of her work, Gang invites us into buildings large and small, from a surprising local community center to a landmark Chicago skyscraper. "Through architecture, we can do much more than create buildings," she says. "We can help steady this planet we all share."

The title of this video should be: "The architecture of building relationships"
"The architecture to shape relationships"
Secret revealed. How architecture can build relationships (Clickbait version)
Architect building a relationship GONE WRONG GONE SEXUAL. Papa bless everyone
architect that builds relationships : GONE WRONG! 18+
awkward and no privacy
These kind of talks are more educational than any school Ive ever been to
Sadly, not only our police stations need renovation, but also schools and the educational systems behind them...
actually... we should rethink every single building some day. why not just build one giant city in a symbiotik relationship with nature (trees, grass etc everwhere with herbivores and insects doing their thing). that would not just solve overpopulation but would also be a lot more practical if we really want to get forward as a species.
+Xamurai that should be exciting! Time to build the future!
Chribit an entire city based off of one design is the most ballsy and progressive proposal ever. I’ll help
Wow, designing balconies so that you can lean over and talk to someone on another balcony is very cool. You have the comfort of being on separate balconies, while you get to know each other. Then, if you hit it off, you can invite them over to your balcony to have a longer conversation. And the wind-calming design is brilliant, because you're not going to use your balcony, much less have a conversation, if it's windy. In the more boxy design at 11:33 one person's balcony obstructs the view from another apartment, and people can not only see someone on another balcony, but they can also look into another apartment, unless the curtains are drawn. So that design, on first glance, looks less appealing. The building for the Center for Social Justice looks spacious & beautiful from the outside and inside. Spaciousness, beauty, and a connection between the interior and outdoors are known to promote feeling spacious and more open & relaxed. Architecture is important. We tend to forget what it can offer, because so much of what we see and experience are boxes built with little or no thought to their social & psychological impact. Thanks TED for the reminder and inspiration!
Loved the idea with the Police Department, really hope things like this catch on. I know a LOT of parents would feel better knowing that their was someone keeping a protective eye over their kids. Gives the kids a place to play without worrying about being jumped by thugs or hustled for drugs.
This is probably one of my favorite TED talks.
I like the idea presented in this video. There is just one more thing I would have added to the buildings: more nature. There was a german artist called "Hundertwasser" who worked on concepts to plant forests on the roofs of houses and so on.. if these concepts would have been considered in the process of designing these buildings it couldn't have been any better!
Luca Sander agreed. On another note, isn't "Hundredwater" a funny name.
He was Austrian ;)
Luca Sander exactly what i think of architecture / cities every day: we are humans. we can BUILD NATURE. why do we always have to seperate each other or us from our planet. we could build cities completely fused with nature... having something like a symbiotik relationship with it... as it should be.
Luca Sander You should check the Bosco Verticale towers in Milan! It's a successful application of what you mention. C:
true, it's a step in the right direction. The only thing that it's lacking is a way to intigrate into nature. you know. some sort of slope so those plants can really belong to nature with it's insects and herbivores etc :)
This is the TED that I love
what is your name the story behind it i mean
THE LESBIANEST NO LEGGED SOCCER MOM IN THE EAST It's so sad that he sold out to big seltzer
I was a big fan back in the time
Hi Kyle.
yeah. TED has gotten way too political and full of SJW'S lately.
THE LESBIANEST NO LEGGED SOCCER MOM IN THE EAST giggity
The wood is not being burnt..ok. But why choose to cut trees for walls in the first place? And how is this green?
Because the wood comes from plantation trees and the carbon that it stores is then locked up in a wall for the life of the building. It is also relatively low in "embodied energy" since there is relatively little concrete used (concrete takes a lot of energy to make) and the wood undergoes minimal processing (which takes energy). In addition, you'll notice the mortar(concrete) is applied to the outside and inside of the wall, creating an insulating "dead air" space, while the wood itself has low thermal conductivity. It's a great solution.
Craig Minns Nice! I think I missed the plantation part..
and after 10-20years they will need to build again.
also modern house or building use big wood planes to build walls with requires big tree, in this video they showed us how to build with small trees.
Lol, it's not. She said it to get 'environmental friendly' brownie points.
dang i thought this video was gonna be about living buildings or ones that act like things from nature like termite mounds
maxybaer123 I want this Tedtalk
Zephyr
Me too! That's a great idea.
This title is not what the video is about.
]aa
That Chicago building, wow.
Tall buildings could use more than balconies to promote cohesion. Inside each floor usually we just have narrow lobbies connecting each apartment to the elevators. Small squares, playgrounds and even artificially lit community gardens could be used in each floor, or every 2 or 3 floors.
I'm learning so much from this video and other architecture related videos. I hope this will help Architecture students to learn more about the true essence and what Architecture really is.
I have been motivated and inspired by this kind of speech, as an arquitecture student. TED's speeches are owe
some. thank you guys
This is so interesting, she should definitely give more talks about architecture!
For the second time, i think this one will help me again with my design. Her concept is universal,flexible..well for me.
I only just now realized she is also the architect of the Vista Tower being built in Chicago. I have been in awe over the plans for the building. I'm a huge fan of architecture and first heard about this lady on an architecture tour in Chicago for a special birthday. Such an inspiring person to me!
The architecture looks boring and weird.
Making the police station into a community centre is genius, and so thoughtful.
So this is TED the arcitect?
And what about those who are anti-social? Those that want to get in and get out of a public place with minimal interaction? Those that want utmost home privacy and a balcony to enjoy without disturbance? People like that exist that are perfectly happy humans - it'd be wrong to say they "need" social interaction. I like this idea and could see it implemented in a few cities, but wouldn't expect its reach to be far.
but these buildings dont force you to socially interact, they just make it a lot easier so that those who want to dont feel isolated. If someone doesn't want to talk and is sitting on their balcony and a neighbour says hi, it really isn't the end of the world, whereas if everyone, social and anti-social alike feels isolated because these plain glass giants are dominating every surrounding, it is a disaster, loneliness can lead to depression, and those big glass blocks are one of the factors causing this loss of identity, culture and making people feel lonely and isolated.
finally a really good talk again!
Very good video. One correction:
Polis means city state, and the original meaning was "fortified hill." It never meant "a place with a sense of community."
Well, a city state is "a place with a sense of community" in architect-speak.
i get where she is coming from completely and agree with like everything said apart from the fact the apartment she made called aqua or whatever it was called with all the balconies making it easy to socialise, its a great idea, but people DO want to be alone at times, we should aim for buildings that encourage social interaction and help build relationships but sometimes people do want their privacy. to combat that id make it so that there are certain sections in the balcony where no one else can see you from any angle and other places on the balcony where you can see everyone and they can see you, that way not only would you get your privacy, but people would know its ok to talk to someone if they're on the part of their balcony that lets them socialise easier, making conversations less awkward.
so you're saying that because trees took in carbon dioxide, released oxygen and stored some minute amount of co2 when they were alive, that means that when you cut those oxygen producing trees down for your buildings you are some how helping reduce co2 in the atmosphere. That doesn't make any sense. While the building designs look pretty damn cool, your claim of it being at all any more Eco friendly than modern building Materials seems like bullshit to me. Its seems to be little more than a cool building with little function outside of social contexts.
Conor Healy "minute"? wood is basically solid CO2.
"Because the wood comes from plantation trees and the carbon that it stores is then locked up in a wall for the life of the building. It is also relatively low in "embodied energy" since there is relatively little concrete used (concrete takes a lot of energy to make) and the wood undergoes minimal processing (which takes energy). In addition, you'll notice the mortar(concrete) is applied to the outside and inside of the wall, creating an insulating "dead air" space, while the wood itself has low thermal conductivity. It's a great solution."
This is what another commenter said earlier, I was pretty confused by how it could be eco friendly as well until someone in the comments let me know (:
Conor Healy save living trees DAMN IT !!!
Trees are made of carbon that comes from carbon dioxide. When a tree grows, it "locks" that carbon out of the atmosphere and wood remains, a solid. The more carbon [atoms] we keep in wood, the less amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Conor Healy
It needs to coexist with nature more. Living biospheres as the lady mentioned of the German artist designs concepts
Great examples for how urban architecture does shape society.
That building where the neighbors can see onto your balcony might be a bit too much, because people want privacy, when they chill on the balcony in their bikini, when it's warm and sunny.
Happy birthday!!Jeanne!!
I almost forgot how fascinating architecture was
6:00 she says, when you go outside on your balcony you are CONNECTED TO THE OUTDOORS.
wow, that must be very special balconies. not a single balcony in history let you be outside.
and you can even see everything your neighbors do on their balconies because the balconies are designed not to provide any privacy.
please give this architect a medal.
3:00 its a great intersection. you can bump into people and start a conversation. and its really an amazing feeling when you talk to people whose heads are at the height of your knees when they sit in that pit.
im sure its an interesting feeling when you sit in the pit. you are connected to the ground around you. but the marketing crap this architect babbles is nonsense.
if you want privacy, why would you go out into the bacony where the whole city can see you?
I love the message in this TED talk
She's an amazing ecologist and architect. Very cool.
cutting down trees is like removing cars from the road? WTF
as an lgbtqlmopqrstywst i am offended
it simply means removing something from its natural habitat, trees belong to forests and cars to the road
what she said is what i dreamt architecture is so amazing
why is this making me cry?
Amazing, got a totally new perspective on architecture
Yea the words social justice warriors turn my nose, but the second part of the video surprised me with some tears in my eyes. Lets not allow some contamined words distract us from the moltitude of one's possibilities. The idea of police being part of the people again in that block really lifted me, so beautiful.
Amazing talk !!! Her idea and thought are such an impressive involution :D ! Her ideal city convince me totally :D
Love the idea of the central fireplace in the Arcus center. Too bad, the fire isn’t even going in the demo videos, wonder if it’s ever
What a wonderful woman an angel soul.
5:00 balconies made by extending the floor slab? Nice thermal bridge!
So many negative comments. People are missing the entire point of the video.
"negative comments" otherwise called criticism in the world of design. We architects know this better than most, because that's how we fashion great things. I think you're missing the point of a comment section; designers and creators need feedback, that's why we put our ideas in the open. And when you mislead tons of folks with a fake title, they'll letcha know ;)
Great talk !!!!
Why is everyone upset about the social justice part of the video? That just happened to be the group that commissioned the building and the speaker was talking about buildings that create meeting places. It's not like the woman was advocating anything the social justice people stood for.
Wouldn't wood embedded in concrete like that be susceptible to expansion from moisture, breaking down the wall over a couple of years? Is that a viable building method?
Yes, wood expands with moisture. But maybe they were particularly generous with their wood sealant. Or maybe it is a temporary structure that will have to be replaced in 20 years when it crumbles too badly.
Good question
Amazing and crucially important talk
Fantastic!!!
Astonishing Wow! As an architect, we guys have to connect peoples rather than separating ......
AAAAHHHHHHG THE TALL BUILDING JUST GAVE ME A PANIC ATTACK JUST THINKING ABOUT LEANING OUT OF A BALCONY ....
Its awesome but i will never step outside onto the balcony unless i was on the lower floors
Beautiful piece. As a biomimicry scientist, I absolutely love this!
Aww thanks for the comedic vids, don't get to many of em from TED
Social Justice Center and an apartment building that has balconies so my neighbors can spy on me even easier than the ol' fire escapes....made my day lolol
Paranoid much?
Trusting much?
Much, Much?
many a muches for much a many
I want to live in a city designed by her.
I really like this talk and the buildings
I did poo poo some of what she said, but generally speaking I do appreciate and believe in this kind of thing. I hope she continues the good work.
her eyes are soooo pretty
The illusion of a magical solution!
Awesome 👌
Ive experienced this in my neighborhood. the police station here is surrounded by a community center and a park. lots of people like how police and citizens can come together. the police around here dont seem to just show up when there is trouble. they show up when there is social events, local parties and even festivals. yes they are there to supervise but also to be part of the community. after all they are humans too. i like this concept but it needs work. police also need to be protected. 2016 shows proof of that. the last thing we need is our local law enforcement to look vulnerable and weak.
"Architecture" - 30 seconds in - "Let me tell you about social justice"
Thanks TED
10 years ago, I thought TED was the greatest thing. But then either it turned into this, or I realized that I'm cynical. Maybe I'm not helping by writing comments dissenting enough that they just delete them from their forum (TED website), but I guess I'm about pointing out bullshit so that people don't have to be fooled. We're all fooled too easily. TED seems to be about collecting the $$$ that rich people pay to attend, not that I've looked into it at all. And having said that, justice is a nice goal, as long as it is actually just. Like trying to earn "green" brownie points saying that building with wood is like taking cars off the road. Wow. Did you actually use bullshit to mortar those logs into place? Not that I know anything about building.
let's be fair here, she didnt focus on social justice so much as architecture and how it can affect relationships. it just so happened one of her examples was a job done for a social justice group
Chris Seltzer I think you're reading too much into it. Social justice is good unless it's done by teens online to feel good about themselves. Do so you want them to talk about killing people?
@@debradias8288 plain ole justice is just fine, thanks :)
I look forward to this
Very interesting!
Very inspiring!
There's actually a Police Station on the outside of the biggest shopping mall in my city.
I like that speech.
excellent, well done thank you
This thumbnail picture doesn't show blending building with nature. It's very modern one in the city.
This is god's work. Beautiful. keep it up. I totally see the benefit of these spaces. This brilliant mind made me tear up.
These how smart our architects nowadays i think they just tired of doing the same design over and over again or replicating others idea replace a couple of materials and colors so that they can tell to everyone that it was their job. But here its made by pure authentic creative design where you can see nature was included in every buildings and meeting houses we hope to see eventually a house or building that looks like a giant tree but inside of that tree you can see as do everything you want at the same time the three is growing too..
am i the only one who thinks those balconies look terrifying there so oddly shaped
maxybaer123 you aren't alone.
Wauw this really great! I hope that these beautiful buildings come in The Netherlands! :)
Interesting video. The relationship between police and their communities is a real problem. Designing buildings with a specific emphasis on community-police interactions could foster real relationships, perhaps decreasing crime and increasing trust. And nobody enjoys living in an apartment complex where you know nobody and feel completely isolated (well, some people might, but what can you do). Social isolation has real health effects regardless, so that emphasis on physically constructed social engagement is kinda cool.
The title is highly misleading
The timber wall seems like a pretty cool idea, but has the embodied energy and carbon pollution created whilst making and transporting the cement etc been considered?
love her laugh.
great talk!
Hey I wanna comment on the previous video!
All honestly I thought the idea of having basketball courts outside of the Police station is great but she took it one step to far when she tried to make a mall inside a police station :D
That police centre was banging
reminds me of seeing the Apple campus
So interesting!
wow great speech!
Good design is careful, Bad design is careless..
Infrastructure is the key to civilization. It is seen wherever humanity reaches a critically concentrated mass. Obviously it should be architected to the health and well-being of the diverse communities that make up our civilization.
I believe it should be taken a step further.
Combine infrastructure with other necessities of civilization. Start producing agriculture in underground facilities which provide solid foundations, metaphorically for the cities, and literally for the high-rise buildings above.
Combine data distribution with mass transit- that is, use those green road tiles you've heard about as means of transporting data across vast distances, without the need of an entirely separate information line.
These are the cities of the future.
And if that seems maybe a bit irrelevant, you'll pardon me for getting excited.
"social justice leadership" "break down traditional barriers" "meaningful conversations about social justice"
Blech! . I almost puked a bit of my breakfast from this morning.
ironically SJWs are the most selfish arseholes I've ever seen in my life! Their emotions and opinions are bove facts and nothing you say or try to explain will say otherwise. It's bullshit and it's a toxic ideology that is infesting every medium, institution and government in the world. It's basically the equivalent of cancer, and it's going to kill our society if it isn't stopped.
they should have added trigger warnings.
it's late at night and I have better things to do than to try explain reason to people who think facts are racist and sexist. I could be here for hours explaining but unless people actually care about other's opinions(even if they are the complete opposite of one's beliefs) then I am wasting my breath.
One more thing...I'd rather sound 15 than look like I'm a 5 year old child. This is what "social justice" does to people, and it's pathetic.

Suika Nine you're reply to me?
Who else is looking for comments about the rape video
I think alot of people are getting really hung up on the social-justice part of this video (and it made me cringe too, don't worry). but when you watch through the whole thing the idea presented is that building design can be used to develop communities, even showing where this philosophy has been effective, which is interesting in my opinion. As a sidenote I see alot of people commenting about their privacy on balconies, what are you doing on a balcony that requires so much privacy? what on a balcony would you not do in public? though, in fairness, I may be misinterpreting the concern here.
i came to see new biuldings and leave sad.
the social justice (in the distasteful sense) was just what whoever contracted the architects for. But it did have the idea of community just like the other two places which were shown and talked abour in detail
This is kind of a cool idea, just always use wood that is resistant to termites and it's all good.
its came up into my youtube recommendation today, then how you build relationship on architecture while going on new normal pandemic rule?
Ayyyylmao, they use the term SJW HAHAHA
Btw, this is such a way to introduce new people to the SJW, I'm sure this ain't propaganda
Really interesting
OK, she's proven that architects can be relationship builders... if they try really, really hard. I don't think we can generalize to all architects though. Modern cities are relationship killers. The City of Chicago built a dozen intimidating, alienating police stations before they built exactly one experimental relationship-building station at North Lawndale. That is the way modern cities are built. Multiply the mistakes, celebrate the few successes that manage to break out of the mold of mediocrity and call it done. What do we end up with? A few increasingly small islands of relationship-builders in a vast sea of relationship-killers. Now if she had told us that the City of Chicago had given her firm a contract to build a dozen more police stations following the same process as North Lawndale, and maybe even replacing some of the newly-built alienating ones, that would be impressive. That would demonstrate that the City of Chicago was committed to building more than just an occasional island of excellence in a vast sea of mediocrity, and indeed, they were committed to consistently replacing bad architecture with good architecture and rectifying the most egregious mistakes in the landscape.
This sounds like landscape architecture... and I might change my major for this
Did you?
This is vary butiful idia!
Nikita Snegirev grammar 10/10
4:5 so the wood after being cut off can still function like a tree? Absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen?
Is there translation in russian language?
There should be a
I'm loving all the people in the comments getting triggered about the use of "social justice".
So cutting those trees down = taking vahicular pollution out of the air?
love it
I don't get it. So killing trees is same as taking cars of the road?
