Great explanation! I wonder what the reason is behind laying out the floor tiles diagonally. Also, I am amazed by how the walls aren't attached to columns. The construction techniques make me curious. :D I'm a fresh graduate so I still know close to nothing. College felt like a nursery introduction to the vast world of architecture. Hopefully my enthusiasm doesn't come across as annoying or something hehe
@Michael Angelo Reyes Definitely not annoying at all. I enjoy teaching so it is really enjoyable for me. Yes, school is a lot to take in. During my first year, I emailed my old design professor from my previous Bachelor and I said it felt like a tremendous ocean wave of information and knowledge was roaring over top of me -- all the while, I held a small cup in my hands and tried to capture as much of the wave as I could. And then, after hitting the shore, the wave dissipated and crawled back into the sea, and all I had left of it was a small cup of water in my hands -- ie. the small amounts of knowledge that I was able to absorb and retain in the very limited amount of time. What will happen, though, is you will slowly orient yourself to the ideas and areas that are important to you, as you begin to understand what kind of architect you are. And then, you will be able to filter out the rest and focus upon the things that you actually care about. RE: the diagonal tiles. Yes, this is something I have wondered about, as well. To be honest, I don't have an answer for you. I have never come to a reasonable conclusion about the tiles. But, this is one of the very fun areas to think about in architecture: we know the architect often did things with an intention... but, which parts of the building were the key elements of importance for the architect to realize those ideas properly, and at what *scale* did that intention reach to? Staircase? Column base? Door handle? Window mullion? Grouting? We don't know. And we usually can't know, which is what makes it so fun to think about. Out of curiosity, did you find this video to be less engaging than the first one, due to me doing an audio voiceover and not visually appearing in the corner in every scene? Or, did it even make a difference? I'm trying to understand what method to use for these videos. This second one took way less time to produce than the first because I didn't need to film myself in every single scene.
@@teachingmodernarchitecture8587 I find this video just as engaging as the first one! Having more visuals has to be more effective in explaining your points. But whatever method you attempt to use, I can assure you that us the viewers will understand since you are such an articulate professor. :D I appreciate the analysis for such a micro detail of the house. As the saying goes, "God is in the details." I have been wondering why the table was placed there and you have given great reasons on why Le Corbusier put it there. Dissecting the process of great architects is a lot of fun to think about, just like you said. And we can apply those concepts onto our own projects in the future. Looking forward for more! Kudos, sir!
@@mikebuhayTV Great! Thank you for letting me know -- this will help me make decisions going forward. And thank you for the kind words! Cheers, brother. Talk to you soon :)

This architect really makes it easy to understand these concepts. Well done T.M.A.!
Thank you! So glad you feel that way.
Another video on my favourite architect. Keep making these, they're great!
Thanks Jonnay 👍
I like so much your content !!!
Thanks so much. I appreciate that a lot.
i need more! Your videos are amazing :D
Thanks so much for saying that. I am glad you learned something helpful. Take care.
your knowledge about the details of this project is impressive!
Thank you very much. Glad you feel that way.
It's interesting to me that the foot of the spiral staircase is facing away from the entrance, too. Not very inviting to a visitor to try the stairs.
