  1. Sad that a video with this amount of work does’t receive as many views as
    many videos of gamer for example. I really enjoyed this video, thank you :)

  2. America is more than one country. Here is America’s greatest Library – h t

  3. I’m really sorry, I don’t want to be a spammer, but I am 13 and I really
    wish I could get some feedback on my designs. If it’s not too inconvenient,
    I would love to here some suggestions.

  4. concrete desserts without a soul. who wants to live there? no wonder people
    like historic buildings more than modern architecture and architects hate
    them for it because it’s prove that modern architects can’t hold a candle
    to the old masters.

  5. Actually, they do represent humanity as interpreted by the ideology of the
    style that building was built in. That’s why pre-modernist (like art deco)
    skyscrapers strive upward, conveying a sense of humanty’s greatness. And
    also why modernist monolithic skyscrapers impose themselves on a skyline
    and on the beholder, thereby conveying a belittling view of the human
    condition..

  6. what the?? you guys were right across the Boston public library and you
    didn’t mention it and the architectural significance of it to america???
    and I’m from Toronto Canada.. Rafael Guastavino? ring a bell..

  7. the blocks at the start, look like old lifeless soviet eastern blocks. And
    the church at 11.00 look like a techno rave house :). intellectual art , or
    simply just something to look like architecture ?

  8. True, but it’s only a one hour show. They went to Chicago and included only
    the Sears Tower (!) and in St Louis they didn’t manage even a drive-by of
    the Wainwright Building. The Boston Public Library doesn’t fit into the
    evolution of the modernist canon…not that that is a good reason to ignore
    it…Also, when I lived in Boston architects identified the Hancock Tower
    as the work of Henry Cobb not I.M. Pei (both of Pei’s firm eventually known
    as Pei Cobb Freed)…a better architect I’d say?)

  9. Blah blah blah, …new materials… blah blah, …new forms, …blah blah
    new paradigm…, blah discourse…, scale blah blah, …engage the
    challenge of the future of the next blah blah. Who designed these robots?

  10. This is truly an amazing presentation of how MIT thinks and acts through
    art and architecture. Highly recommended. #architecture #MIT #beinspired

  11. Clever and slick but what is the human link to experience and meaning prior
    to shape form and geometry. Geometry is only a spatial language and
    delivery system. Ultimately no matter how clever and spectacular you have
    to have something to say something to deliver. Thye notion “Beyond bricks
    and mortar” is a pre occupation and veils the true purpose

  12. Check my brand new youtube channel with my new visualization: “Make your
    dream come true” – Unique Sustainable Dream Ranch — with great diversity
    of function
    The channel will primarily focus on my ideas and visions though my creative
    passion for 3D modeling in Trimble SketchUp
    Enjoy

  13. Okay, if you’re making self-assembling architecture, that’s cool. Really!
    But what we really NEED are cheap self assembling emergency houses and
    structures that are good for disaster relief, research stations in the
    Antarctic, lunar and mars bases and so on. Simple, cheap self assembling
    airtight boxes that insulate well. I love seeing some of the fancy
    architecture, but it’s pretty important that we get stuff like that. I hope
    you all don’t get so consumed by fancy shapes you forget to take care of
    the truly important basics to help people who aren’t rich.

  14. ok so you have technology, and brains ..but architecture doesn t have to be
    all techy and all arogant stiff nerdness, architecture is also about
    pleasent shapes and angles, and homey homes, and classy looking public
    buildings, and getting overpaid by corporates for crappy futuristic office
    buildings :)

  15. no money no architecture. as simple as that since centuries. oh and no
    resources no energy i forgot to mention. destroys your fancy dreams of a
    fancy designed future? dream on then…

  16. i wanna work with your team i’m in Lao the small country i need to learn
    more for develop architecture design and construction in my country if you
    all saw my comment pleassssse help me and pick me in your small staff in
    your team ^__^

  17. form and function is the art Architecture . i can build home from landfill
    wast that look like any home but much better build stronger and 50%
    cheaper
