I'm Mooch, and this is Pigeonhead Architecture; a channel dedicated to create architectural designs that are not governed by physics, politics, or economics, but instead fueled by the inspiration of the imagination and by the members of this community. We upload a new design every Sunday. Make sure to leave a comment telling us what you would like to see for a chance to have that topic chosen for the following week. It's good that you check out the channel trailer first (Welcome to Pigeonville) just to get a glimpse at what our channel is all about. Then head over to our Playlists and select " RU-vid Homes". Here you'll be able to see everything we've designed so far. We look forward to having you as part of our community; if you decide to subscribe, make sure to introduce yourselves in the comments of one of our videos; we like to try to get to know ALL of our community member :D take care, and remember, we love you!
Thank you so very much you saved me so much money as a student doing her thesis! My goodness thanks alot but I have one question! My mouse is so slow on the ipad I have ipad pro 2018 11 inch. Is that normal for everyone? Thanks again and god bless!! <3
Man am i having fun in your comment section Firstly i hope you see the ballet dancers in the section. Second that random stairs i think is to access the roof Thirdly and this seems to be a theme with the last video i posted but you asked about what are they going to do with the space and that you would get bored in 10 minutes, and I feel that sometimes that is the point with great architecture. The world is super fast and we have to live according to schedules so sometimes creating spaces for just being still is important in architecture. The tree and the bench were the old spaces in the parks we used to spend time with our parents, now it is the TV room. So i think this goes to that kind of sensibility about trying to reaffirm the better older tendencies and not those of the modern era and then you complained about the walkway in the front squeezing the building, to be thats more akin to older buildings where you have a large driveway, with foundation establishing the location before you get to the house. In this case that is more likely for hiding the tree so you have a slow reveal of the space to follow, one of those paths of discovery that people see the first time they visit you
I think mexico has some of the best arquitecture at this moment i follow some mexican arquitecture channel and some the things they are doing are really good
3:36, having courtyards with water inside of them is a core of Arabic architecture do the project location. There is a lot of obvious influence by Arabic architecture. The purpose of the water is that it cools the wind that gets inside of the courtyard Therefore the wind will be cooler when it enters the rooms. This is the reason why there is water in all of the courtyards.
Well, I understand that water is important for evaporative cooling in hot arid locations, what I didn't understand was the decision to add that specific element in that specific location. There are steps that make it seem like it's a pool, it's usable but it's in a strange location. I can't picture people using that space like a pool but it reads like one. That's why I was confused.
The traditional way to do it was to put a fountain in the middle of the courtyard, though I don’t know why exactly they design it this way, but my theory is that they tried to design it in a modern way, so they turned the fountain into this design, and the water is pretty shallow cause we can see the rocks in the water so anyone can step in if they want to refresh from the heat.
9:25 The large wall that you said “it has no purpose” is to block the neighbors view and give more privacy to the project, due to religious purposes(I am assuming that the owner is Muslim) so I am pretty sure that privacy was a important factor that the architects considered while designing
@@Moochers My pleasure, by the way because of the privacy factor people tend to open less windows to outside and open them to the courtyard, and also sometimes they try to separate the guest area from the family area and not open windows between them to protect the families privacy from the guests, so maybe just maybe this is why there weren’t windows at the places you mentioned that would be great for a window
@@husseinali6905 ah, in other words a lot of the design has to follow strict design guidelines and there isn’t much opportunity for certain architectural exploration. Thank you!
Just saying... Given your thoughts when talking about almost any one could do something with this, if there is any discord activity, a fun challenge would be to give people the plan of the space with a brief to see what they could do
Only 5 minutes in and this house is an architectural masterclass to a tee... Without finishing the video feels like one of those things where each courtyard is meant for a different feeling, and the didatic juxtaposition between each of them seems both practical and intentional which is why that first shot of the dude in the water just screams Wow... OH shit that reflective shot... This is now reminding me of Peter Zumthor and his spa
Ironically, you didn't mention the project name or architect. CASA 1736 by H ARQUITECTES (great studio, check them out!!). Great video; nonetheless, I agree. The language architects use annoys me. I love architects that show the process (HERZOG HERZOG HERZOG). It's almost like they have that anxiety that was created in school by tutors belittling students for choices they don't like and/or understand. If they explained their choices, you probably would see why the back of the property is the way it is. Also, this is in Barcelona, so maybe the choices are cultural? As a European, a lot of the choices make sense to me.
@@stepanov_architect I appreciate that man. I’ve been having a lot of fun making these and learning about new projects. I’m happy that you’re liking them too!
I like corten cause it shows its age... like wood just happens a little faster Buildings that shoe age can be come timeless if in the right setting In a city... can be gimmicky... But in the forest...and situated next to a rail... Kinda would have a reminiscence to when you find an abandoned train
The plans are ok. The living room needs to be near the balcony. The elevations have movement like pages turning in a book. I'd live there. They used a 3D printer for the model. Do a Revit model (or hand sketch) and a section cut to get an interior view, if you have time.
I would defo stay there... if i can park my car by my unit Going to the privacy thing I believe they are advocating or talking about the duality of the end of each of the units... Unlike a normal studio style apartment, the glass is not at the end of the room... but instead there is a wall.. this gives privacy both to the neighbouring plots, seeing as the units are elevated. This also means you cant look into adjacent units which is a commion issue with stacked apartmenrts where you have balconies that look onto others property This can also be seen in how the ground floor opens to the common area, and the first floor opens towards the street. In simple terms Privacy through the glass you see... .... laughing how i didnt get to the blinders part... its in the buildings gesture... but these people defienitely overplaying the Victorian links with that
Hey mooch hope you well missing the discord... cause i been gone I think they use the word "Pour" to distinguish from Cast... so as the reconnect the action of making concrete back to the older ways of doing it with small slip casts and not formwork Similar to why they chose it for the walls. Cast concrete = large scale barren industrial nature. Pouring and layering = human scale reminiscent of both brick and the layers in soil Similar to the walls of caves when you excavate, which tiles back to excavating the central core form the original house... Aka Jargon lols
Hey man! I haven't been on the Discord in a while either. It was actually "Poor" that they wrote out. Your description is spot on though, and I agree with it.
Its hilarious how while studying this is something we tried to do... Cause we are told dont speak about the process too much... speak more about the themes and outcomes and throw in some process
The plan and sections appear to be well designed and have a nice Feng Shui harmonious flow. However, the elevations do not translate well from the plan to 3D. The walls are sharp edges, static, and sterile. Some plants and flowers could add warmth. The stone work is beautiful! Overall, the architectural interiors are more art installation or a boutique AirBnB. It is a crisp design, IMO.
4:10 ugh...no TV 😅..not in book in sight either. But one can cast videos from phone to a projector into the plethora of blank walls. At a theoretical curriculum university, the ramp represents a ritual precession entry. Might have a astronomical reference. Looking through the floor to ceiling window....Trees, knats, and bears...oh my...pretty Love your critiques! I'm here for it all.
Have you ever seen his videos where he watches house tours? He gives some very good hints into what he likes and doesnt like when it comes to home design.
moist meter is where he rates movies and things so probably something like a theater but with a separate room with a screen where he can replay certain parts of the movies and talk about them
I think we are going to need some white modern exterior to represent his white tee shirts and a curved flowy roof to represent his long luxurious hair. Also throw in a room for his Moby Huge collection.
