Possibly the most relatable and organic series in architecture. Plus the dynamic is not something that can be easily replicated

@brnkx8177 3 года назад

Would suggest doing a sort of year by year breakdown of what your aspirations were at the time you were in university. Who you looked up to and how your views changed both on the architects which were influential to you and your ideologies on ARCHI. sadly they are furbies would have been much better if they were mogwis

@Archimarathon 3 года назад

Thanks. Interesting suggestion. Will have to have a good think about that one. Cheers

It's almost like you're watching my Masters course then making videos that segway perfectly with crit feedback (or thoughts I've had) to push my studies forward with. Spooky, but seriously useful. Keep it rolling.

@Archimarathon 3 года назад

Sorry what exactly do you mean especially relating to your course?

@grandmasterplank 3 года назад

@@Archimarathon Each week your videos (almost without exception) seem to relate really closely to my Masters in terms of the advice your giving in them and the advice I need that week to progress to the next stage of a project. It's all been weirdly in sync. All really helpful stuff. Your vids are taylor-made for Masters students. I've recommended your channel to many in my year.

Back in the 70’s, I took some classes where architectural design and language were one thing. The professor was Christopher Alexander and we used his books “The Timeless Way Of Building” and “A Pattern Language” The design process was linear. We started with big patterns like: Place the building on the south in the site. (For north facing outdoor space in the northern hemisphere) and Save the most beautiful part of the site and build in the part that needs improvement. We would continue through to the smallest details like: place each window to optimize each view. We didn’t draw until the building was completed in our minds and staked out on the site. I never designed a real building using pattern language, but it was a useful exercise both in design and presentation, as well as a great way to force us students to visualize our designs in three dimensions.

@Archimarathon 2 года назад

Haha I sat in his class briefly at UC Berkeley. I was trying to participate since no one were talking or answering his questions. He told me to shut up.

@martinwander8295 2 года назад

@@Archimarathon HaHaHa. I expected to work with Christopher Alexander when I signed up for three months of hands on work building a Pattern Language community in Mexico. In the end, I wrote a scathing letter to him, complaining that we never saw him during my entire time on the project. I caused a minor furor back in Berkeley. The experience for me was a good one, and I’m very glad I got to live within a Mexican family, get real experience Building, and eat wonderful Mexican food. The design process was really good for me though I never directly used it in real life. Alexander was at his best as a guru, lecturing in a big auditorium while sitting cross legged and Buddha-like on a table on stage. He was absent as a professor.

Great stories. I hope you enjoy the t-shirts. Also if you are bored and would like to chat with people around the world (lot of them are students but also some practitioners), come join our discord server

OMG this Lego Model! I can´t think of anything else. What an important discussion you´ve had. Seen in hindsight, all your videos have a strong relationship. I couldn't help but remember "Our section on sections" because I think that a good section talks a lot about the project and needs no words. Keyword: good. It´s essential to choose the right spot on the project to do the section. And a special comment for Andrew, I´m in love with Tatoo house since it was published on Archdaily long time ago

@Archimarathon 3 года назад

Thanks again for your comment and your ongoing support.

@NixSheth23 3 года назад

This lesson applies beyond design school... communicating each step of your design process adds value to your firm too. Rather than prospective clients seeing the end result (aka "pretty pictures") they can see all the hard work/design thinking that went into each phase.

@Archimarathon 3 года назад

Yes indeed. Which is why we talked a lot about dealing with planners for example. Step by step communication.

@Nynke_K 3 года назад

Interesting and fun, as always! And interesting to see the evolution in your use of the two-camera set-up. Less of a ping pong effect than last time, but I still got distracted by Andrew looking out of the frame at the other camera, until I realized you can't have people get distracted by Star Wars *all* the time :)

@Archimarathon 3 года назад

Actually the second camera was originally just there as a back up for the audio, but again the audio played up again on Andrew and also the camera angle was better in some ways because Andrew was hiding behind the Lego most of the time too. So I decided to use that second camera for some shots. It allows for easier editing cuts.

As an artist and teacher, I am very happy to hear your analysis of things. Especially fascinated by your honesty in not being impressed by great architect lecturers' words. That really hit home and is something I will carry back to my students. In non COVID times, we always spend time building with LEGO in my classroom. But now, I'm adding a new lesson extension on the quiet beauty of their instructions. Thank you for giving me lots to process and joyfully pass on.

@Archimarathon 3 года назад

Great to hear

@timconnell4117 2 года назад

I would be interested to see you go through a set of your construction documentation to see how you communicate the instructions to those who are building the design. I dont see many drawing sets giving step by step construction instructions.

It's kind of like kids blocks and that simple puzzle of inserting a cube block through a square hole. No instructions, no guidance. Just an instinct of figuring out what fits where.

@Archimarathon 3 года назад

Yes the communication should feel effortless, which often requires the highest level of thinking

@Blubberbooi 3 года назад

Yes, they are called Furbies.

@Archimarathon 3 года назад

Thanks Eddie

@ghoulman51 3 года назад

Rubik's cubes are an example I feel. It seems intuitive to know the goal is to align each colour to a side. Even if the solving is a bit tricky/patten learning.

@Archimarathon 3 года назад

This is not about being easy to use (UI/UX) but about the communication of complex ideas graphically without any words.

Origami instructions are also a good example of non-verbal language

I had an assignment was to illustrate how a wiki house assembled in an IKEA style at my first year. I didn't get the point until I watched this tonight😂.

@hurtecho 2 года назад

I never, never really liked the look of an isometric at 45° angled view...always believed that it does not enough justice to a design, it's not necessarily very aesthetic, but I understand it's often a "norm" in order to showcase whatever aspects of the design/project and it makes complete sense in some cases, of course; other angled views are so much flattering though...but my teachers would always caught that and would ask me to change the view to 45°...I never got a break on that back in the day.

@Archimarathon 2 года назад

I don't care for 45 degrees but I do like the plan oblique projection
