Let’s Talk About Parti Diagrams - Vol. 02 | feat. Seattle Library and Chichu Art Museum 

Thanks. Never too late

Good to hear

Good to hear

Thanks for watching and commenting

Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful

Thanks for your comments. It’s also learning to see when good work seemingly appear to be random, you know it’s actually highly composed.

@@Archimarathon totally. Dissecting Zumthor's zinc mines project on site while on study tour in Norway revealed so many layers to the project #archiflex

Yes I found that a lot of students would only focus on the bubble diagram of program or that they come up with programmatic idea and that’s it. Not thinking about the architectural moves (what) and their consequences (why). Have you seen that TED Talk before?

Actually, not yet. I’m going to watch it and probably use on my Ted talks section of the course

Thank you 🙏. It would all make a lot more sense if they have watched part one as well as the What Why How episode

Please share with your colleagues

@@Archimarathon I definitely will! BTW, Andrew is so cute. Like an eight-year-old boy 😄

@@legendl7254 Yes. You know my pain lol

Thanks Lou

Thanks again. Please spread the word.

Glad you got something out of this

Glad you found our channel. Spread the word. I think a lot of episodes already you can hear a lot of what Andrew does and thinks it’s important to his practice and his projects. Check out all the other videos (yes it will take time). I suggest checking out the Chronological playlist

Thanks

🐫. So what does that make a platypus which is even weirder combination of features?

​@@Archimarathon An otter designed by a committee of ducks? ...Or just the ugliest duckling?

With a marsupial standards committee

🤯

I heard there are some amazing seafood in Sendai... what's what I really want to go for!

@@Archimarathon oh, don't even get me started on Japanese food! Yum...

As Andrew said many a times, especially in the Post -Justified design episode, just start drawing. Design is not linear. There is no right way to start. Have you watched all the Design Fundamentals playlist?

So my problem is more about the purpose that is missing. I have an idea for a form and want to go into detail but don't know what this structure should be about.

But thanks for your answer. I love your view on the things

Shrink Rap

Have you watched the WHAT WHY HOW episode from which the lexicon is drawn from and the first episode of the PARTI series? If you haven’t, it would make a lot more sense if you did. Link in the description

We should do an episode about this Kev, as it shows a complete misunderstanding of what architectural education offers. It is a superb exploration of critical thinking and will never and should never be like taking a driving test. Critical thinking cannot be taught. It must be learned. University is about self directed critical thinking. Not vocational training. This viewer does not seem to understand the purpose of tertiary education. Let’s discuss.

@@maynardarchitects Yes that was one of the ideas I was floating but yes we could even have a more direct one that talks about this point. We will see how it goes with the length and depth of our rant

@@maynardarchitects You're probably right. All these years in and I'm still (almost) none the wiser. I'll get my coat.

​@@maynardarchitects Why not do an episode showing your individual workflows when taking a simple brief through to a form/massing and basic floor arrangements? This is the one big hole in architectural education. Of course, there are endless methodologies for pushing through this process (OK, the car analogy was off the mark) but being given ideas of varying approaches and loose methodologies in the form of lectures to enable students to form their own individual approaches (and therefore discover their own way) can only be a positive. Without it, some of us are left struggling and grasping for air. And this omission might go some way to explaining the reason for the huge dropout numbers from architecture schools (from confused and self doubtful students), therefore losing some talented people to other disciplines in the process. A good friend is a successful product designer and when we compare notes over a pint he's often talked about sitting through numerous design theory and process lectures. I see the requirement for this in Architecture as no different in this regard. It's a design discipline. Although you’ve harshly interpreted my clumsy musings otherwise, I totally get what tertiary education is all about having been through it/in it for over 9yrs. I see all of us non-bullshit architectural types as being in the trenches together fighting the good fight against pretentiousness and supporting each other without judgement. Isn’t this channel aimed at throwing off the preconceptions of condescending architectural attitudes and opening up the discipline for wider appreciation and understanding?......'archi-speak is bullshit'. You had me at 'archi-speak...'
