What is the role of the architect today? | Dimitrios Sotiropoulos | TEDxBathUniversity
Dimitrios’s talk reflects on the role of the architect in contemporary society. He discusses the socio-political dimension of architecture and he calls on architects to become thinkers of much bigger scale than that of the building. The city can thereby become the field of architecture, while the street can form the element that holds the urban fabric together.
Dimitrios Sotiropoulos is a registered architect in the UK and Netherlands,
as well as a Bath alumnus. He attaches sociopolitical depth to the
discipline of architecture, and challenges the traditional urban logic.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

Architect Jeanne Gang on changing the shape of a city
Jeanne Gang, arguably the most important female architect working today, heads her own firm, Studio Gang, which is pushing the boundaries of the good that architecture can do, for connecting communities and for the environment. Gang talked with correspondent Martha Teichner about her most recent project, an expansion of New York's American Museum of Natural History, and about the skyscrapers, airport terminal, and other civic spaces she has designed in her hometown of Chicago meant to transform spaces, outside and within.

Architect Designs a Breathtaking Home Connected to Nature (House Tour)
When an architect designs a breathtaking home connected to nature, the results can be mesmerising. Six Square House by Young Projects is one such example, and this house tour, which takes viewers inside and documents how an architect designs a breathtaking home, captures the contemporary home and surrounding landscape in all its glory.
Nestled deep into the large property, this house is defined by half a dozen cubes, which tesselate from a centre point, resulting in a dynamic piece of architecture set amid a lush garden. As architect Bryan Young says, “the gabled modules are arranged to align roof ridges and create continuity from one module to the next.” The contemporary form is connected to nature in a myriad of ways – the cubic volumes feature openings, which act as conduits to the ga...

I am an Architect - The History of Architecture
Lyrics:
Let’s look back in history with this little rhyme
To the architecture trends since the beginning of time
The birth of architecture so simple so sweet
A design so magnificent it can’t be beat
It's the primitive hut hearth, roof, and foundation
I’m the first architect and this is my creation
Now chop off the top and you have a new design
An era for the gods and pharaoh so divine
Mudbricks and limestone aligned to constellations
Built along the nile in a pyramid formation
Your pyramids are cool but they lack in practicality
We’re the Greeks and Romans and we build for immortality
From the Parthenon to Pantheon and the Imperial Forum
Look at our town plan and all our decorum
Welcome to the Renaissance we have a new objective
Brunelleschi led the way with linear perspective
Art...

Inside Tan France’s Dream Salt Lake City Home | Open Door | Architectural Digest
Today Architectural Digest is welcomed by Tan and Rob France to tour their new home in Salt Lake City. Wanting a forever home for their growing family, the 'Queer Eye' star and his husband bought a plot of land and spent the next three years building their dream house from the ground up. With the help of The Fox Group, Tan and Rob built a grand Tudor-style home bringing together a blend of South Asian, English, and American interior touches. The design of their home was the project of a lifetime for the 'Next in Fashion' host, and it was Tan’s own background as a stylist and designer that helped bring the couple’s dreams to life. “I treated this house like a collection,” France says. “If you’ve ever been to a runway show, it should tell a story. I wanted the top of the house to be like the...

When an architect designs a breathtaking home connected to nature, the results can be mesmerising. Six Square House by Young Projects is one such example, and this house tour, which takes viewers inside and documents how an architect designs a breathtaking home, captures the contemporary home and surrounding landscape in all its glory.
Nestled deep into the large property, this house is defined by half a dozen cubes, which tesselate from a centre point, resulting in a dynamic piece of architecture set amid a lush garden. As architect Bryan Young says, “the gabled modules are arranged to align roof ridges and create continuity from one module to the next.” The contemporary form is connected to nature in a myriad of ways – the cubic volumes feature openings, which act as conduits to the garden; apertures from within frame the landscape; and the internal courtyard captured in the house tour features a garden bed beneath a timber pavilion. It is holistic and intentional – the type of effect achieved when an architect designs a breathtaking home.
The house tour takes viewers inside where the interiors are bright and connected to nature. The living area unfurls to the east and the kitchen sits to the west along the home’s central spine. Up above, the lines of the hybrid roofscape can be traced across the ceiling. Lofty and bright, the sense of openness is unexpected in comparison to the strict, geometric exterior. Bryan speaks to this, saying, “if each of the six volumes can be read as autonomous elements from the outside, from the inside, you begin to realise that in fact they’re conjoined in a very interesting way.”
The pared-back materiality enhances the home’s tranquil feeling. In the kitchen, there is light timber cabinetry and natural stone benchtops, and the furniture and artwork add a characterful layer. Architect Noah Marciniak comments on the interior design, saying the restrained material palette is fitting for a summer house in the Hamptons. Above all, it illustrates how an architect designs a breathtaking home.
There is a lot to digest at Six Square House – from its dense, architectural detail and expertly placed apertures to the ever-changing roster of art and design – yet it is inherently connected to nature, as seen in the house tour. As a meticulously designed and delivered residence, it exemplifies how an architect designs a breathtaking home through its many considered outcomes.

Follow a typical day in the life of an architect. Part architecture vlog, part behind-the-scenes look at some of the tasks architects work on each day: from designing a set of elevations to managing projects in construction, to writing specifications, to managing an office, and how to deal with the inevitable creative blocks creatives face on a daily basis.
I intentionally structure my day to be divided between making in the morning and managing in the afternoons, with a mid-day transition break for exercise. Learn why this works for me and follow along as I work through some of the most common struggles an architect faces in daily professional practice.
For aspiring architects, architecture students, and those curious about exactly what it is that architects do each day.
In future vlogs I hope to be able to show more of the construction coordination and dialogue that happens outside of the studio as this is where so many decisions are made.

Lyrics:
Let’s look back in history with this little rhyme
To the architecture trends since the beginning of time
The birth of architecture so simple so sweet
A design so magnificent it can’t be beat
It's the primitive hut hearth, roof, and foundation
I’m the first architect and this is my creation
Now chop off the top and you have a new design
An era for the gods and pharaoh so divine
Mudbricks and limestone aligned to constellations
Built along the nile in a pyramid formation
Your pyramids are cool but they lack in practicality
We’re the Greeks and Romans and we build for immortality
From the Parthenon to Pantheon and the Imperial Forum
Look at our town plan and all our decorum
Welcome to the Renaissance we have a new objective
Brunelleschi led the way with linear perspective
Artistic expression at its core
Form and engineering for you to adore
With iron and steel our building stock grew
Crystal Palace, Eiffel Tower and bridges to name a few
New innovations like the high rise
Made cities grow to unprecedented size
Less is more strip all ornament
build for the masses and the less fortunate
Black thread and circle specs are the new attire
Steel and glass facades for you to admire
Reject the modern rules they’re boring and bland
This is postmodernism where ornament is grand
Fractured designs and the rules undefined
The crazier the better let’s all lose our minds
The past shapes the present and now we’re here today
With environmental standards we’re building in new ways
Sustainable sites LEED certified
Recycled materials that are locally supplied
The future looks bright with less limitations
Architecture is evolving with more applications
Create the next trend and build in new ways
Frame the future starting today!

We're tackling everything from the commanding presence of Boston City Hall to the unforgettable works of Le Corbusier, shedding light on why these "concrete beasts" spark such debate.
I'll walk you through five key points that either make you nod in admiration or truly understand why some people love this style. We'll start with the real story behind the term 'Brutalism', dive into its roots in utopian socialism, and discuss why concrete isn't just practical—it's pivotal. By comparing Brutalist buildings' lasting, textured exteriors with the ephemeral nature of modern construction, we'll wrap up with a lively talk on Brutalism's role in both movies and the architectural world.
This video is for everyone: whether you're a Brutalism enthusiast, skeptic, or just curious about architecture. Prepare to see Brutalism in a new light, much like Chicago's own Malort, it's an acquired taste that's definitely worth exploring. Don't forget to hit like, share, and subscribe for more distinctive perspectives on architecture and design. Your support enables us to deliver top-notch content that cuts through the conventional chatter. #Brutalism #Architecture #DesignDebate

Today Architectural Digest is welcomed by Tan and Rob France to tour their new home in Salt Lake City. Wanting a forever home for their growing family, the 'Queer Eye' star and his husband bought a plot of land and spent the next three years building their dream house from the ground up. With the help of The Fox Group, Tan and Rob built a grand Tudor-style home bringing together a blend of South Asian, English, and American interior touches. The design of their home was the project of a lifetime for the 'Next in Fashion' host, and it was Tan’s own background as a stylist and designer that helped bring the couple’s dreams to life. “I treated this house like a collection,” France says. “If you’ve ever been to a runway show, it should tell a story. I wanted the top of the house to be like the opening look of a runway, and I wanted the final look to be shocking as the showstopper.”

Greek Classicism: A Design Resource, with Calder Loth - Part I
Architectural historian Calder Loth returns with a new course about how the architecture of Ancient Greece has inspired buildings and details in both Europe and...
Architectural historian Calder Loth returns with a new course about how the architecture of Ancient Greece has inspired buildings and details in both Europe and the Americas from the 18th to the 21st centuries.
This course is presented by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, a national nonprofit promoting the practice, understanding, and appreciation of classical design. To watch more online classes like this one, or to become a member and support our educational mission, visit https://www.classicist.org/ .
About the Course:
Architecture in Ancient Greece evolved into certain styles, following engineering conventions and local customs. Long after these buildings fell into ruin, the remains were eagerly studied by architects including Andrea Palladio in the 16th century, and by the intrepid duo Stuart & Revett in the 18th century, who codified what they found into what is now known as the "Ancient Greek architectural language." This design "language" saw a resurgence in the architecture of the 18th and 19th centuries, and can be found even in contemporary buildings in the 21st century, if one knows how to recognize these architectural forms. Greek classicism is yet a potent design resource and can enrich today's classical and traditional architecture.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the basic principles of ancient Greek architecture.
2. Explore how Greek architecture became used as a precedent for architecture in the 18th century and beyond.
3. Discuss a variety of examples of buildings in countries around the world that were inspired by the architecture of ancient Greece.
4. Explore how Greek architectural precedents can be used in practice today.
Receive credit for this course:
Viewers may receive 2 AIA CES Learning Units|Elective and 2 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Elective) by watching this two-part video course and subsequently scoring at least 70% on a summative assessment that tests your understanding of the material.
Please note that, as this is a two-part program, the quiz for this program will be at the end of Part II, and the quiz will test material from both video segments. Part II will be posted here soon.
About the Instructor:
Calder Loth is the retired senior architectural historian of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. He serves on the ICAA Council of Advisors and was the recipient of the 2010 ICAA Board of Directors Honor Award.
Sponsors for this course:
The ICAA would like to thank our Lead Sponsor for Continuing Education courses, Uberto Construction.
