i am really into turkish rock scene these days (it is big again). this video was shot in jon jerde shopping mall in istanbul. an anti corporate song; sirket = corporation sirket
and another song by the same band; sevda cicegi = love flower,
an old song of my generation re-rendered. a little psychedelic. my favorite. sevda cicegi
you know, 10 minutes into the program i start to like libeskind and i think they should let him do the project but i also understand that his project had no chance because it wasn't really that much about commercialism and money making adventure. he certainly has the fire in his ass and when i saw the holocaust museum in berlin, i 'felt' as a museum goer what took place in germany during the ww2. he is a complete stager and inserted a whole story behind the building, which he did it again in his design for wtc. interestingly, one by one mediocre som got rid of his ideas.
the wtc design now, is nothing but cold cash venture which is really embarrassing even though they will fire a lot of red, blue and white fire crackers into the air when it goes in the rental market, looking for an anchor tenant etc. the bumfuck design they are building already has no soul. thanks for the video marlin. when are we gonna have lunch?
what i really wonder though, if charlie rose eats his lunch on his wooden table as well?

receiving the pritzker of 2004 in st petersburg where her constructivists heroes thrived early 20 th century. there are other pritzker ceremonies but i choosed her for being the only architect breaking the rules of all male receipients of the gold medal. you have to wait about 28 minutes until she comes on the stage. it is always the politicians first. oh, the pritzker family, puff and puff, old smoky boys and tea cup ladies of the ruling class.
she is introduced as uncomprimising, dazzling modernist. oh yea, rem is there too. there are some empty seats and at one point mr rothschild asks 'where is norman?' (foster)...no show gehry as well but he promised to come to leningrad later we are told... who cares, zaha doesn't.
oh, the western world and their honors. mainly boring and i doubt any of you will watch it in full. zaha sits there like a proud mary. everybody doing the pre award speech at least mentions once that she is a women. she herself says she is a woman architect but not a female architect. and 'yes' she says, 'i am an arab'.
she gets a standing ovation. i like her. she honors rem, who is proudly watching her, in her speech as her teacher among many others. it is a long thank you speech with references to secular iraq. bravo zaha. however late.
are rest of the flicks at pritzker library. click on onlinevideos at left column.
this years award in istanbul is an interesting show with turkish pm arriving by boat.
Ada Louise: Of course! If course they're artists, but they have a much tougher role than most artists. They have to make things that work, and it still has to be art.
...these "extraordinary producers" documentaries make my day when i have time to watch them. What seemed like just a few turns out to be quite a collection, and they seem to get better and better with each digging.
But hey, sometimes youre not Gehry or Calatrava. Sometimes you're a little uncomforatable selling yourself and let your humility prevail, but still, you think deeply about the art and make it your life, just like niceguy architect Kenneth Allen from Albany, NY. "Architecture is, what i call, a way for life to think about itself."
prefab mob. sound goes away after a while, too bad because that was the entertaining arrgh factor. specially when the first designer says her pad is pretty much concealed except the entrance. judge for yourself.
really enjoyed bilbao video. you know, its easy to hit on frank, but he is a master of space. i have to admit that i've never seen a bad frank gehry space and i've seen a lot of his buildings first hand.
there were some model building contests in new york bar, with famous architects like steven hall's office versus libskind or something. anybody remember? it had a funny name maybe?? i'd like to add video of that here if i find it.

Enjoy a few episodes of the BBC series, "Around the World in 80 Treasures". While much of the content in this thread is contemporary, this travel series touches base with structures and artefacts that have stood the test of mankind's self-destruction:
From Hagia Sophia to the Seagram building, from the Colt revolver to underground Turkish catacombs, the show even visits the Bauhaus for some cozy-time with Mies' Cantilever Chair, and tells the ironic story of the VW Beetle's invention by the Nazi's, boldly declaring that the VW Beetle is " the finest Bauhaus design that the Bauhaus never designed."
using the video game modeling engine as a tool for architects, killing your friends with a rail gun inside your fourth-year housing project, fighting the Flood inside a Hadid city plan: these are late night studio dreams.
Of particular note, this film reinforces the perceptual benefits of replicating source sound in a 3d modelled presentation video (trees, wind, traffic, indoor vs. outdoor ambience), instead of scoring it with throbbing techno music.

Two more:
Thought you knew Gehry's Guggenhiem? Think again.
Think you can be as good as Calatrava? Keep on thinking: Calatrava's train station in Satolas, France. Hands down the most "beautiful" film thus far.
But hey, sometimes youre not Gehry or Calatrava. Sometimes you're a little uncomforatable selling yourself and let your humility prevail, but still, you think deeply about the art and make it your life, just like niceguy architect Kenneth Allen from Albany, NY. "Architecture is, what i call, a way for life to think about itself."
Watch him in "Meet the Architect" Kenneth Allen: "His work, his jazz influenced art work, and his passion for custom homes."
It's just like Charlie Rose, if Charlie Rose had a square table.

Watch a filmmaker fuck up Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater with depolorable editing and shot selection.
