thanks I really needed this

This was great, loved every bit of it.

This video is a cinematic masterpiece for architecture documentary..

Thank you !
Very interesting video , because I didn't know about this congres, their purpose ,their evolution ..
.it really helps to understand the pocess . 🤗😀

Your contents are very high quality.. ❤❤ Bauhaus movement and CIAM may contradict each other..

Thank you for bringing this extraordinary history to light!

I really dislike their approach to urban planning.
The separation of spaces, with different functions, is really harmful, you don't need a shopping district, a living district etc. A district for healthy industry is justifiable, but mixed use neighborhoods are way more practical for every day life. In addition, their focus on cars and car centric infrastructure, instead of trains and walkable neighborhoods, really destroyed a healthy and sustainable way of life.

I don't get why they met in a medieval castle with so much ornamentation if they hated it so much?

I loved it .. this documentary opened up somuch debates and perspectives in this already complex work or ideas ..
I think modernism was and is an era which created this shift in paradime and after that everything became subjective.. from making the walls in brick,bamboo , concrete or steel all approaches are backed by strong individual ideas ... I think is how it actually should be, because this is what brings diversity in the work and culture .

I loved it, I like your storytelling
Thankyou
You're great, better than boring and uneducated teacher now have in college, keep doing

Great work man! The research work was on point👏

The problem with celebrity status architects is that their influence becomes dogmatic (Le Corbusier). It feels like the consensus around architecture today is more about the ego of the artist rather than the occupants and society at large. Throw in politics and capitalism and people are no longer a part of the equation at all. Modern urban planning and architecture has made us more distant as a society and I hope that paradigm shifts in favour of the people (eventually lol).

Urban planning issues and theories are in flux at this particular point in time. The need for innovative solutions is even more important when faced with climate change, political turmoil and the re-definition of the City, in light of the new technological evolution of AI. Travel...is no longer the driving force of access and the pattern of 'a living city'. New models will surely adapt themselves to the economic challenge of reduced resources. We must project ourselves into the future...to understand the options before us. Thanks for your comprehensive research and discussions ...'the Future' awaits our ideas...and inspirations.

who is that lady in saree??

Without question a very complex series of both historic and contemporary events with unfortunately no clear pathway or resolution. Much of what was discussioned and argued at the inception of CIAM is still relevent today. Are we as architects and city planners any more informed or knowledgable than before or after the disasterous events of WW2? Yes and no! I leave it to a younger generation of city planners to decide how to proceed and hopefully move forward in this electronic age.

What excellent crib notes - I should have already known, I do now --- thank you!

This was such an experience.. such research, edit and presentation. You did it exceptionally well. I'm a fan!
