Приєднався 22 тра 2015
The Architecture Foundation leads the conversation on the development of London and contributes to a global discourse about the architect’s changing role and responsibilities. We pursue this mission through the delivery of an accessible public programme that makes space for emerging architects, groups historically underrepresented in the profession, and representatives of a wide range of related disciplines. Exploring the architect’s capacity to combat climate change and systemic social inequalities represent central concerns of the programme.

Architecture of Counterrevolution: The French Army in Northern Algeria - Samia Henni
Croydon is the Milton Keynes of south London.
Hi professor good day to you. Could you please inform us what percentage of the novel have you read in this video? Thanks a lot.
Great to see Philip on film. I worked at Studio BAAD in the late 90's and it was an amazing time of my life, full on experience, lots of designing, after hours social gatherings, weekend parties and ideas thrown around and discussed. A lot of fun and sweat but amazing memories. When I moved down to London they said I had worked for the best design practice, out of London, in the UK.
Worked inside there on many occasions hard to find your way in and your way out , think they call it the concrete jungle
An excellent complement and introduction to the book. Highly recommended
I could listen to the nappy valley guy on a podcast about London he knows his onions
Harvey Nichols is in Knightsbridge innit
Thank you for this video. In barcelona prices are crazy now because of all these expats choosing to make of our city an instagramable commodity, and the government not doing anything. It's truly soul crashing to feel alienated from your city, and knowing that me and my friends probably won't be able to live here, making social life much harder if not impossible
For those wondering what the "Katy" she caught, while leaving him a mule to ride, is the Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad or M-K-T. Everyone simply referred to it as the Katy. In this version John Belushi is singing. It's the opening of the Blues Brothers movie. The song is an old Blues classic.
Interesting
Barby Ken?
nah this is so nostalgic and im only 14 💀💀
Herzlichen Dank für die wertvolle Präsentation.
This documentary seem to be a bit misleading. Almost like it was commissioned by Croydon themselves. I grew up in the 90's in croydon and it was thriving. Why they were talking about a financial crash in the 70's that made the big business leave? Thats just not true. Croydon started to decline after the riots. And its the people who were interviewed in this video who are responsible for it. The council rose the business rates to an unaffordable amount. There were thousands of businesses in those office blocks. And they all were forced out. Since then all of those buildings are being used as social housing and there is far fewer jobs because of it.
The speaker with the beard thinks Croydon is wonderful!! That is what is wrong... people who think like him.
sounds like Milton Keynes investing in car parks, commercial 'centres' roads, and that's it! The 'planners' ( Abercrombie and his minions) did the same to my home city Plymouth - a dual carriageway straight down the middle I worked for a while in what we called Loony House. in Croydon.Vile place East Croydon I didn't stay long- the Home Office was almost as unfit for purpose then as it is now. People like green and density which these 'planners' don't acknowledge. £££££ not people.
This is so beautiful made me cry hope to join this community and continue its ethos and wonderful entirety thank you 💜🙌🏽👑
lieber Herr Märkli. Ganz herzlichen Dank für dieses wertvolle, sinnvolle Heranführen zu den geometrischen Achteln und mehr. Ihnen zuzuhören ist wunderbar.
Everyone has to get lost in Barbican at night once in their lifetime😓
The architecture is fking awfull. It looks alot like a prison. Reminiscent of " the projects " in some regards . Like a dystopian scifi movie set .
This is dope
SPLENDID PRESENTATION! VISIONARY! Great initiatives with the Foster Foundation...... wish a reachout to the education system can be worked on ( let kids interact with designers architects cityplanners and play withmodels and workout the cities of their dreams)
Thank you George Tibbits, Jeff Turnball and Miles Lewis for a wonderful education. You make these kids look like google researchers.
We need to get rid of private spaces such as in stores, malls and public streets.
How about to stop letting everyone in?..
Uh... Have another listen of the content speaker goes over.
Nice lecture, thanks.
Please help me get Mr Pinks house listed and restored.
Just building houses does not solve the problem. You need opportunities for work, ideally outside of the black hole that is London.
"My life as a temporal object" is a fantastic phrase
I went there a lot, sometimes daily, when I was looking for work. It was warm, safe and had free wifi.
I went to infant and junior school with John Grindrod, it's great to see him again after all these years!
What a shizerhole, architects dream, locals nightmare. Soulless hole. Idiots in charge as usual.
Born in Croydon in 1952 i witnessed the huge change over the years. I worked for Croydon Council for forty years on the maintainance side as a carpenter. People have certainly changed there, it was a great community once especially in the 1960s.
We were on a school trip to London once back in the years, every day we had some free time from 4 to 9 pm and after that had to return to our hotel. While my mates were hangin around the main places of interest like Baker Street and etc, ive decided to visit Barbican and oh my god, that was an unforgettable experience! Sad thing i didnt make photos cuz my phone camera was trash and its was getting dark, but the atmosphere of Barbican is something i ll never forget. Would have spent more hours there if not for this time resttictions we had. I hope i revisit this place one day....
Absolute Witch 🧹
Commenting from the end question - there’s no way Governments are going to build this quality of design, density, location and radicalisation for todays housing crisis
I'm sure the architects didn't design all these little interventions out of the goodness of their hearts. Obviously the Council planners must've commissioned them.
Lecture is mawalass 👍👍👍👍👍
Legend of architect Asia south Asia
Croydon 1970 to 1989 was very nice. Now it's a broke crime riddled shit hole
maybe the best architecture lecture I've ever attended. thank you for such a perceptive look at one of my favorite architects.
I think I'm in love
Those delightful chairs that were installed in south end you talk about have now been removed due to the local drunks hanging out their everyday making local residents lives a nightmare. So yeah great idea
Out of the pages of “what were they thinking?” Truly monstrously hideous.
Garbled semantics.
A favourite quote from Peter Flemming in his "Brazilian Adventure", published in 1933. "São Paulo is much like Reading. It is not the newness of the place that surprises but the premature ageing."
Great name for a movement.
Interesting debate. Lots truths. Lots of marxism, too (with a small "m", ref: Arnold, UEA). Not sure the debate shouldn't be 'decoupled' from the political stance. Would an Architect make a good Prime Minister? Yes, a good architect would be a really good "project manager", in the same vein as John Major or Tony Blair. Equally, a professional architect may be like a good lawyer, in the same vein as Sir Kier Starmer. Dull, uninspiring. Yes, too, you can trace 'problems' back to the Victorian industrial model (and the rise of Socialism). Equally, you can trace 'solutions' back to the post-war reconstruction period - which can offer a much more fuller answer to many of these questions. Not 'capitalism vs. neo-liberalism', but centralism vs. localism. We need to revisit the solutions!
The best experience i have had so far❤
CROYDON ! Became the " DALLAS" of CROYDON ! IT LOOKED SOPHISTICATED & STYLE ! COULD HAVE BECME A " CITY " IF NOT FOR THAT RIOT!!! CAUSED In TOTTENHAM COURT ESTATE. 🙄🙄😯😲😱😱!!! MIGHT HAVE PROGRESSED BEAUTIFULLY!!! FROM,U.K. (2023).
