Simultaneous Space In Architecture

Simultaneous spaces are used extensively in architecture. Simultaneous spaces are perceived both individually, but also together as a group or structure of spaces. This perception is ‘simultaneous’ occurring at the same time. Often there is a ‘dialectic’ in perception, keeping two different things in mind.

We may say there are three categories of simultaneous space in Modern architecture: Traditional, Modern, and Postmodern. Tradition architecture deals with traditional architectural forms and overlaying them. Modern architecture deals with functional space and fragments space into human activities. Postmodern architecture deals with social interpretations of space.

I would love to have a mentor like you. I've always thought the same thing about architecture. While most other students admire super modern buildings, I'd be looking at Niemeyer's Brasilia, or the Crystal Palace in London, or The Paris Opera House, as well as many restaurants built in Havana's countryside. I've always liked the idea of form as a way for art to create a space for function. I'm not obsessed with Neo-classical or anything like that. There's much to be said about modern architecture, particularly that everything has a function. The problem I see is that many new buildings seem to be about pleasing clients who strictly follow the trends, and not a unique creation that every building calls for, a unique work of art. Everything looks like everything else.

I'm on a journey to discover what couldn't understand back then, when I was in architecture school.

Going through your brings back memories and I'm understanding what i learnt through past 10 years. Thank you for re ignition of my passion for architecture.

This is the best video explaining architecture I've seen in 10 years

This is fundamental for parametric architecture. It's too good to be true but here it is. The knowledge is served properly. I can't thank you enough for this.

[haidaralhaibi]

Your work is so valuable, I wonder how this content with such effort can be for free... thanks for your efforts 🙏🏻♥️

Primera vez que comienzo a entender todo lo que quizás intentaron explicarme en la universidad. Muchas gracias por el video!! Genio!

[IgorGeek]

Nice content. Revit is just a tool to model and document the building, it is not a tool to conceive the project, in my humble opinion.

I watched your vid on architecture because I enjoy the subject, but I also found myself learning how to draw a purely functional diagram and turn it into a floor plan and how the architect can use tracing paper to tackle the various challenges of design that flourishes by creativity. I been studying bits and pieces for a while but the first few beginning steps always evaded me. Thanks.

Great presentation! Starting at 10:59, I recalled 'Mythologies' by Roland Barthes and was impressed by the inclusion of semiotics in architecture. Thank you.

[stevemiller]

Wow, you could do hours on this topic and it would be fascinating. Why have I never heard this terminology before? I have heard about breaking the box and compression/release but this is a whole new area of insight. More please. Also a request --- delve into cognitive architecture ala Ann Sussmann. Thank you and carry on.🙂🙂🙂💯❤️

[bagassantosa]

just found your channel at the end of my final college, I feel regretful but very thankful at the same time

[manjunaths]

This video was excellent for upcoming architectural students.
Yes, you did lot of hard work to present it. Thank you

[vanajavuppala]

Wit lot of career breaks left working in the field if architecture. And as I couldnot work with those packages like revit and all..with heavy heart stopped working.. now your videos are bringing back my passion fir architecture. Not sure if I will ever work in architecture field but happy watching your videos. Thankyou.

I’m in my last semester of Bc. for architecture and civil engineering (CTU Prague), and honestly, I know shit about diagraming and principles. Nothing. My creativity was murdered by teachers in my first 2 years and I went to therapy because of constant toxicity.
We do our thesis work in VR, I should bring smth tomorrow to show and I’m simply watching your videos to at least ground myself mentally and learn where to start
So thank you so so much !❤️‍🩹

[IronLordFitness]

Why did I not find this channel before? Every video is perfect.

[osamaamir]

Such an amazing vedio I learn so much from your vedios that I'm not thought in architecture school.
Thank you.

[michaellevi]

So much effort was put into intellectual jargon, yet so little in actually making what's beautiful. This is evident from the pure fact of modern architecture, art deco being an exception.

[baptistejamaigne]

Just discovered your videos and for an architecture student, what a discover ! It is so simply explained and showed. As a pencil lover, I can't agree more with you and the use of drawing. If only all teacher could learn from your method !

[btbfree]

Glad to find an American architect posting about the field. 30X40 workshop and Henry Gao are also spreading the good, bad and ugly of the field.

[gepisar]

that was a fantastic speed run of architectural design. Brilliant.
