Spatial Transformations in Architecture

What are the first concepts an architecture student should learn? What are first principles of architectural design all architects should know?

This is a complete course in architectural spatial design in one video.

Thank you so, SO much for this. You basically just summed up my first year in arch school

This helps better than my sophomore year professor…

I'm feeling so much gratitude for this. Thank you for producing this content and sharing. I've been in grad school for 2 years and we just skipped over these concepts...yet were critiqued on them. I think your explanation will definitely help make me a better architect

Thank, you. Was thinking about this stuff this morning, now your video is there. Now i understand why they are using rhino instead of bim programs at university. All this subtracting extruding and so on its all about the form

im in first year studying architecture in brussels, belgium, and we have to do everything by hand, the computer is forbidden. we have to learn to draw and understand perspective and geometry etc it’s very interesting
i just watched this captivating video thank you so much for this it taught me a lot

I am always amazed at the beautiful buildings humanity has created.

We are amazing. Look at these buildings! Humans built them!

[ruthbaker]

Absolutely
Thank you. I appreciate this.

This was incredible. As a complete novice to architecture you have made me excited to learn more...I've subscribed and will share your video on my website

Impressive work on laying the fundametals of the architecture and thank you. I don't recognise the structure @12:15. Enlighten me please !

This is amazingly wonderful, a pure pleasure to watch and listen to.❤

Man i am still in school deciding what to do... this helped a lot in learning the basic... very exited to learn more and more

[annie_rae]

Thank you for such a great overview of fundamentals of shaping space in a practical way !!

[ArchitectMouaed]

Thank you very much. I am following you from Iraq

[zahrasaeed]

taught me more then my architecture school

IMHO: Though you started on the right premise of young architecture students not understanding the differences between built mater and spaces, later on the spatial transformations you describe are merely visual forms, albeit to talk possibly about enclosed spaces within. Architecture and music are two fields which has this 'dance' between what is there, and what is not there. In music, the notes stand out on a bed of silence. In architecture, the built matter stands out within a bed of universal space. However, the way one conceptualizes the spaces in architecture is NOT the same way one conceptualizes the built matter around spaces. A music analogy is this: the notes are crafted by the composer in a different way than the beds of silences between the notes. The geometry of the modulated spaces between built matter is NOT because one consciously carved out volumes; the way one would have. If you come to India, you would find many temples and ancient structures where the geometry of spaces inside temples follow a completely different pattern than what is done to the built matter.

I am a 62 year old architect from India.

Loved this video. Any chance you could let me know what the piano music you used is called?
