Ep. 83 - Architecture, Making Statements and Beauty (with Jamie Smiley)

Here in this video I talk to Jamie Smiley an architect, about his early beginning in Montreal, Canada; getting into architecture school; his journey towards succeeding in architecture; his building design experience in South side of London; critical theory in architecture; how beauty gets impacted by economics of a building (costs); the importance of maintenance.

And then we segway into SHARE SCREEN presentation mode at about 40 minutes, where we critique and appreciate architecture by Robert Venturri, Wolf D. Prix, the horrible triangle building in Ljubljana, Vlado Milunić, Herzog & de meuron, Daniel Libeskind, Terry Farell, Stefano Boeri, Gianandrea Barreca, Giovanni La Varra, Peter Eisenmann, Vienna Secession building in Ljubljana, Zaha Hadid, Jože Plečnik, & a Der Scutt designed building.

We discuss how and why things are made and wonder about some of the building on our list in this entertaining exchange.
