That segway into the add was sooo smooth

1:50 this but unironically

I feel stupid having to explain it but an employee isn't and owner. You can't just go to a made-up thing and expect to take share in it. It's like coming to your home and expect you to give me a part of it.

Bring back statues !!!

I definitely agree with your points. Though personally I tend to like concrete brutalism (to an extent) and I think that this building at 5:07 looks quite neat.

That was one of the best add transitions ever 🤣

I do not get the slightest bit of enjoyment from looking at neoclassical architecture, with its fake-ass columns and rows of identical little arched windows. Buckingham, Versailles, the Winter palace, all those interchangeable blocks of marzipan, not a single one of them couldn't be improved with a gigantic Dubai-pilled glass dome or pyramid. Gothic revival, on the other hand, is perfect and I love it.

This video is one big cognitively dissonant contradiction, but I'm just a far right-wing conspiracy nut, so ignore whatever I say. Rocket money is the reason architecture is getting increasingly ugly and soulless. Thanks for your contribution, Adam Something. I hope your reward will be commensurate.

Nice video!

The modern buildings are much more practical generally: more accessible, better use of internal space. Making buildings that are practical, beautiful and affordable is the tricky part.

I am shocked how ugly this cyber truck is but also how every single one looks the same with the same stainless steel exterior. Why are there no color variations? Who wants a "truck" that isn't really a truck, but a glorified hatchback!? Adam Something exposes more krap about this piece of junk that really leaves me wondering what the hype is all about.

10:22 aha the WEF plan of the future. Nooo I prefer nuclear war and apocalypse

I realy love Art Deco. Because it strikes a good balance between more slick approach to design than classical architecture (even tho that it was inspired in part by ancient Egypt) and still including a good ammount of inspiring ornamentation. Art Deco also is very versatile. You can use it to create am awe inspiring, grand and dominating buildings that serve as a manifest of what a peak of human civilisational prowess looks like, inspiring the very spuls of people with sophisticated forms, but you can also build a very warm, cozy and invating home. This style isn't like it was made by a computer, it's human to it's core.

if you dont paint your car it will rust. simple.

Let me guess Adam Something secretly owns a Cybertruck.

Funny...the whole purpose of stainless steel is that it does not stain or rust! What an abomination. Follows the Musk over promise/under deliver and charge a fortune recipe to the letter.

There are ugly buildings, and there are UGLY building. I personally don’t think most of the buildings you mentioned are UGLY, just uninspired. One simple stumpy skyscraper is good, a couple of them is fine, but a bunch of them (especially if they’re almost exact copy of each other) is boring. The really divide is that old architectural styles were about putting lots of details and small ornaments. Due to labor cost and minimalist tendencies modern style streamlined that. But details doesn’t make something pretty, just look at McMansions, they’re richly decorated and very elaborated… but due to the lack of coherence and harmony most people don’t like them.

I live in a part of Helsinki which was designed in 50s/60s, that took alot of inspiration from Le Corbusier architecture. The only thing nice here is the nature/parks in that architecture style. Meanwhile the Buildings scream "Depression". This really wearing down in a country where its 6 moths dark and cold. And no this part of town cant be redeveloped, because its Architectual heritage.

Modern day is symbolized by architectural laziness, and even though I'm ready to disagree with Adam on many things, I can agree that modern architecture is damn ugly. The issue consists of lazy unimaginative architects, customers with no taste, regulations and AutoCAD. Old architecture, but also vehicles and other things used to be designed by real artists holding a pencil, drawing on an empty piece of paper, to be built by hand. To add to that, the customers tended to be often filthy rich and had massive demands for a nice design that will blow their neighbor out of the water. Many things also, weren't designed at all. People just kinda built them how they liked them, each to their taste. Modern things are designed in AutoCAD on a geometric grid which supports straight lines and smooth surfaces, optimized for machine production. Adding to that are budget cuts, corruption and tasteless customers who are easily fooled by nice talk. To make things worse, today you have to also make it through an army of office people to approve your building. Gone are the days when you just built something the way you liked it. Now you will be judged by people you don't know, who know nothing of good design or taste, who can deny whatever design they want for any reason. In the light of that it's easier to get approved something that has no design, rather than good design.

5:13 Holy strawman Batman! No architect in their right mind thinks the MI6 monstrosity is beautiful or even interesting. Most of them think it's awful, and funny enough it applies some of the principles you seem to advocate: gratuitous ornemental details and Art Deco pastiche...

The mission may be to keep human busy on go home go to work go home go to work. Not to enjoy the nature beauty?

I mean if "educated" "professionals" don't want to be labelled as stupid ivory tower circle jerks that are out of touch with the real world, perhaps they shouldn't act like it? Try to NOT prove everyone 100% right?

every time i hear someone say "the most stupidest thing i have ever seen" which, lets face it, on youtube is a regular occurance............i laugh to myself at the irony

I always say this to people that dislike modern architecture. Architecture in many ways is thé most honest art. If art is ugly, then what is it a reflection of? Either we're longing and nostalgic for times we didn't live in and we like to colour in with the rose tints in our imagination. Or perhaps our society has currently got its priorities so wrong that beauty and wellbeing aren't as important to whoever hires an architect, as money and utility. If we want architecture to change, we need to change. I actually like most modern architexture, including the examples of so-called "ugly" buildings. The again, I also like "ugly" music. I like being reminded and confronted by things that aren't the most pleasant, but do motivate me to not to give up on my unpopular beliefs. If our architecture was quote on quote beautiful without our effort to change our ways and care better for humanity and the planet, it'd be like we're lying to ourselves. Like a utopian propaganda billboard for visiting aliens: look at how developed we are! Our buildings full of happy people are beautiful! I believe humanity should be judged by how we treat the worst-off. And until we get our shit together we don't need to sugar-coat even more aspects of our lives. If we cared more for the environment, for the homeless, for the future, for the wellbeing of others, etc. etc. etc. - it would show. And I'm sick of the trash take that modern architecture is bad, when it is a perfect reflection of our own backwards priorities.

Man, you've got to come up with some new insults for the Dodge RAM F150 demographic. Those ones are very tired.

The building built for the School of Architecture of the University of São Paulo (biggest university in Brazil) is also horrible to look at and even worse to have classes in. Little to no windows, some classes cook under the midday sun with a glass ceiling, and a major death pit in the center of the building with no railings

Adam is cooking with the Krystal and Sagaar skit thats literally every episode.

7:50 I haven't expected to see a city I live in here, haha. Sadly Łódź is kinda bad city, with horrible, horrible public transportation and infrastructure repairs constantly going way over the schedule. There's a reason why its population slowly decreases over time, despite once being second or third biggest city in Poland.

I am 6:16 in, and still no answer. So here is my prediction : modern buildings are ugly because everything is made out of concrete and that making anything other than square things with concrete is expensive. Thus, the architects try to minecraft their way out of this constraint and end up actually building lego-style weird stuff.

The "again, we are in perfect agreement" gave me flashbacks 😂 fucking ideologs

Its like modern design has it all backwards Lets build smallscale autonomic neighborhoods instead of small autonimic transportation and largscale transportation instead of smallscale transport.

The HOMM3 music is a nice touch

Incidentally, the earth is flat, unmoving, and covered by a dome. There are no satellites in orbit around the earth. The wandering stars aka planets are lights. Technology that validates flat earth is ubiquitous and includes your smart phone. The fool and his money will soon part.

Watch the sales grinding to a halt when the first used CTrucks appear on the market.

Have you ever seen the “beauty” of the soviet architecture? 😃

ah yes the rich people car, the only ones who think theyre important enough to regularly get shot at and also have people who do their weird car cleaning and get groceries for them

glad you addressed the far right modern architecture beef because i saw the title of this video and felt a bit nervous while clicking like oh god this is gonna be a normal video right

i wouldn't trust a guy who sniffed andrew tate's chair over jerry rig

Door stuck 😂😂😂😂 great video as always 😂

Rip Brisbane

Just make every building solid concrete blocks with human sized windows and give everyone a set of spray paints. Lets just have buildings as massive canvases.

Congratulations your cyber truck now has a buthole 😂 take my sub good sir.

5:03 I mean it's the SIS headquarters what do you expect? Compared to Langley and Lubyanka it looks pretty swell.

Meanwhile, me watching this Architectural Uprising propaganda, sitting in my modern apartment buidling, listening to repetitive contemporary music and just loving it. What I mean by this is - people have different tastes and esthetics is not universal.

Made me think of the suicide spot shawarma tower in New York

Ah, Age of Empire Theme in Background <3

Me who likes brutalism 😢. Me who also lives in a 19th century colonial weatherboard home 😀. Me who understands recreating said home will only ever be simulacrum 😏. I'm also common and a layman.

I want one.

I know you've shit on it before for good reasons but I really like eco brutalist archeticure when done right. My late grandfather lived in a 8 story apartment block in Melbourne and it pulled it off really well. It had a number of shared courtyards with managed garden beds that intergrated with the guttering to capture and hold water the underlying building was basic concrete and steel with weather resistant cladding and brass fixtures around balconies, windows and openings that had a pleasant dark green pattina. The building was in a U shape with a major central courtyard mini park with a small lawn, slow growing hardy low light plants and one massive tree which the building was built around. It's hard to explain but it was decades old and aside from the elevators was/is low maintenance. I've seen and been to other similar buildings with sheltered but lush ponds with riparian plants, living walls that are low maintenance etc. It's an extremely easy thing to get carried away and create an engineering nightmare and a garish monstrosity but if kept in check and carefully planned it can work.

Before even watching the video, YES
