1. Dude's high on lead-based paint
2. 09:40 "You have to build in order to test the theory" what does he mean by the theory? What is the theory?
3. The multiple ambiguities and possibilities of language that Acconci discusses at the beginning sound not to different to Deconstructivism as its original literary theory, no?
4. fug.. I could only watch like three minutes of it.. nice art but very misleading video
5. well this has fuck all to do with it's title, thanks vice
6. He may not be an "architect", but he's way more interesting and creative than architects. Architects are so deluded; their heads are stuck up far inside their asses. They are boring as fuck, and are really not creative. They suck at drawing, they can't read engineering drawings, and they have little understanding of mechanics. Most of the world is populated with uncomfortable, energy-guzzling, hideous buildings designed by architects and people in the building industry. To deflect attention from their shoddy work, architects like to blame local authorities and city planners. How many "great" buildings have been built in the last 500 years? The architecture profession needs to pull its socks up, because other designers in the communications, industrial and fashion fields are way ahead of architects...
7. What an interesting fellow.
8. I hate this voice
9. As he said, he did not aim to appeal to everyone, but to those who want a second chance to experience the interplay between space, time and form.
10. Great video, well done VICE!
11. I don't really get what this comment section is going off about, he's an art-architect, designing ideas for concept buildings and art installations. They are judged primary of the visual quality. The entire architectural field is dependent on people like him pushing the designs further, so that the more "normal" architects can create something other than flat concrete rectangles.
12. They dream and I don't treat it as architecture, its large scale art. Anyone can do that if they have an artistic ability. They don't deserve to be called architects, and that is not supposed to be a good thing. Its the study of space, environment, mathematics, and of course, design. They are doing... "oh this looks really cool! lets build it!".
13. I was genuinely interested but I'm really high, this didn't have ANYTHING to do with architecture though.
14. 7:00
15. Well I hope the future of architecture is not this
16. what if you learn architecture and do your job instead of putting it to do it to your "students"?
17. 21.06 minutes wasted on a wanker! What a fucking douche bag..... I'm amazed that this moron have a job.Could you imagine a house design by this moron? it would be like a rat nest.
