@ pierobcn

i dont agree with what you say, rem koolhaas is one of the contemporary architects that actually try to make cities more human, trying to find that human scale in its buildings... trying to bring architecture in a more human context, he uses the modern concepts into his designs.

You can see this by simply looking at the OMA buildings made all over, they arent as crazy as gehry or hadid...

i think your hostility may be pointed at hadid really....

he is the Le Corbusier of the new century. His ideas are actually related with the world you live in, and the world you'll live in. Le Corbusier also was a media architect so what? You're judging Remment without fully knowing what he is doing and what he proposes with every project. Plus... He shows how important architecture is in the life of everyone.... if he is too conceptual for you, well thats your problem.

Go and read about him, and try to understand him, before saying he is garbage.

@odinmp5 Haha he is more egotistical than most people I know. Daniel Bonilla is not that bad, he worked with my father in a couple of things. I think you might be talking about Daniel Bermudez. He really reallu is a pain in the ass. Great Architect, but a complicated person to talk to. And yes, the Campuzano brothers are good. One of them was my teacher last year, very smart people, both of them.

And thanks! I'll upload some more videos soon. I've been lazy haha.

@Amputecht1 sorry bro..

question: ¡ is it tue that he is as self centered as daniel bonilla==?? and that workig wiht him can ruin your mental health? i love his aproach to interior design, but exteriors in his work are not my cup of tea,.?

have you checked the campuzano brothers?? they are too young, but very good.

one more thing.. nice bass playing, you rock!

@odinmp5 The longing for fame is precisely why I critizise Mazzanti. I know him personally. And I am an architect, I know what you talk about. First hand. You understood the exact opposite.

[odinmp5]

@TheVerack he is not. he is good, but both le corbu and koolhaas , have different aproaches and ideas.

koolhaas has the admiration of every single architecture student in the world. while le corbusier, had not during his lifetime. thats changes perspectives.

@Amputecht1 i ahve heard similar comments,, but to make the long story short, i am deeply disturbed about how people treat an architect based only on books published or quantity of fans.

[odinmp5]

@Amputecht1 i compare them based on the things non architects apreciate.

is the building useful? does it have an impact on the life of people?? not just because it is big or famous.

[Amputecht1]

@odinmp5 Don't mind me wrong, I, as an architect, and as a Colombian (Giancarlo Mazzanti is too), have made individual and collective mental gymnastics to get deep into both architects minds. Mazzanti is very good, no doubt about that, but he still needs to find his true self. I know him personally, and my readout about him is that his ego is pulling him away from the Koolhaas he can be.

[Amputecht1]

@odinmp5 I can't believe you are comparing Mazzanti with Koolhaas. Even if Mazzanti is a very good architect, he would be crushed by RK. Mazzanti falls a bit short on many levels, his compositions are a bit baroque for my taste. Everything lies on the facades, the outside, the theatre... Rem defies this baroque contemporary times by being aesthetically different BUT with different basic tenets as well. Giancarlo takes a greek temple (in a synthesised point of view) and puts a fancy cover on top.

@trickykid3000

since when was the visual affect was the foremost importance of architecture? If you value aesthetics so much then you should just stick with sculpture. Architecture, unlike sculpture, carries functions. Rem Koolhaas might be taking jobs away from good architects, but definitely not yours since you shouldn't even fit yourself as an "architect" since you don't even know what architecture even is.
