Nice short video addressing the question What is Architecture?



Very neat presentation design, but the definition was not exactly correct. And the presenter had a stuttering problem.



To be honest with you guys, JPR stunned me with his clear, understandable, jargon-free presentation last year when I first saw the video.



Yeah, the presentation was alright but the buildings he presented were ugly as ****. A chair? Seriously?



However, can call me a parent who wants his child to live up to his potential, as I see so much in him, and his often unusual way of looking at things, and problem solving ability. And then, there in your links are stunning examples of what I felt had to be out there. Perhaps he already knows of these people and what they have done. (With him being 17 and me over 50, I have no clue what is actually in that head, ah the joys of parenthood, lol). If so, I’m sure to get a lecture after passing them on to him. But if they are new to him, I hope he sees my point. To me it was so neat to see traces of my son in Sinclair, Prince-Ramus and even Kunstler.

No offense, but it sounds like you’re just full of it. Wait til he becomes a starchitect if ever - THEN you can confirm that he’s something special.
