Video of the Week – Future by Airbus
It has been a busy week here at the Architectural Centre website, but I couldn’t not post this one – so here is a little something for your Friday afternoon entertainment: Sweet!

Video of the Week XLII – Besti Flokkurinn
OK, so this one is doing the rounds at the moment, so pretty much old news, and it’s not really about architecture and design either – but just so funny, especially given that they are a ‘real’ party, who actually contested the recent Reykjavik City Council elections, and won 6 of the 15 seats.

Video of the Week XLI – Frank Gehry, you’re a genius!
We’ve probably all seen this by now, but if you haven’t, it is that classic Simpson’s episode… I can’t find a better online version, but here you go anyway (click on the image below to get to the video page…)

Video of the Week XL: Top 10 things you’ll never hear an architect say
From the “How to architect” series. The guy seems a little weird (well, quite a lot actually), but I thought this might be a nice bit of Friday afternoon edification… …not to be taken too seriously of course…

Video of the Week XXXIX: LIGHT*HOUSE
3XN, UN Studio and Jan Gehl (advisors) waterfront development – “a new urban quarter” – no, not here in Wellington, unfortunately(?), but in Aarhus, Denmark… . . What do you think…?

Video of the Week XIV: Free Avone
Here is a concept, as presented by Graffiti Research Lab, that I quite enjoy.

Thus, I guess it must be the ever so slight frisson…

Video of the Week XIII: algorithmic architecture
Design for a hotel in Wellington, New Zealand using algorithmic architecture generated in Max Script, from 2007 by VUW student Daniel Davis… I’ll leave the commentary up to you this time…

Video of the Week XII: Poundbury: Building Communities
Here is a companion piece to the Prince Charles post of a couple of weeks ago (I hope it is clear by now that my Zaha comments were made with tongue embedded firmly in cheek…). Here, for your viewing pleasure (or displeasure perhaps?), is a very short clip propounding the virtues of Poundbury: What do…

Video of the Week XI: Libidinal Gehry confronts asexual Eisner
I’d like to say the title says it all, but the mental image is just too disturbing – and there isn’t really a whole lot of confronting going on. What we are exposed to here (if I can use that expression to open a discussion of sexuality), is an excellent piece of post-design rationalization from…

Video of the Week XI: Architecture & energy 1
Amid all of the hooha surrounding our Supreme Court – symbols of power, propaganda, and hair loss – we should take time out to step back and really consider the dome issue in a more holistic way. You see, as this remarkable little film sets out, there really are supernatural consequences of building domes, which have no doubt been…
