This capital city of Saxony with its rich history and beautiful architecture was bombed late in the war. The controversial bombing of Dresden resulted in the loss of most of its heritage and heavy damage to whatever remained intact. But over the last thirty years, Dresden has seen a true renaissance, and most of its former glory has been restored. Even more reconstruction efforts are underway, but not without its challenges! ========= 🎙️ Listen to our podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4cU3tcG... 💪🏽 Support this channel by becoming a patron: /the_aesthetic_city 𝕏 Follow us on X: /_aesthetic_city 🗣️ Join the community on Discord:/discord ============ 🙏 Special thanks to the following persons: - Torsten Kulke, GHND - Berndt Dietze, Baywobau GmbH. - Frank Wiesner - Bart Urban - Marleen Schutjens - Paul Hanssen - all our patrons! ℹ️ Info about the GHND: Website: https://www.neumarkt-dresden.de Contact & donating info (Scroll to ‘Spendenkonto’): https://www.neumarkt-dresden.de/kontakt-2/ ========== Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you click on them and make a purchase.

In this video, we explore the often-misunderstood concept of traditional architecture and urbanism, and its relevance in today's fast-paced society. Discover how tradition is not just about mimicking the past because of nostalgic feelings, but rather an adaptive process that incorporates local conditions and innovations for a harmonious end result. Can we still build like we used to, before the era of modernism? To find the answer, we'll delve into remarkable examples such as Cayalá, Poundbury, Brandevoort, Le Plessis Robinson, Heulebrug, and more. Join us on this architectural journey, and you might just find a renewed appreciation for tradition and its place in our modern world.

What happens if you totally transform a town? This suburb was dominated by modernist urbanism and was transformed by introducing traditional, mixed use urban fabric, beautiful architecture inspired by its local traditions, a lot of green and a more balanced housing supply. In this video you'll hear everything about Le Plessis-Robinson, a town in the suburbs of Paris, and how it was completely transformed - and I'll give 7 lessons of how this town did it. ---- Support this channel by becoming a patron: https://patreon.com/the_Aesthetic_city Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/_Aesthetic_City Follow us on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the.aesthetic.city --- Special Thanks ---- Special thanks to my patrons, you rock!

In this video, Robert Adam tells about his experiences at architecture college back in the early 70's. Have times changed since then? Yes, a bit. But architectural education is still mostly modernist and there are plenty of examples of students being bullied when they want to design something classical or traditional. Only at a select number of universities, most notably Notre Dame University is it currently possible to follow a fully traditional / classical curriculum. Prof. Adam's story is just one example of a clash between traditional minded students and modernist institutions, there are many, many more. It happens up to this day. Let us hope that more faculties will start to offer traditional and classical techniques to undergrad students at some point again - at least to offer them the choice to study it, instead of only offering it as part of a Master's course. ---- Support our work by becoming a patron: https://patreon.com/the_Aesthetic_city Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/_Aesthetic_City Follow us on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the.aesthet... ---- Music: Shimmer - Pensive U0DG7CEHUBB8P6MK

In this video, Marjo Uotila tells why the idea that contrast in architecture as a virtue on its own is leading to chaos and thus not good for cities. Often, contrast is prized or defended by architects, while most people don't appreciate it or even hate the contrast, that seems to tear beautiful urban fabric apart. ---- Support this channel by becoming a patron: https://patreon.com/the_Aesthetic_city Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/_Aesthetic_City Follow me on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the.aesthet... ---- Music: Wolgrim, by Cody Martin GEK65JOXOGTTZA3X

In this video, Marjo Uotila tells why the idea that one should 'not copy the past' is counterproductive, or even complete nonsense, for many reasons. Traditional and classical architecture can have a place in today's world, as they are based on solutions that have been time-proven. As a Dutch architect always says (Mieke Bosse): Tradition is nothing more than the sum of successful innovations. ---- Support this channel by becoming a patron: https://patreon.com/the_Aesthetic_city Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/_Aesthetic_City Follow me on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the.aesthet... ---- Music: Wolgrim, by Cody Martin 9TFRQVNK1GT8GMBN

In this video, Marjo Uotila busts the myth surrounding the construction of beautiful buildings, namely that it is too expensive. There is no clear evidence suggesting this is true. Building ugly buildings doesn't have to be cheap either. This means we can construct more beautiful buildings if we want to; it can be cost effective to do so. ---- Support this channel by becoming a patron: https://patreon.com/the_Aesthetic_city Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/_Aesthetic_City Follow me on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the.aesthetic.city/ ---- Music: Mission accomplished, by Moments SBSXXN9NEPAOX1CP
