This TEDTalk it very impressive. I always loved architecture, and Marc Kushner tells us a bit why some building have special shapes. And why the newer building usually are better looking then the 80-90's buildings.
Why the buildings of the future will be shaped by ... you
This presentation is very informative and inspiring. I just want to call an architect and build a new house.
But, I'll wait a couple of years for that...
Happy learning, and get inspired!

Engineering wonders of the past
Building for ages, building something that lasts, that has always fascinated me.
Now a days, almost everything is expendable, has a limited time usage. We even talk about programmed obsolescence in our products.
This TedTalk is about the opposite, and even better about the wonders of engineering of old times.
To create for the ages, let's combine art and engineering
I like the idea of counting the miracles needed to achieve a Wonder of the World (The Pantheon is not one of the 7 Wonders of the World).
Why don't we build buildings like that?
Ok, I live in the north and when I woke up this morning, the thermometer was showing -22 Celsius. I'm not sure that the Pantheon had a heating system.
Have a nice listening, and happy learning!
