TEDTalk Tuesday: Architectural Inspiration

[Occulus]

For this week's TEDTALKTUESDAY, we hear from the former editor of Architecture magazine and dean of Architecture at Tulane University. In this video, today's speaker gives us a look at what inspires us- or should inspire us- about modern architecture, including the proposed design for a rebuilt World Trade Center, which he describes as a "bunch of buildings falling into a hole".

Enjoy!

About this talk

Reed Kroloff gives us a new lens for judging new architecture: is it modern, or is it romantic? Look for glorious images from two leading practices -- and a blistering critique of the 9/11 planning process.
