Happiness Chemicals and how to hack them

Buildofy

Buildofy.com is a platform that broadcasts projects videos by Indian architects. In videos, they try to dig in to the mind of an architect to bring out the design process, rather than just be obsessed with looking at still photographs.

”James Kunstler: How bad architecture wrecked cities.”

“TED Talks are supposed to revolve around inspiring minds, James Kunstler’s video title might seem a little negative on first impressions. But boy, is this particularly TED talk inspiring: Kunstler’s straight talking is combined with vicious wit to explain the fundamental problems with suburban sprawl in the United States. A case in point: “If you stand on the apron of the Walmart over here, and try to look at the Target Store over here, you can’t see it because of the curvature of the earth. That’s nature’s way of telling you you’re doing a poor job of defining space.”Beneath the hilarity of the presenter’s brilliant metaphors for our abject failure in planning cities for the last 50 years, there are glimmers of hope that maybe, just maybe, we can fix things.”

"I am an Architect"

"Where my red lines at?” The first line of YKKAP’s rap gives one a pretty accurate idea as to how cool the industry can seem when it comes to crossover careers in the music industry. While the tongue-in-cheek song will have the majority of architects cringing and sinking fast in their chairs, the valiant efforts of the American firm show that – contrary to popular belief – we can laugh at ourselves occasionally. Be ready for a barrage of clichés, along with special mentions for Frank Lloyd Wright, Mike Brady … and Ted Mosby, of course".
