Where's your brother?Alex:I sent him away. He wasn't feeling well. You know how he is, he worries.Simon Wyler:Yeah, I know. He gets that from your mother, I'm afraid. She always worried too much.Alex:What are you looking at?Simon Wyler:Hmm? Oh, yeah, here, take a gander. It's a proposal for a museum.Alex:Who is it?Simon Wyler:Someone new.Alex:Oh, I like the walkways, where the light falls. What are the materials?Simon Wyler:Granite. Aluminum.Alex:White panels are straight out of Meier... but the interior color coming through the front windows, that's different. It's not new, but it's clean, uncluttered. I like it.Simon Wyler:When was the last time you were in Barcelona?Alex:Years ago, with you, Mom and Henry.Simon Wyler:Do you remember visiting Casa de la Caritat?Alex:The almshouse.Simon Wyler:That's right. You mentioned Meier. His Barcelona museum stands in the same area as Casa de la Caritat. It drinks the same light. Meier designed a series of louvered skylights to capture that light and cast it inward to illuminate the art within, but indirectly. And, that was important, because although light enhances art, it can also degrade it. But, you know all that already, you son of a gun. Now, this... where do you suppose this is to be built?Alex:I have no idea.Simon Wyler:Oh, but you said you liked it.Alex:Conceptually.Simon Wyler:Now, come on. You know as well as I do that the light in Barcelona is quite different from the light in Tokyo. And, the light in Tokyo is different from that in Prague. A truly great structure, one that is meant to stand the tests of time never disregards its environment. A serious architect takes that into account. He knows that if he wants presence, he must consult with nature. He must be captivated by the light. Always the light. Always

He gets that from your mother I'm afraid
00:00:10.091 --> 00:00:13.244
She always worried too much
00:00:13.246 --> 00:00:14.679
What are you looking at
00:00:14.681 --> 00:00:15.068
Hm
00:00:15.682 --> 00:00:17.682
Oh yeah here take a gander
00:00:17.684 --> 00:00:20.884
It's a proposal for a museum
00:00:20.886 --> 00:00:22.042
Who is it
00:00:22.422 --> 00:00:25.356
Oh someone new
00:00:25.358 --> 00:00:28.859
Oh I like the walkways where the light falls
00:00:28.861 --> 00:00:30.628
What are the materials
00:00:30.063 --> 00:00:33.001
Granite Aluminum
00:00:33.997 --> 00:00:35.006
White panels are straight out of Meier
00:00:35.602 --> 00:00:38.998
but the interior color coming through the front windows
00:00:38.007 --> 00:00:40.938
that's different
00:00:40.094 --> 00:00:44.508
It's not new but it's clean uncluttered
00:00:44.051 --> 00:00:46.377
I like it
00:00:46.379 --> 00:00:49.847
When was the last time you were in Barcelona
00:00:51.617 --> 00:00:54.285
Years ago with you Mom and Henry
00:00:54.287 --> 00:00:57.003
Do you remember visiting Casa de la Caritat
00:00:58.999 --> 00:00:59.923
The almshouse Mm hm
00:00:59.925 --> 00:01:02.593
That's right You mentioned Meier
00:01:02.595 --> 00:01:05.429
His Barcelona museum stands in the same area
00:01:05.431 --> 00:01:07.999
as Casa de la Caritat
00:01:07.007 --> 00:01:09.001
It drinks the same light
00:01:09.902 --> 00:01:13.571
Meier designed a series of louvered skylights
00:01:13.999 --> 00:01:15.997
to capture that light
00:01:15.006 --> 00:01:18.142
and cast it inward to illuminate the art within
00:01:18.001 --> 00:01:20.006
but indirectly
00:01:20.002 --> 00:01:21.279
And that was important
00:01:21.001 --> 00:01:24.848
because although light enhances art
00:01:24.999 --> 00:01:26.584
it can also degrade it
00:01:26.586 --> 00:01:29.999
But you know all that already you son of a
00:01:30.999 --> 00:01:31.355
Now this
00:01:34.997 --> 00:01:36.226
where do you suppose this is to be built
00:01:36.999 --> 00:01:37.461
I have no idea
00:01:37.999 --> 00:01:38.001
Oh but you said you liked it
00:01:38.798 --> 00:01:40.002
Conceptually
00:01:40.998 --> 00:01:42.566
Now come on
00:01:42.568 --> 00:01:45.001
You know as well as I do that the light in Barcelona
00:01:45.271 --> 00:01:47.971
is quite different from the light in Tokyo
00:01:47.973 --> 00:01:51.001
And the light in Tokyo is different from that in Prague
00:01:51.277 --> 00:01:53.511
A truly great structure
00:01:53.001 --> 00:01:57.999
one that is meant to stand the tests of time
00:01:57.483 --> 00:02:00.184
never disregards its environment
00:02:00.001 --> 00:02:02.001
A serious architect takes that into account
00:02:02.188 --> 00:02:04.154
He knows that if he wants presence
00:02:04.001 --> 00:02:07.124
he must consult with nature
00:02:07.126 --> 00:02:09.999
He must be captivated
00:02:09.495 --> 00:02:11.001
by the light
00:02:11.999 --> 00:02:15.013
Always the light Always
