Let's look back to 1983, a pivotal year in design and architecture. We'll discover the influence of the Memphis Group, the rebels of the design world, and how they reshaped the aesthetics of the '80s. From the iconic Thompson Center to the rebellious designs of the Memphis Group, we'll uncover the essence of the decade's design ethos. Plus, get an exclusive look at a renovated house that perfectly encapsulates the '80s spirit. Featuring insights from Jonathan Solomon, Meg Gustafson, and a deep dive into the world of 80s-deco.

![The Free Plans of Le Corbusiers Architecture [Villa Savoye]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JBRmGUbUj3Y/mqdefault.jpg "The Free Plans of Le Corbusiers Architecture [Villa Savoye]
In this video, we take a close look at the Free Plans of Le Corbusiers architectural design strategies. As part of his Five Points of architecture, we examine how the columns and walls work together in this particular type of open concept. Le Corbusiers buildings like the Villa Savoye help to illustrate these concepts as we compare them to the Organic Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Specifically, the ribbon window is compared to the corner window of Wright and Le Corbusiers Promenade Architectural to the diagonal movement of organic architecture.

![The Unexpected Views of the LOST Slow House [Diller+Scofidio]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MfhGVDlzSCE/mqdefault.jpg "The Unexpected Views of the LOST Slow House [Diller+Scofidio]
Welcome to the Slow House, Diller and Scofidio’s (now Diller, Scofidio and Renfro) first building commission for Long Island, in NY. The crescent-shaped slug doppelganger was a pivotal design for the firm — and architecture at large — when it was first revealed in 1990. However, the building was never built, living only through its extensive catalog of models and drawings. In this video, the Slow House is digitally reconstructed, analyzed and explored to discover unique elements lurking in its design that can only be revealed through a first-person experience. From delayed million-dollar views, to CCTV feeds of the water, to dozens of operable plywood doors and shades, the house is truly a machine for viewing. And now, you can view it for yourself.
**Clarification** Theres a moment toward the beginning that sounds like Im saying the predictions are pathetic but Im actually saying prophetic, meaning accurately predicting the future. Its almost the opposite....

![The Only 5 Ways to Organize a Building [Form, Space, and Order]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NPP9okr65yQ/mqdefault.jpg "The Only 5 Ways to Organize a Building [Form, Space, and Order]
This episode of Architecture with Stewart explores the only five ways of organizing the plan of a building, at least they are the only ones according to Francis Ching as listed in the canonical text Form, Space, and Order. Each of the five: central, linear, radial, clustered, and grid, offer unique benefits and opportunities to architects, clients, or visitors. Some of the strategies are reserved for formal ceremonial buildings, while others are better for providing less rigid and more organic exploration by occupants. Some yield complete and autonomous forms while others can shrink or grow at ease. However, every single building is, in some way, a combination of these five basic strategies. Using paper cutout shapes, plastic human figures, and representative examples from history and recent constructions, Stewart demonstrates the value and possibilities of each organizational strategy.
