If you're hunting something architectural to watch from lockdown, an anonymous hero uploaded almost every Jonathan Meades documentary here: https://vimeo.com/meadesshrine  - I wrote about Meades during my MA, so I might share some choice transcribed quotes and screenshots below

In 'Remember the Future' (1997), Meades examines the architecture of 60s Big Tech: he uses a TONIBENNOMETER to measure different buildings for their white-hot-heat of technology score - Emley Moor scores a perfect 10

‘I remember the future, it died a generation ago. Faith in human ingenuity and the solutions proffered by successive technologies. Other ages had human sacrifice, the sun, reason, chicken blood. Britain in the third quarter of the twentieth century had bigness and newness.'

Excoriating Poundbury w/ a fake Delorean 'Compare this might with the retro-puniness which is today’s future. This is today’s future, decreed by the future king... We’re invited to advance, timorously into the past, my only response is to conchie out, to retreat into the future.'

On the Gothic Revival: 'It is manifestly pre-enlightenment. It conjures up the dark ages. It is fearsome, often crazed, often suggestive of architectural psychosis. It compliments and heightens the mysteries, the terror, and the morbidity of the passion'

‘At any given period, 1% of architects are goats, and 99% are sheep. The majority merely follows fashion, irrespective of what the fashion is supposed to represent. The same goes for passions in ideologies, political thought, religious conviction, and of course, clothes'

‘Let’s watch some regeneration remedy creatives at work. They brainstorm, like they’re fire bombing Dresden. They go into deep-spine-submersion. Then they announce that the site-byte will contain a museum and gallery, a catalyst for economic growth and social progress. Why?...

..Silly question. Because culture is good. Not old style culture, which was not inclusive, therefore elitist, therefore they were bad. But the new, accessibly accessible fun-style fun arts. They beacon integrated modernising, lighthouse revitalisation for everyone' - Bilbao regen

'The adulation of prettiness and championship of the picturesque add up to an aesthetic tyranny in which we’re complicit. The dreary and the ugly are not unworthy of contemplation, they’re not to be viewed with contempt. The child is immune to this and creates his own pantheon.'

'Now that tall buildings have returned, they embrace the possibility of being dangerous playgrounds as well as offices. They pander to vertiphilia by making it a sensory service feature, along with air conditioning, toilets etc.' - on 80s tall buildings in London

'Delight, hallucinatory clarity, vertiginous delirium. When no longer a child, I encountered Gustave Flaubert’s dictum, it might as well have been Andy Warhol’s, that if you stare at anything for long enough then it becomes fantastical, I thought of the spire'-Salisbury Cathedral

On CoE and Catholic modernism: 'The language of sanctity was a disparate Esperanto. Pastiche and figuration were dirty words in the 60s. Where once everything had had to look like something else, now everything had to look like itself. Shape was the sole agent of representation.’
