This sums up quite nicely why I decided to go into architecture school and why I love architecture so much. The thrill of being able to discover and perhaps understand the workings behind the screen is amazing, and to then turn around and be able to *design* all that behind stuff is even cooler. Being able to be that magician, to create the beautiful space and to simultaneously know all the bits and pieces that make it work, to find a way for all those disparate parts to come together and work and function in such a cohesive beauty is fantastic. But, I agree with you, too often we seem absolutely concerned with hiding all that away. The magic of the surface is exquisite, but as someone who now understands all that goes into it, I think having that additional knowledge of layers makes the actual exterior that much more amazing. By seeing the back stage, the theater itself is made that much more powerful. Why don't we celebrate those things behind? Why don't we let them peek through the surface, allow the people to peel back the facade for just a moment, and catch a glimpse of all that goes on underneath? Wouldn't that make the wonder that much more palpable? \n\nI love a beautiful facade as much as the next guy. But it's the things behind that screen, the layers and depth, that really give it meaning.\n\nThanks for another great video guys. You never cease to help me marvel at the world.
