Okay.
2
Today we're going to talk about Frank Gehry.
3
One of my favorite architects.
4
If you've seen any of the buildings he's designed, like the dancing house in Prague, You'll know why.
5
It's a wonderful, colorful building near the river.
6
Many tourists go to see it.
7
But today, We'll consider Frank Gehry's work not as tourists, but as architects.
8
- Thank you.
9
It's understood that Architecture is both the science and the art of designing buildings.
10
We use science to make sure that the building is strong.
11
And we use R because We want the building to be beautiful.
12
- Thank you.
13
In other words, we think about the aesthetics or artistic value of the building.
14
Now here I want to mention Vitruvius.
15
the Roman architect who lived in the first century BCE.
16
He said that a building must have three fundamental characteristics.
17
One.
18
meet its intended use.
19
Two.
20
be sound, which means strong, And three, Be beautiful.
21
He wrote these ideas 2000 years ago.
22
and they're still the foundation of architecture today.
23
Let's go over these three characteristics in depth.
24
First, A building must meet its intended use.
25
Architects would think about the reason the building is being built as they design it.
26
For example, the intended use for a school is a place to learn, right?
27
Here, architects must ask themselves, What type of design is best for both students and teachers?
28
Second, a building must be structurally sound.
29
What do I mean by this?
30
I mean the design must follow these basic principles: Is it safe?
31
Will it last a long time?
32
Will it protect people from bad weather?
33
Architects agree that a building must be able to do all of these things.
34
Third, a building must Be beautiful.
35
Aesthetics is a harder principle to agree on.
36
And buildings last a long time if they're built properly.
37
And so something built 50 years ago may not be considered beautiful now.
38
styles in architecture change, like with clothes or cars.
39
All right, to highlight what I've said thus far, In addition to meeting the intended use,
40
A building's design must also be structurally sound.
41
and aesthetically pleasing to people.
42
Is everyone clear on this?
43
Now I'd like to shift to talking about Frank Gehry's work, and how he applied these three characteristics of architecture.
44
Have any of you seen his buildings?
45
The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles or The fish dance restaurant in Kobe, Japan.
46
It looks like a gigantic fish.
47
I see a few hands, great.
48
Then you'll know what I mean when I say his style is very distinct.
49
He was an architectural pioneer.
50
who wasn't afraid to try new ideas.
51
His designs are exciting and inspirational because they push us to explore the possibilities.
52
Specifically, how can we describe his style?
53
I can think of three words.
54
Resourceful.
55
Playful. and innovative.
56
it's resourceful because of the building materials It's playful because of the bright colors and fun designs.
57
like his store in Venice, California, with giant binoculars at the entrance.
58
Thank you.
59
And it's innovative because he said Goodbye to traditional architecture.
60
and experimented with new ideas.
61
Now let's look at these three descriptions one at a time.
62
resourceful In the 1970s, Gary started utilizing simple building materials in his designs, like sheet metal and plywood.
63
In fact, he's famous for using chain -link fence.
64
the kind of fence you see around construction sites to keep people out.
65
I'm sure you've all seen it around a building being built.
66
since he knew the fencing would always be there.
67
He decided to use it in his designs.
68
For example, he designed a mall in California with a huge wall six stories high.
69
covered in chain link fence.
70
He went on to use other materials, of course, but started there.
71
Thank you.
72
Playful.
73
His designs use bright, bold colors like yellow, orange, blue, and gold.
74
Examples include the EMP Museum in Seattle and the DG Bank building in Germany.
75
And finally, innovative.
76
Many of his buildings don't have straight walls.
77
He uses irregular angles and shapes.
78
A great example of this is the Wittre Design Museum in Germany.
79
That's V.
80
I -T -R -A.
81
- I think that's a good question.
82
The building looks like it could fall down, to be honest.
83
But of course it won't.
84
because Gary designed it to be structurally sound.
85
So how did Geary develop his dynamic style?
86
Up until the early 1970s he did traditional architecture.
87
Thank you.
88
However, he didn't feel it allowed him to be creative enough.
89
He began experimenting with his design ideas by working on houses.
90
including his own house in Santa Monica, California, which he worked on from 1977 to 1978.
91
Many neighbors didn't like the design of his house, but But Gary did.
92
Now we ask why did he develop this distinct style?
93
He once said that He thinks like an artist.
94
For him, a building is like a big sculpture.
95
or a big work of art.
96
he pushes the limits of what is structurally possible from an engineering standpoint in order to create beautiful buildings.
97
But I want to stress, he's also said that he always keeps in mind that a building is a sculpture that people interact with.
98
if the building doesn't please them as a work of art and meet the intended use.
99
He's failed in his objective.
100
In closing, I want to say that Frank Gehry is a noteworthy architect
101
because his work challenges me and other architects to consider how to use simple materials while designing strong, Beautiful.
102
and purposeful structures.
103
Now go build something.

Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm | being built · may not be considered |
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại | you've seen · I've said |
Phát âm cần chú ý
Người nói dùng 17 dạng rút gọn, ví dụ didn't, they're, you'll. Hãy nói theo dạng ngắn đúng như bạn nghe.
- Âm “th”: aesthetics /ɛsˈθɛt.ɪks/, noteworthy /ˈnəʊtˌwɜːði/, cloth /klɒθ/
- Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: characteristic /ˌkæɹ(ə)ktəˈɹɪstɪk/, binoculars /(ˌ)baɪˈnɑ.kjə.lɚz/, irregular /ɪˈɹɛɡ.jə.lɚ/, inspirational /ˌɪnspəˈɹeɪʃənəl/, architectural /ˌɑɹkɪˈtɛkt͡ʃəɹəl/

- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: sculpture /ˈskʌlpt͡ʃɚ/, gigantic /d͡ʒaɪˈɡæntɪk/, architectural /ˌɑɹkɪˈtɛkt͡ʃəɹəl/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: characteristic /ˌkæɹ(ə)ktəˈɹɪstɪk/, gigantic /d͡ʒaɪˈɡæntɪk/, standpoint /ˈstændpɔɪnt/, interact /ɪn.təˈɹækt/

- Ghi âm giọng mình rồi so với bản gốc, chú ý các từ như architect, intend, characteristic.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
