    I appreciate the effort put into covering various architectural styles throughout history. However, I feel that the architecture of the 1900s and onward may not have been represented with full fairness. While I agree with some of the critiques presented, it seems like the period was reduced to its worst examples, especially when discussing contemporary architecture. There are far more styles and nuances at play than just the two mentioned. Given the scale and diversity of buildings being constructed today, this era is arguably one of the most expansive periods in architectural history. I understand there was limited time, but while other styles were given several slides, this broad and evolving period was only briefly showcased. A more in-depth look could really highlight the richness and diversity of modern and contemporary architecture. It’s fair to critique and showcase the shortcomings in modern architecture, but it’s important to remember that not all contemporary buildings are either soulless or composed of baseless forms. There is a wealth of thoughtful, innovative, and meaningful design happening today that deserves recognition. By highlighting only the negatives, we risk overlooking the creativity, context-driven design, and evolving styles that define much of today’s architecture.

    It's telling that all the people who fetishize "classical" architecture usually don't show much in the way of typical building of the 19th and 18th century. I don't think I've ever seen somebody talk about how "beautiful" old buildings are, while showing photos of two-up two-down terraced housing in Manchester or London. They never mention the lack of indoor plumbing, the abysmal heating, ventilation, etc. People who fetishize old buildings look at exemplary examples from the past, but only look at the worst examples from modern building, and they usually have a very shallow and pretentious understanding of what they're looking at. Your video basically falls into the same old trap. It's just not a serious argument.

    I live in Leipzig and most newly-built apartment blocks are typically grey. They all look like prisons and institutes compared to their classically-designed neighbours and yet people will pay exorbitant amounts to live in these drab and bland monstrosities (ooh ... modern amenities!). Anyone who would tell you they find these structures attractive is lying. My counter: by that rationale, you must prefer visiting Mannheim (industrial) to Heidelberg (beautiful)? Cognitive dissonances turns too many people into blabbering apologists for the crass legacy of Bauhaus and that defacer of the good, Le Corbusier. Much of the 20th century was a time or rampant artistic egos in both the arts and architecture. And they are still building soulless boxes. Awful... You are preaching to the choir with this video.

    Hello, Professor! I have posted this comment under another one of your videos a couple of weeks ago, but I'm guessing it might have gotten lost in your notifications inbox, so I am leaving it under this video as well. I'm returning to this video (originally th-cam.com/video/JHClCthMK-g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lp1G5jQ2b7PFDrte ) with a few questions that came to mind after letting the information settle and discussing the topic of architecture with a couple of friends. I'm very curious to know if you can explain why, in Gothic cathedrals specifically, we see the walls becoming thinner and gaining support from the outside. I understand the purpose of these supports is to hold up the walls and add to the structural integrity of the building, but what was the reason for making the walls thinner? Was it perhaps to save on materials, which allowed the cathedrals to become significantly larger and more intricate in their fine details? Additionally, I'm very curious if you can explain the difference between Art Nouveau and the Secessionist Style. I've noticed several differences myself, such as Art Nouveau having a much smoother "flow," so to speak, in the overall shape of structures built with that design, as well as being adorned with more organic ornaments, such as an abundance of flowers, leaves, and sculptures of faces integrated into columns, walls, and architraves. In contrast, the Secessionist Style, especially the one often seen in Hungary and the western part of Romania, seems far bulkier, more geometric, and more sparing with ornamentation on the facades. I believe both styles aimed to create something new and to break away from traditional proportions and the classical orders for columns. While they have stark differences, they also share certain common points. I wonder if you could expand more on the differences and similarities between these two styles. I often find myself guessing whether a building is in one style or the other, only to later realize I was mistaken after looking it up online. One last question: Is the reason the Romanesque style is often seen as a "failed" attempt to emulate the classical Roman style due to the setbacks caused by the Dark Ages, resulting in the loss of knowledge required to build in that particular style? I hope these aren't too many questions at once or that they're overwhelming to take in and respond to. Please take your time answering if you see this and intend to! Thank you so much in advance.

    Great video - I especially agree that modern architecture is awful, soul crushing and drab. It really points out how great and beautiful the architecture in the past was. I have a question/request - I'm curious how all of those amazing buildings were built specifically in the Americas. The history seems to point out that all of these brand new settlements in the late 1800s were able to build massive, beautiful buildings in roughly a year's timespan. I imagine one of two things could have made this possible: The records are incomplete - and only mention the completion date - these works of art would take years or decades to produce from skilled craftsmen - or there was a huge industry in the Early Americas that allowed for rapid installation of these great works of art. What happened to those industries? Where did the massive stone / cast iron / statue-carving industries go? A lot of these towns say that they had a population of less than 15,000 at the time the buildings were completed, and they list completion in a year. Do we have any better records of actual construction? Thanks for your video and your time!

    I'm an architect, and I think we should carefully study why classical buildings were pleasing for human beings. We can and should use the scale, proportions, rhythm, massing, and the spacing of the classical style for buildings of public importance since the ideas behind these systems of design were human based and intrinsically known to be pleasing for humans. We should use an architectural system or systems that already works (have been tested and proven to be effective), without getting into all the nitty gritty of the details.

    Wonderful video. Thank you. Sorry if it was mentioned in the video and I missed it, but did you talk about neoclassicism or was it omitted? How come it didn’t have a separate category? Is there nothing much to talk about?

      I talk about the classicism after baroque / roccoco

    Hello professor, thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us! I'm a 21 year old student in psychology, but all forms of art have always piqued my interested, and recently I've taken a very big liking to better understanding architecture, its styles, the motifs, how different styles emerged and so on and so forth. I am now watching your courses in which you go in depth in explaining them, such as the Classical architecture course, the Greek course and the 50 minute long one in which you briefly cover all the main styles. Your manner of explaining things is very nice, easy to understand, and I am very happy to be learning about these things. Sending lots of love and appreciation from Romania!

    This is definitely an underrated channel. Modernism is an ideology and a way of thinking and of life, just beyond some certain forms of deconstruction in architecture. If you really think in a modernism way you'll see how justified it is to unite classical beauty and order with modern designs. Also, the durability of classic buildings is so ignored in many ways. BTW I love your design! It reminds me of some architecture works in China( "Capital Theatre Beijing" for example). Please share more of your ideas!

    could you also comment on their floor plans and sections so we can better understand their functionality? as an aspiring new modern architect i often think our hardest challenge isn't necessarily applying the classical orders and principals to the façades, but rather making the interiors and modern construction techniques work within the classical language

    • @SebastianvonThaden
      @SebastianvonThaden 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I might show some floor plans in future videos!

    Thank you for sharing these. Wonderful! How about colors, since now we understand how colorful Classical art and architecture were? An architect I know did his house with Roman style features. The main room had great columns and a high coffered ceiling. I especially remember how he painted the florets in each vault with many colors, and all parts of the house interior had distinctive colors, perhaps far subtler than the Romans would have done.

      For interior I am also a fan of colours. Do you remember the name of the architect ?

    Was er hinterlassen hat, sind katastrophale städtebauliche Ideen, sind Gebäude, die zu großen Teilen nicht bewohnbar waren, weil er die Menschen zwingen wollte sich seinen Ideen unterzuordnen. Er war Faschist im Herzen und im Handeln. Er hat Gebäude entwickelt, nur um sich abzuheben von anderen Architekten und zu zelebrieren, was technisch möglich war. Das ganze hat er mit Schriften untermauert, die keiner kritischen Betrachtung standhalten. Ein Architekt mit Allmachtsphantasien, ein begnadeter Selbstdarsteller und cleverer Selbstvermarkter. Die Folgen seiner Visionen machen einen Großteil der gebauten Dystopie aus in der wir heute leben. Corbusier war kein guter Architekt.

    I think the "weird" and "crazy" buildings still add something to cities, other than the always same bleak, grey boxes. See websites like "Ugly Belgian Houses" or Turit Fröbe's "teardown calendars" for architectural sins. These buildings may be ugly and misfits, but they offer something for the eye, instead of just being eyesores. There just shouldn't be too much of these. For an ordinary family home, tenement or office building, it is mostly better to fit in.

    Wow!! you are using Archicad! I recently made a project with an eclectic facade (that was my contract ). The Archicad isn't a popular BIM software in EEUU. Congratulations on the video!! The proportion is a very important subject in architecture!
