Lovely

That’s cool sir

GCSE eduqas language paper 1 tmrw, last min looks at this, very helpful thanks

It has dawned on me that the movements in architecture parallel the same movements in art. Gothic followed by Classical Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Mannerist, Neo-Classical, Romantic, etc.

Most interesting thank you!

Really appreciate your clear and informative content, especially the abundant examples!

Although you prepared these videos for GCSE youngsters, you should know that they are also greatly appreciated by very much older people learning Latin. Thank you.

👌

I was hoping to see some greek and Roman architecture but didn't see any! Everything that was shown was Macedonian architecture! When the Romans wrote about the mind blowing amount of wealth that they took out of Macedonia, some people missed the part about the Macedonian architecture that was taken apart and transported back to Rome! Let alone all the art and precious metals and books! It doesn't require to much brain power to see that the ancient ruins in Greece had been laying around in ruins since they were destroyed! Which dates back to when the Macedonians abandoned their city of Hella due to the eruption of the Santorini island volcano around 1500bce to the new location of Pella further east! In other words what is Greece today was all Macedonia! The Greeks were called Grejci pronounced Greitsi meaning foreigners which is why King Philip II went and conquered them! They are still called that by the Macedonians of today! The Romans adopted the word from the Macedonians when they invaded Macedonia which is where the word Grecians came from! Including the identity of Greco Romans after they completed their Roman slavery contract and became citizens of Rome! Note that no other race that became a Roman citizen was given a special title! The Greeks (foreigners) were different to everyone else! They were much darker! Their Sub Saharan Ethiopian heritage stood out! Nothing that has been taught to be greek is actually greek! The history just doesn't make sense! What? They built these architecturally significant buildings and somehow forgot what they were for? So they didn't bother to rebuild them until they realised that they are generating tourism dollars? You can look at anywhere else around the world! The only ancient ruins that were not rebuilt and made into tourist attractions are the ones that are owned by a race of people who didn't build them! Didn't know what they are for! Exactly what you are looking at in Greece! The columns were used throughout the ancient Macedonian cities which were taken down and taken to Rome! It's quite possible that columns already existed throughout Italy! The similarity between the Etruscans and the Macedonians and the Carthaginians is uncanny! Extremely possible that they were all the same people! And they all were using columns in their architecture....

thank you sir, i do not usually write comments but this is great content

INCREDIBLE! THANK YOU SO MUCH

Amazing video! I live in Park Slope in New York City, a 19th-century neighborhood which is chock full of neo-gothic architecture, mostly english neo-gothic. This video really helped me solidify my understanding of where different elements on these buildings come from-even if not originally 15th c. it's nice to know that the window I'm looking at *references* a 15th c. style. I also went to college at Princeton university, one of the best places to see collegiate gothic architecture, which is also specifically english, and often tudor. Just wanted to let you know that your video helps us across the pond as well!

Brilliant!

2023 and I loved this video. Greetings, very informative

Bravo! Your video is the most comprehensive one I have ever found in discussing gothic architecture. I learned so much watching it. You’re correct in saying that the English gothic style is unique in comparison with the gothic styles found in European architecture (especially churches and cathedrals) of the same time. Having had the opportunity to visit several European countries and seen many examples of this style of architecture I agree with you that English gothic is the most interesting of all. BTW I got Covid early on in the pandemic and now have Long Covid as a result. For quite some time my body was quite useless and I experienced brain fog too. I decided that while my body was one issue that I didn’t have a lot of control over, as a lifelong learner I could keep my mind active. As a result I decided to learn everything that I could about the Middle Ages in England beginning with the Battle of Hastings onward to the early Tudors. Gothic architecture has become an area of especially great interest to me. Having visited England twice before this captured my attention and imagination. My dream is to return to visit the great cathedrals and parish churches all over the country and to study them in much more depth. Thank you again for this wonderful video!

The Tuskany Romanesque in particular Pisa Is inspiration Ancient Rome. Vedi uso delle Colonne.

I find this complicated but well explained. Does this apply to other languages as well, thinking German.

I loved the presentation. As an engineer, I wish there were some mention of weight-bearing in these structures. Since the structures have lasted so long, they must have been doing something right.

Thank you so much for this video, it's very helpful for my mocks :)

Do tell me what is the source music you are using. It sounds very live( not midi). Can't pinpoint who the composer is. Though it sounds neo-romantic. Maybe from 1890s and upwards. The music is able to be emotional but still reserved in the background and still holding more a character of absolut music rather than incedental

Thank you

a favored subject, the early farmers, Anatolian farmer migrations into Europe, the proto-Greeks, the non-Indo-European speakers such as the Terramare, later the Tyrrhenian group of speakers (Etruscan, Rhaetian and those of Lemnos) which represent a language of the EEF early farmers, all of which is of much interest to me etc. The video is wonderful to see, love the landscapes.

How did they do it.

I saw the inside of Asamkirche in person and it was truly beautiful.. I have come to appreciate baroque architecture throughout my travels in Europe although my favorite style is the gothic architecture with its grotesque gargoyles and its arches etc. Great video.. Thank you for the information.. Cheers

Great video, helping me study for an exam. At 6:32 you show the Colosseum but labeled it as the Flavian Amphitheater. Cheers!

I'm here for all the wrong reasons yet still find this so amusing and beautiful. Both the enlightening explanation with detailed visual representation and historical building really come together and have inspired me.

How is it different from renaissance architecture?

Thank you for making this video. It really helped me understand and appreciate Baroque architecture.

Very informative and helpful in distinguishing baroque. Thank you so much for putting this together!

Thank you for the wonderful video!

Very interesting and loved the use of graphics to show the buildings.

Very interesting and I learned a lot about Roman architecture. Thanks.

Very interesting, thank you!

Thank you for explaining this complex subject!

Very informative. Thank you for sharing the knowledge and ,of course, the beauty of these styles.

I would like to know the british Indian Architecture in the British India. They Incorporated Indian classical designs with the european ones.

Ur amazing

Omg thanks for the video I loved it, learned so much .

Get woke, go Baroque!

The counter tenor singing and the piece in the background just matches the drama, restless energy, and extravagance of the baroque period. The baroque period is my favorite period in terms of music, art, and architecture. Great video!!

Too bad covid is over, because so to are lockdowns and thus lockdown learning 😢 This was a wonderful explanation!

I particularly enjoy the Spanish Romanesque, which has a certain whimsical character to it. This character comes from a fusion of Mudéjar styles with northern European. San Vincente de Avila in particular comes to mind as a good example of this. Also the domes of Salamanca's Old Cathedral and Zamora's Cathedral are quite unique.

Excellant series. Very smooth and polished. The graphics are wonderful , uncluttered and easy to view. i used my boise speakers which overcame the deficentiies of tablet speakers

Outstanding overview! Simple, clear, and intelligible.

thank you for sharing it's very helpful! It looks like the architects and artist are slowly getting more and more high, until a psychedelic level lol.

Interesting quick glance at the period. Perhaps it's worth a deeper dive into the different parts of the Decorated period, and how the Geometric period gave way to the Curvilinear period because of the introduction of the ogee arch, which carries through even to Perpendicular?

The volume is so low that I can’t hear you. The captions aren’t very helpful, because the software is trained with US-English voices (at least here in the US), who it makes a hash out of UK English. The almost-silent R’s in British English aren’t picked up, nor are hard the T’s picked up as T’s, only D’s. We fully voice all R’s in most dialects here. There are troubles with vowels, too. The result is often hilarious, but always inaccurate, captions. Please increase your output volume on future videos, I can only watch on my iPad (no TV), and the volume is on maximum. Thanks, I love this subject!

thank you so much for the course, it have helped my study a lot

Love the video and the series. Buildings in Petra have broken pediments. I wonder if it's just a coincidence.

Thank you!!
