The history is just incredible; and you’re right, the historic rural architecture is the epitome of coziness (plus of course incredibly beautiful and picturesque). In the region of England where I am (Suffolk), there are thousands upon thousands of medieval/ Tudor half-timbered houses everywhere here - many painted in bright local colors with a fairytale thatched roof.

I've been to a few follies around the UK and there's one folly where it was used as an execution spot and you can stand with your back against the wall and take a picture with musket strikes all around your body and over the top of your head.
I actually like brutalism and constructivism, there are much more interesting examples of these styles that the ones on the video. Most of them look weirdly alien in a good way and definitely have more soul than modern glass cubes
Here in Italy, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire(476), there have been so many foreign dominations that lasted even hundreds of years (Germans, Byzantines, East Europeans, French, Spanish, Normans and even the Arabs in Sicily...)so you can find many styles that can be found...i should make a long list...
Byzantine is making a comeback in Russia, they're building churches in that style and they're planning to build "the largest orthodox church in the world" larger than Hagia Sophia, in the Byzantine style.
So little time has passed, but people already forgot about the brutalistic beauty of shape complexity and color simplicity for the sake of flashy "old" styles. May their legs be sealed in concrete forewer.
I don't think people here really gave modern architecture, or architecture in general, that much thought. "Old" = good, "new" = bad. That's all it is. Zero consideration as to why traditional styles "worked", why they generally fail today, and why the modern styles were implemented. No wonder we are stuck in a sea of pointless mcmansions and post-modern monstrosities
Bauhaus and brutalist architecture are really overlooked and it's annoying, I wish people stopped opposing so-called "traditional" architecture with more modern movements just for the sake of bashing what's being built today (which can be ugly/soulless but can also be great)

Brutalist is mostly used in government or official buildings, medical centers and other facilities, due to low cost and durability. But a lot of these buildings actually have a strange aura to them, in a cloudy or humid day, these megastructures with their peculiar shapes, angles and height emitting an other-worldly feeling as they stand ominously over the fog, the lights and strobes blaring through the thick humidity of the mist... An example being the Dallas city hall, or a lot of buildings in Madrid and other European cities like it. And its more "intense" usage on monuments also really give an ominous feeling of progression, survival and our suffering from the past, Eastern-Europe uses these styles a lot as momuments to the world wars and the Cold War that followed it. Also some people are forgetting these more classical type buildings were expensive as shit to build, let alone any architect who knew how to build them were fucking dead. And a little thing that happened in between 1914, 1918, then also between 1939, and 1945, happened. But the combination of brutalism, neo-futurism and other modern architecture, with the more gothic older buildings standing among them, gives a sort of powerful or ominous feeling to how far humanity has come into the future.
I think a lot of people don't understand that the world wars didn't just physically destroy a lot of these old baroque buildings but also discredited the nationalist and romantic ideologies that these styles represent. We live in like a post-apocalyptic world, is it any surprise many who lived then wanted to let the past burn?
Yes, I agree people must be more thoughtful when considering their ancestors relationship to their architecture. Much like how the notre dame cathedral was heavily damaged in multiple occasions during revolts/rebellions/riots.
@@IAmTheStig32not at all the right nationalist are rising all over Europe what are you talking about? The very left who seeks to demonize is losing control of the narrative which has been spun in a thous-1000 directions which is why the divide especially in the USA and Canada is so apparent.
Germany, Poland and Czechia largely rebuilt the areas destroyed in WW2 with the same style they had before. Czechia specially is currently changing a lot of Soviet ugly neighbors back to their historical styles, and it's not over expensive, no one is talking about building a massive baroque palace, just a nice human-scale townhouse. Also there's a thing called "books", that's why we can learn about things long after those who knew them died...
Niko was born to Milica Bellic and an unnamed father in an unspecified country in Eastern Europe. Milica, a maternal and caring presence in Niko's life, regrets that her sons have been forced to endure the hardships they did as children, including their abusive, alcoholic father. As a teenager, Niko participated in an unnamed war as an infantryman, tank driver, and helicopter pilot, during which he witnessed numerous atrocities that traumatised him, leading to his cynical view on life. He is implied to have committed war crimes.After his unit of fifteen men from his village were ambushed by the enemy, Niko escaped and concluded that the unit had been betrayed by one of their own soldiers. He later learned that there are two other survivors, Florian Cravic and Darko Brevic, and vowed to search for the traitor. After the war, Niko experienced difficulty leading a normal life, and his brother was killed in action. Knowing only violence, Niko turned to the Balkanic criminal underworld. He joined a smuggling and trafficking ring run by Russian crime lord Ray Bulgarin. During one smuggling run into Italy, the boat that Niko was working on sank in the Adriatic Sea.He was able to swim to safety, but Bulgarin accused him of sinking the ship intentionally to escape with the money. Niko later joined the merchant navy to flee from Bulgarin, befriended the crew of the Platypus cargo ship, and contemplated his cousin Roman's requests for him to come to Liberty City in the United States. Once in Liberty City in 2008, Niko quickly realises that Roman's stories of wealth and success were exaggerated. In reality, his cousin lives in a small, decrepit apartment in the Broker district,and owes gambling debts across the city, which he struggles to pay through his unprofitable taxi service. In addition to working for Roman as a cab driver, Niko must protect him from loan sharks and work for Russian gangster Vlad Glebov to prevent Roman from sinking further into debt. Niko completes most of the jobs he is given with ease, as his military skills give him an advantage over the street thugs of Liberty City. During this time, he also begins making criminal contacts that will eventually become important allies,such as Yardie second-in-command Little Jacob and car entrepreneur Brucie Kibbutz. Niko's professional and personal relationships expand over the course of the game, as he is introduced to more powerful and influential criminals.

Stave church ! Even though I'm in Europe, we don't have it here, so for a long time I thought it was just a building invented in films to represent these countries 😭
Some good styles like Art Deco, Dutch Mannerism and Brick Gothic are missing. Also there are different Swiss Chalet architectures, Chalets in Bern look different from those in Appenzell etc.
I love Victorian because it’s such an elegant fusing of gothic and classicism, seems a fitting poster child for the conclusion of traditional architecture in England before… well you know.

I like modern stuff too A sleek business skyscraper is different to a soviet geometrically bizarre brutalist building is different to a quirky fruitger aero mirror's edge style building
You forgot hanseatic architecture!! Characterised by tall, narrow houses with grand facades! Many houses on the coast from northern france to estonia follow this architecture type. Also, the famous Dutch canal houses are an evolution of this building style!!
We truly live in the age of soulless, unoriginal and bland gentrification of a post-modern taste that destroyed every local tradition and difference in the name of corporate diversity and wage gaps. Downtowns all feel the same once you negate poor people or locals to express their culture and traditions.
I do wonder... what a regular looking castle or fort would look like if built today? Or any other building that would be considered historical for that matter. Man oh man, some of these buildings be looking real nice, thanks for putting this together! I like how when visiting the past there are these huge buildings that are beautiful to watch, histroy really did leave us with much and sadly, it does seem that we don't always appreciate even the small, much less the big, things. Then we come closer to modern day and everything is just concrete, glass and plastic. I think I heard someone say about this matter that building tall, block-like buildings might not look nice but they are very efficient to house lots of people where space might be tight. I mean, could you imagine any large city that has - say, sky scrapers and such - to have instead just regular houses and so on? That leads to an interesting point, though, and that is that history happened and things were built to last and in many cases to look beautiful, too. But we live in the 2000s and things are simply too different to be done equally. I'm not defending those modern buildings that are supposed to be art as well or something. Appreciate the past but keep your eyes towards the future, as some wise someone somewhere probably has said 😅
An underrated architectural style that wasn't included in this is Wilhelminian, popular in Germany during the time of the German Empire. Very few buildings of the style still stand but they were prevalent in Germany until WW2. If you look at old photos of Berlin for example you'll very likely see a building that has the Wilhelminian architectural style. Edit: Wilhelminian is technically a sub-style of Baroque but it is distinct.
Some other interesting options (for a part 2) are: (german) half-timbered architecture, jugendstil, art nouveau, art deco, romanogothic, empire style, rococo, 'Veneto style'/arabic influenced renaissance, etc.
Art nouveau is a mind-boggler because it is textbook modernism, but so much unlike that which modernism became after the world wars. Art nouveau was modernisms last attempt at reinventing the visual language of a people, before doing away with it completely by the end of the 1940s.

I hope Europe embraces some of it's more traditional architecture styles, they've got so many great ones to choose from with so much history behind them.
The newer ones (save for revivals of old styles) are kinda bad, hope they eventually get away from making everything into mal-formed cubes.
Im all about the Gothic
So many great styles... Really inspiring
1:23 this has got to be the best
You forgot a lot of styles, especially romanesque, Renaissance, Art deco, national romantism, nordic classicism...
I can think of also Jugend, Functionalism, Alpine Folk(clay&timber)

Como español debo asincerarme, tengo la foto del 0:59 como fondo de pantalla, he estado muchas veces en Sevilla, y siempre me gusta apreciar la entrada de ese palacio. Saludos
God loves you!❤
Amen brother! Let us spread the good news to all and reaffirm the courage and faith of those who already believe!

You forgot Stalinist architecture, also known as soc baroque or soc reality. That's at list what I know!
Stalin's Empire it is, because it inherits to regency era Russian Empire, not baroque
@annasolovyeva1013 thanks, I didn't know the accurate terminology. I had heard about it from documentary about a town in my country(Bulgaria) .
Another top 'be like' video from Crusader. Your move Giorgio B.
1:57 Hhh the dancing tower what a overrated building
Random picture of Reims prefecture, I love it !
I've been to a few follies around the UK and there's one folly where it was used as an execution spot and you can stand with your back against the wall and take a picture with musket strikes all around your body and over the top of your head.

Did a 12 year old make this
Perchance
Womp womp
Probably 50 yo
he's using wojaks. obviously.
I actually like brutalism and constructivism, there are much more interesting examples of these styles that the ones on the video. Most of them look weirdly alien in a good way and definitely have more soul than modern glass cubes
1:17 😂 brilliantly done
Okay whoever made that Pepe version of Henry VIII is extremely talented
Here in Italy, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire(476), there have been so many foreign dominations that lasted even hundreds of years (Germans, Byzantines, East Europeans, French, Spanish, Normans and even the Arabs in Sicily...)so you can find many styles that can be found...i should make a long list...
01:20 Broadway Tower in the Cotswolds. ☺️
Another certified banger!
1:52 reminds me of one of the maps in Call of duty ghosts
Literally Siege!
1:58 Don't you DARE piss on the dancing tower!
gothic is also call " l'art français" french art.
Can we Europeans stop building abstract and "Avant guard" bs? Let's keep it traditional.
I like Gothic and Byzantine. Both should make a comeback.
Byzantine turned into classic Ottoman which turned into neo Ottoman, which is being aped by the government of Turkey for some buildings.
Bits and pieces of Byzantine are still present in Brancovenesc and Neo-Romanian architecture, also in Serbian churches.
Unfortunately, outside Churches and other ecclesiastical buildings we won't see it(pretty darn expensive) but you are right.
Byzantine is making a comeback in Russia, they're building churches in that style and they're planning to build "the largest orthodox church in the world" larger than Hagia Sophia, in the Byzantine style.
So little time has passed, but people already forgot about the brutalistic beauty of shape complexity and color simplicity for the sake of flashy "old" styles. May their legs be sealed in concrete forewer.
I don't think people here really gave modern architecture, or architecture in general, that much thought. "Old" = good, "new" = bad. That's all it is. Zero consideration as to why traditional styles "worked", why they generally fail today, and why the modern styles were implemented. No wonder we are stuck in a sea of pointless mcmansions and post-modern monstrosities
Bauhaus and brutalist architecture are really overlooked and it's annoying, I wish people stopped opposing so-called "traditional" architecture with more modern movements just for the sake of bashing what's being built today (which can be ugly/soulless but can also be great)
@@wszyscyzginiemy854i feel like ppl forget ww2 happened and also forget that the citys of old werent all these unesgo level buliding just city centres were most of these citys from the 19th centuray were mostly slums
Thing is the old architecture will still outlast the modern architecture
Architector back then:
Hehe i love adding details to my building and most important lets add the statues on the building for the king
Architectors now:
square
Brutalist is mostly used in government or official buildings, medical centers and other facilities, due to low cost and durability. But a lot of these buildings actually have a strange aura to them, in a cloudy or humid day, these megastructures with their peculiar shapes, angles and height emitting an other-worldly feeling as they stand ominously over the fog, the lights and strobes blaring through the thick humidity of the mist... An example being the Dallas city hall, or a lot of buildings in Madrid and other European cities like it.
And its more "intense" usage on monuments also really give an ominous feeling of progression, survival and our suffering from the past, Eastern-Europe uses these styles a lot as momuments to the world wars and the Cold War that followed it.
Also some people are forgetting these more classical type buildings were expensive as shit to build, let alone any architect who knew how to build them were fucking dead. And a little thing that happened in between 1914, 1918, then also between 1939, and 1945, happened. But the combination of brutalism, neo-futurism and other modern architecture, with the more gothic older buildings standing among them, gives a sort of powerful or ominous feeling to how far humanity has come into the future.
I think a lot of people don't understand that the world wars didn't just physically destroy a lot of these old baroque buildings but also discredited the nationalist and romantic ideologies that these styles represent. We live in like a post-apocalyptic world, is it any surprise many who lived then wanted to let the past burn?
Yes, I agree people must be more thoughtful when considering their ancestors relationship to their architecture. Much like how the notre dame cathedral was heavily damaged in multiple occasions during revolts/rebellions/riots.
@@IAmTheStig32not at all the right nationalist are rising all over Europe what are you talking about? The very left who seeks to demonize is losing control of the narrative which has been spun in a thous-1000 directions which is why the divide especially in the USA and Canada is so apparent.
Germany, Poland and Czechia largely rebuilt the areas destroyed in WW2 with the same style they had before. Czechia specially is currently changing a lot of Soviet ugly neighbors back to their historical styles, and it's not over expensive, no one is talking about building a massive baroque palace, just a nice human-scale townhouse. Also there's a thing called "books", that's why we can learn about things long after those who knew them died...

Niko was born to Milica Bellic and an unnamed father in an unspecified country in Eastern Europe. Milica, a maternal and caring presence in Niko's life, regrets that her sons have been forced to endure the hardships they did as children, including their abusive, alcoholic father. As a teenager, Niko participated in an unnamed war as an infantryman, tank driver, and helicopter pilot, during which he witnessed numerous atrocities that traumatised him, leading to his cynical view on life. He is implied to have committed war crimes.After his unit of fifteen men from his village were ambushed by the enemy, Niko escaped and concluded that the unit had been betrayed by one of their own soldiers. He later learned that there are two other survivors, Florian Cravic and Darko Brevic, and vowed to search for the traitor.
After the war, Niko experienced difficulty leading a normal life, and his brother was killed in action. Knowing only violence, Niko turned to the Balkanic criminal underworld. He joined a smuggling and trafficking ring run by Russian crime lord Ray Bulgarin. During one smuggling run into Italy, the boat that Niko was working on sank in the Adriatic Sea.He was able to swim to safety, but Bulgarin accused him of sinking the ship intentionally to escape with the money. Niko later joined the merchant navy to flee from Bulgarin, befriended the crew of the Platypus cargo ship, and contemplated his cousin Roman's requests for him to come to Liberty City in the United States.
Once in Liberty City in 2008, Niko quickly realises that Roman's stories of wealth and success were exaggerated. In reality, his cousin lives in a small, decrepit apartment in the Broker district,and owes gambling debts across the city, which he struggles to pay through his unprofitable taxi service. In addition to working for Roman as a cab driver, Niko must protect him from loan sharks and work for Russian gangster Vlad Glebov to prevent Roman from sinking further into debt. Niko completes most of the jobs he is given with ease, as his military skills give him an advantage over the street thugs of Liberty City. During this time, he also begins making criminal contacts that will eventually become important allies,such as Yardie second-in-command Little Jacob and car entrepreneur Brucie Kibbutz. Niko's professional and personal relationships expand over the course of the game, as he is introduced to more powerful and influential criminals.
I miss the days of just round towers and aqueducts. I can imagine a modern newspaper delivery man just using a small trebuchet to deliver the weekly paper.
Stave church ! Even though I'm in Europe, we don't have it here, so for a long time I thought it was just a building invented in films to represent these countries 😭
Some good styles like Art Deco, Dutch Mannerism and Brick Gothic are missing. Also there are different Swiss Chalet architectures, Chalets in Bern look different from those in Appenzell etc.
0:38 I love when Bauhaus comes in with EDM 😂
1:14 that kind of things i was doing in autocad in childhood
I love Victorian because it’s such an elegant fusing of gothic and classicism, seems a fitting poster child for the conclusion of traditional architecture in England before… well you know.
It's postmodernism's turn. Send in the clowns.
I can say that my expression on seeing expressionism could be best described as "...WTH?..."
Architecture with a soul needs to come back
Music to the postmodern sounds perfectly
The renaissance in my beutiful city of Firenze! God i love my country especially my home region Tuscany
Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, and Tudor styles are the best!!
2:09 Stave churches look like the kind of place where a grad student discovers ancient runestones and accidentally advances the field of Ancient Germanic poetry while playing with Lidar in its ancient basement.
I like the art nouveau architecture!
I think it would be valid to include colonial architecture, especially from South America.
Old = Chad Sigma turbo diesel manly
New = woke gay
I miss half-timbered houses
I like modern stuff too
A sleek business skyscraper is different to a soviet geometrically bizarre brutalist building is different to a quirky fruitger aero mirror's edge style building
You forgot hanseatic architecture!!
Characterised by tall, narrow houses with grand facades!
Many houses on the coast from northern france to estonia follow this architecture type.
Also, the famous Dutch canal houses are an evolution of this building style!!
I love france architecture!
Très bien ça.
We truly live in the age of soulless, unoriginal and bland gentrification of a post-modern taste that destroyed every local tradition and difference in the name of corporate diversity and wage gaps. Downtowns all feel the same once you negate poor people or locals to express their culture and traditions.
Bro, Tančící dům vypadá náhodou dost cool..
The brutalist one is btw a church in Mauer, Vienna (AT)
Expressionism? Looks more like depressionism😂
1:42
I love this style of architecture
I like it, it looks like a dildo
I do wonder... what a regular looking castle or fort would look like if built today? Or any other building that would be considered historical for that matter. Man oh man, some of these buildings be looking real nice, thanks for putting this together!
I like how when visiting the past there are these huge buildings that are beautiful to watch, histroy really did leave us with much and sadly, it does seem that we don't always appreciate even the small, much less the big, things. Then we come closer to modern day and everything is just concrete, glass and plastic. I think I heard someone say about this matter that building tall, block-like buildings might not look nice but they are very efficient to house lots of people where space might be tight. I mean, could you imagine any large city that has - say, sky scrapers and such - to have instead just regular houses and so on?
That leads to an interesting point, though, and that is that history happened and things were built to last and in many cases to look beautiful, too. But we live in the 2000s and things are simply too different to be done equally. I'm not defending those modern buildings that are supposed to be art as well or something. Appreciate the past but keep your eyes towards the future, as some wise someone somewhere probably has said 😅
I might be the only one, but i really appreciate Amsterdam school being mentioned
You know you’ve traveled a lot when you’ve been to almost every single place here 😳
Tudor is goated
Pretty cubes, prisms with a sprinkle of columns
An underrated architectural style that wasn't included in this is Wilhelminian, popular in Germany during the time of the German Empire. Very few buildings of the style still stand but they were prevalent in Germany until WW2. If you look at old photos of Berlin for example you'll very likely see a building that has the Wilhelminian architectural style.
Edit: Wilhelminian is technically a sub-style of Baroque but it is distinct.
I’m English and love Tudor and Victorian houses
Some other interesting options (for a part 2) are:
(german) half-timbered architecture, jugendstil, art nouveau, art deco, romanogothic, empire style, rococo, 'Veneto style'/arabic influenced renaissance, etc.
Picturing a landscape of expressionism and neo-futurism is pure quackery and android heaven.
Art nouveau is a mind-boggler because it is textbook modernism, but so much unlike that which modernism became after the world wars. Art nouveau was modernisms last attempt at reinventing the visual language of a people, before doing away with it completely by the end of the 1940s.
I just know that one victorian castle was at most tv series/movies
Europe has a lot of amazing architecture that needs to be preserved.
But the modern ones are a sore for eyes..
