I truly learnt a lot from you and now I understand the story behind each architecture style , Thank you Arch. Mr. Sebastian , It has truly been Educational .
Thank you for the compliment! 🙂
As a Dutchman I am verry proud you showed Berlage and de Amsterdam School with Michel de Klerk .....oh and also Dudok !
Thank you ; )
Splendid explanation of the state of architecture nowadays! It really is out of despair to be unique and different. We can call these trends. And trends are like fashion, something cool now will be so last decade soon.
Also not only people got disinterested in architecture but students themselves, they are not allowed to design anything that can be labeled as "Historicist" it is actively shunned by professors.
I think the mindset of "of our time" ruined architecture because it brought us modernist mess that is not even really functional (flat roof in rainy climate?!?) it just SUGGESTS functionality with "clean lines" and no embellishments.
Thank you!! : )
@@SebastianvonThaden you are welcome!
Do you see this as an intentional degradation of what were once life-affirming structures? Professors getting their marching orders from above?
Or do you see it as an organic decline?
Thank you so much for this video it really helped me understand more the chronological order and relations between these many famous architecture styles, i agree with you at the end no normal human aside from workaholics could function and not be depressed in these modern buildings, Le Corbusier said himself ''une maison est une machine a habiter'' in my opinion this type of architecture was made to force humans into this endless work eat sleep repeat type of lifestyle, its true that le corbusier in villa savoye favorized a very good circulation and the toit terrasse but still that's not offered and applied in the many building complexes we live in nowadays , it saddens me that many university professors still favorize brutal functionalism over human mental sanity.
this is the best thing i have seen in a very long time
thank you.. !
I’m an architecture student and this was so useful for my history class!
Great, thank you!
you may want to check out my recent video about "Modern Architecture vs. Postmodern" : )
THE BEST video I find about Architecture history! thank you for sharing with us. I'm design student and I have a project about "Analysis of the role of historical monuments in the formation of the city exterior" can you advice me some resources, books? I'd be grateful!
Absolutely amazing ❤
Thank you !
Goth, baroque, rococo are beautiful, now we only have boxes.
فيديو مفيد فعلا شكرا جزيلا لك من مصر
Great video!!very useful for my first exam, would be handy if the names of the buildings were written under the image :)
I really liked your lecture, thank you for that! I myself am a history enthusiast and I like architecture, do you have perhaps some recommendations on architectural history books like your lecture?
Hello, Professor!
I'm returning to this video 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.
Very interesting, thank you!
Thank you for the compliment! You are welcome !
Really informative.
Too much informative!
40:35 looks eerily similar to a 12 story building in my city called Temple Court. I thought I was hallucinating.
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
How about the architectures in Asia, Asia Minor, and other parts of the world?
this is discussed in another comment here already
It's amazing
❤
Thank you :)
Oke this was great 😍
Thank you! : )
thank you for this video! it was very educational, however I was hoping that you would've touch on Islamic architecture as well. was always curious how war played a part in shaping architecture.
After spamming a video with “Israel doesn’t exist” fascist nonsense (Judea and Jewish statehood in the region around Jerusalem predates Islams very birth by over 1000 years) you have some nerve expecting him to give you the honour of a special focus on Islamic history, which while I too was once very interested in, seeing the support for Ruzzia and China despite their own genocides of Muslim’s, while you guys commonly attack the west as a whole for something we don’t even directly support (most western nations support Palestine statehood) has completely destroyed any chance of comfortable discussion on those topics without knowing it will create a whole warzone in the comments
A Strebepfeiler, do you mean flying buttress? I love that expression but I don't know what the German translation of it is. A translation website gives Strebebogen instead.
I think the "flying buttress" is the arch part. German: Strebebogen. There is no direct translation of "Strebepfeiler", I think the closest is "Gothic buttress" : )
Thank u so much!!!! I just started watching. But the images are difficult to read. Do you have a link to the slides or images, or can you send me pleeease?
Ohh you zoomed in!!! Thats why im impatient and anxious lol
I am applying to arch uni this year and would be useful and a bless this material to study. I will continue the vídeo and take somee notes, thank youuuu
this was really helpful thanks! Whats the name of the book in 34:28 ? because I don't know how to type it correctly and I cant find it
It is this one: www.amazon.com/dp/1020482656/
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 am not American; but it sounds interesting what you say.
can you list some names of those American 1800s towns?
@@SebastianvonThaden Wow thanks for your quick reply!
A couple of towns to look at:
Sioux City, Iowa
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Superior, Wisconsin
and especially the cities out West - as I imagine the transportation of goods was even more difficult like:
Spokane, Washington
Walla Walla, Washington
Salt Lake City, Utah (The Tabernacle is incredible for 3-4 years work!)
San Diego, California
It seems like they must have had an extensive network to be able to move the building materials for all of the grand constructions in the area. Especially looking at State buildings, Churches, Schools, and especially the Asylums.
Thanks for digging in!
He specified within the European geographical boundaries

There is no mention of Indian, Persian and Islamic architecture which carry equal significance in history of architecture.
as mentioned in another comment, this lecture is about History of Western Architecture
Not
Hi Sebastian! Who was the arhchitect you mentioned at 32:30 ? I didn't quite catch their name
Nevermind I found him! Boullee
yes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tienne-Louis_Boull%C3%A9e?wprov=srpw1_0@@tobyharrison5468 :)
Being an architect the speakers has many inaccuracies and missed a lot of important elements of history.
of course, a lot must miss, because it is a summary.
but what is inaccuracte?
Wou forgot byzantine architecture
So.. you don't like anything built after the 1915's ?.....
Oh, there are many great buldings of all times, even nowadays!
The Ton isch a weng off, but i can KOPE ;)
yes, after this video I bought a new microphone already :)
16:53 LOL
To the creator of this video, WHY do you allow Iranian and Russian bots to spam your video with hate filled anti semitic comments denying basic human history and attempting to Muslim-wash history or the PRE ISLAMIC Middle East
where did I allow that ?
Just ignore the Leftists
😢😢
I hate the modern styles so much. Buildings have lost their uniqueness and character…
Palestine was just what the Roman's called Judea after they conquered it. The people who were living there before the state of Israel was founded were former ottoman subjects who got sour after their empire fell apart after WWI
This is unfair ! I dont see islamic architecture and how it shaped modern and even old architecture in europe
Islamic architecture is not part of the canon of "western" architecture history, as an academic discipline.
Same as Japanese or Chinese or Hinduistic Architecture.. !
@@SebastianvonThadenOkay, but why don't you teach these nations architecture? Aren't they part of same world?
@@SebastianvonThaden what does canon of western architecture mean ?
@@tokio2618 I haven't studied architecture, but I suspect it's just a way of categorising different types of architecture within the field, like any other discipline does.
@@alphaoga Stop moaning. Grief. It was mentioned that the focus was on Western architecture. Woke doesn't work here. It is a study of Western architecture. Go boohoo elsewhere.
No Persian architecture, and you are missing big
the video is about western architecture :)
@@SebastianvonThadenLove the video. Found while searching for lifestyle history of Europe. Still looking. Would like to see how people lived within architecture but also technology, shoes, time keeping, lighting, trains etc…
Mespotamia in my book is in Asia. Too much eurocentrism.
That is correct, but the "European" History defines its start point there, since the area is also the region of the first high cultures.
stop calling it origin of civilisation.. indic (indian) civilisation may be much older..
With nothing to show of artistically.
haha what? @@Raghgghhhaaahhhhhhas
@@Raghgghhhaaahhhhhhasdoepends on the definition of art
@@joynigam4151who cares they aren’t us & didn’t bring Europe a printing press.
@@Raghgghhhaaahhhhhhasyou are just not cultured
