This is very helpful! I am an architecture student currently assigned to design a church, I have always been fascinated by gothic architecture, so I really wanted to incorporate gothic elements in my church. Luckily, I came across this video, which even comes with beautiful and accurate sketches! , and it helped me a lot in conceptualizing my design. I hope you create more content, a talent, and skill like yours would help a lot of architecture students!
Many thanks! I hope to have more time for creating new videos in the future. By the way, designing a church was my favorite assignment during my studies :)
@@GrimDream I imagine it will take just under a month to complete. I've been a woodworker all my life and nearly 20 years ago became a Master Woodcarver. This Bookcase will be the first project in turning one of my empty rooms into a Gothic design office. :D
you're an absolute lifesaver! I'm currently writing a paper that has to use these terms and I was super lost even though I was reading the textbook 😭 thank you!
this is great thank you! im an illustrator, and i found this video a really fun and inspiring way to learn - i will probably refer back to it! also great technical detail on these drawings!
Thank you! Ah yes, there's a little difference between wimpergs and gables, as the former are purely decorative elements and can be added even to rectangular walls (above windows or doors for example).
This is amazing. I had never understood this before. It's all confusing if you try to read what these things are. I have never been to any Cathedral(I doubt there are any in Northern India, at least not any famous ones) so it used to be tirelessly confusing to imagine what written descriptions were trying to picture. Thank you.
I'm not Religious at all, but i have found a very great Interesst in the Architecture of Gothic Cathedrals and this video is really great to understand it, thanks!!
This was the most entertaining video I have watched in a while! I can't promise that I will remember all of these terms tomorrow, but I am sure I'll remember a few! I was wondering, do you have a perspective drawing tutorial somewhere/are you planning to make one? I would be eternally grateful 😇
Thanks! I'm super happy to read that! 😀 I haven't made a perspective drawing tutorial, but I explained perspective basics in my Skillshare courses: -"Drawing Houses Step by Step (...)" : skl.sh/349kiNg -"Drawing various forms in perspective (...)": www.skillshare.com/en/classes/Drawing-various-forms-in-perspective-based-on-a-GOTHIC-CATHEDRAL/1102286923
Thanks Elwira, this was really helpful. I live in Bombay. Buildings like the GIPR headquarters VT station are built in Neo Gothic style. This video was really helpful for me to understand the architectural elements of Gothic style.
@awaknis1635 Just a quick, spontaneous reaction while having my breakfast😄 I'm glad that you like the new video! I started creating it several months ago but only a few days ago found time to actually finish it. Thanks a lot for the idea for this video by the way!
@@GrimDream Elwira, You deserve a lot of love, recognition, respect and admiration for your art, professional work, persona and the kind of human being you are. I hope You always be happy, healthy and smiling.
Pinnacles are NOT DECORATIVE elements. They were made as heavy as possible (sometimes with lead) because their weight helps to contain the forces. In gothic architecture everything is about handling the horizontal forces of the main aches with the minimal amount of material. - Pointed arches instead of round => smaller horziontal loads - Extra vertical load of the pinnacles => direction of the load is more vertical => smaller buttreses
I never understood the necessity to put a name in each element of architecture, so which names ought to put in a Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona??
All elements in la Sagrada Familia, from structural to ornamental ones, are simply traditional (gothic, to be precise) elements adapted to a catenary arch based structural work and Gaudi's take on Catalonian art nouveau taste for decoration. If you strip decoration and focus on structure, what you end up with is a gothic temple with no pointed arches. Some other technical innovations are purely based in removing or slightly shifting typical elements, such as for example exposing the start of the arches to make the pilars resemble trees by removing part of the filling of the vaults. Names come in handy for any field of knowledge and craftmanship: if you can name a thing, it means it has a purpouse, it's meant to be there.
God, these sketches are exquisite!

I am actually building a Gothic Bookcase right now! Quarter sawn white oak, Gothic arches, and even Tracery! What a great video!
Sounds like an awesome project! How long is it going to take you to build such a bookcase?

also great technical detail on these drawings!
Great video! I spent an hour last night trying to find the name of the knobbly bits:) and thanks to you now I know. Crockets!
I love how clearly illustrated everything is. I haven't heard the term "wimperg" before, just gable or main gable.
Thank you! Ah yes, there's a little difference between wimpergs and gables, as the former are purely decorative elements and can be added even to rectangular walls (above windows or doors for example).
THANK YOU!... I think I did need to know these terms.
Jak się zaskoczyłam kiedy zobaczyłam polski przy crockets! Cudownie Pani rysuje i bardzo pomocny filmik!
Bardzo się cieszę i dzięki za miłe słowa!
such an engaging teaching style !!

The transept is perpendicular to the nave.

At the time the stone mason was well versed in all these terms.
