+Iesvilla Lucretius said it made the 'bitter draught' of important yet complex information go down easier. Granted, I think he was talking about using poetry at the time, but I think a calming, gentle voice has the same effect. Dr. Roxburgh and Alain de Botton have mastered this, in my opinion.
Palladio had this beautiful girl's voice in mind when creating calm, harmony and wonder in his architecture..and her face when building simple yet elegant facades.
Dear school of life, do you plan on making a "music" section where you talk about classical or modern composers or musical styles and their effect on society or culture?
+The School of Life / Leo Ross That is a great idea. I've always felt I needed a hand, or an ear in appreciating music that hasn't been machined to be "easy" to listen to particularly classical music.
+Leo Ross They could do a section about cinema and director too... Not just Hollywood productions; but also, French movies or the Japonese masterpieces
+The School of Life I can see how that would be difficult. I've taken a course on music history and almost didn't pass. It was a lot of information for sure.
+The School of Life If ever that group needed an intern or something, I would absolutely be willing to apply :D . The lens through which this channel views other arts can help with understanding the deep and meaningful lessons that music can teach us, especially the works of the masters.
I'm from Padua, and I grant you that this zone of Italy is filled with this kind of architecture: there are lots of "ville", holiday houses for the renaissance nobles or rich merchants who lived in Venice during the rest of the year to make business. If you want relaxing holidays in a sunny, calm place where you can see pieces of art like these, come visit us!
Man I love the voice of that lady, I could listen to it all day long. Besides the fact that the video is quite educational and enlightening, I think that the most beautiful thing this videos teach us is how to narrate, which is by its own merits very hard. Congrats the school of life, keep the magnificent work going!
Watching this beautiful lesson, I remembered that on his speech about him, John Armstrong said that Goethe had this need to search for soul mates from the cultural past. And one of his soul mates was Andrea Palladio. It was like having an "imaginary friend". So Goethe would have long conversations with him there inside his head. How very practical! This made me think that if we wanted to adapt Goethe's habit, Hannah would be a great imaginary friend for us too:-) An excellent teacher with such a beautiful mind and pure voice. In fact, probably as many of us do, I also remember the valuable insights of these lessons always with Hannah's voice. By the way, for all friends who are as ignorant as myself about architecture, I highly recommend Alain's great documentary " The Perfect Home", which you can find on his other youtube channel. Here is the line I loved the most from there: " Beauty is goodness written into matter."
Thank you for the excellent video. Can you give a reference for the statement: 'Palladio held views on architecture .... One of these ideas is that architecture has a clear purpose which is to help us be better people.'
I would love to see an episode on any of the following: Tadao Ando, Peter Zumthor, Zaha Hadid, Renzo Piano, Santiago Calatrava, Louis Kahn, or I.M. Pei These were some of my favorite architects I studied in school. I'd love to hear your take on them! Thank you for the fantastic content!
Outstanding Hannah. It warms the heart to hear you say "a seductive portrait of our calmest and most dignified selves." The Four Books of Architecture are...well, hundreds of pages...and I'd love to hear you read every word.
It's interesting to notice that a polymath and an architecht Buckminster Fuller had a similar notion of purpose for architecture but he stated it more clarly. He said, that we need a revolution in design so that we can by its means transform humanity and survive the potential of extinction.
I could listen to her for ages,she could literally talk about how wonderful are Donald Trump's views of the world and I would simply and sincerely just smile back...
It is great to see Dr. Hannah Roxburgh back - so many people want to understand art but don't and she does it in an informative and accessible way... Also. That voice! :D
This is in line with Jordan Peterson's ideas. He explains that Beauty generates an awe in humans that incentives us to try to imitate that Beauty, by becoming better and as worthy of it as we can.
Andrea Palladio (30 November 1508 - 19 August 1580) was an Italian architect active in the Republic of Venice. Palladio, influenced by Roman and Greek architecture, primarily by Vitruvius, is widely considered to be the most influential individual in the history of architecture. All of his buildings are located in what was the Venetian Republic, but his teachings, summarized in the architectural treatise, The Four Books of Architecture, gained him wide recognition. The city of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
his architecture is like the human body and it's organs..everything is needed and fits with everything else seamlessly as if it was a singular organism.
Thanks, Marisol for the good chat and the encourage words before the IELTS (Don't worry if you don't understand, it's not intended to be understood but just by one person)! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Great videos, The School of Love, keep up and thank you for your amazing, well-done videos.
Dr Hannah i'm headed bacK to The Veneto in the next year. Please let me know if you might be available for conducting a tour. I'm guessing your are quite busy, but I would be thrilled to learn of your perspectives and attempt to bring them back to my market in San francisco. let us know. Thank you.
Dear School of Life, I am writing in on behalf of my organisation, NUS Harmonica Orchestra, to ask for your kind permission to use your footages and photography for educational viewing. We would be using it during our concert screening to let our audiences learn about the geometry and symmetry in Palladio's architecture. Thank you very much for the helpful and informative video. We will be sure to give you due credit. Best wishes, Tiffany
You should totally check out the Dutch Architect Dom Hans van der Laan, he created a distinct and calm architectual style that had a very thought out filosophy behind it.
+Augusto Griffi YES!!!! I immediatly told my Anthropology Professor of The School of Life when he made a class on Comte- i think their ideas somewhat resemble each other ( it's seems to me that De Botton mentioned him in some talks)
Oh wow her voice is like melted butter
How would you describe melted butter?
Brother you glazing mate 🤓
YAASSSSS ! THE QUEEN IS BACK !!!
Oh man I could listen to her read the phonebook. Pure bliss !
+Mimosa E. she's back!!!!
What other videos has she done?
How come everyone in School of Life has a narrator's voice as sweet as honey?
+Iesvilla Lucretius said it made the 'bitter draught' of important yet complex information go down easier. Granted, I think he was talking about using poetry at the time, but I think a calming, gentle voice has the same effect. Dr. Roxburgh and Alain de Botton have mastered this, in my opinion.
omg, I ADORE her voice!
+The School of Life that voice is the best I've ever heard
School of Life's voice training department is its best-hidden secret
Dr. Hannah Roxburgh is actually the voiceover artist/comedian/actress Roisin O'Mahony.
Palladio had this beautiful girl's voice in mind when creating calm, harmony and wonder in his architecture..and her face when building simple yet elegant facades.
Dear school of life, do you plan on making a "music" section where you talk about classical or modern composers or musical styles and their effect on society or culture?
+The School of Life Oh cool can't wait to see the Electronic Music section
+The School of Life / Leo Ross That is a great idea. I've always felt I needed a hand, or an ear in appreciating music that hasn't been machined to be "easy" to listen to particularly classical music.

The fact that her voice is relaxing could be an indication that our lives are too stressful and distracted.
This is the most informative ASMR video I've ever seen. I love it.
Omfg that voice is the best I've ever heard
Can she read to me every day?
Ryan C... i know!😳 her voice is so soft... damn! And looked hot too!😅

ahhhhzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Being just another educational video, I was sent here by my art teacher. No wonder this is exceptionally beautiful! It's by The School of Life!
Man I love the voice of that lady, I could listen to it all day long.

Hello from his birthrown! I'm always delighted by his harmonious and beautiful buildings... Thanks for this video!
Please, make more videos about art/architecture and literature. You post videos like this so rarely and there are many subjects to cover.
+The School of Life Can you please have an episode about Leonardo da vinci or jacque fresco?
LOOOOVE THIS VIDEO. Awesome channel. The concept of dignity on architecture is , sadly, commonly forgotten.
The Dr's Hannah voice tone and pattern is a soothing massage to my brain.I would love to see more vids with her or just her narration.
Dr. Hannah Roxburgh is actually the voiceover artist/comedian/actress Roisin O'Mahony.
Wonderful voice!
How mesmerizing that voice tone, sweet Jesus! It's so good that made me remember my teachers, with their voice tones looking like angry geese...
This is a wonderful video. So inspirational. I hope many city planners and architects would watch and take note..
That voice, It's like honey dripping in my ears. Amazing
I could listen to you proclaiming Vogon poetry for hours.
I found my mind wandering repeatedly during this one. I think it's how soft her voice is or her cadence.
Lovely voice. I like this host
Beautiful presentation by Dr. Roxburgh--elegant, calm speaking voice, reflective of the very architectural virtues she notes with Palladio. Nice work!
I for one am very happy that she is back
Watching this beautiful lesson, I remembered that on his speech about him, John Armstrong said that Goethe had this need to search for soul mates from the cultural past. And one of his soul mates was Andrea Palladio. It was like having an "imaginary friend". So Goethe would have long conversations with him there inside his head. How very practical!

+Bobby Shmurda
Hey Bobby, thanks a lot for reading and for your message:-) Best wishes!
An architect without an ego, LOVE IT!
She's back!
I enjoyed learning about Mr. Palladio and very much enjoyed Dr. Roxburgh narration
Spanish & Italian renaissance art is my savior please cover someone
Thank you for the excellent video. Can you give a reference for the statement:
'Palladio held views on architecture .... One of these ideas is that architecture has a clear purpose which is to help us be better people.'
Vicenza! My town! So proud:)
Done reading these comments they are all about how amazing her voice is smh
Noted... LOL.. Nothing about Signor Palladio who influenced a whole host of architects through the generations..
I have never looked at buildings this way. This is amazing
After a video about serenity in architecture, I think a video on the works of Frank Lloyd Wright is in order.
...her voice .... I need more
THE PHILOSOPHICAL MEDITATION GIRL! YES!
I would love to see an episode on any of the following: Tadao Ando, Peter Zumthor, Zaha Hadid, Renzo Piano, Santiago Calatrava, Louis Kahn, or I.M. Pei
These were some of my favorite architects I studied in school. I'd love to hear your take on them! Thank you for the fantastic content!
I am obsessed by the work of those architects you named above and would love to see documentaries on their work as well.
Are you an architect also?
Her voice makes me feel heavenly!
Watching this while drawing an architectural piece in my art class haha🏛🏛🏛🏛🏛, great video😀
I stumbled here by accident. What a nice bit of education about the essence of architecture.
Outstanding Hannah. It warms the heart to hear you say "a seductive portrait of our calmest and most dignified selves." The Four Books of Architecture are...well, hundreds of pages...and I'd love to hear you read every word.
Is this section of the channel dead? I miss hearing from this nice lady.
I love the ART/ARCHITECTURE section, but I would like to see a DESIGN section.
It's interesting to notice that a polymath and an architecht Buckminster Fuller had a similar notion of purpose for architecture but he stated it more clarly. He said, that we need a revolution in design so that we can by its means transform humanity and survive the potential of extinction.
I like her voice! :D
So much more to architecture than I thought
Thanks for the video; made me think about the way UI can, intentionally or otherwise, trend towards a Palladion aesthetic.
I could listen to her for ages,she could literally talk about how wonderful are Donald Trump's views of the world and I would simply and sincerely just smile back...
So true.
Thank you! Am so very glad you did a video on him :D
Great video. I would love to see one on Vitruvius!
It is great to see Dr. Hannah Roxburgh back - so many people want to understand art but don't and she does it in an informative and accessible way...
Also. That voice! :D
She is an actress and she is reading or memorize a script.
This is in line with Jordan Peterson's ideas. He explains that Beauty generates an awe in humans that incentives us to try to imitate that Beauty, by becoming better and as worthy of it as we can.
Very soothing voices throughout the channel.

Good lord, what a truly beautiful woman.
she has a very beautiful voice.

Uno dei geni italiani, purtroppo dimenticati, o meglio più apprezzati da altre parti che in Italia.

+behapfs They do do literature :)
+The School of Life As it happened, fairly quickly!
i love your films on architecture, but I would like to see more of the buildings in them :) but I agree with the rest, her voice is soothing!
Can you please do a piece on grief. Thanks.
that would be interesting
Her voice is amazing 🤩 ASMR
Thanks, Marisol for the good chat and the encourage words before the IELTS (Don't worry if you don't understand, it's not intended to be understood but just by one person)! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Great videos, The School of Love, keep up and thank you for your amazing, well-done videos.
I love Palladio so much
Such a soothing voice
Excellent presentation. Thank you.

Great ASMR, put me straight to sleep. (Good info also)
Awe yes! That dulcet voice of sweetest breath
Well done and most enlightening.
Great work guys!
Please make more videos of architecture
I'm from Venice...never imagined to see my region here :) much appreciated!
Really? It's one of the most important regions in the history of art and culture. It had to appear at any time.
Been waiting for this!!!
Interesting how all of us guys like her voice
goddamnit, the editing and audio work on these videos is crazy good.
Not that the topic of the video isn't interesting, but I could listen to this lady speak about anything.
Dear School of Life,
I am writing in on behalf of my organisation, NUS Harmonica Orchestra, to ask for your kind permission to use your footages and photography for educational viewing. We would be using it during our concert screening to let our audiences learn about the geometry and symmetry in Palladio's architecture.
Thank you very much for the helpful and informative video. We will be sure to give you due credit.

It's pretty cool uploading some videos that show non animated images now and then :) good job
You should totally check out the Dutch Architect Dom Hans van der Laan, he created a distinct and calm architectual style that had a very thought out filosophy behind it.
Oh please, make ASMR videos! Your voice is so soothing
I absolutely love your work. I always wait for a few videos, and then binge watch :)
Awesome video! Can we have more videos on architecture please?
Dr. Hannah's voice is so relaxing I got lost
Hopefully, I'll pass my history exam thanks to you guys.
Could you do a video about Auguste Comte and positivism ???
+Augusto Griffi YES!!!! I immediatly told my Anthropology Professor of The School of Life when he made a class on Comte- i think their ideas somewhat resemble each other ( it's seems to me that De Botton mentioned him in some talks)
Greetings from Piacenza!
Loved this video! Please more architecture videos like this! Maybe a
Georges-Eugène Haussmann video?
palladian architecture explained neatly
Podría decirse entonces que Palladio fue el precursor del minimalismo? Al conjuntar la elegancia， simpleza y funcionalidad en un mismo elemento.
Dr Hannah, You have a beautiful and serene voice
