Architecture is a lot more fun when there’s a really cute guy teaching it. Keep making these vids.
You know they're a real architect when they mention "zeitgeist" at least once :)
Defenestraton is the act of throwing someone out a window.
Have you ever thought of the architecture of video game level designs? They are purpose built spaces(virtual), meant to convey a certain ambience. Your virtual building walkthroughs kind of remind me of them. A very informative and amazing video though!
Very relevant.. As much as I enjoyed this, I would suggest to do a video on architectural styles.. Where I am from, I observed that many students misinterprete words such as organic, modern, style, green etc... if you could take this up, would be great..
I'm an architect but English isn't my first language so I find these very helpful, I really enjoy your channel and appreciate your work!
It's nearing 10 years since i graduated from arch school & I'm so happy that i just found this YouTube channel!
I love that you brought up the Geodetic. Other mathematical structures such as paraboloids seem to have been forgotten in the recent years, yet they are extremely aesthetically pleasing in my opinion.
Your channel perfectly fills in the gaps left by architecture schools today. Thank you for doing what you do!
Just a minor correction, 4:38 Fuller didn't 'invent' the term geodesic, it had been around for years in mathematics, notably investigated by Riemann and used by Einstein in developing relativity. Great video though!
I rarely add comments to any video but I have to say your videos are outstanding. Clear, concise, educational. Thank you
Ooooh! Enfilade was a new term for me. I really hadn't consciously realized that museums are a series of rooms. It makes sense now because lots of historic places I've visited were residences turned museums. In my mind, I thought of the series of rooms as very residential and French. And the museum was just working with the existing architecture. But even newly constructed museums follow this same concept! Huh! Love the word! Also, YouTube suggested your channel to me today and I immediately subscribed after watching 1 video. The algorithm knows!
Stewart... I've been on a watching spree of your videos.. I really think that you've come up with a great concept.. I've always wanted to learn more about architecture , I'm a filmmaker and this makes so much sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your definition of Weathering as 'visual registration of time'!! so poetic. I will have to look up your referred book. Thanks for the video!
As soon as you said ‘C’ is for Corridor, I knew ‘E’ would be for Enfilade. I still love it when I find this situation in homes. It is so light and airy. I was, however, definitely wrong when it came to predicting which terms you’d use for several of the letters. For some reason, I figured ‘P’ would refer to Palladian (as in a window) or palladiana. Oddly, I’m looking out of one right now as I’m sitting in a suburban AirB&B. Then again, such fenestration references might lead to ‘C’ becoming a modern equivalent, a Chicago window. I also figured ‘T’ would be for Trabeation or Trabeate and ‘A’ would be for Archuation or Arcuate. There are so many terms and so few letters in the alphabet. Good job, as always!
I live in the south sub of chicago i am a retired body shop mjr .Architecture in chicago always fascinated me thank you for the great vids.
I find your definition of "weathering" quite poetic and will therefore be imprinted in my mind. I've never heard it described in that way before. Did you come up with that sir? Beautiful, the way it's put into words. Also, I found an interest in stereotomy, now that you've introduced it to me. Happy, I definitely am.
Great video! I’m a MUPP at UIC and this is both interesting and useful information for planners to communicate with architects. Thanks for posting.
