I also think the adoption of modernist post-war architecture in the UK was for cost reasons - we were a poor nation in 1945 and it was convenient and quick to turn to concrete blocks. But of course a lot of it has proved short-sighted and/or poorly constructed, and much of the post-war output has itself been replaced

The sad reality is that architecture today has moved too far away from ornament - architecture has become a byword for “cheap” in appearance

Fantastic video

Very interesting aspects about the sustainability of classical architecture - much of it could be applied today, as well, but unfortunately nothing of this is taught in current architectural chairs at universities

So, how serious is this law/clause? By how much does it restrict people from building a house in the country side? If it's as discussed.....a whole list of hoops to jump through, it comes across that it's only for the rich, and just bureaucracy for everyone else.... leading to more money being spent. I'm unsure, but the whole 15 mins city & "you'll own nothing and be happy" from the WEF sounds here

Thank you! Love this to improve my knowledge!

Wonderful series of videos. Thank you very much.

I thought Barry did the HOP.

Excellent interview full of common sense arguments relating to sustainability and aesthetics

Thank you for your upload video 📹 surely George Thomas Hine should be mentioned.

Really enjoyed the lecture! Thank you very much. Was very much taken aback when you showed the picture of Selfridges on Oxford Street. I lived in Chicago for 15 years and immediately thought "Why has he got a picture of State Street?" When you said it was designed by Burnham it made perfect sense. It is definitely the "Chicago School"" of architecture and--while more ornately detailed--feels similar to the facade of Marshall Fields (now Macy's) on State Street, Chicago. (For those who don't know--like Oxford Street in London. State Street in Chicago is the center of downtown retail for the middle/upper middle class.)

7:38 "... where an architect, one of the elite, would decide what we're building and no one building it has any influence over what it looks like. So basically the builder/craftsmen become a machine for producing what [someone else] wants." Sounds a lot like Modernism.

Tectonic and A-Tectonic .

Place de la Bourse Bordeaux

Hence "The Architect's Dream" Thomas Cole - Toledo Museum of Art. "What style shall I choose there are so many to choose from"

Thank you very much for this lecture. We learned a lot. What struck us the most was the desire to make buildings make their inhabitants feel loved.

Catholic belief isn't that a piece of bread becomes flesh as it touches the tongue, as the speaker mentioned. Bread becomes flesh with the act of consecration performed by the priest at the altar, before consumption of the Eucharist.

Sorry, but Catholics and Protestants do not believe much the same thing, still. Just because we're not killing each other now doesn't mean there aren't still huge differences.

Glorious, interesting and good fun

Why wasn't Art Nouveau popular in the UK? Was Arts and Crafts the equivalent of Art Nouveau in the UK and America? There was a big difference in taste between the continent and UK/America during that time.

Wait I realized at 27:28, you'd said he's ahead of the times, but it's funny because it's almost like, well he isn't ahead of the times so much as he is the times yet to come. He wasn't playing catch up prematurely somehow, it's the inverse. :p

at 8:38 you mention a false dichotomy, artist vs architect. but architects are artists, and I believe I recall a quote saying that architecture is "the first of the arts".

Genius, pure genius

Thank you for uploading these lectures! It's my favorite way to learn about the history of architecture in Europe

What minutes did the neoclassical

This was a fascinating conversation, going far beyond the nuts and bolts of some obscure regulation. It touches on so many truly essential and important aspects of how to make good architecture. I don't even work in the UK and I found it very informative. The discussion on local materials and character was especially interesting. It brought to mind a book that was so formative for me when I was an architecture student. It is called "The Pattern of English Building by Alec Clifton-Taylor. I have a question - To what extent can smaller homes meet the criteria? There are many reasons, including but beyond financial, for why people may want to build smaller but to a high level of quality. Are smaller country homes being approved through this process?

Wonderful lecture , thank you.

Could you help took about high baroque ornamentation differentiating it from the early and late baroque ornamentation

Beautiful lecture, thank you

Actually, as the first painter you showed, William Holman Hunt, wrote in his 1905 biography the pre-Raphaelites loved early Raphael paintings, they just didn't like the endless copy cats. Ofcourse still a great lecture.

Yeah, that's not how the Catholics believe the Eucharist works, lolol

thank you very much

Very understanding class, I would like to know about the secret passages some houses had and the smart ( I don’t know how they called that) cabinets or furniture they built at the corners . Thank you .

discussion of architecture suddenly turned into one of religion.

Can somone point me to where I can see how these beautiful buildings were made? Like the process of construction

What a fantastic important video, wonderful video thanks so much!

I felt like I am an architecture student in the class. You explained it really explicitly, loved it!

Wonderful lecture! Thank you so much.

Very educational and informative

Excellent addition to my Architectural Design lectures. Thank you.

3:32 "that's where you're wrong kiddo"

THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR IT IS REALLY HELPFUL AND VERY INFORMATIVE FOR ARCHITECURAL STUDENTS

Great talk! Thanks for sharing it.

A poor grasp of the Eucharist & Theology generally.

I wanted more personal insight in understanding architecture-particularly the Victorian era. This certainly did it-earned my subscription!

Good lecture but too many umms, errs etc., always a distraction.

A very clear explanation about Barroc style. Thank you very much

Great class,will definitely watch all the others on this series
