In 20 years even new skyscrapers will be torn down to create newer eyesores. In 1,000 years Roman architecture will still be wonders that inspire awe.
True
99.9% of Roman architecture has been torn down or destoryed. Most of what survives is the best of the best. To imply that there won't be a similar number of modern buildings still marveled at in 2,000 years is based on nothing but historical bias. The Romans would have marveled at the Empire State building just as they marveled at the pyramids.
@@MichaelMcmanhory-ms9mr There are entire Roman Town and or village that still have most of their architecture intact to the citizen house to public buildings, and they are all marvellous to see, with sculpted column and such, you are ignorant, if you think Roman would be impressed by building that look like some disgusting turds if we today with our degenerate notion of "arts" don't find them that impressive I don't think the Roman would beside the size of it they would certainly wonder "you can make building of this size with such ease, but why not make it pleasant to look at ?"
@@titiusvicinius7041 There's only one person demonstrating ignorance here, and that's you. Citizen homes were by definition the homes of the 1%. 30% of the Empire were slaves, half the Empire were women (who did not own property or have rights), and another large percentage would have been children. Then when you factor in that very few freemen were actually citizens (especially in conquered territory), you begin to realize that Roman citizens were the elite of the elite. The vast majority of people lived in wooden slums or in their master's housing. Nowadays even slums and housing projects in the West are made with brick or stone, with insulation lining the walls to keep you warmer than a nobleman in the year 0.
Now, with this context, compare the apartments of the top 1% in New York today to that Citizen housing in Rome, and tell me which you would rather live in, historical bias aside. The choice is clear. We are far wealthier today, have access to a greater number of building materials, have the technology to make new designs work that would not have been possible 2,000 years ago, and can import from a global supply network. The Romans would see a home made of marble and glass and view it how we view the sleek, shiny designs in a science fiction movie. We live in a world beyond their wildest dreams, yet we still act like we have somehow gone backwards from a design standpoint. The entire US Capitol city is built in the Roman style, yet I don't see you or any traditionalists drooling over it. That is because it wasn't built thousands of years ago and it does not suit your narrative. It's about age, not actual aesthetics with your ilk.
@@titiusvicinius7041I doubt they wouldn't be impressed by our technological advancements.
Need to remember that these architecture still survive to this day and also built centuries ago,imagine without any modern tools,they can build such a masterpiece like this

And most of these are Western-style architecture, it doesn't include the breathtaking styles of Chinese, Indian, and many others.
I think that's because the complaint the video is trying to make is that in the west the art of developing beautiful buildings has gone away. Not that that isn't a thing all across the world. I think that westerners are more vocal about it.
Yeah, the whole world has stunning architectural heritage. Now we only have the same concrete cages all over the planet 🤢
i thing islamic architecture was extremely crucial to architecture as a whole, it influenced architectures in much of the mediterranean like spain and italy, its kinda crazy how they werent included. far east and indian aswell yeah, but still i love old western architecture
@@hospitaliergaming9317 Islam hundreds of years ago had some very advanced mathematics science as well, around 7th century to 13th century

"But modern buildings are better because they are more efficient"
Yes, more efficient in provoking me suicidal thoughts.
It’s not just about efficiency, it’s about the concrete. Old concrete is much longer lasting than the stuff we use now, but modern concrete is easier to make and cheaper. The search of profit has destroyed architectural beauty.
I believe we need to strike a balance. We need these buildings to house as many people as possible, but we also need the architectures of old so that there is some beauty, and quality in this world, and also to give a good-looking shelter for the upper middle class and the upper class who can afford it.
And our economic and political systems all over the world need to be fixed to get this balance.
Both capitalism and socialism will never create the old kind of architecture which we love and appreciate everywhere, because on one end we compromise on beauty and quality to help as many as possible, and on the other end we compromise on beauty and quality to make it as profitable as possible.
And both these extremes occur because the greedy and corrupt politicians work for themselves and not for the nation.
0:25 if anyone wonders, this one is Hadrian's Gate, located in Antalya, Turkey. Amazing place that is!!! And the atmosphere around the old town is immaculate, feels definitely like old times...
Nowadays, buildings are built with nothing but financial concerns. Back in the day, they were built with passion...
And love
different times require different solutions..its "that" simple..
Indeed, we used to live like humans, now we live like cattle.
Hahaha passion and love, also by the command of tyran or mindless prick king who given up lives of thousand of slaves on castle cooler than neighbour's
@@igfferftygee2194 That's true as well, they were pushing architects to the limit and scaring them by threats. But the vision, the brain the artistic view all belonged to the architect which they dedicate their life and all effort they got into their work. Rulers only provided motivation.
I like modern/contemporary achitecture but when it feels alive, not all grey and straght.
But still, past architecture are the most glorious
Brutalist architecture is based mald more
Tadao Ando and Lloyd Wright had/have some genius ideas how to make modern architecture more ... "liveable", even though they used a lot of concrete.
@@h3nry_t122 Bro, peasants used to do pilgrimages to, see those and most towns had at least one church. Let's cut the bullshit and say it like it is: our modern world is fugly.
@@h3nry_t122 Old houses are fairly well built as compared to modern houses. The same principles they used to build their houses are still used to this day, in several aspects older homes are actually better built and made from stronger material than the normal modern home. Some houses even use the same material like stone that are used in building the massive churches, fortresses and castles that stood the test of time. That's why we can see some really old houses still standing even if so many years pass and the modern home is lucky if it survives for 1 or 2 decades before it's rebuilt. Back then things were built to last, now they were built to be replaced considering modern advancement makes it easier to do. Architecture back then was also considered a sacred practice. Craftsmen and workers spend their lives mastering the thing they learned from their parents or their teacher. Master builders make master works.
On the topic of peasants never seeing it or coming even close. Remember these are really tall and massive cathedrals that can be seen even at the cities edges. Houses mostly don't go taller than 2 stories so anybody can see the campanile in the distance if they look up. The architecture in the video are also mostly churches that are intended to be used in service, so these peasants are allowed inside and mostly occupy the lower aisles and seats. The everyday peasant has seen and have been in these places. If the common man is not allowed in these structure then what was the point of building them?
People love older architecture because of the raw passion and beauty they exude. They may be built for the rich, the church or whoever but one thing is clear - these buildings were made with the pride of masters who spend their lives finding out how to make something that will still stand until the end of time.
@@h3nry_t122 folks gush over it becouse it looks pretty cool
I believe that modern architecture exists only so that there is contrast and we can enjoy historical architecture
A lot of modern architecture is here to be efficient. Except for a few bold initiatives, it is not to display power or richness, or it is reserved for very few buildings.
That wasn't architecture that was an art
I live in France and I haven’t seen many locals being really impressed by our architecture. Like of course some people will visit The Eiffel Tower/Arc de Triomphe… But every town has its own church/cathedral with a different style, even cities way smaller than Paris, like Rennes, have a lot of different buildings ans I can say I’m never tired of descovering them (checkout Albi’s cathedral if you want to see some real style).
My goal is to basically visit all Brittany,from Brest to Nantes. I find it more underrated than any other region of France.
@@EllinikiDimokratia Bro you’re touching my feelings I’m literally from Brittany and I can tell you can find some nice spot
it's probably because we have such boring and drab architecture here in North America that we marvel at you Europeans.
@@EllinikiDimokratia If you go there, don't miss going to Normandy too, the cliffs of Etretat and the Mont Saint-Michel are marvels too
I live in near munich in germany (a city wich I belive has some of the most buteaifull buildings in the world) and people when asked about their opinion on these building are often just looks good i guess , I am also so glad that here in bavaria grey blocks are very rare
Seriously, why'd we get rid of arches and domes? Like they're so cool wtf
Well, we still use them, but non in the same way. The reason for that is his technical use and the modern concept of curves.
We don't use stone for structural functions anymore, and arches will be less cost effective then an armored concret lintel even if you would make your house with bricks.
We still use domes but with a very different geometry, parametrically generated, in contemporary architecture.
It's my dream to somehow find a balance between classical- and contemporary elements. That's somewhat, what I am striving for - to imagine the future we just have to look at the past.
@@Judah132 A lot of architects since Mies van der Rohe tried this way. I've found it's not worth the effort.
@@Merluzz I think you can do it pretty well when refurbishing and/or building with existing structures.
@@Judah132 No... classicism is not copying the character of ancient architecture. It is a matter of adequate study of proportions, buildings typology, urban morphology, correct use of materials and structural forms, all of them to be meaningful.
Mt Saint-Michel is such a gorgeous structure, I always wanted to go there, only ever saw in history books.

Architecture Revivalism needs to become more mainstream
Tons of structures from the eclecticistic and neoclassical period are rotting or destroyed. What needs to become mainstream is a focus on refurbishing and preserving existing buildings. Buidlings older than the 1970s shouldn't be destryoed / cities and/or privat owners should have valid and scientific reasons why to destroy them.
Yes it should. And it is possible to create this architecture again. 😌
@@javierpacheco8234 it is not possible because the technologies used for those buildings are irrelevant as well as architectural phylosophy and patterns of that age. it would look like some shitty parody.
@@senatuspopulusqueromanus2082 how are they irrelevant? Architecture still uses materials from the same planet to create it. Steel replaced iron pillars back in the late 1800's and they still use the same methods for building construction. Once to have the structures skeleton of frame then thats when you start creating the design you like. There are companies that make stonework, woodwork, metalwork, anything, you just find it.

@@crazypantz3492how so?
It's expensive, whilst taking a lot longer. Don't expect much from a society that values convenience and ease over beauty.
Architecture enhances our existence by affording us to see the world in new ways or even see new worlds previously inaccessible to us. Architecture's ultimate goal is to be art. We need to use generative (digital) tools to helps us create art, not just construction and design.

What is important is that in this video an example of modern architecture includes only affordable housing. And the example for past architecture are buildings that are very important (such as churches, castles, etc). If we look at buildings that people were living in during most of the history, we will see nothing but slums.
Sprawling slums or tents
Not true, but even if - the monumental modern buildings (made with the same mindset, using the same tenets) come nowhere near the majesty of traditional monumental architecture. With few exceptions, of course.

@@MrCoroby OP claims video shows only affordable housing. Yeah, the majority of examples were housing units, but not all of them.

Bro dropped the hardest building edit and thought we wouldn't notice
I normally think that, in terms of architecture, effectiveness is more important than looks, but I think we should build more beautiful buildings just because we can
problem is humans are not perfectly rational automatons. Looks ARE effectiveness, among other things. Many modern cities are so ugly they end up getting people depressed and anxious.
We live in a era where we have way more wealth then we ever did in history, And instead of innvoating and creating unique and beatiful buildings, We create copy and paste skyscrapers across the entire world. While tall buildings are neassacry in some places,, They aren't needed everywhere.
Bro, there are brilliant architects who really agree with what you say - however construction is a giant business and only in rare occasion really art. Next to a brilliant visionary, a good project also requires politics, diplomacy and local participation to create something nice everyone can be proud of.
I think we start realizing to hurry up and stop wasting material for art. Art looks cool but when put into practice, it’s useless.
@@Bluecheese1400 Art is not useless and if you think so then i kinda feel bad for you. I can't even conceive a cosmovision were art is useless.
If you were a religious person, you would agree that art is necessary for humankind to connect with the beauty of the world and the divine. If you were an atheist, you would agree that art gives meaning to an otherwise meaningless life. And even if you have an absurdist view were nothing ever has meaning, if art makes you feel good why won't you?

Modern public buildings can also look pretty nice, it just depends if someone is willing to fund it. Personally I like many of the ones shown in this video, such as the Boston prefecture and the Cathedral of Brasilia.

The concrete slabs of today look almost dystopian in comparison to ones the of old.
@Blitzkrieg Van hauten this
The best little dark age video out there. Well done
The video editing is top on this one
Do you know editing app?😅
Humanity peaked as architects during the gothic era.
*baroque
We haven't peaked. Not yet. We're just in a slump caused by corporate greed and postmodernism.
@@theexistentialnihilist2070 yep
Не зря архитектура в Вархаммере в таком стиле. Вернее там очень многое придерживается этого стиля
@@theexistentialnihilist2070 I hope you are right.
If i was a dictator i would ban two things modern art and modern architecture
hmmm, and maybe bring so form of neoclassicism and make it the one true art form of the Reich...
and, that sounds familiar
@@elliotbroadhurst7142 Hitler Was actually very inspired by old empires and always said that what is left of an empire is its Architektur, Like pyramids or all the Roman buildings. There were Plans for a big Berlin that should be Like the rome of our time, i dont think that any big Art Project Got evet really finished tho since his Plans where completely over the top and unrealistic
Wont be a dictator for long without modern defense buildings, good luck using castles gor you defense against tanks and helicopters
@@Deaglan753 good luck using your tanks and helicopters against my 1000 years old catapult
I thought architecture as an art that will last a millenia or at least 5 centuries, But now it's just a mass produce building with a lifetime of century.
This is incredibly underrated, subscribed
This is edit is so good
Golden Gate Bridge: Built in 4 years spanning 4200 feet over water and nearly 100 years old.
Modern Bridge over some road only 175 feet: Built in 2 years and collapses in less than a year.
Bruh I bet I can find plenty of modern bridges that were build fast and are long and sturdy and plenty of old ones that did not survive to the modern day
This is one of the best edits I've seen so far
this is such an amazing edit
Would've loved to see some Art Deco architecture too, like the Empire State Building, I think that's also a very beautiful architectural style, when people were still caring about how the buildings looked and they weren't just squares with windows.
I study Architecture and if im honest, its only now in my 3rd year that i realise we need to embrace the type of order that Vitruvian/Palladian Architecture gave us. Theres so much we can take from it
How popular is that view among your fellow students / alumni ?
@londonspade5896 quite popular, I dont have interest in architecture as a career path anymore but I'd say the moment my friends understood the fundamentals of palladian architecture, it made the first stages of designing a space much easier.
I think theres a bias though, all of us had this one tutor at some point in our bachelors that absolutely sold us on palladian architecture. I'm sure theres other schools that do the same for abbasid, or persian, or gothic for example. But the way my tutor put it, palladian architecture is the backbone of any architecture thereafter in the west, so its a good place to start if you want to be a good architect. Lots of nice rules to follow, which helped me as i have adhd and need a bit of order in my thinking
@@deechonada hello, you stopped your studies?
@koanzx1 yeah i graduated the Bachelors but i didnt continue, so im considered a part 1 architectural assistant, which is the first stage of becoming a complete architect. I'm more interested in Product Design/Design Strategy/UX now
All comments about architecture aside this has some of the best editing of any of these edits I've ever seen.
This video is absolutely beautiful
this is by far one of the best little dark age edit i saw
I liked how you used the brazilian National Congress as a example of bad architecture. It remembered me of how most brazilian cities looked ~100 years ago, there were plenty of Beaux-Arts, Colonial, Art Deco and Neo-Classical buildings. Now, almost everything looks like the buildings from Brasília. Thank you, Oscar Nieymayer
Concordo plenamente
I remember back in school, teachers made me almost worship Nieymayer, 2° grade, they made me do several presentations about him (because I was always good building dioramas, and I built one from the Congress - Which may I say, was depressingly easy to do) and I grew up thinking he was a hero. But now, mainly after studying politics, I realize how much wrong I was
@@sporebryan2000 (suponho que você seja brasileiro) cara, eu já gostei bastante do Niemayer no passado também. Eu até acho algumas das obras dele bonitas, como o Palácio do Planalto e a Catedral Metropolitana de Brasília por exemplo. Agora, o Congresso Nacional, Esplanada, Palácio do Itamaraty, entre outros, são horrorosos. Isso sem contar aquelas coisas horrendas que são predominantes nos bairros habitacionais nas duas asas, um monte de blocos de concreto. É triste que esse tipo de construção tenha tomado conta na maior parte das cidades daqui.
Rio de Janeiro era lindíssimo. Destruíram quase tudo em nome do "progresso". Agora só tem um monte de prédio quadrado cinza ridículo. Triste demais.
@@joaodorjmanolo Em parte do Rio pelo menos há uma certa organização, os prédios são juntinhos, quase não há muros, calçadas padronizadas, e alguma coisa dos estilos antigos sobreviveu (menos do que era mas ainda em número razoável).
O padrão nas outras cidades grandes é pior: mesmo nos bairros ricos, um monte de torres isoladas com formato esquisito e muradas, recuos bizarros, calçada quase inexistente e desorganizada.
Muito disso, herança modernista parada nos anos 70.
Old architecture gives me a nostalgic feeling, I don’t know why.
The only way to build sustainable housing is to build houses so beautiful they'll never be destroyed
Portuguese:
Ao ver a arquitetura clássica, tanto da Europa quanto de outras culturas como a da Arábia, ou da China, vejo que a arquitetura moderna é muito horrorosa, não há um toque artístico como no passado, o qual demonstrava poder, vida e a arte daquele povo! Se formos analisar da mesma forma nos dias atuais, hoje o mundo ou é quadrado, ou é redondo, sem cor e sem vida, apenas algo mecânico.
Nossa siiimm!! Hoje em dia é tudo a mesma coisa, é muito feio
Tenho que discordar em relação a catedral de Brasília (arquitetura modernista), acho muito bonita e viva. Ademais, tenho a barroca como minha favorita, tanto pelo fato de ter crescido no interior e ser de família cristã, como sentir a paixão em casa detalhe da construção.
@@caioaraujo8080 é um dos poucos exemplos, ja o palacio e a esplanada são meio feias
@@caioaraujo8080 realmente, Brasília tem umas excessões. Eu gosto bastante dos palacios do Planalto, do Alvorada e do STF, além da catedral metropolitana que você citou. Esses exemplos que eu citei são bons exemplos de arquitetura moderna, uma pena que a maioria dos projetos não seguiu essa linha.
Arquitetura moderna é Artificial sem cultura e tradição um reflexo de nossa sociedade moderna
BRO I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR THE SEVERAL MONTHS, YOU ARE GENIUS
The international space station, CERN, three gorges dam and plenty of other modern mega projects that are masterpieces that took the efforts of generations and unlike cathedrals actually serve a purpose: guess I’ll go fuck myself
You can’t spell architecture without art

I love these little dark age videos, they give us glimpses in a past far more beautiful (in looks and appearance)
I live in a village composed of beautiful, cozy, hundred-year-old German-build houses. They have that lovely homely wholesome vibe to them and i wouldn't trade it for anything else. Im so proud to be from it
nice video bro, i love architecture
Probably the best litle dark age edit I've seen so far. gg wp for this man
Old architecture : beautiful, holds value, and lasts long
"modern architecture" : what if block but big
The international space station, CERN, three gorges dam, Panama channel and plenty of other modern mega projects that are masterpieces that took the efforts of generations and unlike cathedrals actually serve a purpose: guess I’ll go fuck myself
As an architect actually I also like the modern architecture.There are still good examples.But of course the gothic and roman architecture is so close to perfect.
To this day best edit I have ever see
To Architects, Follow your dreams and make beautiful structures.
ONLY architects design buldings
@@bispo5671 oh, my bad
As a Brazilian, I love the fact that you putted Oscar Niemeyer's trash as an example of what not to do in architecture. 🇧🇷🇻🇦
God Bless
Só faltou colocar a catedral de aparecida
@Vax , oe Não, lixo ainda dá pra reutilizar e fazer algo bom. Niemeyer é só pra queimar mesmo
@@ericklucasmenezesdelima570 Exato
@Vax , oe É, ele é reconhecido por modernistas '-'...
@Vax , oe um pedaço de lixo comparado com as arquiteturas clássicas, veja qual te salta os olhos, obviamente quem gosto por bosta tem, de bosta gostara.
we need to build more featureless grey cubes but have stylized baroque architecture on the inside
Now that's the kind of game-changing thinking I like to see!
Its better if both were outside and inside beautiful, why would you just want it oustide?
@@olivercuenca4109 what game changing idea? that's just a horrible idea, it's better if it were both. Not 50 percent.
@@javierpacheco8234 Are you familiar with the concept of ‘humour’?
Isn’t that already true?
