Mr. Hull you are such an inspiration for me. I’m a cornell architecture student and was discouraged and frustrated with the ideological and frankly dismissive/arrogant way architecture was taught. I’ve been looking for a traditional education on such topics online for a while now and the moment I heard you speak I knew you were competent and knowledgeable (unlike my professors). Thank you for all you do, I really believe it’s very possible that you have changed the course of my life. God bless you!
So nice to hear. There is hope and a world of architecture and design that will fill your soul. I would encourage you to join the ICAA. There is a lot to learn there. Good luck.
quick question, are you a bachelors or masters student at Cornell? I've been considering it for a while but would like to know how the curriculum is what type of architecture they teach. thxs!
@@trips505 I’m bachelors, almost every program is modernist so you won’t learn much in any architecture school (including mine), to put it truthfully. However there are some good traditional schools that actually teach you how to design, like notre dame
I've so enjoyed this lecture, you were a pleasure to listen to and I know I'll get great enjoyment and inspiration from listening to the rest of the series. I'm from Ireland but hearing the history of architecture in America and from all around the world is fascinating. Thank you thank you thank you for sharing, I so appreciate it.
This Building and Brews playlist is exactly what I've been looking for from your channel. Not sure why I didn't see it earlier. Can't wait to watch all of them in order.
The segment on making brick on the build site with the existing clay was interesting. When you visit the Netherlands and Belgium, you'll notice that everything is built with brick. The roads and parking lots are even paved in brick. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that they sourced the material to make that brick from dredging the rivers and canals. Waste not, want not, right?
Thank you Brent your work is amazing Georgian Federal Colonial and neo classical Greek revival antabelluim neo classical and colonial revival style homes exactly as was done in the past.
Great show Brent, thank you! I live in Annapolis, this video and some of your others have inspired me to take a tour of the Hammond Harwood House. Been riding past it for 50 years and have never visited, till now.
Just found this channel! I am working on a geogian style mansion in minecraft and came here for inspiration! 50 minutes in and i hear something id never thought id ever hear again in the modern day: How are we gonna make this building last 2-300s years if X factor is off by X amount? Nothing is built to last anymore, refreshing to hear that statement.
As one who is a builder in Second Life I found this fascinating. Learned so much and look forward to see all the rest in this playlist, as well others videos from your channel. Count me in as a new subscriber!
Great great content! Thank you for doing this. I follow Matt Risinger on IG and saw your IG post that lead me here. I wish you could build me a historical replica of a Georgian.
My understanding and appreciation for architecture, building science and history has tremendously increased from these videos. Thank you so much! Brent is such a great teacher too. A lot of effort went into making this and it shows. Bravo! I really appreciate the education 😊
Hi Brent, really appreciate your videos and have subscribed. Can you link your top5 recommended books? Have got the Chesapeake house already, but love the history and passion you’ve shared for this and would appreciate your insight. Ps, I live 15 minutes from Dayton hall, seems like you’re a fan
Nice! Your very luck to live near Drayton Hall. Yes, big fan. Let me find the books, but send me an email to info@brenthull.com and that way I won't forget.
The floors of Georgian houses (like Gunston Hall) are usually unfinished wood and look more like a subfloor than the hardwood floors we have today. It looks strange to see something so bare and basic next to such grand wall treatments. Were these homes usually fitted out in large or custom carpets to match the walls?
Good eye. Yes, the very wealthy would seek some kind of covering and or paint the floors. Fabrics and woven things were very expensive. In America there are instances of painted fabric for floor coverings. It reminds me that I should do a video on floors. Thanks.
Were more modest dwellings built in the georgian style? As in a cottage or a middle class house. Was it more reserved for quite larger estates? Someday if I'm able to build a house I would like it to be in a classical style and I do like the georgian buildings. Where could I learn more about such things?
Yes, there are more modest Georgian homes. They just don't have the moldings and detail. I would go visit Colonial Williamsburg. You will see all types of modest Georgian dwellings. Good luck.
As desirable as they may be, are these standards fully achievable today? Or, are we restricted to just some materials, like timber? For example, are there bricks available that substitute for the "rubbed bricks" in that beautiful jack arch? Or is it like the situation with wrought iron where the material isn't available, let alone the craftsmen? Glenn
Fair question, my experience is that they are available but they must be asked for. They brick arches on my first effort 10+ years ago, I was told it was "too hard" to get them. After it turned out badly, I pushed harder my second try and found them, and they turned out great. Like all things, we must fight for quality and you can achieve it.
@@BrentHull Point taken. I guess, where there is a demand for something better, yet a hole in supply, entrepreneurial people sense the opportunity and respond. Thus the need to "fight for quality" as you say. And, the more people with this "quality" mindset, on both the supply and demand side, the better.

I am learning more American history in these talks than in school.
LOL. Awesome. I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks to finish carpentry tv for recommendation for this channel
Thanks for coming
Would love to partner on one of these in Charleston with y’all
Sounds fun, send an email to info@brenthull.com and let's talk.

Were those bricks made with slave labor?
I suspect at some level most work was accomplished with some slave labor. It really would depend on availability and on the master brick mason.
