Better than a 2 hour lecture on Greek civilisation.

This is hardly a little known fact to anyone but those that have absolutely no knowledge or education in architecture (or any other art / engineering profession).

If the video is actually targeted at that category then good job. A little more background info on each order would of been more interesting / fun.

[kroookru]

so the tuscan is just like the doric? except for the base?

[pwader]

thanks this really helped tell me the diff between a doric and a tuscan order, the latter has a plain shaft. Cheers!

How odd, i have a presentation in 4 days about the characteristics of the different orders!

Really good stuff as always, i might reffer people to this video.

I guess the classical style is an acquired taste then. No one is asking you to copy someone elses style. it's just that the classical style actually works and is understood by a lot of people.

yes, they made technological breakthroughs.. but that doesn't mean we have to lick their ancient asses by mindlessly reproducing their design criteria on a structure like some cheap horrible icing on a cake...its just madness...nonsensical madness...

[leodavester5]

What would architecture be today had it not been for the Greeks and Romans?

[luishomeroremohsiul]

you know this is the part i consider BULLSHIT about studying architecture..learning about all these nonsensical design criteria.aspiring architects need to cut all that garbage from their minds and focus on sustainability and green design.. on innovation and solutions that have a social, political and economical benefit...on EDUCATING through intelligently designed buildings how people should interact with and treat this planet correctly...there is more to architecture than this useless shit...
