    I took an art history course this summer and I can say without any doubt in my mind that it is a LOT easier to learn about architecture in a video format than from a textbook, oh my god. Make more of these please!!

    Insanely well done for a first video. No dislikes, 64 subs and 1500 views from a first video is also quite impressive. Really hope this channel grows, looking forward to new videos!

    How did they do it? Did they carve the whole thing from one big block of stone. All the pieces look connected and have designs on them. I don't get it.

    This was a good presentation, but there is one historical flaw. The pointed arch was not borrowed from Islam, but from Byzantium engineers (which continued to develop the Roman/Greek culture and advancements). The so-called Islamic contributions before the Middle Ages were in fact taken from the Greco-Roman repository (remember, the conquered regions were mostly Romanized).

    if we are going to use your argument then I can say that the Greco-Romans got their architecture from ancient Egypt, Sumeria and the levant region since they are known to be the first civilisations on earth....so whats your point? You guys are/were the greatest?!

    Yes and no. The window from Exeter Cathedral that is shown in the discussion of rose windows would not normally be referred to as a "rose window" even though it has a circular element incorporated in it. This is obviously part of a large pointed Gothic window. The term "rose window" refers to a window that is circular, not one that incorporates tracery making a circle. Secondly, the other rose window that is shown is from a 19th century church, Saint Matthias, in Richmond, London. (that appears to be my photo.) The glass in that window is also 19th century, so neither is appropriate to use when describing what is genuinely Gothic. Given that there are rose windows in France that have their medieval glass intact, both the Exeter example and the Richmond example were very poor choices. There is some discussion about the local differences and the fact that English medieval buildings have an emphasis on the horizontal. The example that is shown is Westminster Abbey. This is ridiculous, as the emphasis of the SIDE view of the Abbey is plainly vertical, not horizontal as the building is bristling with vertical buttresses and has the highest vault of any medieval church in England. In fact, this is the WORST example that could have been chosen. The horizontal emphasis is more apparent on the INSIDE. If an English cathedral appears very long on the outside, then it is usually because its Romanesque (Norman) plan was already very long before the Gothic additions or improvements. The facade of Orvieto Cathedral is shown (Italian) accompanied by statement saying that the features and structure remained the same. No. Actually, anyone who looks at Orvieto facade can see plainly that they did NOT. Orvieto and other Italian buildings frequently retained many Classical elements in their design which were not Gothic at all. For example, although the nave windows in Orvieto are pointed, the nave arcade has semi-circular arches. Externally there are no apparent buttresses, flying or otherwise. Gothic differs more in Italy than in any of the other countries, because of the strong Classical tradition.
