    Questo progetto non intendeva rivaleggiare con Versailles. Sarebbe stato ancora più piccolo di Versailles. Il primo progetto per Schönbrunn è stato ispirato da Palestrina vicino Roma

    There is no code, system or A.I. involved. I just used my imagination. I started with a new SketchUp file, made a few arcades, added some Ionic columns (which I had made for another 3D model a few years ago) and so it kept growing following the ideas that popped up. I would be able to do this kind of work using just paper and a pencil, but of course the perspective and the shades wouldn't be perfect

    You are right! Frederick the Great knew Paul Decker's engravings. The plans for the Neues Palais were influenced by Decker's projects. Also, notice the colonnades on both sides of the 'Princely Palace': there were similar colonnades at the Potsdam Stadtschloss, one of which was partly reconstructed a few years ago.

    A few important parts of the original Baroque gardens still exist, like the Cascade and the Canal. The lawn in front of the house used to be an ornate parterre, which partly became visible again a few years ago after a period of drought. There is a video about this ('History revealed')

    Why call it ""Humboldt Forum"" ? Why not "Schlueter Forum" or "Prussia Forum" ? Why give it any strange ""name"" in the first place ? It is the Berlin Schloss, end of. 60 years ago when they reconstructed the Charlottenburg Residence (situated in what was West Berlin) with all its interiors, nobody ever would have come up with a nonsense like that.

  • @markpieters
    @markpieters6 ай бұрын

    Schlüter Forum would be a perfect name! One of the greatest sculptors/Architects of the Baroque. But of course far too 'German'. The name Humboldt is more 'international', the Humboldt brothers spoke French and German, so that is Political Correct. I visited Charlottenburg last year, you can find a video I made about it on my channel. The state rooms in the Berlin Schloss could have been restored like in Charlottenburg, unfortunately this didn't happen...

    Actually, it could have been much worse. The jury chose the 'best' project. At least architect Franco Stella's plan makes a partial reconstruction of the interior of the palace possible in the future. He also was in favor of reconstructing more of the old palace than originally expected.

    So true @miniamo. I'm afraid they were or feared they were running out of money. However, let us not forget that for obvious ideological reasons the totalitarian socialist welfare state did not give a single penny for the reconstruction and all costs were on private funds only.

    It wasn't a money problem. Even without support of the State. Some people with influence tried to prevent the reconstruction of the Schloss. So the result is a compromise, half reconstruction, half modern and political correct...
