  • Ok. “Illiterate Building” is officially my new favorite slur. 😂💀
  • @kiss6917
    "Why???" "Because it looks better that way!" 😂😂👌👌
  • I have never seen an architectural video of this caliber let alone so historic in nature. I wish I've seen your videos 15-20 years ago. It would have helped me on my lectures tremendously. Great job Professor Calder Loth. I'm a fan. ❤️ Love from an American architect lecturing in the Philippines!

    I am a Mexican Architect, I have learned History and Theory in Spanish, and this amassing Professor has explained it just like the books I have read, now in US I am studying all over again in English, I am so lucky I have found him, and no, I won't get my License in this country, Its way to complicated and expensive, they don't focus in the basics but futurism which is not my interest! I design, remodel, renovate and build houses. I am fine with this.
  • So we know that the Ancients knew a lot more about humamity than we know about what they knew. Golden ration is the key to all the beauty. Bravo Prof.
  • Superb. Attention to detail without being boring is what I love about these presentations. Explained perfectly and I love how the connection with ancient words/expressions is described
  • @nefwaenre
    Youtube finally did it right and recommended me this. i had attended a MOOC from Sapienze College of Venice on this particular topic and so i'm absolutely delighted to watch this! Thank you!
  • @VexaS1n
    This is education on the highest level. Thank you for this excellent resource!
  • This series is the best ever. I have a PhD in Comparative Arts and have watched Dr. Loth's videos over and over again. These are THE best lectures on understanding the foundations of Classical Architecture in a concise and deep way. I lived a few blocks away from Loth in the Fan (RVA) and always admired the way he kept his home and garden/alley so original. I could only aspire to emulate the way he taught and applied classicism in his everyday life, work, and career. Calder Loth is an American Treasure.
  • I took one year of architecture school, 20 years before giving up. Recently I started reading the 600 page architectural history textbook which i had saved all these years since I still love architecture very much. The textbook takes pages after pages of tedious explanation with very crude illustration to cover what you have here beautifully, in a very succinct and easy to follow manner . Thank you very much
  • As a remodeler of residential structures, I welcome this series, it's integrity assist me with a period correct Architecture to improve obsolete dwellings.
  • @Clemeaux_
    This may be my favorite series of all time. I cannot wait to teach my kids this!
  • i would give anything of the 20 and 21 century has to offer just to be able to live and walk in those wonderfull classical buildings.I was never a fan of history and architecture when i was young but traveling made me realise how much i adore greek and roman buildings and how sad i feel that so few survived...

    Thank you very much for this lecture series! I have never seen such an elaborate, yet accessible explanation of the rules of classical architecture. Hugely inspiring, and a great incentive to investigate more deeply the ancient traditions of the classical way of building.
  • Amazing Amazing Bravo Encore. I only knew three as a modest novice. Now I'm fluent. Will watch multiple times and now I want to explore the city and take pictures. This guy needs keys to some cities.
  • The etymologies of the architectural terms were super helpful to me. It really helps me remember a word if I can connect it to other words I know.
  • I am blown away. Thank you so much for producing this excellent series!
  • As an amateur builder working in the tropics in some difficulty with making myself understood, I've been enriched by this video treatise.....thanks...
  • I learned a lot just by watching this wonderful video! Thanks for releasing such an amazing content online for free.

    I took a history of architecture course once and I loved it. The teacher lady was so engaging explaining the technical aspects in the cultural context and philosophical. My point is, it is very easy to make these kind of lectures extremely dull. It is like the lecture is held by a clerk or an accountant.
