@@Hakaze I've worked with Brent, amazing experience and I'm glad he's leaned into producing content over the years. 🙏 Passing down quality education is so important!

Thank you! 🙏 I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Formally trained in architecture here, 23 years in the biz. I am equally skeptical about unchecked mysticism, but one has to acknowledge that if we wish to develop a building culture that can endure for 1000+ years, the narratives surrounding the education would naturally want to intertwine deeply within a culture. Originally this education was comingled within economically competing institutions, so protecting and gating this knowledge was incentivized. Today those economic incentives are minimized and the education is relatively ungated. However, we'd hope that this knowledge could endure any changing economics or governing systems, and one of the best ways to ensure that might be to imbue such knowledge with powerful narratives that increase the likelihood that motivated persons will safeguard that knowledge through any provocation.

Robin Evans wrote extensively on this subject in his book The Projective Cast. It looks at this subject and more from an architectural perspective.

@@bluedonkeyattack I do have a copy of that book. Just pointing out that knowledge or expertise that is insular tends to run to dead end.

Wonder if the knowledge goes all the way back to ancient Egyptians and Romans​@@ReneSalasDesign

@@AlvinLeong-me3iu the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Chinese definitely had their own version of stereotomy. L'trait is the specific 'language' of construction in the French tradition, which has origins in Greece/Egypt. The language of construction is/should be tethered to history as much as our spoken language is.

Free Masonry and Compagnons share a common origin and split over time (hence the name masonry), the first being referred as "speculative" and the latter as "operative". This common origin is clearly visible from the symbols of Masonry and the name "Great Architect" for God.

Thank you and best of luck! What an amazing and unique journey you are on!

🙏✨

Thank you! It's my belief, that at the end of the day, progress itself is unsustainable if it does not elevate into a tradition.

Thank you for the kind words! Developing and maintaining a rich building culture of craftspeople is critical if we want meaningful and expressive places to live. Enjoy your travels!

Thank you! 🙏

Gracias, Luis!!

Perhaps we can think of l'trait and stereotomy as a sort of cartography of our geometric imagination.

@@ReneSalasDesign i would just comment that at least a non-trivial proportion of that geometric imagination isnt 'ours'... nor am i implying it's from the 'great architect' either

Thank you for the kind reply! There are many like minded traditionalist architects who have found themselves living in an age where the dominate position of the industry is at odds with the humanist values that architects had once held. But I believe the tides are turning as many in the design profession are trying to seek out ways to strengthen the connection between design and humanity and humanities crafts. It is our hope to be able to raise awareness of the lessons from history so that the construction industry can relearn why humanistic traditions are vital for the flourishing of all communities. Cheers.

Hello Emma, the band is Daemonia Nymphe and the song is Dance of the Satyrs. They are a Greek band whos music is modeled off of ancient Greek music and they use authentic instruments. Cheers!

Hello! Sorry for the late reply. I must have missed this notification. The artist is Cody High and the song is Another Night. Cheers! ua-cam.com/video/xTK23_PT7XE/v-deo.html

Ohhh cool! Thank you!!! I may or may not, have watched this 12+ times the week I came across it. Beautifully done but more to the point, super informative. I hope to see more!!!

@@emmashsu Thank you!!

Glad you enjoyed it George!

Hello Brian, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'd recommend two books; "The Artisans and Guilds of France" by Francois Icher and "The Rites of Labor: Brotherhoods of Compagnonnage in Old and New Regime France" by Cynthia Maria Truant.

@@ReneSalasDesign Thank you for sharing this information. Kind regards.

@@ReneSalasDesign 🙏👍

Thank you for enjoying! Yes, I was hoping to eventually get into all the current schools in Germany and Japan, but ultimately had to edit down to keep the presentation concise. There is so much to talk about on this topic. 👍

@@ReneSalasDesign it’ definitly is a very large topic thank you for taking the effort to explain it. I‘m currently doing my master in joinery in germany which is difficult enough, but compared to the art du traits its still very basic.
