Buildings talk. As an architecture student who is generally surrounded by modernism in studio, this is such a refreshing perspective on the how important design decisions are because of the messages they convey and the story they tell. I thoroughly enjoyed this lecture as a great reminder to design "kind" and peaceful buildings for a kind and peaceful society.
I didn’t have professor’s name in mind. I gasped when I saw him! He gave me a very good impression in the “Universal language in stone and steel”. 45:29 on this video and so far so good. I am glad I found this Channel
Outstanding! I could write a million books connecting architecture to earth, humanity, intimacy, the life of Jesus the cornerstone carpenter & the cross, symbiosis, music, an orchestra…
This lecture is fucking feral. It's like. I want people to describe me like this. Wow. At first I was like "wtf why" but now I'm like "absolutely I completely agree."
Architect's must retain the knowledge... *the Beauty is in the Eye's of the beholder* Therefore the world is a splendid canvas to set your eye's upon 🤓
about the barista: do you really need to expose someone like that, just because you probably didn't like the service or for any other reason? would you like to see your face around being an example of something negative? don't you think this is a complete lack of kindness? sorry, but for me it was very arrogant.
The capitals are odd and ugly compared to rest of the building. Why put such work so high were the details can't be fully observed. Putting such capitals above all others reminds of government elites putting themselves at top. The decoration on Arc above the cornice makes it look fat. It's about the ratio. The Mayan building is built with cardinal directions in mind, but looks off without vegetation growing on it. The Mayan temple kind of reminds me of the capitals on columns. Should not the decoration be lower for common peoples to enjoy not just those at top. Actually a vector pattern not a flower. The vector pattern shows up in many Native American and Aztec crafts. The Japanese wood triglyph makes more sense than stone Greek triglyphs. Cosmetic vs function is age old construction debate. I go with function over cosmetic. No the Capital is the head the cornice is the crown look at the words used. Go back to Egyptian priest and their hats and the shapes like the pope wears that cornette really matches to the cornice. The capital and cornet seems to lume over you thus symbolizes rule over people or those above others. Clearly made to impose rule over people. I see the arch as many coming together hold something up. One little speck of iron will make a masonry wall or chimney bleed. Without function you don't have a building just a sculpture. The catenary arches do make great tree looking supports. The capital at base of column makes more sense like the column has grown out of the basket. That many came together and built something. Not those heads at top wearing a crown ruling over others and building upon their rule.

Magnificent lecture. Thank you very much Mr (Prof) Walker
Wow! What a coincidence, i was watching some old videos yesterday, i'm glad there is new content
One of the finest videos on architecture that I've ever seen. Eye-opening on many fronts.

I absolutely loved this. Thank you for sharing these beautiful, kind ideas.
Great! Thanks!

That statement is as correct as your use of apostrophes.
Calling the Romanians barbarians in contrast to the Türks is highly racist. I hope he has been made aware of that.

Davidic Capital found in good condition
Looks like a scroll design
Looks like an aeolitic capital to me not uncommon all over the middle East
