      I particularly appreciate how he doesn’t just display architecture, but explains how history evolved to make the building what it is. The brownstone, the walk up, the railroad apartment, they weren’t random events. They were built that way because it met the needs of the day.

    Lived in NYC for almost 20 years and walked through Central Park almost daily for much of that time, and didn’t know most of what was covered in this. One of my favorite AD videos ever, and certainly one of the most interesting and informative. Well done.

    Once you consider its formation, its history, where it sits, and the breathtaking beauty that just seems to grow each year and this place is one of the most important and significant parks in existence. It's like a chunk of Eden was picked up and placed in the middle of a fast-paced mega metropolis.

    I grew up in Brooklyn. A long time ago I had a sociology professor tell the class, you can start learning about society by looking in your backyard at the historical artifacts in your neighborhoods. Sent us on a journey in less than 2 miles. I'd like to learn what you find about the Arch on eastern parkway, found the statues that commemorate the revolution, into Prospect Park to find the Quaker cemetery.
