HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE IN SKETCHES: Gothic Glossary

  • 20 terms related to Gothic architecture you probably don't need to know :) With help of my sketches I'm presenting and explaining here the most significant elements of gothic architecture . They're set in (almost) alphabetical order: from "Aisle" to "Wimperg". You'll see here hand-drawn architectural details, cross-sections of gothic cathedrals and drawings of two gothic superstars: cathedral Notre Dame in Paris and St. Owen's Church in Rouen.
    EDIT: Transepts are of course perpendicular to naves (not parallel). Sorry!

      @@GrimDream I imagine it will take just under a month to complete. I've been a woodworker all my life and nearly 20 years ago became a Master Woodcarver. This Bookcase will be the first project in turning one of my empty rooms into a Gothic design office. :D

    I love how clearly illustrated everything is. I haven't heard the term "wimperg" before, just gable or main gable.

    • @GrimDream
      @GrimDream  Рік тому +1

      Thank you! Ah yes, there's a little difference between wimpergs and gables, as the former are purely decorative elements and can be added even to rectangular walls (above windows or doors for example).

    This is amazing. I had never understood this before. It's all confusing if you try to read what these things are. I have never been to any Cathedral(I doubt there are any in Northern India, at least not any famous ones) so it used to be tirelessly confusing to imagine what written descriptions were trying to picture.
    Thank you.

    Pinnacles are NOT DECORATIVE elements.
    They were made as heavy as possible (sometimes with lead) because their weight helps to contain the forces.
    In gothic architecture everything is about handling the horizontal forces of the main aches with the minimal amount of material.
    - Pointed arches instead of round => smaller horziontal loads
    - Extra vertical load of the pinnacles => direction of the load is more vertical => smaller buttreses

    This was the most entertaining video I have watched in a while! I can't promise that I will remember all of these terms tomorrow, but I am sure I'll remember a few! I was wondering, do you have a perspective drawing tutorial somewhere/are you planning to make one? I would be eternally grateful 😇

    I never understood the necessity to put a name in each element of architecture, so which names ought to put in a Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona??

    • @vitriolopinxit
      @vitriolopinxit 6 місяців тому

      All elements in la Sagrada Familia, from structural to ornamental ones, are simply traditional (gothic, to be precise) elements adapted to a catenary arch based structural work and Gaudi's take on Catalonian art nouveau taste for decoration. If you strip decoration and focus on structure, what you end up with is a gothic temple with no pointed arches. Some other technical innovations are purely based in removing or slightly shifting typical elements, such as for example exposing the start of the arches to make the pilars resemble trees by removing part of the filling of the vaults.
      Names come in handy for any field of knowledge and craftmanship: if you can name a thing, it means it has a purpouse, it's meant to be there.
