Thank you for highlighting the renovations and restorations of an historic structure! What a great idea for a UA-cam Video that I hope you'll make into a series. I will watch every one! I don't know that I can pick a favorite historical building, because I love so many of them! I'm a huge fan of classical architectural styles, so restoring those buildings always gets me! So here's a list of a few historical landmark buildings I love: Mount Vernon; Old College at my alma mater, University of Delaware; and Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest, just down the road from me near Lynchburg, VA.
My favourite restoration that I've seen in person is Koldinghus Castle in Denmark. It's a 15th century castle that was partially destroyed by a fire in 1808. They only started restoring the ruin in the 1990s, but instead of restoring it to its former glory, they made all the new structures very visible. I thought it was very well done and a great way of preserving the building for the future.
Is it weird that I am fascinated by that super long fire escape on the side of the building? :) This vid makes me want to go learn more about the building!
So - that was added in the early 1900s because the city mandated the fire escape across the 7th ave facade. At some point though in the last century actual enclosed fire exits were incorporated in the building thus (I'm pretty sure) the exterior fire escape isn't used anymore in an actual fire emergency. But the fire escape itself is preserved as a part of its history.
Huh! Very interesting... looking at two photos on wiki from 1896 and 1910 you can see the addition of the escape. I wonder if it ever went to the ground with a ladder; I can't tell in the 1910 photo. Otherwise it just goes from one door to another one in the building, lower down (maybe connecting inside to a stairwell?). I'm also just learning about the artist lofts that used to be on the top floors... what a fascinating building! Even more storied than I'd realized. :D
Great video! Thanks! One suggestion though: it's seems there are some FPS inconsistencies throughout the video, which is causing a bit of a sluggish camera movement in some shots, along with some very small freezes every second. This is usually due to framerate conversion (converting from 24 to 30fps, or 29.97 to 30fps, etc). Checking that all videos used are in the same rate can improve this (otherwise, resampling can make them look a bit smoother).
You may be interested in the Christchurch Arts Centre restoration. 1880's gothic revival, undergoing a complete repair and strengthening following the earthquakes.
One of my favorite National Historic Landmarks is the Saturn V rocket at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL. It defies the expectations of National register additions. I adore the renovation of the White Stag Block in Portland Oregon, which is home to the University of Oregon's PDX design program.
I discovered your channel only a few days ago but after 3 videos I subscribed to the channel. Thank you for all you do :) But I'd like to underline that every building is as important as the others, so I think we have to recognize the potential of every building and develop them into new projects without demolition; it mustn't be a prerogative of historic buildings. I'm only a student and I don't know if this fear of demolition comes from my italian being, but for this topic I suggest you this project: polo universitario Santa Marta in Verona, by Massimo Carmassi :)
Can see it from our hotel, right now the outside is covered in some type of fabric 🤷🏻♀️ that has pictures of the building . You can’t see the original building now
i hope for more info on that, like how it differs from buildings and natural landmarks such as the more recent additions of the Botanical Gardens in Singapore.
This look amazing! A building like this is what you’d expect to see around London, though their heritage is much more crazy there, and some aren’t quite original thanks to World War 2
I still think it's a shame Carnegie Hall kicked out its legendary tenants Bill Cunningham and Editta Sherman instead of simply waiting for them to join the Great Beyond, saying it needed their apartments for telemarketing boiler-rooms.
You forgot part of "our unique cultural heritage" ...and that being...all the artists who were tossed out of the Carnegie lofts to make way for commercial development - where's that part? Don't care much about the corporate redevelopment of those spaces -- they were great before... less so now - the character & unique cultural heritage has largely been stripped from that once-great enclave of artistic creativity. See - "Lost Bohemia" by Joseph Astor, former Carnegie lofts resident.
single glass windows (in nyc) are strange, most buildings from turn of the 20th century (1890-1910) and up to WWII in central europe had box-type windows (?) with two planes of glass (10-20cm gap between them). these can be renovated to reach almost double-glazed (IG) insulation window values. also, renovation in this case is often the smarter choice, as the walls aren’t insulated and with IG you can easily run into moisture/condensation buildup.
Only you can. Start organizing your countrymen and do vigorous protesting. Then find an architect to show how the old can be incorporated into the new and present it to city planners.
Great great video! Only made better by my brief cameo. :D
Where? I didn't notice it.
I maybe wrong but 1:34
Quality Upload! This channel needs more subscriber!
Such a beautiful building. Nicely done video Betty!
UA-cam still has a shortage of quality architecture content, thanks for filling the void!
Great video, I enjoyed all the information about how the rooms were designed. Keep up the great work!

just perfect!
Your way of explanation is very good. Thank you for sharing this type of knowledgeable Architectural videos.
so that's Carnegie Hall? I always here about it on the NPR. Very neat. I like the noise isolation for optimal music practice

Cool. You go Siemens!
Not a company I think of often. But yes, sponsoring a video like this was cool.
Thank you for this video... but I need more... more... make more!
Haha thanks!! That’s so good to know! I’m trying to make as many of possible for you guys ^_^
Acho lindo esse Teatro

I have been to the the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville and have seen the Saturn V rocket! It is indeed amazing to see in person!!
First two examples that come to mind are my grandparent's house (a civil-war era greenstone farmhouse in Pennsylvania), and the Space Needle...
Wanna give this place a visit when I go to New York again
Okay let's do it.
This is so cool!
Great vid!
Wait did they put trees in the rooftop?? Wow
Love this videos you guys need more subscribers!

Gosto muito de teatro
I wish all UA-cam videos were of such quality!
Can see it from our hotel, right now the outside is covered in some type of fabric 🤷🏻♀️ that has pictures of the building . You can’t see the original building now
You know your video is great when another awesome UA-camr comments #City_Beautiful ｡◕‿◕｡
Nice video, very well done, nice topic, but what is most impressing is your sponsor.
Do you have a Patreon?
Not yet! But currently I do have a page where you can donate any amount at anytime: ko-fi.com/articulations
Enjoyed it, Loved it. However I was expecting more about UNESCO conservation codes, conservation guidelines and ethics. Maybe next time :)
i hope for more info on that, like how it differs from buildings and natural landmarks such as the more recent additions of the Botanical Gardens in Singapore.

Sounds a lot like the various refurbs the Sydney Opera house has also had in its (much shorter) lifetime.

Volume on this video is way too low lol I have to turn my iMac to almost full volume.
Our Escolta Manila's Deco art buildings are for demolition particularly the Capitol theater. Who can help to stop this?
Only you can. Start organizing your countrymen and do vigorous protesting. Then find an architect to show how the old can be incorporated into the new and present it to city planners.
Historic buildings in Los Angeles aren’t renovated but demolished
Sad. Have they not heard of landmark laws ?
It is funny how it is necessary to explain WHY we designate historic landmarks
The fate of Penn Station in New York is the painful example that kicked off the historic preservation movement.
