Great design, great art, and music all share some similar traits. Come learn what they are! 

Thank you for creating these videos. Great timeless information you put out there for free.

This video blew my mind, I never thought architecture went so deep.

Brent is a true renaissance man, something I aspire to be. By the way, the innate beauty of these proportions and patterns speaks to me of the ultimate Designer.

It’s always a great and fun morning when Brent releases a new video - makes my day great.

Love your enthusiasm.

I am really enjoying your work. When I see a good old building it is comforting, and now I know why.

Acoustically, the basic design of the Cathedral invites many challenges. Elliptical forms present concave interior surfaces which focus sound energy. This geometry can potentially create “hot spots” of concentrated sound energy and an uneven distribution of sound throughout the seating area. The concrete base reliquary wall and all of the louvers take on a concave curvilinear geometry in plan and section. To minimize the effect of the elliptical reliquary wall, its surface was faceted as much as possible and tapered approximately 10 degrees outward from the 12 ft. wide base to 9 ft. in width at its top. Openings were encouraged for side chapels, confessionals and for purely architectural design reasons. Acoustically this would reduce the amount of concrete in the base wall and minimize the effect of the focusing geometry. As partial height walls were introduced into the plan of the space, the acoustical recommendation was made to use an open style of staggered wood components in lieu of solid wood. Since the geometry was concave, the open lattice type construction would allow sound to be transmitted through the wall and not be focused into the congregational seating area. The building ceilings were designed to bounce back certain frequency’s 👍👍👍. Enjoyed

Dang it. Now I need to go over my 2nd story addition plans and apply the golden ratio to everything. Thanks Brent 😂. But seriously. Thanks

It’s interesting to consider how to plan small renovations and repairs ($ constrained) to improve a bland design - what you describe as a functional assembly of parts.

This is varry true I was looking at fresco paintings for my Rocco wall moldings to plant the interior and make my girlfriends apartment varry Rocco and baroque in the Italian style.

At 16:45 what was the 3rd style of furniture mentioned? Thank you

Can you start putting links to the books you’re suggesting ?
