One thing I’m surprised by was how Micheal didn’t really touch on the Spanish influences of architecture at UT-Austin, Stanford, UC-Berkeley, and UCLA and how that style is super unique too being more vibrant with its colors and more flat roofs when compared to other architectural styles within the same Collegiate Gothic era.

yeah, overall there are very few west coast or texas examples shown. i guess one could argue that the spanish influences are mostly limited to western schools, but then again you don't exactly see much of the colonial architecture at colleges in the west, so really it just seems like there's an overall east coast bent to the video.

Collegiate Gothic is one of the most elegant styles of architecture in America.

I wanted to be an architect growing up, and while I did not take that path, I always appreciated the architectural features of the buildings on each campus I worked at. Brutalism, postmodernism, and colonial styles are definitely the more prevalent ones at the universities I’ve worked at. Thanks so much for another great video!

7:30 He mentions that Harkness tower uses "stone construction" and although it does use stone, it's worth mentioning that the stones are supported by a steel framework inside the tower. The use of steel was a relatively new model of construction at the time and allowed for towers like these to stand taller with less stone and less money. The video should clarify this if it is also going to point out the buttresses which, due to the internal steel skeleton, acts more as a self-supporting structure than a reflection of true Gothic construction techniques. He also mentions the projecting statues are "gargoyles" but since these are simply ornamental and cannot shed water, these are called "grotesques".

Georgian and Collegiate Gothic are my favorites. My alma mater had all styles (UNC Chapel Hill) but the Georgian style dominates the most beautiful area of campus. Interestingly, the Italianate style of the mid 1800s made its way into some prominent campus buildings as well. I do really appreciate the aesthetic of the glass and steel Bauhaus box architecture on campus, but I still can't get behind most brutalist architecture. I'll make an exception for the brutalist arched chambers of the DC Metro stations, which are inspired by the coffered ceilings of the Parthenon.

The Brutalist, Modernist, and post-modernist buildings were clever for their time (and many employ incredible feats of engineering), but some look poorly and unsightly within just a decade. Meanwhile, collegiate Gothic, Neoclassical, and Colonial continue to create awe even hundreds of years later. Let's stick to aesthetics that endure. We build collegiate buildings not to appease the tastes of the present but to inspire the students of the future. 🙂

but there are also amazing brutalist college that continue to inspire even today. Like the FAU USP built by Vilanova Artigas, that's an absolutely incredible building. But I could mention a lot of examples. Than of course, there are a lot of buildings that are aesthetically less successful, but in general if there's a problem connected with brutalism is not the style itself (which has a lot more variety than a lot of people think) but more the fact that concrete clearly needs a lot of mantainance.

Small correction: Harkness Tower would never have "been a bell-tower in Germany or France"; it is clearly English Perpendicular Gothic in design, with an open lantern at the top, instead of a spire or hipped Rhenish helm. This was quite typical of late medieval English churches like St Botolph's in Boston, Lincolnshire (which I believe was even explicitly referenced by its architect as an inspiration).

Uglier buildings rather than more beautiful ones is subjective, however I understand your point. The answer may boil down to production. More intricate design takes longer to design, costs more in labor and materials to build, and takes longer to build. When the customer has a budget and deadline, function rules over everything else.

Architects, especially famous ones, are notorious for having huge egos. Also, while ur point is understandable, making the buildings “reserved” or without ornament was very radical when they were built. Thats where the ego comes in - an architect that designs a heavily ornamented classical building is acknowledging that tradition and the architects of history have developed a beautiful and refined style, while modern architects are determined to “innovate” (heavy air quotes), and leave their legacy on architectural history. This motivation to disregard tradition in an attempt to start a new movement necessitates a big ego.
