Oh wow her voice is like melted butter

[@kadachi2959]

How would you describe melted butter?

[@im_mabe5922]

Omfg that voice is the best I've ever heard

[@Muscari]

How come everyone in School of Life has a narrator's voice as sweet as honey?

[@gothsurferdude]

+Iesvilla Lucretius said it made the 'bitter draught' of important yet complex information go down easier. Granted, I think he was talking about using poetry at the time, but I think a calming, gentle voice has the same effect. Dr. Roxburgh and Alain de Botton have mastered this, in my opinion.

[@davideguly7488]

omg, I ADORE her voice!

[@im_mabe5922]

+The School of Life that voice is the best I've ever heard

[@jonbezeau3124]

School of Life's voice training department is its best-hidden secret

[@GodOfVictory501]

Dr. Hannah Roxburgh is actually the voiceover artist/comedian/actress Roisin O'Mahony.

[@leoross4918]

Dear school of life, do you plan on making a "music" section where you talk about classical or modern composers or musical styles and their effect on society or culture?

[@SelfishNeuron]

+The School of Life Oh cool can't wait to see the Electronic Music section

[@o0MRG0o]

+The School of Life / Leo Ross That is a great idea. I've always felt I needed a hand, or an ear in appreciating music that hasn't been machined to be "easy" to listen to particularly classical music.

[@bmchd-up3cj]

+Leo Ross They could do a section about cinema and director too... Not just Hollywood productions; but also, French movies or the Japonese masterpieces

[@randyham273]

+The School of Life I can see how that would be difficult. I've taken a course on music history and almost didn't pass. It was a lot of information for sure.

[@JYthemusicguy]

+The School of Life If ever that group needed an intern or something, I would absolutely be willing to apply :D . The lens through which this channel views other arts can help with understanding the deep and meaningful lessons that music can teach us, especially the works of the masters.

[@raltommo]

YAASSSSS ! THE QUEEN IS BACK !!! Oh man I could listen to her read the phonebook. Pure bliss !

[@charlesjoseph7505]

+Mimosa E. she's back!!!!

[@ddwalkerjr]

What other videos has she done?

[@kapilrana5075]

Palladio had this beautiful girl's voice in mind when creating calm, harmony and wonder in his architecture..and her face when building simple yet elegant facades.

[@Anthony755]

This is the most informative ASMR video I've ever seen. I love it.

[@joecoolmccall]

The fact that her voice is relaxing could be an indication that our lives are too stressful and distracted.

[@Ryan-xg5my]

Can she read to me every day?

[@r.t.dominguez1717]

Ryan C... i know!😳 her voice is so soft... damn! And looked hot too!😅

[@ManYaBlood]

Please, make more videos about art/architecture and literature. You post videos like this so rarely and there are many subjects to cover.

[@barelmizan207]

+The School of Life Can you please have an episode about Leonardo da vinci or jacque fresco?

[@buonalaminestrina]

I'm from Padua, and I grant you that this zone of Italy is filled with this kind of architecture: there are lots of "ville", holiday houses for the renaissance nobles or rich merchants who lived in Venice during the rest of the year to make business. If you want relaxing holidays in a sunny, calm place where you can see pieces of art like these, come visit us!

[@6dney_]

ahhhhzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@grigoriosgkasdaris3477]

Wonderful voice!

[@albertoprogida8977]

Hello from his birthrown! I'm always delighted by his harmonious and beautiful buildings... Thanks for this video!

[@Blissbb]

Being just another educational video, I was sent here by my art teacher. No wonder this is exceptionally beautiful! It's by The School of Life!

[@bi8koto]

The Dr's Hannah voice tone and pattern is a soothing massage to my brain.I would love to see more vids with her or just her narration.

[@GodOfVictory501]

Dr. Hannah Roxburgh is actually the voiceover artist/comedian/actress Roisin O'Mahony.

[@ArchitecturalAesthetics2046]

Lovely voice. I like this host

[@92134885]

I could listen to you proclaiming Vogon poetry for hours.

[@andremuniz6623]

Man I love the voice of that lady, I could listen to it all day long. Besides the fact that the video is quite educational and enlightening, I think that the most beautiful thing this videos teach us is how to narrate, which is by its own merits very hard. Congrats the school of life, keep the magnificent work going!

[@Lululululee]

LOOOOVE THIS VIDEO. Awesome channel. The concept of dignity on architecture is , sadly, commonly forgotten.

[@alexnpe]

That voice, It's like honey dripping in my ears. Amazing

[@iamzafkiel]

How mesmerizing that voice tone, sweet Jesus! It's so good that made me remember my teachers, with their voice tones looking like angry geese...

[@pvtpain66k]

I found my mind wandering repeatedly during this one. I think it's how soft her voice is or her cadence.

[@the_pudding_boy8834]

I could listen to her for ages,she could literally talk about how wonderful are Donald Trump's views of the world and I would simply and sincerely just smile back...

[@BrandonB...]

So true.

[@videodaniel8945]

I for one am very happy that she is back

[@mattswede]

This is a wonderful video. So inspirational. I hope many city planners and architects would watch and take note..

[@Luboman411]

OMG, this woman has such a soothing voice. If I have insomnia, I'm going to keep in mind to put this video on to doze off to slumberland. It's like cream butter to the ear...

[@seahawk124]

After a video about serenity in architecture, I think a video on the works of Frank Lloyd Wright is in order.

[@jungtou]

Her voice is so calming and soothing......wow

[@mkt-7]

I have never looked at buildings this way. This is amazing

[@Peat1192]

Great lessons Dr. Roxburgh. I would love to see some videos about landscape architecture in the future if possible.

[@OhYeahCh]

Spanish & Italian renaissance art is my savior please cover someone

[@raashiraghunath6889]

I absolutely love your work. I always wait for a few videos, and then binge watch :)

[@Psidi1]

I could not have sensed better the calmness and dignity of the architecture of Palladio without Dr Hannah's voice and explanations.

[@bolivar1789]

Watching this beautiful lesson, I remembered that on his speech about him, John Armstrong said that Goethe had this need to search for soul mates from the cultural past. And one of his soul mates was Andrea Palladio. It was like having an "imaginary friend". So Goethe would have long conversations with him there inside his head. How very practical! This made me think that if we wanted to adapt Goethe's habit, Hannah would be a great imaginary friend for us too:-) An excellent teacher with such a beautiful mind and pure voice. In fact, probably as many of us do, I also remember the valuable insights of these lessons always with Hannah's voice. By the way, for all friends who are as ignorant as myself about architecture, I highly recommend Alain's great documentary " The Perfect Home", which you can find on his other youtube channel. Here is the line I loved the most from there: " Beauty is goodness written into matter."

[@bolivar1789]

+Bobby Shmurda Hey Bobby, thanks a lot for reading and for your message:-) Best wishes!

[@vladorukavina8728]

Her voice makes me feel heavenly!

[@michaelkavanagh9806]

Thank you for the excellent video. Can you give a reference for the statement: 'Palladio held views on architecture .... One of these ideas is that architecture has a clear purpose which is to help us be better people.'

[@sail2byzantium]

Beautiful presentation by Dr. Roxburgh--elegant, calm speaking voice, reflective of the very architectural virtues she notes with Palladio. Nice work!

[@dr4aces]

Fascinating video - I had never heard of him bit his ideas are simply beautiful. Thanks for enlightening me.

[@SuperGreatSphinx]

Andrea Palladio (30 November 1508 - 19 August 1580) was an Italian architect active in the Republic of Venice. Palladio, influenced by Roman and Greek architecture, primarily by Vitruvius, is widely considered to be the most influential individual in the history of architecture. All of his buildings are located in what was the Venetian Republic, but his teachings, summarized in the architectural treatise, The Four Books of Architecture, gained him wide recognition. The city of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

[@vanyakalinka8305]

Is this section of the channel dead? I miss hearing from this nice lady.

[@Earth098]

Palladio was indeed one of the best architects ever lived, and created a positive influence on the built environment across the world. Thanks for the excellent video!!

[@hikarikimikokiyoko6592]

You guys at the School of Life are the greatest. Wish the better of you all.

[@flamingmuffin666]

...her voice .... I need more

[@sierrarazz]

I would love to see an episode on any of the following: Tadao Ando, Peter Zumthor, Zaha Hadid, Renzo Piano, Santiago Calatrava, Louis Kahn, or I.M. Pei These were some of my favorite architects I studied in school. I'd love to hear your take on them! Thank you for the fantastic content!

[@northof6041]

I am obsessed by the work of those architects you named above and would love to see documentaries on their work as well. Are you an architect also?

[@jbt6007]

I enjoyed learning about Mr. Palladio and very much enjoyed Dr. Roxburgh narration

[@Jake-kn3xg]

Do Art Vanderlay's architecture.

[@pooponmychest]

pppppllllleeeeeeaaaaaasssssseee

[@danwroy]

A style known as Tippie Toe

[@houstonnewman4196]

I love it when Dr. Roxburgh does the art/architecture videos!

[@Shmancyfancy536]

An architect without an ego, LOVE IT!

[@o0MRG0o]

Thanks for the video; made me think about the way UI can, intentionally or otherwise, trend towards a Palladion aesthetic.

[@carlbyronrodgers]

Great,thank you. Renaissance Principles ,Balance,Order and Harmony.

[@OscarMarohn23]

I hope you guys do a very detailed video on friends, how they're necessary, balance between friendly relationships and romantic ones, etc

[@YuriRadavchuk]

It's interesting to notice that a polymath and an architecht Buckminster Fuller had a similar notion of purpose for architecture but he stated it more clarly. He said, that we need a revolution in design so that we can by its means transform humanity and survive the potential of extinction.

[@aquilavictrix5480]

I'm from Venice...never imagined to see my region here :) much appreciated!

[@jmiquelmb]

Really? It's one of the most important regions in the history of art and culture. It had to appear at any time.

[@izhan6991]

Such a soothing voice

[@Sigi0]

one of my favorite architects of all time. I love his work, and I love how you present him! thank you

[@MuitoDaora]

I love the ART/ARCHITECTURE section, but I would like to see a DESIGN section.

[@ocsvcsvcsvo]

So much more to architecture than I thought

[@Bezeoner]

What a beautiful voice!!!

[@XDspacemanJD]

[@stephenblackwell7351]

Awe yes! That dulcet voice of sweetest breath

[@aurachroma]

Outstanding Hannah. It warms the heart to hear you say "a seductive portrait of our calmest and most dignified selves." The Four Books of Architecture are...well, hundreds of pages...and I'd love to hear you read every word.

[@suginami123]

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@GodOfVictory501]

Dr. Hannah Roxburgh is actually the voiceover artist/comedian/actress Roisin O'Mahony.

[@rafaelberges813]

Please do a video about Le Corbusier. I visited the Villa Savoye this winter and couldn't believe the calm and harmony it made me feel.

[@Juanan89]

She's back!

[@Goanna1993]

Great video. I would love to see one on Vitruvius!

[@nicole1528]

I like her voice! :D

[@soniachaudhary5654]

Can you please do a piece on grief. Thanks.

[@channelx7761]

[@fathursoebono7857]

she is back! the most delicious voice is back, thank you!

[@somecuriosities]

It is great to see Dr. Hannah Roxburgh back - so many people want to understand art but don't and she does it in an informative and accessible way... Also. That voice! :D

[@ismelliketrees3972]

She is an actress and she is reading or memorize a script.

[@cyork1288]

Well done and most enlightening.

[@kaizer8280]

LOVE IT!

[@gr8life12]

I was destructed her whispering yet soothing voice I seriously felt drowsy!

[@altynaistar3779]

[@per_ringnes]

love it!

[@user-qe8du8uv1b]

Her voice is amazing 🤩 ASMR

[@GodOfVictory501]

Hannah Roxburgh is dreamy

[@14daik]

she has a very beautiful voice.

[@TheGschwartz86]

his architecture is like the human body and it's organs..everything is needed and fits with everything else seamlessly as if it was a singular organism.

[@PlushieBirds]

Been waiting for this!!!

[@linguaphilly]

THE PHILOSOPHICAL MEDITATION GIRL! YES!

[@HINRG14]

[@fisstaschek]

Dr Hannah, You have a beautiful and serene voice

[@slidewineder3953]

goddamnit, the editing and audio work on these videos is crazy good.

[@adam90854]

Could someone tell me what book the window diagram at the 3.34 mark is from? As far as I can tell it's not from his Four Books of Architecture...

[@yashgupta4433]

so finally a video on architecture.. please do Antonio gaudi next and please make more of such videos...

[@SW-zx3op]

Very interesting! I’d like to know more about the geometrics used in Palladio architecture, is their meaning or a symbiology connected with these shapes? For example, on the same building one row of windows are decorated with triangular hoods, but others have domed hoods - what is the significance of that?

[@omercanakin]

Hopefully, I'll pass my history exam thanks to you guys.

[@claudiamarianidamato9499]

Done reading these comments they are all about how amazing her voice is smh

[@gregorypalamas4998]

Noted... LOL.. Nothing about Signor Palladio who influenced a whole host of architects through the generations..

[@alipourchamani2553]

stunning aechitect

[@ramondjspolanco]

IT IS MONUMENTAL in proportion though Andrea Palladio work destined to influence architecture up to the end of time… matter of simplicity, then symmetry form acquired its finest enriching upon the classic orders enactment. We shall call him The Tuscan Architect as he intentionally conspired with God to intermingle his divine inspiration through the very serenity of nature. Humane into highest impersonation of the self… heart and soul are taken into complete sublimation through invigorating thus harmonious habitat, where the observer is privileged to fool the passing of the ages through an imaginative arch of grandest statue and frescos designed to attain unlimited inventiveness and unimaginable rejuvenating living. Ramon D. Js.Polanco R.Santiago, DR28 May 2018

[@123ShaaaaN]

MORE ARCHITECTURE VIDEOS PLEASE!
