What is a great space? How do you know? What are the clues.

[@rustbrio9351]

Every builder or tradesperson should see your videos

[@BrentHull]

How nice! Thank you.

[@richd8537]

Watching this with my copy of The Finest Rooms in America next to me. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@BrentHull]

So cool. Thanks.

Brent, every day you're working is a bonus because you have already created a huge valuable oeuvre of videos , books, and structures. On a national scale, what is the triage we need to focus on? I think the epidemic of ignorant building practices is pretty large. Maybe we just need to keep fixing the next small, high priority problem in our path and encourage others to do the same? I admit the slow pace of intelligent change is hard to accept. Anyway, you seem to be leaving it all on the field in your efforts -- Bravo.

[@BrentHull]

Ignorance and neglect of traditional building practices is the big problem. Education is the answer. I think... Thanks for your feedback.

I live in Utah and would have loved to have been there in person. What’s the best way to stay up date on any other future events I may attend?

[@BrentHull]

Our website. Next talk is in NJ and the Kuiken Expo in November.

[@davidperalta5280]

@@BrentHull Signed up for Newsletter but didn't see NJ in the events on the Hullworks site. What are the dates and venue? Much appreciated.

[@kurtvonfricken6829]

Is there more?

[@kurtvonfricken6829]

I found the whole lecture. It’s on his channel

[@BrentHull]

Yes, more coming.

[@stevenhansen8641]

Very interesting. Thanks 🕶

[@BrentHull]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@alexlatiff4198]

The best!

Thank you!

Tantalizing. Looking forward to more videos in this series - especially for instances where you deal with ho-hum mid-century. Great reminder about chair rail/wainscot uniting window sills. I realized we only have one window in the house that is at what might be considered a normal height (not short and high to preserve wall space or tall and low to let in light). Very near the end you show a doorway that you “punctuated” with a change from ugly casing. What was the ceiling height? Looks to be more than 8’.

[@BrentHull]

Thanks for watching. Correct, that ceiling was 9' or 9'6"

[@yourfacelookslikebut]

Brilliant. I can't wait for the next video. Hey Brent, how did you learn to do presentations like this and how do you continue to improve them?

[@BrentHull]

Good question! I'm a house and building geek. I think it reveals our live and character.

[@Lili-xq9sn]

Brent is the best! But not the camerawork. Please focus on what he is talking about!

[@BrentHull]

Noted.

[@Lili-xq9sn]

@@BrentHull thank you!

In addition to the size, scale and proportions of the moldings and details within the room, it would be great to have you do a video on whether the same ideals were used for the room size itself. For example, I saw a TV show once about the mathematical principles used by the Moors for the Al-Hambra Palace in Spain. Each interior space, as well as the width and height of each door and window opening within the space, the heights of the trim bands, arches, etc were all mathematically derived and geometrically proportioned to each other. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maHadaR6as5laM0 Did architects in early America ever use principles similar to what the Moors used in order to size their interior spaces?

[@BrentHull]

Yes, very much so. I don't know enough about Moorish design, but I do know that Palladio was very interested in the interior spaces. If you look at his designs, that was a clear ratio and proportion not only of individual rooms but also between rooms in the house. Historically architects spent a great deal of time managing these proportions. Thanks for watching.
