Why Americans LOVE to Copy "Beautiful" European Architecture

Hi, I’m Dr. Ashton Schottler. A former teacher and architectural historian with a PhD in Human Geography…. You can say, I like studying communities and I do that by examining how humans across the globe have shaped them. And as someone who has lived, studied and worked in both the United States and in Germany, I especially love the juxtaposition of life that manifests itself from one country to another. From macro-economics down to micro-urbanism, I explore and explain the political economics, society, and culture that shapes the world around you…. And I share all of this through my personal lens of an immigrant navigating that world with you. Uncovering the storytelling behind the data, I hope to keep these topics accessible, easy to understand, and interesting… I hope you will be entertained, and maybe learn something along the way. Do you have a question worth diving into? Well, Type Ashton and let’s find out together.

Let's take a look at American federal architecture - the “good”, the “bad” and the “ugly”... and decide: What does it mean for architecture to be “beautiful” anyway? And at the end of the day - is decrying an official national architectural style based on European antiquity inspirational to democratic ideals or just plain plagarism? 00:00 Intro 02:41 Grecco-Roman-American-ish? 05:53 The Trouble with "Beauty" 11:59 Popular or Populist? 15:01 Is THIS Beautiful?
