Why do ancient buildings like the pyramids, Roman aqueducts, and medieval cathedrals still stand—while modern buildings often crack, decay, and fail within decades?
In this episode of Architecture Explained, we uncover the hidden engineering principles that allowed ancient structures to survive for thousands of years. From thick stone walls and lime-based mortar to gravity-based load paths and corrosion-free materials, ancient builders created designs that were simple, resilient, and incredibly durable.
Meanwhile, modern buildings rely on reinforced concrete, thin slabs, embedded steel, and chemical additives—materials that degrade faster due to corrosion, moisture, and internal cracking.
This video explains:
Why ancient structures are more durable than modern buildings
The engineering materials that made ancient construction last
How steel corrosion weakens modern concrete
What today’s architects can learn from ancient design
Why “advanced” technology doesn’t always mean longer-lasting
If you love architecture, engineering, and the hidden logic behind great structures, this video is for you.
