arki m - that's architecture history (magellan parody) lyrics
[verse 1]
before 9000bc from africa
humans spread from south europe to asia
they were living in rock caves _ like lascaux in france
until they built shelter, they were nomadic men
but the built shelter they made was temporary
teepee, wigwam from animals they could carry
except the tumulos, the corbelled_roof clochan
the eskimo igloo and desert hogan
and then religion were shared by communities
they built megaliths _ stonehengе a cromlech
dolmen was a tomb, on top was a capstone
it is arrangеd in cove and trilithon
[refrain 1]
then the people began to farm
mesopotamia rivers they start
khirokitia has plans, jericho is old
there are no streets in catal huyuk
then the summerians built ziggurats
the babylonians hung some plants
assyrian palace have chambers called khan
the persians persepolis clans
then came egyptian architects
the first one was imhotep
mastaba, temples and pyramids
khufu and gizeh the best of egypt
[verse 2]
on 800 bc emerged the greeks
age of agean, h_llenic and h_llenistic
perfected proportions, optical corrections
the orders doric, ionic, corinthian
when columns go around its called peripteral
it starts from attic, base, to shaft to capital
then to the architrave, regula, frieze, cornice
if column is a girl its called caryatid
[refrain 2]
then the romans discovered concrete
barrel vaults, plumbing in cities
pantheon, forum, and curia
domus, insula and villa
then the spread of christianity
made basilicas and baptistries
enter from narthex, atrium to nave
bema to apse yes jesus saves!
but in the east its byzantine
haggia sophia on pendentives
back in europe was romanesque
pisa has towers, transept and faces west
[chorus 1]
o flying butress is gothic
the notre dame was the first of it
rebirth and rustic was renaissance_
the st. peter’s has many plans
last bernini, first baramante …
[verse 3]
and… then the people tried to be irregular
they curved baroque, paint rococo pastel colors
and on the 18th up to 19th century
city beautiful hit washington dc
then came the modern home insurance skyscr_per
as frank lloyd wright build organic falling water
they’ve mass produced the glass, the concrete and iron
applied what louis said: “form follows function”
[chorus 2]
behold art deco is geometrical
while art nouveau is natural
van de rohe said “less is more”
but venturi said “less is a bore”
then micheal graves built mickey mouse
it’s not a synthesis like bauhaus
now let’s go back to india
where there is stupa and mandira
now let’s visit china’s great wall by shi
observe j_pan’s tori, ken, tatami
see islam mosque _ mihrab face mecca
it’s filled with squinches and muqaranas
[chorus 3]
o filipino architects
bahay kubo, bahay bato concepts
from tabon cave, then came magellan
till metal church san sebastian
o there are two san agustins
one for earthquake, one for bombing
from prehistoric, to this century
that’s architecture history
that’s architecture history
that’s architecture….history
[outro]
that’s the story of humans
with or without floor plans
from long time ago ladies & gentlemen
