Looking for yourube channels that explain the history behind the construction of medieval buildings but also explain the parts that make up those buildings (for example explaining what an arch is and what it's function is) amd analyse the buildings from a structural engineering viewpoint in an easy to understand and digest format

David Macaulay wrote a series of illustrated books about the construction of various types of historical buildings such as a castle, a cathedral, the pyramids and a few others. The first, Castle was made into a PBS documentary but I'm not sure if any others made the jump.

Edit: Looks like Cathedral, Pyramid, Roman City and Mill were also made into documentaries.
