The Ascent of Man (Episode 3): The Grain in the Stone

Episode 3, “The Grain in the Stone,” explores how the interaction of hand and brain turns raw matter into tools, buildings, and sculptures, revealing the hidden “grain” or structure of nature that human skill learns to read and reshape. Bronowski moves from natural rock formations and early stonework to Roman and Gothic arches and great cathedrals, showing how geometry, balance, and the craftsman’s imagination give rise to architecture and engineering, and arguing that art, science, and technology are all expressions of the same human drive to discover form and then improve on it.infocobuild+2​youtube​
