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
So are you going to build a castle or something?
Look out for documentations about Guédelon, you’ll probably like it.
Absolute History has a ton of their content on YouTube. It’s a BBC show following a historian and two archaeologists as they live like they’re in that time period.
They have a 1300s one, a 1500s one, and a Victorian era one, so probably 17-1800s
Not really a channel dedicated to it but there seem to be a lot of episodes of secret of the castle on YouTube. There was a castle being built using period accurate techniques and they filmed a documentary while they were constructing it.
Guédelon Castle in France.
OP, you could start by looking up videos about that
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.
