Video Review

Architecture: the science Design

1.For this video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

The key concepts I learned from the video is that concrete is the most versatile and in demand material. The Roman Empire used concrete which was made up of Sand, pebbles, broken stone and cement. The world is growing and cities are becoming more pact  where there is no space architects tend to build building a little bit higher. There is a lot of factors that come in to play when architects have to  build building an that is the environmental factors.

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

The video and the reading relate because the reading discuss seven diferent ways that construction and how they help in architecture. The video share the foundation  of early concrete structure but the book goes more in depth with it giving examples and detailed line diagram to where you can understand how the architect build the building.

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of Architecture?

The first film I believe was very informational but a little out dated to where we are now. The video goes in depth by giving examples on how building are made but also how they keep standing. They added depth by giving examples and just giving us a foundation of how architect construct buildings.

4. Why did you choose the films that you watched?

I chose the video because I believed it would have giving me an insight into what architectures do and how they do what they do. The video gave me exactly what I thought it would have the science behind architecture.

Frank Gehry: Architecture as Art

1.For this video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

The things that I learned in this video is that the architecture doesn’t like repeating his self meaning he likes the buildings he creates to be unique in their own way. Frank Gehry wants the people who see the building he builds to have an emotional response to it. The buildings he creates are not just like any home they are a work of art.

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

The video and the reading relate to each other is  Frank Gehry was the first architect to take advantage  of digital design and manufacturing. The book had a lot of information on Frank Gehry and his work and the video gave a more personal perspective on how he creates building and what his mind set is like during that process.

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of Architecture?

The film to me was very long but informative and little bit entertaining. The film goes in depth about it in a way because it made me see the architecture process in his eyes and how he see the building he created because that was always a wonder of mine.

4. Why did you choose the films that you watched?

I chose the film because I wanted to understand and see what architecture goes through and their process to creating the buildings the build.
