Module 7-Video Reviews


1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
The concepts that were discussed in prairie style as are follows; the connections between nature and the structure,also with the person whom is going to reside in the structure.the nature connection is to make it feel like the structure belongs there. That the structure came from nature is what all the architects kept emphasizing.
The concepts that were discussed in Frank Gehry:architecture as art, the fact that the structures are a resemblance of the ancient buildings just with little twists of modern ideas. These structures are open and much thought is put into them.
 2.How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The videos related to the text by exposing with each architect that this is a well thoughtful process these people do, and with the influence of previous structure they try to become better for the individuals and for nature as well. The quality of there work is what they are striving for,like in the videos these structure looked like they were built yesterday but it was in the 1800's. the ideas from modern life and incorporating it in to the structures is also a must.
3.What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of Architecture?
I really liked the films, I liked the prairie the best because it was straight to the point. The other video really dragged on and repeated itself a lot. But however it did go in depth about why current architects believe this talent is art.
4.Why did you choose the films that you watched?
I selected the first movie because it was shorter in length and also I had no idea what prairie style homes looked like so I wanted to learn something unfamiliar to me.
I also selected achitecture is are because I have never heard of frank Gehry before so that was a new person, also I wanted to see the rational behind why this talent is considered art.
