Prairie Style (Frank Lloyd Wright)
1. The key concepts I learned from watching this video was that Frank Lloyd Wright changed the way architectures were being built. He had a way of thinking out of the box and and not sticking to the typically layout of a living space. He dislike closed rooms, he found a way to open up the living space and connect the rooms. The changed the way windows were placed and he had a fascination with horizontal line. He wanted the structure to feel like apart of the environment.
2. Frank Lloyd Wright was mentioned in the text book. He is responsible for many great architectures and help to change the way people viewed architecture. The book and video talk about how he was wanted to make his building seem like a natural part of the environment. The book mentions him being responsible for the prairie style houses. The book and video talked about how Wright did away with the typical layout of a house and changed it in a way that made more sense to the occupants He thought about the way he placed the windows so that the occupants were able to take advantage of the daylight. In one of his building he moved the living room to the second floor in order to view the street a a higher angle.
3. I like watching this Video. I really enjoy architecture and I have heard of Frank Lloyd Wright before. It was nice to learn more about him. He was responsible for many building and ideas that are still present today.
4. I chose this film because I have heard the name Frank Lloyd Wright before and I thought it was important to know about him. He is apart of our history and to be educated on this is important in many different areas of life.
Architecture: The science of design
1. The key concepts of this video was to show how high rises are built so the won't topple over. In order to build a building that is structurally sound architects need to know how to design it properly. There are many different elements that can cause a building to collapse. Architects need to know how to plant the firmly on the ground so they can withstand wind, earthquakes, storms ect. The main idea of this video was to show how science plays a role in figuring out how to make these high rises safe.
2. This video related to the text because in the beginning of chapter 13 it is very important to have a strong foundation. If your foundation is weak then within a matter of time your structure will fall. This video was all about that. In order to make a successful high rise the foundation must be sturdy. Architects have to start deep in the ground, placing beams to anchor the building.
3. I enjoyed watching this video. I never really know much about the structure of buildings so this help to deepen my understanding. This video showed me how science plays a huge role in designing a building. It is very important to understand the way thing work and why the work the way they do.
4. I didn't choose this film for any particular reason. I just picked another one. I am glad I did because I think it ties into the chapter very well. The main topic of this chapter was architecture, if you don't understand the science of architecture you wont get very far in your building plans.
