Mod 7 Video Review

1.     For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Architecture: The Science of Design.
-Substructure- I didn't realize that buildings sat on these great substructures
-Building Swaying- It’s amazing how much a building sways during wind.
Prairie Style
-Open Spaces and Numerous windows
-Making the building part of terrain
-Chicago influenced prairie style because of the flat land   
2.     How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The videos really bring to light some of the intricate details of the text but do talk about a lot of things that the text does not mention. It did have an article about Frank Lloyd Wright which related to the video.
3.     What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of Architecture?
The videos did bring some depth to my understanding of architecture and made me realize that there is a lot of engineering that goes into it. I really like that something with so much science can be twisted into things that are so beautiful. It reminds me of the discussion we had about craft and art. This is one of those examples.
4.     Why did you choose the films that you watched?

I chose the frank Lloyd wright video because of the connection with Buffalo. I chose the Architecture: The Science of Design because it sounded up my alley.
