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.
