Video Blogs Module 7

Architecture- Science of Design-


1. Key concepts learned- There were many concepts that I learned throughout this video. Most of which I had no clue even were decisions and choices while creating a building. I learned that wind blowing on top of a 100 story building is 4 times more violent then on a 50 feet building. The buildings need to have 5-7 seconds to cover farthest and current position, this can cause motion sickness, stop of elevators and damage of the structure. Experts determine how buildings and their surroundings will react under thrust winds. They compare data to meterological statistics from the past 10 to 20 years to predict weather conditions.
2- This video relates to the text by showing us the same type of high rises and buildings. They also both talk about the structures and creations of buildings.
3- I really liked this film I thought it brought more detailed and descriptive images and was a eye opener for how experts create buildings. I never knew there was a whole side of research before building something. This showed me more of a depth of understanding architecture by showing experts steps of how they do things.
4. I choose this film because it seemed interesting while looking through them. I am glad I chose this one because I actually was interesting in it and wanted to learn more.

Frank Gehry- Architecture as Art
1. During the 20th century there is always moving chaos which falls onto sense of movement. Gehry says he felt that what you put in a building connects with the people in the building as well. It gives people feelings and is humanistic. Gehry designed malls, apartments and buildings all around the world. He also developed his own architecture vocabulary that would eventually determine large and sculptural form.
2.In the text we read about other architectures and their experiences, creativity and works. In the video I got the opportunity to learn about another architect.
3. This video was a little bit more duller then the first one I chose. I liked the parts where they showed Gehry and him working on pieces of art.
4. I chose this film because I thought it would be interesting to see and learn about an architects works and past. I like videos that goes inside someone famous or well knowns life.
