1. In the first architecture video, the buildings and structures of our time and much more complex than they ever were before. Modern skyscrapers stand tall and the discovery of concrete and steel open up so many more possibilities. Reinforced concrete holds structures up better. Smart apartments and computers make task easier as well.
Classical Architecture-Greek and Roman empires have had a strong influence on generations of architects. Greece had the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian styles, while the Romans had Tuscan and Composite styles. Frank Gehry Video- They also invented the arch. Public building today uses classical architecture.
Frank Gehry was one of the most celebrated architects in the world. His interest in the relationship between art and architecture is evident in his work. He was created some very famous structures around the world and many of them are fascinating.
2. The subjects/topics brought up directly related to the readings. Specific things said of the different styles discussed were the same as in the book. Some of Frank gehry's work is shown in different images in our textbook.
3. I learned facts I didn't know such as the fact that tall buildings may sway up to a few meters in heavy winds. It is nice to see what we have learned in the book and to see it in video because you can make a better connection to the works and ideas after both reading and seeing it.
