Science of Design
For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
This video describes the technical aspects of building large structures, such as using deep pile ons anchored deep into the earth for structure, the swaying distance from the wind at the top of a skyscraper is much larger than I expected, and how the future of homes is automation.
How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The video helped to explain some of the more technical aspects of architecture, especially of very tall buildings, and how an architect must be aware of these aspects while designing a structure.
What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of Architecture?
The ‘home of the future’ in this video was amusing, as any videos showing the current time from a past person’s perspective usually are. I liked the explanation of how they keep extremely tall skyscrapers from falling.
Why did you choose the films that you watched?
I chose Science of Design because the title made it seem like it would be about the math and technical aspects of making a safe building.
Prairie Style
For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Frank Lloyd Wright created the ‘Prairie Style’ with a wide open floor plan, horizontal living spaces that match the horizontal lines on the outside of the house, windows all around, and it was designed to blend into the landscape, instead of defining it.
How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
The video gave more insight into Frank Lloyd Wright and his design philosophies, especially his prairie style of architecture.
What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of Architecture?
I liked this video because it was concise and informative. I believe that I would now be able to recognize a structure built in this style immediately, which to me means the video was successful.
Why did you choose the films that you watched?
I had heard the term ‘prairie style’ but I wasn’t sure what it meant and wanted to learn about it.
