Video Review Module 7

1. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.

In the “Prairie Style” video I got to learn about Frank Lloyd Right and his style of architecture it explains how his style changed modern architecture and it shows example of architects that got inspired by his work to create something of their own. In the video “Architecture: The Science of Design” I got to learn on how science can relate to architecture. I learned that science is used to figure out ways to project skyscrapers from the environment. The last video “Classical Architecture” focuses mainly on the architecture of the Greek and the Romans. I learned how their architecture had a great influence on the architecture we see today.

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?

I felt like all three videos had a lot of similarities to what I read in the textbook. However, the video that I felt related more to the textbook was in “Classical Architecture” because there was a lot about the archeticutre in Europe which I learned in the book as well.

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of Architecture?

I felt that the videos were very informative and I learned a lot from watching it because it gave more indebt information compared to the book I also found it more enjoyable then reading through the textbook.  

4. From the group of four that you had a choice: Why did you choose that film?

From the group of four videos I chose to watch “Last Call for Planet Earth” Sustainable Development and Architecture I picked this video because it was the most engaging. Overall, I enjoyed the video I got to learn different ways to protect the earth from pollution and other horrible harms to the planet.
