Video Review

Prairie Style
1. The key concepts I learned from that video is how the environment and design should be harmonious. I also, learned that Frank Lloyd Wright was very influential in the concept of buildings blending with the environment and not taking from the surrounding area. The place where you are going to build has great importance because the interior of the house should have a strong relationship with the landscape outside.
Architecture: The Science of Design
1. The one thing that was the most fascinating is that skyscrapers actually sway with the high winds. That if a building is not properly built that you may be able to feel this sway. The substructure of the buildings have to be able to accommodate dead weight as well as living weight.
Classical Architecture
1. Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome are very influential in modern day architecture. Classical architecture reflects the needs and values of that time. The buildings along the classical ideas are proportionate, harmonious and often have columns.
Frank Gehry: Architecture as Art
1. I like the way he thinks. He didn't make plans but his work is often derived from his current feelings. He felt as though buildings should create an emotional response and that you should have a sense of feeling when inside of the building. The building should interact with the human response.

2. The videos relate to the text because the covered the different architecture designs. The one thing that really related to the text was Frank Lloyd Wright. The text gave a brief description of his work, but the video went into m ore detail. The pictures were nice because you can see how the nature and house blended together. The open floor plans seem to blend with the outside of the homes.

3. The films were nice to watch. The added more meaning because it gave more examples and pictures, which made the concepts of the book solidify in my mind. It makes look at buildings a little differently, as far as the columns and the way windows are situated. If indeed this building compliments its surroundings or take away from the earths natural beauty.

4. I choose the last video because of the title. It seemed interesting to see the correlation between art and architecture. I also wanted to see if there was a beauty in the building beyond the interior decorator designs.
