Video Review: Module 7

-Last Call for Plant Earth: Sustainable Development and Architecture

-Frank Gehry: Architecture as Art

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

- From the first video I learned about how construction affects our environment. I also learned the things that designers can do in order to help protect the environment such as installing solar panels.

-From the second video I learned about Gehry's design style. He prefers simple and functional designs, things out the box that are anti-monolithic

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
-It talked about the different techniques in both the readings and the textbook.


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

-I liked the videos because they taught me about the environment and not to be selfish about it. I loved learning about the different ways that we can be more efficient about how and where we are building.


4. Why did you choose the films that you watched?

-I chose the first video because it sounded dramatic, lol. It sounded like a desperate call for Earth and it is but I didn't expect the solution to be as simple. 
-I chose the second video because I wanted to get an artist perspective on what it's like to design something.
