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.

For example: red may be looked at as a elegant and fierce color, but in some images it may be used to describe anger or distress.  2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why? -A theoretical aspect of color that fascinates me is that some words or school subjects have a color registered in our minds. Also that some colors can make us feel hungry. This is interesting because I've never thought of it in this depth. The furthest I thought of a color was "What's your favorite color?" or "Does this color go with me?" 3. In the Color video, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions? -The bi...

Logo Design

1. Discuss what you thought about creating your logo. I'm not an artistic person so this was not only a frustrating process it was also very difficult because I had to force myself to be creative and find something that's significant to me.  2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation. At first I thought it was supposed to be a logo of my name so it was hard to figure out an object that represented me and it fit all 8 letters of my name. I settled with doing my nickname which I got in my sophomore year of high school. It's "Jelly" and I got it because I had an art teacher who refused to pronounce my name correctly after my correcting him multiple times. He used to call me "Najelly" and my friends decided it was a good nickname. After I chose that name I was originally going to make it in the shape of a jam bottle but it was hard to design in so I did it in a gel shape. 3. What was the most important ...
