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.

In the book we learned about artist' life influencing their art.  3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?I''m enjoying these videos so far because they give me an inside look into an artist personal life which helps us understand their painting on a deeper level. I find it very interesting "learning" about artists that are so old that our records about them either ar...
