Video Review 2

Prairie Style was about how Frank Lloyd Wright changed architecture in America by reconnecting us with nature. The video showed us his prairie house designs and his idea of organic structure. The book talked about organic structure and more specifically Frank Lloyd Wright. I was surprised that he did not finish high school. I wasn't really expecting that because he seems so intelligent. I enjoyed this video because I liked looking at the houses they showed us.

The Science of Technology video showed the use of technology with architecture. It built on the ideas the book brought up about artists choosing different materials and structures depending on the environment and location. The book also talked about using concrete in Roman and Greek architecture which the video mentioned. Science is my least favorite subject so this video was not my favorite. It was interesting to learn about the science behind architecture because I have never really thought about it before.

The Classical Architecture video talked about how classical architecture is still used today, for example, "Renaissance Architecture". The video talked about solar panels which relates to what the book says about Green Architecture. Also relating to the book was the discussion of the Greek and Roman architecture. This video was pretty interesting and I learned a lot of new things about architecture then and now.

I chose to watch the video Last Call for Planet Earth. It was really intriguing when the first architect said going green in architecture is "a matter of survival". This video directly relates to the book when they talked about Green Architecture. I liked this film because it gave me even further insight into the concept of Green Architecture and how important it really is. I chose this film because I felt like I already knew enough about architecture in art from the book and other videos so I didn't need to watch Architecture in Art. I didn't choose Mathematics in architecture because I am terrible at math and it doesn't interest me at all. I chose Last Call for Planet Earth instead of Ancient Architecture because of the grabbing title and it seemed like a more recent video.
