Blog review


In the “Prairie Style” video I learned about Frank Lloyd Right and his style of architecture. In the video, it explained how his style changed modern architecture and it shows example of architects that were inspired by his work to create work of their own. In the second ,“Architecture: The Science of Design” It gave examples on how science can relate to architecture. Learning how science is used to figure out ways to project skyscrapers from the environment. In the last video, “Classical Architecture” it focused on the architecture of the Greek and the Romans.

All three videos had some similarities to what I read in the book. However, the video related more to the textbook but on this topic of “Classical Architecture.” The book had a big percentage that focused on what the Greeks and Romans, what they have brought to architecture, and how we have be inspired by them.

The videos were okay, they were not the best. However, they were very informative and got to the point of the information needed. It gave more information compared to the book and it  was more enjoyable then reading the book.  

From the selected videos I chose to watch “Last Call for Planet Earth Sustainable Development and Architecture." The title was appealing to and it made me want to learn more about what the video was about. Overall, I enjoyed the video, it showed me different ways to protect the earth from pollution and anything else that might harm the planet.
