Prairie Style

1. Some key concepts from this video are Frank Lloyd Wright invented picture windows and open living spaces. I was surprised to find out that the prairie style does not solely mean a style like 'on the prairie' like I originally thought, it means so much more. It is an open floor plan, that has rooms that flow into one another as well as floor to ceiling windows.
2. This relates to our textbook because it goes into depth about styles of architecture and a designer (Frank Lloyd Wright). It showed the floor plans and ideas that go into building/designing a home.
3. My opinion on this film was that it enriched my knowledge of architecture, and the evolution of the prairie style.
4. I chose this film because it had a very interesting title, I was curious as to what the video would be about. 

Frank Gehry: Architecture as Art

1. Some key concepts from this video are that Frank Gehry does not plan, he responds to the place/time/people and comes up with something on the spot in his art work. He also tries to connect emotions to his work. He wants to change the face of modern architecture.
2. This relates to our textbook because this video further delves into the field of architecture, and discusses how art=architecture. It explains more than our textbook does about modern architecture and it also gives visual examples of architectures, as well as an interview with a famous architect.
3. My opinion on this film is that it was very interesting. I liked 'being inside the head' of Frank Gehry, and getting to see his art through his eyes. I think it helped me understand architecture and the structural elements involved more than just the textbook did.
4. I chose to do this video because art and architecture to me are very similar things. I wanted to explore how they are one and the same, and I felt that this video would help me do that, and teach me some things about how art and architecture are intertwined.
