Architecture: The Science of Design

1. The key concepts that I learned from this video are that highrises and skyscrapers are made fron concrete and steel, the height of the buildings are concerning because of wind, preciptation, and snow. I didn't know that the shape of the building affects people on the ground. If a building is flat on top and as a right angle it is going to be more windy on the ground. So architectures tend to put more trees around the building to help prevent that. I thought that was quite neat to know. There are houses that are called intelligent houses I thought those were just in movies but I guess they exist. They are so neat. You can set them up to wake you up in the morning, start your shower, heat your towels, start the coffee, and even fax your mail during times that would save you money. Concerte is very important when building. There are all different kinds of concerte.  Concerte is made up of sand, pebbles, and broke stone mixed with water, now this concerte you would use as the support system underneath a building. Portland Concerte which is made up of limestone, silica, lumina, and iron you would use on top of the ground, the actual building itself. There are also man other forms of concerte such as prestressed concerte and reinforced concerte. I am glad I don't build because it is all a little confusing. lol
2. This video relates to the reading because it helps explain how buildings are built and what influences the shpae of a building.

3. I like the video. I like to see how things are built and to know the reasons why they are built the way they are.

Last Call for Planet Earth: Sustainable Development and Architecture

1. The key concepts that I learned from this video are that our planet is in danger of global warming. People need to be aware of this and try to change the way they live to help sustain the economy. Ways to help this are to change the way buildings are built. Buildings need to be built in away that allows light, heat, and water to come in naturally without using a lot of energy.

2. This  video relates to the readings because it talkes about architecture and the way it can help the world.

3. I like this film but it also scares me because people do think going green is just a fad but it is something we need to do to save the world.

4. I picked this film because I wanted to know more about the world and things to do to help make it a better place. Also to know what is affecting the plant in a negative way.
