module 7

1. The first video i watched was the Architecture: The Science of Design video. One of the key concepts from this video was the emphasis on the relationship between environment and the structure being built.  Things from the environment that may seem very simple like win or climate play a large role in how a structure is built and the materials used to do so. the second video i watched was the Frank Gehry video Architecture as Art. A key concept from this video is the personal connection between the architect and their work as well as the emotional connection between the structure and the people that will directly interact with it whether its where they're living or working.

2. The videos relate to the reading in the sense of solidifying the the process of architecture, the materials used in architecture, as well as the non-physical aspect of architecture.

3. Frank Gehry's video was the more interesting video of my two choices. Similar to the Emmanuel Fillion video, the Architecture as Art video is interesting because it goes into the mind of the creator. This adds more depth to the personal process of creating a structure.

4. I chose the Frank Gehry video because of the inside scoop on architecture that it gives. I think a crucial part of appreciating a structures design or the process in which a structure is built is getting insight directly from the artist.
