The Prairie style was developed by artist, Frank Lloyd Wright. I learned about his concept of floating, horizontal planes. He also redefined the idea of a house by opening up space. It was cool that he planned his house according to the rotation of the sun, this way the light reflects throughout the different parts of the home throughout the day. Frank Gehry's Architecture is Art video taught me how important it is to have a sense of feeling in what you build or create.
2. The prairie style video related to chapter 13 because it devoted a whole page to Frank Llyod Wright and his artistic contribution. The second video related because this whole chapter discussed the influence of history on architecture we see today, as well as how art and architecture share many elements.
3. I really liked the videos. I totally agree with Frank Lloyd Wrights concept of a house. I would love to live in a house with panoramic views, less walls, the landscape outside connecting with the inside, and organizing my interior in a way that brings harmony to those who enter. I also enjoyed Frank Gehry's view of having a sense of movement in a building and making your designs humanistic. It's very important to have a sense of feeling and if a building can spark an emotional response in you, that is beautiful.
4. I chose the prairie style video because I knew that was associated with Frank Lloyd Wright from the readings. I chose the other video because I believe that architecture is an art form.
