Videos to review

Frank Lloyd Wright was the most influential architect, the Prairie Style video it states that he designed many things to make our homes the way they are now. Living room, picture window, and open floor plan are some of the ways we got out of box like homes and into the Prairie style. Frank Lloyd Wright used skylight windows to open up the interior volume and brightens it up.  In the Last Call for Planet Earth video it talks about how insulation works and how it is very important in many places. In Canada when building they go after many green elements such as the sun and solar energy.

These video relates to the text, by showing how adding more windows can use less electricity, because it brightens the home up.  They also talk about the structure of the homes and how they can provide privacy to the owners and how they can withstand certain elements of the environment. The Last call video relates to green architecture with the use of insulation, which can collect heat during the day and release it into the home at night.  They talk about using solar power and environmentally friendly materials and making buildings eco friendly.

I thought these videos were very informational and very interesting. I didn't realize that Frank Lloyd Wright was so influential on our modern architecture. His Prairie Style homes are very interesting and are a very good way to open up your home and create more space.  The only thing I did not like about the Last call video was all the different languages and the subtitles. I now understand why some things in architecture are the way they are.

I choose these videos because they seemed to be the most interesting titles to me.
