Influential Architects

Vand der Rohe

·         Used steel as a skeleton so more light could enter

Takamatsu

·         His buildings are unusual but original.  Some of his buildings look like engines.

Palladia

·         He loved Roman architecture.  He used proportions in his work ad focused on beauty by planning.

Louis Boulle

·         Used classical roots but on a huge scale to get people’s attention.

Le Corbusier

·         First modern architect, particularly interested in urban living.  Looked at stuff in a different way than architects of the time.

Furness

·         Furness used Victorian Architecture.  His style looked “overgrown” because everything was oversized or over stretched.

Wright

·         Used organic free flowing forms, low over hangs and used ornament details.  He sought to have architecture that was unified.

Gaudi

·         Said that work does not have to be regular or symmetrical.  His structures looked kind of abnormal.

Ando

·         His style was deliberate, bold, and serious.  He used lots of concrete and believed that you could say more with less.

Himmelblau

·         Deconstructions shuffled plans and seemed to be put together in an odd way.

Project 2.1.6-Model Creation

Khan Academy: Algebra II: Functions and Probability

Khan Academey was extremely helpful with probability. I couldn't really understand the concept when the teacher explained it. After going over it a few more times on Kahn Academy, I was able to understand the concept. The playback feature was extremely helpful.
