ARCH 121 Introduction to Architecture

In the classroom was made a lot of talking and the most important thing i understood was not to copy from others work.If you copy is called Kitch.We talked about old style architecture that isn't always beautiful and tried to tell the differences between art and beauty.The most important difference was that art has to do with intuition while beauty is related to the physical senses.The originality in art is very important,because the artists represents his feeling in his work.It can't be a geometrical law of art or the law of simetry.That i not art that is math!Art repressents the artist.Art isn't always beautiful but that the point,a way to show your feelings.We readed about  Herbert Read and Thomas Jacks,who have written some briliant books.Read said that ART has always been considered as a metaphysical phenamenon.Art is an attempt to create pleasing forms that are in harmony with each-other.Music is the highest form of art because it connects art directly with the public.Jackson made "De architectura" or “The 10 books in 1 book” where is trying to defy Architecture: “Architecture is a science invoking much “discipline”, or mental training and deep knowledge of various kinds, so all work done by the other arts have to be tried and approved.”

Daylight and colore

    We learned about the impact of daylight in architecture and its importance in perceiving plasticity,textures,etc. There are different ways the daylight is used but we will talk about three main ones: 1- Bright open hall , It's a roof supported by columns and it is opened in the sides and the light in there differs from the light outside. A lot of light doesn't mean it is a good light(a front light is considered a "poor" light). Good quality of t extures and plasticity makes a good light . 2- The room with a skylight , is a room or a building with the daylight entering from the top.It is the only lighting source,and it satisfies the need of the room for light.It creates good textures and plasticity.We learned about  Partheon and the way it was build. 3- The room with the light entering from the side ,is the most used natural lighting,because it is a very good light . We learned how the light changed on the inside when only the two upper shutters were opened (same

Gulio Camillo

Giulio Camillo was a sixteenth-century Italian philosopher,is still remembered for his concept of the "Theater of Memory.". Camillo's Memory Theater is however a twisting of the arrangement of the genuine Vitruvian theater. His performance is based on the classical art of memory. In any case, his memory building is to speak to the request of interminable truth; in it the universe will be recollected through natural relationship of every one of its parts with their underlying order. The theatre resembles the ancient theatres. In ancient theatres the most sublime people sat in the lowest seat, also in this theatre the greatest and the most important things will be placed in the lowest row. The seven sections were divided according to the seven planets known at the time : The second grade of the performance center is extremely the principal day of creation, imaged as the dinner given by Ocean to the divine beings, the rising components of creation, here in their straigh

Architecture and the question of Technology

In the primary part of this book, "Engineering and the subject of Technology", we are presented with a perception of the idea of workmanship and innovation in time which at last are incorporated in connection to design. All through the main section of the book, there is communicated a feeling of the philosophical development of Phenomenology. Alberto Perez-Gomez, one of the writers of this book, is himself a compositional scholar who bolsters the previously mentioned rationality and figures out how to pass on it in his written work on workmanship and innovation. Toward the start of his contention, the creator intends to clear up the principle information second thoughts, which he should later clarify in detail, viewing the idea of innovation and in addition the all inclusiveness of instrumental reasoning. It is precisely this method of reasoning which has a tendency to for the most part misrepresent terms amid talks, along these lines lessening a mind boggling matter of iss
