10 architects

These are the influential architects that we had learned about by watching the videos on them:
  1. Miles van der Rohe: He is one of the fathers of modern architecture because of his extensive use of steel, glass, and lightweight structures. He coined the phrase "Less is more".
  2. Shin Takamatsu: His buildings are original, ascetic, and inventions. His buildings all have a weird look to them, like a machine. He was an innovative genius who had a different view of structures.
  3. Andrea Palladia: He is famous for the use of proportions in his works.
  4. Etienne Louis Boulle: Based off of the Greeks and Romans, he expanded their buildings with symmetry and expanding the sizes.
  5. Charles-Edouard Jeanneret-Gris (Le Corbusier): Considered one of the first modern architects, he was very interested in designing a new way of urban living. Developed and used a unique system of proportions.
  6. Frank Furness: Taking the Victorian style, Furness uses a common architectural language to oversize, squeeze, stretch, or over accentuate buildings.
  7. Frank Lloid Wright: Known as one of the greatest American architects of all time, Wright used and is known for his extensive use of free flowing forms.
  8. Antoni Gaudi: Breaking from traditional lines and forms, his buildings prove that buildings do not have to be normal or by certain guildlines.
  9. Tadao Ando: Using deliberate, bold, and serious forms, and the use of concrete, his building are sublime and beautiful, using water and light in his elements.
  10. Coop Himmelblau: Using deconstructionism, Coop Himmelblau changed the way we look at buildings, with the unique, shuffled and misplaced styles of buildings.

Khan Academy

1) It was very organized and I suppose that this video very easily flowed from what was going on in the last one.
2) What works well for me in the video is the fact that the main points of the lesson are titled with different colors.
3) It is confusing how the focus on the lesson goes all the way from the beginning of reconstruction to the beginning of the great depression and the times that these had occured at were so far apart. The lessons in history should be assigned by the years that the events occur not by summarizing the largest and most important events that occur. 
4) Flipping the classroom would only work in a few situations and it really depends on how much the students are willing to learn and how much time that they want to put in. It would work if the children would actually focus on the videos without getting destracted without a teacher being able to keep them in line and paying attention.
