arch history first assignment

After reading the book ‘From Bauhaus to our house’ there are things that I agreed with and disagreed with

- I do agreed with the concept of the modern architecture, where “form follows function”, this would make the building more useful than a luxury.

- The use of only small range of material that can be easily found, like steel concrete, glass is also a good idea. This would cut down the fancy and unnecessary cost.

- The use of only the white and grey colors for the buildings, this would make things simple, and this would improve the overall view of the city.

- Making the buildings out of the simple forms, would make the building to be more easy to be reproduced, it would cut out the unnecessary parts and this would make the building to be more suit to the normal people of the American society. This cut down the luxury and makes the building for the functions.

- Also the way that Mies Van de Rohe revealing the interior structure that were hidden inside the construction outside to decorate the building, this would give more interaction of the people to the surrounding, and it is a good way raising awareness of the architecture to the society.

- I also agreed with moving the architecture into a more conceptual way rather than just the form or craftsmanship. This would make the buildings more sophisticated, raise the quality of the architecture.

But there are also things that I do not agreed with

- the worker house, by making it dull, factory like, machine like, theoretically would make things look better, more in order and machinelike, but this doesn’t improve the experience or the quality of life of the workers.

- Making everything under the same theme make things repetition and in order, would make the world more boring. If a person move and see all the same kind of building all over the place, theoretically the whole city would be in order and beautiful, but in reality the experience that a person would get would not be very pleasing.

- To me I think architecture is something to do with human experience, therefore if a building doesn’t improve or create the any positive affect to the people then the building would be meaningless.
