'Why Architecture matters'

Last night in my reading on 'Why architecture matters'  is that in the book they were comparing  how architecture can have things in common with the space. It also talks about the difference between natural and artificial light. In the Pantheon, you feel as if the world revolves around you even if you are not in the very center of the great circle it's all natural light. The very top of the dome lands on the floor in the form of a round disc of sun.

Therme Val's

The Therme Val's is located in Switzerland .The Therme Val's is a spa and also a hotel. And its really nice and i think people go to relax in there since there is no clocks in there so people can relax. I like the idea of how its in the inside and its really cool and i also like the colors of the walls.

Today our class had a field trip and it was to Standford .I had to learn things about the Standford Church. I learned a lot of things about the Standford Memorial Church is located in the center of the campus.Jane Standford built this church,as a memorial to her husband. The church is open for everyone. This church was built on 1903. This building was built during the American Renaissance. Back then they used to called it "the university's architectural crown jewel". It's build by stained glass windows and extensive mosaic.

Last time in class we talk about how some architectures get inspired by things to build things. One example can be the Sydney Opera House.The Sydney House the architecture that did it he was inspired by the boats that passed there since its closed to the water. The Sydney Opera House is near the water.And it's one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world.
