Video Review module 7

I choose the video , Architecture: The Science of Design  and imperial Rome, Ostia, and Portus: Ancient Architecture and Technology . In the first video I learn about the importance of Skyscrapers, the intelligent home . Also I learn about concrete, a construction material that has become the symbol of modern architecture and is undergoing constant improvement. The second video is about  the technology behind the architecture that characterizes Imperial Rome and its transshipment centers, Ostia and Portus. Maps, city models, footage of historic sites.the construction of aqueducts, harbors, multistory tenement blocks known as insulae, the Servian and Aurelianic Walls, the Baths of Caracalla, the Pantheon and its puzzling portico, and other marvels. The use of brick-faced concrete is given special emphasis. In addition, the architectural record provides insights into life in ancient Rome and its environs. This video are related to the reading because they talk about the importance of the science in the architecture. For me videos help me in the understanding of the different aspect important and needed for the architecture. The part of the skyscrapers call my attention because before watching the video I don't any idea of the importance of the winds in architecture. I choose the video for the titles when I saw the word Rome I think in the beginning of the architecture and science make think in something modern. I think I choose a great and useful pair for my understanding of architecture.
