Architecture Preview #1

1. Habitat 67 (Cananda)

a) Moshe Safdie
b) 1967
c) Montreal, CA
d) it is private property
e) $22 M
f) It was originally conceived as his master's thesis in architecture at McGill University
g) I chose this building because it was the only one with numbers in the name. I like how the building is made in segments, and different rooms have an entire differently part of the house. I also like the location, right by the water, and surrounded by it.

2. La Pedrera

a) Antoni Gaudí
b) 1912
c) Spain
d) anyone can access it
e) (couldn't find)
f) Built to be a luxury hotel.
g) I chose this building because of the shapes. I enjoy how the architects made it rounded all around. It's even bumpy and round on the balcony on the top of the building. I also like how people can visit 
anytime, and is cheap to look at a masterpiece building.


3. UFO house 
.  
a) Matti Suuronen
b) 1978
c) Taiwan
d) anyone can visit the grounds
e) (can't find)
f) the pods were built to be a small community, that was never finished.
g) I like how the buildings are shaped. I picked them for the interesting layout of the "pods". I also like how the UFO houses are abandoned but people can still visit them to take spooky pictures.

4.Sculptured House


a) Charles Deaton
b) 1963
c) Colorado, USA
d) private
e) bought for $3 M
f) it was featured in a show called Sleeper
g) I chose this house because of the location. It is on top of a mountain/hill in Colorado. The shape isn't my type, but the view and location is amazing.

5. turning torso



a) Santiago Calatrava
b) 2005
c) sweden
d) public
e) can't find
f) named after a sculpture
g) I chose this building for its shape. I like how the tower twists, and its impressive how the building is stable, and how it was built. Also how did they get everything to stay still and not lean during construction.

Sensory Overload

1. I think i know what they are saying, but it isn't really worded in a good way, but if i read it right, i agree. the statement makes you feel different about how you take photos and look at things in a new way.

2. i don't think it would be worth it to fly to where these booths are and take pictures, i would go to a more memorable place, more exotic.

3. i feel like having a parent working in one of these booths would be VERY boring, ive seen videos of people driving hard bargains when trying to buy from them, so watching your dad get "played around" like that would be sad, however, the products they sell arent worth near how much they want to sell them for.

4. I like the artificial flower shop picture. I thought they were real until i read the caption. I love the colors of the flowers, and the quantity of them. I like how the shop keeper is casually sitting in the middle of a jungle of color.

motion shoot

sports warm up

1. because it was caught at the perfect time.
2. the shutter speed must be very fast to catch the water fall on the coach and not have motion blur.
3. this is a key moment, the action was planned, but the reaction from the coach wasn't.
4. one of the techniques used in the photo are high shutter speed and capturing a motion without motion blur
