Heidegger's Thinking on Architecture

From the essay,we can know that how importants between the enviroment with a building and the author create a rule within it.The author describe the natura is a work of art and he took the greek temple as a example.Through the few point he mensioning in the essay, i agreed with the sentences "The nature is a work of ast''.Ya,because without the enviroment,a building can become nothing.The enviroment giving birth to the building.But,some other people said,we build or design a building is to Fit to the enviroment.I think both of them are related(architecture and enviroment).To create a great building,it need a support by an enviroment.What does the enviroment have?...After i read through the essay it seems like Everthing can be an enviroment,like the nature(the author describe the reflecting of sunlight even the luster and gleam is an enviroment too) and the living things as well. Thats why we need to do an site analysis and take note on human culture before design an building.

In the other paragraph,the author comes out a theory ''The Origin Of the Work of Art'' ,whats i understand about this word is same the the meaning of Enviroment Friendly(From Architecture view).And from his theory we can konw why the Greek temple want to located at the middle of rock-cleft valley.By no destroyed anything on the site,the people build the temple there.It's good and we can see through how ppl using the site context at early century,makes a combination between the enviroment and structure/building.Brings the enviroment as the natural landscape to the building.

In the others side,the suthor oso mension about the word ''Language keeps the world''.Actually i dun understand what he is talking about.Why he think thats language is the original art?Man dwell in language?..i think i can know more about this in class rite?..LOLS.But i quet agreed with the sentence here "Poetry speaks in images''.Contrast,which let the invisible be seen.ya,even though a building also need a hierarchy too.The author oso mension about a painter here.named Van Gogh and his drawing ''representational image''.From Architecture view,a building is mute if it just a building there,but if the building mixed with the enviroment,its shows alot of meaning.but without it,the building is jus a sick structure jus like the author mension ''non-representational images''.

Other then that,the author also describe the building is just a only location,room as the space and is provided for the locations.Boundry as threshold,it separate the building to have indoor and outdoor.It's so true,space birngs functions to the building,the building that without space can say that it is jus a shape,not only the enviroment but also the space giving birth to the building.Boundry provide a better connection between the indoor and ourdoor,brings comunication to them.

''Inhabited landscape'',the gap between earth and sky is a place,a place that fullfilled the nature elements.The word ''inhabited landscape''...for my opinion,i thk is lived with the landscape-nature as the landscape.Thats the point i agreed with.[http://www.designobserver.com/media/pdf/The_Inhabited__1195.pdf]
The landscape elements must adapt to,grow from and extend to the architectural/structural concept,and establish connections and sperations betweem surrounding neighbourhood and region.The enviroment and the landscape is an art for architecture.

For my conclusion,everything can be an art.even the language as well.Just depend on how we using it.The essay also describe very well in how to used and taking benefits from the nature/enviroment.Hows the building show its important between man and landscape and makes a good connections within the structure and nature

The Concept Of Place

Its a long essay for everyone i thk and i get stunned for few second when i saw it.After reading for few times,it's still hard to be understand.Let's talk about wat i know.The author of the essay is explaning about the research of Concept of place and there is some complicated thinking for me which is the different view of psychologically and also architecturally.

At the starting of the essay,the author had already mension about the technical of mobile life,it showed the comunication and interacting between ppl.Some of the project is the Walking City by Ron Herron and The Nwe Babylon by Dutch Utopian Constant Neiuwehius.There is no place for the city but interaction and through tat we can know that the comunication of the ppl is more imiportant than the place thy lived in.Erm,for my own opinion,human/people ned a stable and tidy place for live otherwise the culture , attitudes , and also emotions wil affect human behaviour.

Through a psychologically view,the author said human get to a place when thy are still a kids which means wat thy see or wat thy feel are send to their memory and start to adapt new place thorugh life experience.The concept of space will not affected by human being but controled by human action.This a quet true statement beacause human is a decission maker ,thy wil design the space by wat thy like not jus folow a rule or wat.
And,human design a place is not by randomly but thy wil folow the function of the space.for an example,people using different space to do different activities.Tats why people create more space within it.

For my opinion in architecture view,place is a site for architect or designer to adding structure or building in it and make it useful.by using a place, architect can create space and then adding function in it. This will be served the owner / user whon use the space.

As a conclusion,i am agreed some of the points tat show us in the essay but mostly is hard to let me understand.Psychologic and architecture is needed to be creating a space and place need an imageable building or structure which wil offer the identities of a place and it have to be a valid house , city and also country for us to create our own house and make us become the citizen of the wolrd. @@''

The Minority Report.

Actually i dun understand wats the movie talking about and it is hard to understand.Mayb it din show with subtitle below.But nvm,i download it with chinese subtitle by myself.XD...After watching agn in my house,i feel tat its still complicated.haha...Let me explain in simple way.The story line was held on 2054 and there is a goverment department called Pre Crime,they have 3 special person with super nature power like knowing...?...thy can see through thg before it hapen and the cops using their power to catch or arrest any criminal before thy start off any crime in the city.(prevent crime before it hapen)..wow~

The most impressive part for me about this movie is when John Anderson run off by the agent/cops catching,tats the part with alot of ACTION i thk..GUNS WITHOUT BULLET,wow..such a hi-tech equipment huh...and the others part is in the apartment,the agent using a vry SMALL INSECT-LOOK SPY to taking information.One simple conclusion on it,hi-tech equipment brings convenience to ppl.Hmm,about the unimpressive part...if its unimpressive means tats i wunt remember it rite?...XD

The building in this movie all designed in a vry modern and simple way,ya it is match with the story line which is held in the future(2054) and u can see the arrangement of the city and the transportation have a big defferent from now.All of them are mixed with high technology equibment.We can clearly see the combination between architecture with technologyin this movie and the way how thy depend on each other.

According to this movie,there is 1 massage brings to me is that we can make decision in our life and decided or change the future.We can do it by human being but not Gods.But weather good or bad,its depand on ourself thinking.From the movie,we can see how thy minimize the crime rate by using the super nature power.Its a good things rite?

The movie brings a better design thinking for us nows a day.Because the story was held on the future and we can alrady see through the architecture design on that time.I thk it has improve my modern design thinking and one good news for us is human architecture thinking was see through over 40 years from now.Thy design not just the building but also cities and technology.
