ARC131H1 Lecture Notes - Some Cities, Paolo Soleri, Floor Plan
Document Summary
Art should not be explained, it should be experienced. Architecture means shapes formed around man, formed to be lived in, not just seen from outside. Understanding architecture is not the same as being able to determine the style of a building by certain external features. Essay question on the bader theatre: you will be asked to generally describe the exterior and the interior and to discuss your particular experience of architecture via that building; 3 points. Talk about its use + its purpose to be a lecture hall: serves it well, practical purpose. Also used for film screenings during tiff, served this purpose properly as well (for small movies) Very different from the older vic buildings like old vic, emmanuel college, birge carnegie, annesley. Its place within the general area and then uoft as a whole hall, etc. Exterior: vertical concrete slabs, very contemporary, sections of glass, can see inside.
