ARCH 1121 HISTORY OF ARCH. TECHNOLOGY
Week 1 HW Assignment
My name is Anna and I was born in Poland. Moved to New York at the age of six and lived in Ridgewood Queens since then. I speak Polish and English both fluently, and a few words in French and a few other languages. I attended the High School of Art & Design because I fell in love with art since I can remember! This is my first semester in City Tech and I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can.
Architecture is the art and science of putting a building together.
A structure must defy gravity, provide shelter, and comfort to the consumer residing in it. Since the beginning of time, those were the qualities we looked for and continue to look for today. What started as simple as wooden home we now have an era of steel skyscrapers, smart homes, and historic cathedrals amongst some examples. This is a field that keeps moving forward so architects are always looking for new ideas to interest the consumer especially in a market where new technology, consumer demand, and styles change on a daily basis, which makes this very exciting!
Self-discovery brought me to the spring 2015 Architectural Class. I want to find out more about the structures that surround us on a daily basis and would like to see how my ideas come to life on paper. I would like my ideas to benefit the population around me. As an art high school student, my friends and I would always love to visit local modern built buildings near us such as the Bloomberg building or all the other amazing glass atriums and admire the skill that artist must have possessed. I assume that’s when I decided to give Architecture a try because buildings always seem to bring people together.
