My Architecture



My architecture was a filmed that showed the difference between an architect and an artist.An artist expressed his feelings in his paintings,he worked by itself.Using a pencil and a piece of paper,any fantasy can be illustrated.But his illustrations wouldn't be build because they are not safety.There wouldn't be any client willing to risked their money to build someone else project.The client has their own ideas,they want to be part of the design because they are providing the money.An architect does research on how buildings are build,he travels around the world incorporating new ideas into its plans or feature projects,they spent hours reading books to keep up with the competition and earning more experience.Architects based their worked depending on the ideas of their clients.They need the helped from many people for their project to become a reality.
Louis Khan was a jewish artist/architech that was born in Astonia, his family inmigrated to Philadelphia when he was three years old. Students at his school make fun of his scarfs which make him wait for the last bellring to enter to his classroom. Louis was given a piano by a family, his parents lived in a very small aparment with the piano he didnt had a choice but to sleep on top of the piano because he loved to play. He earn a schoolarship in architecture which made him become a differnt architect because of his art background. Khan was an artist and architect, he wasnt a succesful in his carrear because he wanted to do what he want, didnt follow the opinions or wishes of his clients. He went all over the world, he didnt know rhe difference between day or night sometimes he used to sleep in his office after working on his projects. My favorite creation of Louis was the Salt Institude with labs having closed view to the pacific ocean because of its unique srtucture. Each building or creation had a historic reason, they represent histories great monuments and architechture as the key block on buildings that he design. For Louis quantity didnt matter,only the quality of his work was important according to his beliefs. Khan had three wifes that he married troughout his carrier and had tree children. His son investigated about his father life to understand him better, because at the age of 11 Khan died of a hearth attack in pennsylvania train station comming back from one of his trips. There were many questions that weren't many answer correct on about the death, his son found out that his father was bankrupt because his work wasn't liked much.

Architects were white people,now in days architects can be of any color the only requierement is to have a good education and experience.
