Unit 5 Summary

Hello, again! Today, I'll be talking about how technology relates to everything else I've learned this semester--which includes elements/principles, scale, materials, and light/color. In my opinion, I think that all of these aspects connect to each other in different types of ways.

The first image (top left) shows my final case study assignment over the High Museum of Art. Basically the point of this assignment was to talk about the different factors included within the building; this involves what materials were used and how they're used, what elements/principles are visible throughout the space, and more. Technology was of course included in that list, but the point I'm trying to make is that the technology in the High Museum of Art still deals with the other aspects of design that were discussed in the other units.
The second image (right) was taken in W. T. Young library on campus on one of the upper floors. The main technology that was utilized in the space was the ability to move the bookshelves in order to find exactly what you were looking for, and this could all be done by pressing the buttons on the shelves. When looking at the image, the main things I notice are color, line, and scale. This proves that technology is involved in the other aspects of design.
The third and final image (bottom left) is from the School of Arts and Visual Studies. The main technology involved in this area of the building was the use of light fixtures in order to have the right lighting throughout the space. However, there's also noticeable texture and materials, as well as another source of lighting from the glass skylight above.
