Reading and Watching: VT 13 & 14
Highlights:
During these two units of architecture and Paleolithic Art, I have come across several highlights that will give one an idea of what each unit was about. In the video, “Cathedral of Norte Dame” by Khan Academy, explains how it was the oldest church in its era. It possessed a relic, which is an object that holds special powers, for example in this case, the supposedly Virgin Mary’s tunic. People would travel great distances to see the relic and be closed to the Virgin Mary. Unfortunately, in 1194 the church burned completely and the town felt it lost its place of protection, along with the relic. Unexplainably, the relic was found unharmed three days later and the church was rebuilt during Pre-gothic times. In the video, “Saint Peter’s Basilica” by Khan Academy as well, explains how the church is built on a commonly known Basilica Plan that most churches follow. It contained a narrow pathway to lead to the speaker of the church. Saint Peter was the first pope to have this church built in the Vatican City of Rome. He had gathered many great artists, like Michelangelo, to create his church. An obscure piece of architecture is Frank Lloyd’s Fallingwater that was made in 1938 and captured by Time Magazine, for its imagination aspect upon people. Overall, it represented a great architect.

Old Kingdom: Pyramid of Khufu, by Khan Academy, states its height of 431 feet, built by the Pharaoh Khufu. I liked the fact that its imperfect stone placement left no access to the inside but ultimately with technology, lead robots to access the inside. A favorite feature of mine was the chambers, which included the King’s, Queen’s, and a burial one. The Queens chamber was just below the King’s red granite one. A feature of the boats used for burial was found in the pyramid and a set of disassembled boats were found as well.
