This week of history class, we are tend to explore the " modernism " through the film from architectural view point.From the film " play time " by French director named Jacques Tati, this film revealed the modernism style which dominated the futuristic of urban life in Paris. The scene begin at the airport where the group of American t
ourists arrived. The scene is illustrated in the
black and white color tones; the color only a
ppears in some parts. From this we can notify that the use of color has a relation to the idea of "modernism" that tend to make the building looks pure and being " bourgeois". The interesting point about the film is how the author attempt to demonstrate the story through the background noise nor the dialogue. Furthermore, background scene of high-rise building with cover entirely with glass facade, the use of car industry, industrialize furniture and new invention technology. The theme of the film demonstrate the turning point of the society to the better world through the development of technology, society.The film try to contradict this idea through the American tourist who have lost in the maze or in the interior of the building that everything seem to mimic the mass production process. From this I think it can be linked to the idea of Modernism that try to move toward American architect. People can still beware of "new" change; they are still confuse or lostin the idea of being a "modernism" that derived from Europe.
In the early part of lecture, we were looking at a great American architect who bring the new meaning toward American modernism.His name is Louis I. Kahn. In my opinion, he is more like Post-modernism architecture.He tend to bring back the history; he viewed architectural progressing as intrinsic to the past. Rather than revitalize specific forms or styles, Kahn used them as inspiration or a staring point of his architect which adapt to his concept of " light ".Through the study of Kahn’s drawing, we can clearly notify that he is no longer felt the necessary to express common object that denote scale .On the contrary, he used media such as typically pastels and charcoal to convey a sense f mass, geometry and shadow. In a first glance, we will see that in this painting Kahn try to draw exactly what we saw; the important aspects of the building were not the details of the number of floors, but rather the scale of the building in relation to one another and the conversation between each element and the light.
If we look at the one of Kahn's famous building " Salk Institute ", his architect is focusing mainly on the quality of light in the space . In this building Kahn chooses concrete to manifest beauty of mind and act by revealing the pureness of the structure in the spaces. Moreover concrete also emphasize quality of light that enter the space, and also emphasize on the clear line that in the middle of the courtyard pointing toward the
beautiful scenic of ocean.
