Three Authors’ Opinions on Architecture
In the author Corydon's article, he states four methods that were used in the architecture field in the 19th century. The first method is that we should treat everything seriously, not judging something from the appearance. The second method is that in order to solve the problems, it would be possible to investigate as much as possible, or it needs a complete solution. The third method tells us that we have to obey some rules and follow the order of the choice. It is better to start from the simplest ideas and then the harder ones. The last method and also the fourth one is that it is possible to have it completed and be sure of not omitting anything important.
In the article, the lamp of truth, I acknowledge the opinion that the author hold. He thinks that there exists a close relationship between the virtue of a man and the place that they live. And the conception would change with time. Although we may encounter the disadvantage part of one thing, it is also necessary to consider the beneficial part of one thing. The happiness will turn the shadow back into the lightness. The real meaning of the art of painting is the reflection of true facts. Architecture is mystical and it lies in the virtue of human beings.
In the article, truth to the medium: using materials, the author shows us that the building materials to the modern era have changed dramatically due to the development of modern building technology and industrial production. In terms of the choice of the building materials, it becomes connected with the design of the buildings. And at the same time the materials are used and the building principles should get the proper respects. We have to hold a respectful opinion to the substance of the building materials, such as the concretes, bricks and also the wood.
