Alternatives Summary

Kayla related architecture to pizza and how it has changed from traditional Italian pizza, to what is found in the freezer department at grocery stores. I think this represents the alternatives unit very well. Her main point is how people look back at the foundations of architecture, while looking forward and seeing how the boundaries can be stretched and eventually even broken.

Nathan chose a picture that represents the unit well, the two statues of David, one by Michelangelo and the other by Bernini. This perfectly shows how things became out of the box, by taking one thing and doing it a completely different way. He talks about movement and how it was relevant during the Baroque period.

In Sharece’s essay, she explains alternatives in history as the recognition of rules followed by breaking those rules and rebellion. This simply puts the unit together and describes what its about. She talks about different time periods like Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque and how they have changed. Her picture is a symbol of the unit, showing arrows and how there are many different directions presented to us but it doesn’t mean we are forced to follow those paths.
