  • "Produced by the Coast Community College District in cooperation with the City College of Chicago."@en
  • "As an example of how soundness of design can create aesthetic pleasure, this program shows how sculpture frequently was used as a supporting element in buildings in ancient Greece. After describing the architecture typical of the Renaissance, the program moves to the modern era and examines the materials -- steel, reinforced concrete and concrete blocks-- that have allowed modern architecture to have its characteristic forms. Also explained is the principle guiding much of modern architecture: "form follows function.""@en
