Experimental Structures: The Use Evolution of Physical Models for the German Pavilion 1967
Переглядів 793Рік тому
This video tells the amazing story of how physical models were used to design, analyze, and test the experimental cable net structure for the German Pavilion at the 1967 Montreal Expo. This ambitious project the world's largest cable-net structure was designed by Rolf Gutbrod and Frei Otto (with his research team at the Institute for Lightweight Structures (IL) in Stuttgart). It completed under...
Body Structures 2: Lab Activities for Architects, How High? and How Far?
Переглядів 3332 роки тому
In this video, I'll explain how enacting two basic challenges for body structures (How High Can You Reach? and How Far Can You Span?) can be used to quickly and effectively basic structural principles (equilibrium, loads, force flow, stresses, etc.). The video shows how to create a lab activity, examples of various poses and the critical lessons to be learned from each. This lecture and lab occ...
Body Structures 1: Learning Fundamentals of Architectural Structures through Haptic Exercises
Переглядів 5622 роки тому
In this video, I'll explain a basic, but profoundly effective method for learning about basic structural principles (equilibrium, loads, force flow, stresses, etc.) using human body. This video shows how certain poses with one's body can be enacted and diagrammed to reveal fundamental structural concepts. This lecture and lab occurs at the onset of the "Structures by Design" sequence I teach at...
Body Structures, Part 3: Teaching Structures to Beginning Architecture Students
Переглядів 4462 роки тому
In this video, I'll explain a basic, but profoundly effective method for teaching structural principles that relies upon the human body. This video presents basic information for how forces, stresses, equilibrium, and connections can become readily accessible to early learners. Students see how far they can span and how high they can reach using their bodies. This lab is one of the first in the...
Experimental Structures: The Evolving Use of Physical Models in Shells (Isler and Otto, 1959-1974)
Переглядів 1,6 тис.2 роки тому
This video, from an Experimental Structures course at Iowa State University, looks at the evolving uses of physical models in experimental architectural shell and membrane structures. The video shows how models transcended simply representational roles; physical models were used in form-finding and analysis methods for double-curved concrete structural shells (Heinz Isler) and lightweight cable...
Experimental Structures: Better Shells (Dieste)
Переглядів 3,6 тис.2 роки тому
This video shows the evolution of thin shells from hyparbolic paraboloids to gaussian vaults by focusing on the work of Eladio Dieste. This lecture is part of the "Structures Zoo: Experimental Structures" course at Iowa State University taught by Rob Whitehead and Tom Leslie (Sp. 22).

Переглядів 143 роки тому
This video is part of the CELT, Innovation by Design: Project-Based Learning workshop series offered at Iowa State University by Prof. Rob Whitehead. This video looks at the essential role of feedback and assessment in project-based learning (PBL) projects including ways of incorporating it into course design and ways of incorporating targeted teaching techniques towards in-class activities for...
Design & Ideation for Project-Based Learning: Nurturing Creative Aspects of the Experience
Переглядів 553 роки тому
This video is part of the CELT, Innovation by Design: Project-Based Learning workshop series offered at Iowa State University by Prof. Rob Whitehead. This video explores the design and ideation phases of project-based learning to show how planning, activities, and formative feedback can nurture the process of learning in collegiate-level courses. Teaching tactics are discussed that promote crea...
Develop & Situate Project-Based Learning: Planning, Participants, & Purpose
Переглядів 173 роки тому
This video is part of the CELT, Innovation by Design: Project-Based Learning workshop series offered at Iowa State University by Prof. Rob Whitehead. In this video we go back to some of the basics about course planning to examine how to make distinctions in the inquiry-based approach and how it coordinates with the participants and overall purpose. The video describes how to scaffold of course ...
What is Inquiry-Based Learning & Why it Works
Переглядів 663 роки тому
In this video, Iowa State University Prof. Rob Whitehead discusses the concept of inquiry-based learning and the qualities of the approach that make it effective. This video serves as an introduction to the 2020-21 Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) workshop series: "Innovation by Design: Project-Based Learning."
Understanding Inquiry-Based Options: Project-Based Learning...with Toast
Переглядів 353 роки тому
This video introduces basic principles for inquiry-based (and project-based) learning at the collegiate level. In this video, the distinctions between direct instruction, problem-based, project-based, and design thinking processes are explored through various exercises of visualized systems thinking in which participants are asked to draw the process of making toast through various constraints....
