300 wrods (Construction)


300 words of the theme - CONSTRUCTION



Construction is a process to put together out of artificial or natural components or parts. The word can also be expressed as the process of changing static forms of materials to be dynamic, or vice versa. Millions of elements can be formed to one single compound object. Millions of compound objects can formed a whole. The process of construction is the vital part , since the outcomes can be very similar in every objects. However, there are various ways to construct an object which can be experienced. The process can be seen as an journey, a journey which tells you a story of how the building was built.

Materials play an important role during the construction process, different materials can be constructed in different ways. Construction can be simple or elaborated. The complexity of construction has been changing throughout the years. From the early centuries, houses are mainly built by timber and stone. The materials are natural and organic, with no artificial touch. In the middle centuries, architecture turns to be complicated. To achieve the sense of beauty, complicated shapes of ornaments have been created to echo with human body. However, when architecture approaching to the modern world. The forms reverse to the original theory, simplicity. And yet, the forms are no longer organic anymore. The shapes are mainly squares, rectangular, cubes, etc. The most common materials used are bricks, concrete, glass and steel. The construction details are rigid.

The video that I am going to create is to show how the construction process changes throughout the centuries. From the very beginning, we build houses with the landscape, along with the most basic materials. To the modern time, construction is also simple yet typical. The video will also create an atmosphere to show the fact that we are destroying the landscape during the construction process.
The video is mainly divided into 2 parts, the first part is a summary of the style of construction changes throughout the years. The second part shows several weird ways of constructing buildings. The mood of the video will change from happiness/peacefulness( natural beauty of buildings) to sadness/disappointments( human starting to destroy the landscape), at last to more mysterious scenes( searching for alternative ways to construct buildings).
