The Norwich Cathedral of the Holy and Undivided Trinity in Norwich England, the media that they used to construct the Cathedral, including tools and mechanical devices, they used hammers, mallets and chisels, ropes to left up heavy objects, pulleys, wood which carpenters used to make wooden cantering to support the construction of stone arches and vaults and many other things. Other media were also used such as limestone, water, stained glass, templates were used to cut stones to cut carve into shapes ready for placement on the cathedral. Paint was also used, tufa stone and a windlass, Whereas The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, U.S the materials used to construct was 12,500 pieces of steel for the outside of the building, in areas outside regular forms stone was used, glass surfaces function as a liaison between various volumes, crane and plaster are also used, for the interior of the auditorium and rooms they used fir wood, this is the same type of wood that is used in the back of the violoncelos and violas, used in floors, walls and ceilings, planes and files were used, saws, pliers, wrenches, cutters, glass windows, and computers.

Compare and explain:
How do the different media/processes dictate the shapes and/or forms used in these buildings?
The Walt Disney Concert Hall has curved, precise, flowing lines curves because of the curved nature of its skeletal structure, whereas the Cathedral of the Holy and Undivided Trinity has rounded arches because it was a Romanesque architecture and also because it was a Gothic structure
