Reading Reflection 02


Last week I enjoyed every moment of class, specially the video footages and not to mention the idea of finding and researching all the architects, designers and their works. It was amazing but also surprising to see that a group of people from different fields work together in one company to create a cohesive design. A unique shopping cart created any manner that they asked was not approved yet the thought and idea presented was really something to learn from. Creating a wheel chair functioning like human was something that gives a positive feeling about learning how to design and gives a huge encouragement to the budding designers.
I learned that for design consideration, environment is very important. In home people can design their home with their personal choice but when it comes to the point of designing office, mall or any bigger aspect, design should  be more environmental friendly. Cultural differences are also bigger issue of designing within the framework. For example, in Japan homes are vertical rather than horizontal, because of shortage of space.
Communication looks like something really necessary for any design for modern life too. General advertisement or brochure on how to use a product, or chart or map, diagram without anything will be confusing.
Design is a marriage between form and function, and realization that failure of every project can help a new improved creation.
