I am really enjoying my design 200 class. I believe this is not a typical way to learn but the information I am getting from the class is going to last forever in my mind. It was amazing and surprising for me to watch all those videos of “Designing and the Environment” because although all know the beauty in nature and how we are inspired by them, Janine Banyu’s “biocmimicry in action” video demonstrates the point wonderfully, showing with specific examples how much we can learn from other species about constructing viable structures from homes to bacteria repellent surfaces to bullet trains. It reminded me once again very prominently that we are not the only creature who can build their own homes and protect them from harsh climates. It is true that no matter what, nature never stops creating, coloring giving new life to the earth in beautiful forms.
The video of portable incubator was a definitely a great invention that I could appreciate, as I came from a country where infant mortality rate is very high. The story of the Sabita and her infant Rani shown in video exactly matches with my experiences with countless village families. So, a thoughtful and clever design of an instrument once again will contribute to savings human lives.
Lastly, I want to say that the whole video was an eye opener as a “learning how to design” point of view. I felt one more time that taking the design major was the right choice for me.
