In-Class Project


I think the most interesting part of last week's project was seeing how different people could capture the overall shape of a building in non-traditional ways. Candles as columns or headlights as rooms. We were trying to convey the sense of the building through more colorful and emotive means. I think this could be something to keep in mind whenever designing something mundane so to possibly go about the everyday in a new way and create something original. I think this is why children like houses made of candy and cookies and forts made of pillows and boxes... their imagination is unchained with the creative take on something they see everyday. Adults could do the same if they just tried to see things in a new way time to time.
