Less is More
I find it very inspiring how two current Woodbury professors have their own architecture firm. I learned that every experience has place and or space from the lecture. The "Wheel of Design" caught my eye because of its simplicity which makes it so captivating. It makes me realize that sometimes less is more and its simplicity is really talking more than you would expect, just like a picture has a thousand words. The Book area though, now let's talk about that. I felt like I was in a modernized version of the movie Beauty and the Beast where the princess, Belle, just walks in the library filled with books, top to bottom. The Book area was shaped like a football stadium where you can sit, relax and read. In this lecture, the most important thing I learned was that even the simplest ideas can make reality. The design process makes it easier and faster by giving something a meaning, a purpose, so to speak. I relate this to my studio projects where I would love to make my cubes on Rhino all complex, but I can also make it simple and it would still be intriguing.
