How are designers and artist going to know where the boundaries of designing for society are at or even where their own boundaries are; or if they are pushing the boundaries to make new boundaries? Plus, design like this allows the world to see that things don’t have to be designed one way and made out of one kind of material. Some of this design might be “dysfunctional design” but how are they going to find out it is until something is dysfunction until it is designed that way. I believe this era was great for design; it opened so many doors for future designBecca Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891816920464976446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342361280354738466.post-8807195488937352632007-02-14T23:52:00.000-05:002007-02-14T23:52:00.000-05:00I believe it was worth the risk of creating an un-...I believe it was worth the risk of creating an un-functional design in order to push the limits of what had been. Sometimes aethetics are just as important as functionality. The long flowing forms from the s-curves and other aspects of the art nouveau designs gave something more to regular functionality, it didn't take away from it. Although the ideals of the art nouveau were more about design and perhaps even decoration than functionality, why should we fault them for this? If we didn't worry about design, designers like us wouldn't have a purpose anyway. Also, I don't believe any of these designs was at fault for "hurting" anyone, and I think that was a low "risk" to take.speeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14018452390902138898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342361280354738466.post-68961946917641230132007-02-14T22:54:00.000-05:002007-02-14T22:54:00.000-05:00I believe that like everything, design is a proces...I believe that like everything, design is a process of trial and error. Even though the designs may have been un-functional, they were definatley more aesthetically pleasing, or at least drastically different then those in the victorian era. Quite possibly, the designers were more interested in getting a new design out there and not so interested in making it functional, at first anyway.G.Ficklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657447576445767575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342361280354738466.post-79192774447876662932007-02-14T15:47:00.000-05:002007-02-14T15:47:00.000-05:00I think that the metal work was worth taking a cha...I think that the metal work was worth taking a chance on. I am sure that the designers did not design something without thinking about the edges being dangerous because that is a designers job to think about and make sure it is not dangerous. It could have very likely happened, but from the picture it seemed that the metal work was incorporated into the columns or in the stair railing beautifully. The curved lines of the metal work was very risky but also something different then what had been done before. It is the designers job to think of new ideas and do something different from what everyone else has already done. The organic lines were manipulated well with the curved metal and something that was seen throughout the movement.Mary Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363930583643393455noreply@blogger.com
