Nature and aesthetics of design

            The point that he made about knowing your materials and what shapes you can and cant make out of them was a good point. Also he had an interesting point about how things are based on the economy and how people want to make what is cheap. It was interesting how he talked about changing the characteristics of a material by strengthening it or weakening it as well as changing the shape and size. My favorite part was when he mentioned construction was a way to make a whole object out of smaller or different parts because I feel like our project really focused on that idea. I learned you have to take the properties of the object including the ones you do and do not want. Another thing I learned From this article was that it was impossible for my shape to touch at all points because only flat surfaces can touch at all points.
