Seven Ways of Seeing
Beauty in Design
This article explores a very interesting concept. Beauty through design. It goes about it by breaking down the way one can see beauty in design in 7 different categories. Extravagant, Transgressive, Emergent, Transformative, Ethereal, Intric-ate, Elemental. What caught my attention was Lauren Bowker’s London-based practice, TheUnseen, is focused on responsive design. It was a piece of a leather jacket painted with ink that reacts to wind movement. The jacket is painted with bird wings. It quite amazing. The contrast and value used in the design displays the use of it extremely well.
