a town by the coast with only 500 inhabitants,
was a reminder of what i am going to back home
and how i want to go about reconsidering my approach on design.
there is something to be said of the handicraft and essence of that time period in comparison to the development of minimalism and simplicity, how i was essentially 'educated' in regards to design.
i do not necessarily want to imitate the feel because those aesthetics have a place in history,
but more along the lines of bringing in subtleties and accents as part of the whole picture;
appreciating its forms, colors, textures, tangibility, and overall essence;
repurposing what once was into relevance for the current state of design;
understanding its historical context and what it meant to be specialized;
grasping a more holistic picture on preconceived concepts;
finding a balance between mainstream and alternative.
following are some examples
of quality pieces i thought to take note of:
and also, just a side note
being here in iceland has sparked a desire to do color studies
both from landscapes and housing.
