During class, we discussed the significance of twentieth century design and the major people who influenced this style of design. One major person that we looked at was Frank Lloyd Wright. After looking at some of the architecture that he designed, I have come to really appreciate his work. Focusing on space, I feel like his work really portrays the saying "less is more". We also looked at "The Four" and studied some of their work. Their work seems so abstract and sometimes hard to understand. The imagery in class that was shown during the presentation was hard to interpret due to change of 'human form' and symbolism.
I think that exploring Frank Lloyd Wright's work is beneficial. Wright viewed design in a totally different manner. Instead of conforming to how design has been done in the past, mainly filling pages with ornaments, he created pages with spacing. This method really guides your eye to where the designer wants you to look. I would love to see more of his architectural work.
One thing that I would like to learn more about is the London Underground symbol. Once this went up, did street signs and symbols show up everywhere? Was this the beginning of street signs?
