Caitlyn represented the reflections unit as a rubix cube, showing the way different colors could come together just like different design languages come together. This is what first caught my attention about her essay. She talks about more current capital buildings getting inspiration from buildings like the Parthenon and other Greek temples. Also, there is inspiration from Palladian, Roman and Greek styles. Then she goes on to talk about The Crystal Palace and Worlds Fair, how it brought together so many different styles into one thing that people could celebrate. These all relate back to the rubix cube and how it brings together all different aspects to make one overall design.
Katherine wrote about the reflections unit in terms of a cartwheel to show revolution. Like we talked about in class, this is a good way to show the cycle and the different steps involved. Her essay is primarily about this idea of changing and flipping the world on its head. She mentions how designers look back at history and ponder on what could be done better and what comes next.
Lastly, Jasmine related this unit to an amusement park and the rotation involved. She starts by talking about foundations and how they start out as just a thought and evolve into something greater. She then goes on to discuss how all different cultures merged together, creating new ideas and trading ideas collectively.
