@MASTERdeBATERS3 And they are VERY essential to knowing our roots in design and how we can improve it so as you can see, FORM can not only tell history but also has the power to change the course of the future, it is through form that we an truly gauge what is essential in design
@WeGotDFunc if a consumer came across to a certain product they'll first think of "how does it look?" "does it look good" FORM will always be noticed first. #Twitwar2
@WeGotDFunc Yes, but consider this, comparing the Honda Civic 2015 and Honda Civic 2018 both have the same function to bring you from one point to the other, but for sure if you get to pick one you will pick the 2018 version because it is much more beautiful right?
@MASTERdeBATERS3 Wrong. This is where the concept of intrinsic values come into play, it is said to be the value that that thing has โin itself,โ or โfor its own sake,โ or โas such,โ or โin its own right.โ That is why we have museums to celebrate these items, they are historical marvels (tbc)
@MASTERdeBATERS3 It has come to our attention that you used the Bertaa Kettle as an example, funny because despite being deemed as a bad design, its form and aesthetic heft has outweighed its intended use as many Japanese consumers are still requesting for it to be made. People like pretty things
@WeGotDFunc But if you were to choose among two objects that has the same function, the better looking one will still win. This just goes to show that consumers are more inclined towards aesthetics. #twitwar2
@WeGotDFunc But the question still stands: Is it beautiful? like you so adamantly claimed and even dared to equate with functionality. Here's a breakdown: Functionality โ Beauty. Do not sidestep the pertinent issue.
@MASTERdeBATERS3 Never said that looks is everything, but sad to say first impression really matters. Our point is good looking products leave a very good impression to humans. #readagain#twitwar2
@MASTERdeBATERS3 To whatever iterations of design that will be born out of the drawing board, it is undeniably present FORM itself is enough to tell history, humanistic implications cannot. Form is the one constant in this sea of variables https://t.co/ZOUdMjAvSa
@MASTERdeBATERS3 But you have to understand that as much as you want to claim humanism as "ever evolving" Formalism is twice as much. Because there is not denying that Form is ever present in every iterations of design, be it obsolete or new, they all have form and form is forever attached (tbc)
@WeGotDFunc This is a makeshift gun crafted by men from the war in Iraq. It is lethal, yes and it does its job well but would you agree that is is beautiful? We certainly hope not, not when it was dubbed by Jake Hamby as a "Whack job of a garage gun." taken from https://t.co/2jXsjQSfaT
