Task 5: Week 3 Reflection

"From can touch peoples soul and emotion". This was by far the most spiritual hippy-style design video ive ever watched, but was made humourous by Ross Lovegrove.

Ross has three conditions that he designs by. Dubbed DNA by himself, these are Design, Nature and Art. Most of his inspirations come from natural found materials and objects which he describes as devoid of everything unneccesary and full of what is needed, of which i agree with. He observes how nature grows things, natures groth pattern and uses it as inspiration to design pretty much everything. He designs intelligent form through trusting instict. A very 'to soul' approach to design of which i very much admire because if i could think of half the things he can come up with, i may very well pass this course with flying colours.

This video has touched my own design theory very much. Id never have thought of designing with nature inmind nor getting inspiration from such a source.
