WILDETECTURE - beauty or the beast



The organic line vs  machine built. the engineering mind vs the artistic. practicality vs aesthetic.

beauty it is said is in the eye of the beholder - sketching , playing, experimenting with form and shape is still the very  best way to whittle away a few hours of time.

at present with my current skill set , its definitely for me  beauty or the beast, a beauty vs the beast. its going to be awhile before I feel I will marry a design with elements of beauty and the beast. an encompassing design that pays respects to visual aesthetic design and practical application - at the moment i tend to be either beautiful and not so practical or practical and not so beautiful.

this paradigm shift is starting to shift and im seeing with age, acceptance, experience  a small balance between the 2. lets hope life does not run out before this quest is in some small way realized - if so,  im very sure their are many creative students who will accept the challenge of creating a design that is incredibly beautiful and is also incredibly practical and functional.
