Journal Week 8, blog two

This is Japans Largest lego city, circa 1997. I posted this because I thought it was relevant to the 3d design program that we've been working with. I know they are two totally different realms of creating, but the principle is similar. Someone had to have an idea and use their building side of their brain to make it real. Thoughts like: "How tall should that part be? How thin, how wide? What color? Next to what? Leading to what?" These are all some of the decisions an designer has to make. The effort and the strain and the computations are the process that makes an end product so magnificent, or even miniscule. Regardless, a lego city or a lamp, it had to be built.
