IAR 221: Final Blogpost

The object I chose that is very important to me is a cast iron skillet. I cook everyday and I had a cast iron skillet handed down to me by my mother. The design of the skillet is very simple yet very sophisticated at the same time. Just like it is in the picture, my skillet has little pouring spouts so that the skillet doubles as a shallow pot or frying pan. Secondly the material the skillet is made from is very substantial and can hold up to anything. The material is also a very good conductor of heat and cooks food evenly. The only down fall is this skillet has to be picked up with a towel or else you'll get burned. 

The space I chose is a bathroom. In my opinion the bathroom is not just a place where you use the "rest room". I see it as a place of healing and a time to be calm. Usually your always going to be in the bathroom yourself. In ancient times Romans and Greeks would go to basilicas to take baths to be socially accepted. Being clean in our society is an important trait. It's a place of cleaning, freshening up, and looking our best.

The building I chose is Falling Water. I really appreciate the designs and consideration that went into Falling Water. All the rooms and spaces in this house reflect the ideas I also have about my own home. Now days rooms in house are built very large stating that this is where you going to be most of the time. Personally I would love to have a small room like falling water that forces you to go outside and enjoy the out doors on the balcony.

The place I chose is The Friendly Shopping Center. Friendly shopping center is where I do most of my shopping because of the close vicinity of all the stores I need to go to. It's very helpful. They design of friendly shopping is built and designed based on gathering. I observed a lot of circles and columns while I was there, which in my opinion are very welcoming. The stores that reside in the shopping center are food stores, clothing stores, theaters, electrical, repair, etc.
