IAR 221 Circles, Groves, & Stacks

This circle is located at Jefferson Suites on the UNC Greensboro campus. This radial circle is the entry way in to the building. I feel that circles make people want to gather around and socialize with each other. The different layers of circles also emphasize the middle of the circle even more.
This is an example of groves. These columns are located in front of the EUC. The columns sort of represent trees in the way that they are grouped together. The columns are also set up in a way that makes the entrance look very welcoming with the rectangular openings.
This is an example of stacks. These stacks are located in the entrance of the EUC. The different color panels on the stacks adds repetition which emphasizes the stacks even more. Stacks represent a lot of things. When stacks I think of power. Whoever or what ever is at the top is the most important.
Rituals
I personally think that environments influence rituals. I think this because we as humans naturally adapt to different environments in order to live better. Its seems kind of backwards to me to change your environment based off you rituals.

IAR 221-01

For my object, I decided to choose a perfume bottle. My first reason is because the bottle design resembles the curves of a woman . I not only appreciate the design, but i also appreciate the design of the scent of the perfume. This object relates to my work because I feel my work is very feminine and natural. The perfume I chose was made from natural elements such as flowers, which also echoes femininity. Perfumes have been part of our culture for a very long time. In this day and age perfume is a billion dollar industry. In ancient times people used perfume for religious ceremonies and love making. In addition, it was also a symbol of wealth in some parts of the world because perfume can be very expensive.
 Finally, perfume is a symbol of beauty. Woman have been trying to enhance their beauty for ages. How does perfume make you feel beautiful? I feel that perfume gives woman an added confidence to go along with all their other beauty enhancers.
