The color sites intrigued me the most. It always fascinates me how the change of colors can affect so many things. And how the good sites use only a few colors effectively.<\/p>\n
The ideabook.com article had a lot of good points: KISS (keep it simple stupid), low tones, and few colors. Everything we read seems to point back to the first thing anyone learns about architecture: Form Follows Function. But I like to add Frank Lloyd Wright’s insight to that:<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Form follows function\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthat has been misunderstood. Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Mr. Wright is a great architect, although I do think a lot of his stuff (like modern ‘art’) was a bit wacked, but I totally agree that form and function aren’t separate things that fight for the outcome of the project. Like so many things in life, it takes a combination of things to make a whole. (Boy, that sounds deep. I sure am on my way to being a scholar with comments like that. \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n Anyhow, the more I code and design, the more I like things to be simple and plain. This is for a couple of reasons. One, it makes it easier to read, follow and learn. Two, it’s easier to build and maintain. Three, I can’t design worth beans anyway. Hence my awaiting the future classes with great anticipation.<\/p>\n It’s awesome to see everybody (especially me) turning clunky first drafts into blooming works of art.
