After reading this passage from The Nature and Design of Aesthetics, I realized how much we often do classify “cheaper” as “better”. We often try to get the most for our money to set put us ahead in the world. This reading also made me think of how everything around us is has practically been manipulated to fit our standards. Even the creation of the box I just made, the wood was manipulated from before I even handled it. Manipulation of natural elements has been happening for a very long time, it’s just a way to improvise life. Until the end of the reading the author had a negative tone. The way I look at the manipulation of materials is just customizing it so it can be used for more things, what could be wrong with that? Design like the author said at the end of the reading can create happiness through beautifying the environment. I can directly relate to that because of my passion and personal impact for interior design.
