This is the second time I went to MoMa.
Unlike our previous visits I went alone. It was a different experience. Design
is part of everyone life. It is present at all times and there are different
opinions. There is no perfect design. This time we had to look for high functional
and low functional art. So I went to the architecture and design galleries.
There
first example of high functional art is good grip jar opener. It is made of
stainless steel and synthetic rubber. Design to hold a strong grip while
opening any type of jar. I think it is useful because it can be used often.
Another example of functional art is “Puma Bike from the Puma Tribranded
Collection”. This bicycle can
easily be folded and stored anywhere. It is also made out of aluminum making it
lightweight. This bicycle can also be used almost everyday.
The
first example of low functional art is “ Wall piercing lights”. I believe is a
unique design but, I do not find it necessary. I found this design useless and
not necessary. Some may find this great but everyone has their own opinion. Another
example of bad functional art is “ What was good Design? Moma’s Message,
1944-56”. By looking at this art display I do not find it conferrable. I do not
think this is a good design. This design was created during World War II and it
was probably considered a great design before. But, time and good quality
design is viewed different as well.
In
conclusion, for anything to become high functional or low functional depends on
how the item is used. What kind on impact it has on people’s daily lives. But,
after all not everyone is going to have to have the same opinion about designs.
I think also low and high functions have to do with opinions as well. Some may
see a particular design high functional but others may see it as low
functional.
