Ali Rahim reading

I liked this reading for a couple of reasons. It was not only interesting but informational. I learned about things I didn’t know even existed. Its basically that architecture would not be where is at today with technology. Technology has allowed us to become more efficient. But with technological advances we need feedback to allow us to advance even further and become efficient. The technology has only made the modeling and hand drawing more efficient for visualization and documenting. Now these computer programs allow us to not only design the building, but figure out structural engineering, fabrication, mechanical, electrical, and cost estimation all at once.
Another thing I learned from this was the technology that the Eameses used in the design and fabrication of their furniture. It was very interesting to see the techniques used to create the furniture. Different pieces of furniture were created through techniques discovered in different fields of work. The Eameses combined advances from their disciplines with their own inventions to make new technologies and techniques. They invented a device made out of items found around the house to form heated plywood into chairs.
