Culture is not always popular

1. What is their argument/message?
  • They are arguing about the schooling and information that designers learn, and if "over-intellectual words cause you to be counterproductive".
2. What is one thing you agree with in the article?
  • I agree with the early statement that to be popular you have to act dumber, because we are growing up in a society where everything has to do with looks at outside appreance instead of the smarts you have inside. In the media, people who act like they don't know anything are the ones that everyone knows and cares about.
3. What is one think you disagree with in the article?
  • It was stated that designers create a body of work and not have a body of knowledge. I disagree with this because we may not know the supreme court justices, but if you ask us anything about structure or houses, we can answer those question. We have to study and learn from former architects, learn codes for buildings and structures, and memorize all the vocabulary terms that goes along with a building. People may think we don't have any knowledge because its not the things there learning, but we have to have a large vocabulary under our belts for us to succed in this profession.
3. How do you think they would define innovation?
  • I think they would define innovation as taking aspects from all different topics and subjects to create a design. I feel they think designers should have a broader learning cirriculum where they learn more history, geography, etc, so we can take all these different subjects and use them to strengthen our designs.
