week 14 homework

ABSTRACTION
in this picture we can see the abstraction of the tree-like pillars are helping the structure of the building to remain standing. the designer wanted to denote the strength and support that trees have. he used the tree representation to build all the support for the building. the branches of the pillar spread on the ceiling giving the inside of the structure a forrest-like look. for the viewers is easy to see the intention of the designers since the shapes of the trees and pillars have a very armonious fusion.
Symbolism
A gender symbol is a symbol used to denote the sex of life form or gender of a human being. The two standard gender symbols denoting male and female are derived from astrological symbols denoting the classical planets of Mars and Venus respectively. These symbols have been in use since the Renissance, also denoting elements in alchemy specifically the metals iron and copper. in this example we see that the two symbols are intertwined together. th connection that there is between men and women, the designer wanted to denote the connection there is among both sexes. the symbols on the design do not need any tittle since they are broadly known and used.



REPRESENTATION
this is the picture of a olympic stadium in China, the designer wanted the viewer to relate the buliding to a real bird's nest. although we know this is not a real bird's nest the viewer can see the resemblance due to the amount of detail in the construction of the building making it look very realistic specially from far away. the shape, the twigs surrounding the structure, the hole in the middle, are well defined ,giving the structure a clear message of what the designer intended to do for the viewer. the designer built a bird's nest, and that is what the viewer sees.
