IAR 202 Welcome Mat
My country for this project was Korea. I first started this assignment by thinking of what first comes to mind when i think of Korea. I think of their bright vibrant colors, their food and their tradition.
I researched Korea's culture, and the biggest thing that i saw was the Lotus Lantern Festival. It is a big celebration in Korea. It is a celebration of Siddhartha Guatama's birthday. The dominant religion in both North and South Korea is Buddhism so in researching the festival i decided to focus my welcome mat around their religion. The Lotus flower is an important symbol in Buddhism. It is said that when Siddhartha looked in the reflection of the water and saw a lotus in the pond it was then he was enlightened and gain vision of creating the religion Buddhism.

Computing in Architectural Design has been made to make designing not only easier but also made to take less time to complete than before i.e. the phrase coined “time is money”. The more time it takes to design money the less money is made. The faster something is made the more money is received. Creating things by hand to me has more creativity then the click of a mouse. While computing of design does make things easier where as it does save paper, it is easier to go back and make changes because it is saved.
Some things are hard to portray by hand but with computer programs the possibilities are endless. We have a choice of whether we would like to use pencil and paper or computer programs. In early time periods they did not have such an opportunity. Computing helps to communicate ideas in a clear and concise matter whereas pencil and paper may not always prove to be easily understood. As talked about in the article computing can only go as far as we take it. These programs can simply do what we tell it to do, it can’t tell us what to do. Technology has not evolved to the point in which it can do the thinking for us.
In the future I see computing getting advanced to the point that we as designers will not have to do half as many things we do in the design process. That simply one click of the mouse will do it all. The time in which it takes now to create something with the computer programs we currently have in the future it will take less than half the time. I think a major improvement to computers would be being able to sketch in a better way.
