Primitives Mini Brief – ILA 1 : Shapes in Our Environment

It was a very new experience actually being aware of my surroundings, and how it was made. And it’s insightful to see all the uses a single shape can have, and how it can be used for different purposes.

But it was also very interesting to see how where some shapes like circles, rectangles, or cubes came up a lot, some were really hard to come across. And at first I thought this was maybe due to the complexity of some of these shapes (pyramid, torus, etc.) that made them more difficult to use.

But maybe what would be interesting is going somewhere else in the world, and seeing if this balance is the same. Because though the complexity of shapes likely has an impact, is there maybe a cultural influence in the shapes that we tend to use?
