171 Assignment 8

I believe that at the time of the creation of Bauhaus, function x economy was the most important way to design at the time. This is because at the time, Germany was having a housing shortage crisis. Bauhaus design was to design something in the most functional way, using the most appropriate materials. This was the most appropriate way to design at the time. Although, in modern day, in areas such as New Zealand and other wealthy countries, where we have disposable income and have no special design needs, having the  most efficient design and cheap design can be exchanged for one that is more artistic than functional. Depending on the needs of a country or person, I think a design can be either functional and not artistic, or functional and artistic or even more artistic than functional, depending on how functional that person needs that object to be.
